			<title>Dinner With Grandma</title>
			<description>&amp;quot;I pinch them first then flush them down the toilet.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; My grandmother is discussing her ant killing methods, and I guess flushing them isn't enough to drown the life out of the little suckers.&amp;nbsp; Oh s**t.&amp;nbsp; She took a bite of her beloved eggplant parmesan.&amp;nbsp;..</description>

			<title>The Bearded Lady</title>
			<description>They tell you to do what makes you happy.&amp;nbsp;If that&amp;rsquo;s the case then I&amp;rsquo;ll move to the mountains, grow a beard and wear flannel.&amp;nbsp;Become a dignified mountain man, or when in town the crazy bearded lady who smells like rotten tomatoes and campfire smoke.&amp;nbsp;It&amp;rsquo;s all about per..</description>

			<title>Bannel Thoughts?</title>
			<description>I&amp;rsquo;ve crashed into the world.&amp;nbsp;I say this because there are too many things I&amp;rsquo;ve hit to be specific.&amp;nbsp;My mind wanders and then it happens.&amp;nbsp;Collapse.&amp;nbsp;A collision between rational and absurdity&amp;mdash;thoughts and processes.&amp;nbsp;Sitting in a class talking about naturalism,..</description>

			<title>Ode to Newton</title>
			<description>Everything is falling&amp;mdash;thanks gravity.&amp;nbsp; I guess I didn&amp;rsquo;t read between the lines when Newton stated whatever comes up must come down.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well thanks, dude.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for clearing up my tears only to have them water the pillow under my head.&amp;nbsp; It was getting a little dr..</description>

			<title>Shiraz</title>
			<description>Your red wine stains my lips because you thrive on drinking that five-dollar burgundy.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s not even red or burgundy that outlines and enhances the cracks of winter ware on these siren-like features.&amp;nbsp; More of a purple-blue I&amp;rsquo;d say; similar to a corpse with a heart as cold as y..</description>

			<title>Inside Eyelids</title>
			<description>I drove to work last week without defrosting my windshield. The ice crystals were formed in a splendid pattern preventing me from viewing the so called dangerous outside world. I took my contacts out driving home from school Thursday night. The streetlights and headlights were blurred into circle ..</description>

			<title>Monochromatic</title>
			<description>To be monochromatic is to be rid of all the glitz and glamour that is life. A muted way of existence that is poetically the correct way to be. It leaves you there, tasteless as you are, bearing you ever enchanting mind for both friend and foe to see. Able to dig deep into the roots of your dendrites..</description>

			<title>Leaving</title>
			<description>I went to the beach today (January 12th, 2008) with a blanket and a pack of cigarettes.&amp;nbsp; Sat on a rock bundled up like a newborn, and watched the waves roll in.&amp;nbsp; The sky was blue, but still dull and cloudy and I could see for miles across the fresh water.&amp;nbsp; I went to say goodbye becaus..</description>

			<title>Roads</title>
			<description>It&amp;rsquo;s funny how people can go from place to place without thinking twice.&amp;nbsp;You see a puddle, you step over it.&amp;nbsp;You pass a 120-year-old oak tree, your thoughts don&amp;rsquo;t fluctuate.&amp;nbsp;All these normal occurrences that will always be there.&amp;nbsp;A constant that can be depended on.&amp;nb..</description>

			<title>Contractions and Contradictions</title>
			<description>I&amp;rsquo;m losing the battle between myself and myself. Does that mean I&amp;rsquo;m winning? It&amp;rsquo;s irrelevant. I&amp;rsquo;m addicted to the burn of Listerine because it&amp;rsquo;s the only thing that gets the taste of you out of my mouth. I&amp;rsquo;m addicted to the incessant gnawing of a tattoo needle..</description>
