  1. Autobiographical Poem

    by , 02-24-2010 at 02:11 AM (A Mirror Floating in Water)
    In light of OrphanPip's new blog posts, I have decided to post something that I have been thinking about posting for a while.

    Around six months ago I was assigned in school to write a brief narrative of your life. I instead wrote within a week what turned out to be a ninety-four page autobiographical poem concerning mainly my childhood and with that, my nostalgia, my guilt and my relationship with my mother.

    I'm only going to post this poem in excerpts, as it is too ...

    Okay this is not going to be some philosophical, political or sociological essay. I merely mean to make a simple observation, no ethical or meta-ethical statements. Just an observation.

    I am in an impassioned mood, so the reader may please forgive me if I hurridly speed in my retelling, to the great height of my day which occurred this night at Barnes and Nobles.

    First, let me begin with this morning.
