In other news

...it's good to post again.

I highly recommend having a friend who organizes and hosts a 4-hour writing marathon. It's awesome, and mind-blowing. I was a bit numb afterwards, and quite exhausted.

A random piece I wrote somewhere in there:

Tantrum in the City

arms and legs flailing wildly
at first you think everyone will ignore you
but soon enough they start
to throw their own

the cars and buildings join in
doors slamming,
elevators dropping to the ground
in sheer ecstasy

over on the side
the only tree shakes its branches as best it can

headlines in the paper:
mass catharsis hits DC
city will never be the same
elevator repairmen working overtime
