Sunset



the late glow of a sunset
golden
shimmering;
incandescent

bathe me in your warmth
burn me in your intensity
close my eyes
and just let me be

I soar
faster, higher
gliding on your wings
of golden light

unadulterated euphoria;
turbulent passion
anger..sorrow..rapture... madness
anything-
just let me be

in the late glow of a sunset

Valentines day is everyday.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
and so are you.

Four lines. Let us take a moment to explore these four lines. These four lines are an expression from the beating heart that pumps hopelessly romantic love around the circulatory system of the soul. Roses are red....it's a matter of fact. You don't deny a force of nature. Roses are red. Simple, yet profound. Violets are blue....more of the same. Just with that little extra pzazz. Sugar is sweet....how could it be anything else? One thinks sugar, one thinks sweet. No two ways about it. So, here's the good part (you can wake up now) you are all that. And more. Your beauty is simple. Yet profound. My love, too, is like that for you. Undeniable. Unquestionable. Just as roses are red. Just as violets are blue. Just as sugar is sweet. So is my love for you. It's a fact.

Sci Li - CIT hybridization

Consider the Science Library, which has 5 medium energy ( with the energy caused by classes, work, and lab) weekday orbitals and 2 low energy weekend orbitals. In order that the intrepid student molecule achieve optimal bonding with the Sci Li, that is, maximal studying output with mininal energy input, the student must bond with the low energy weekend orbitals first.

However, a closer look at the low energy weekend orbitals available at the Sci Li will reveal that these orbitals have nodes which will not allow any student-Sci Li bonding to take place. These nodes are in full effect Saturdays after 10pm, and Sundays before 12pm. In addition, the latter most medium energy weekday orbital has a node after 10pm.

It is clear that optimal student-Sci Li bonding cannot take place at the afore-mentioned nodes, and so it becomes necessary that another studying place, the Center for Information Technology be involved.

Consider the CIT, which has 5 high energy weekday orbitals ( with the energy caused by rooms being occupied for lectures) and 2 low energy weekend orbitals. Contrary to the Sci Li, the CIT's low energy weekend orbitals have nodes that are spaced further apart, with a node on Saturdays after 2am and Sundays after 2am, leaving more room for student-CIT bonding.

Therefore, mixing the medium energy weekday orbitals at the Sci Li and the low energy weekend orbitals at the CIT will result in a Sci Li - CIT hybird to which the noble student molecule will be free to bond with optimal results.

Silence

I am back
here
back in the same place I was before
wondering
sighing
dying inside
so I question myself
how did I get here?

must I keep coming back
again and
again
like a dog
to its own vomit?

questions - every one of them unanswered
silence
silence
silence

but even so
spring comes
soon after winter

dawn comes
soon after dusk

and the sun bids goodbye to the moon

Black History Month

Don't call me black. I am African-American.
My great grandfather was oppressed. My grandfather was oppressed
I come here, and you tell me
I am oppressed.
I will stand before you and I will tell you about my oppression-
Because I am oppressed.

Don't call me black. I am African-American.
I will learn about my heritage
and so I will major in africana studies
to learn my roots
I will become a message to those of you that would oppress me-
beat me down
tear me down
wear me down.

Don't call me black. I am African-American.
Don't hate on me.
Don't hate on my people.
I will make you see the difference-

Don't call me black. I am African-American
