		<description><![CDATA[this is what you want?
this insanity.
this chaos.
sink my teeth in
an apple from the tree
on a cold fall day.
the entire world
in the drop of spittle
hanging from my chin.

		<description><![CDATA[i can see the pieces
though pieces they remain
yearning for whole
still
the frustration in
this brokenness is
overcome
by the beauty of each piece
and knowledge of the challenge
and promise that lies ahead

		<description><![CDATA[i promised i wouldn&#8217;t write you a poem &#8211; i lied.
i apologize &#8211; prose does not suit you
you are a poem not a paragraph
grammar has no place in your definition
your hair owns the wind that blows
crosses off the t&#8217;s and dots off the i&#8217;s
your eyes fragment my hardened tendency
structuring the sentences of feeling
your lips rewrite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[winter freeze sets in.
optimism its victim,
trapped beneath the ice.
trees of industry
crashing heavy to the ground-
cacophonously. 
houses built on sand,
monuments to mankind&#8217;s greed,
blown into the wind.
we&#8217;ve taken stock in
false constructs for way too long.
lets blaze our own trail.
in the wilderness,
our trademark has always been
ingenuity.
be ever hopeful
together we&#8217;ll discover
life in harmony.
with strengthened resolve
the whole of humanity
will walk in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[where did you come from?
the universe, he whispered
through the silent snow 
for some inexplicable reason, i&#8217;ve recently found myself on haiku-writing kick.  well, maybe its not that inexplicable, i&#8217;ve been using twitter&#8211;a social network/micro-blogging service&#8211;and haikus lend themselves to the 140 character limit.  that coupled with the fact that i&#8217;ve been mildly beating myself up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;act natural!&#8221; that was what she told me as she took my picture.  unfortunately acting natural is an oxymoron. to &#8216;just be&#8217; is what the goal truly is, and that&#8217;s already out of the question when you know there&#8217;s a camera clicking away&#8230;
which got me thinking: how often do we really &#8216;just be&#8217;?  how often [...]]]></description>
