...so here are my two (and only remotely achievable) resolutions for 2007:
I will identify an individual or entity worthy of the dubious Douchebag-of-the-Month designation (Check. See below.) and I will also, to redeem the former, run a poem once per month.
This month's poem is by one of my favorites, e.e. cummings, who I always pictured (when I was a junior high school girl plowing through every bit of poetry in the library, yes, Amber, it's true, I hope you're happy now) as a short, bespectacled, sadly unattractive bald man. He was actually sort of sexy as you can see here. I'd do him. So here's January's poem of the month:
i love you much(most beautiful darling)
i love you much(most beautiful darling)
more than anyone on the earth and i
like you better than everything in the sky
-sunlight and singing welcome your coming
although winter may be everywhere
with such a silence and such a darkness
noone can quite begin to guess
(except my life)the true time of year-
and if what calls itself a world should have
the luck to hear such singing(or glimpse such
sunlight as will leap higher than high
through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each
nearness)everyone certainly would(my
most beautiful darling)believe in nothing but love

The only poet whose entire collection of poetry is on my bookshelves!
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
you keep reading my mind, bhd. stop it.
sigh...

Read your mind? Not yet. But I'm working on it.
