i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) by ee cummings

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)


One Art
by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something everyday. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these things will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

-Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

these two poems were part of 'in her shoes'. i just watched it with karey and i was surprised. i was surprised because i thought it was a fluffy movie but it wasn't. it was about sisters and growth and change and mental illness in families and i cried a lot.

karey and i decided on pizza and we decided on somewhere new. but where? karey said "someone" (knowing i have a penchant for internet research) should look up "the best pizza in vancouver". so i did and i found a place that had quite a few good reviews. karey and i were missing nanaimo's mambo pizza. the pesto popeye. these guys had something similar so i called them up to order. well they weren't the same place anymore but i told them what we wanted on our pizza :spinach, artichoke hearts, onions, feta, garlic and pesto. we picked it up after picking up our cinnimon buns from cobbs. it was on south east marine and farther away than we thought. it was dark and we couldn't see the numbers on the buildings. we passed it. and when we found it, we realized that they had changed names. millenium pizza. it was small time family run type. he told me hopefully that next week they were starting pepperoni pizza for 5.99. karey made me talk with her about our movie options on the way to the store. she wanted an in and out experience at block busters. this isn't the way i do things. i like to see all the possibilities. what if i decide and then miss out because i didn't think of one that would be there that i want to see? but i participated and in the store i tried to walk fast but still glance as thoughroughly at all the movies as i went by. i dont' think i've ever been that fast. karey was still hurrying me along however. but in her shoes was not on our list, so keeping our eyes open for other movies paid off in the end.

so anyways good movie, good pizza, good poems.
