It is rare that two great people who changed history share the same birthday, and extremely interesting that they would be born in the same year.  Darwin and Lincoln may not of ever met during there life time since they lived in different worlds. However, both of them have shaped the world we live in today.  Happy 200 Birthday to Charles Darwin and President Lincoln.  I honor both of there accomplishments.

Cut of Jeans

$198.95 for a pair of jeans,
the number echoed inside.
My ears heard before the eyes.
Sitting across with a bag
orange and green by her feet.
A voice next to me questioned
she asked about the brand
about the jeans, about the fit.
The answer struck me
hurt my insides.
The jeans were no more,
fell out of the bag days ago
left on a seat of a bus
one like this.
$198.95 for a pair of jeans
ones that she never wore.
She smiled and said
I still have the bag!

This morning the subway was packed, the sun being out and everyone trying to rush to work before the humidity sweats the morning coffee out of us, i couldn’t't get a seat. Standing rocking with the harsh sounds of the breaks I could only wonder when was the last time they squirted W-40 on them.  Is it me or when you hear metal on metal that should be a warning??  I realized this morning as I got out of the station there is nothing surreal then after the rain washes everything away.  You come out to a blue-sky day after the rain and you might not even need coffee…  Well it was a thought.  I grabbed my coffee and went back into the shadows of a Tuesday workday.

So I’m back and my front too, as my mind jumps back into the creative highway trying not to crash, or get caught like Lindsay Lohan with a DWI (Drinking while on the Internet).   Its time for some creative writing and creative writing tips, along with a daily subway ride…
