My Life
Mylinh Nguyen
My life is reckless
I feel like every day
is a new adventure.
Pushing your body to the limit
to see how much it can handle.
Each stunt a
perform
The adrenaline rushes through my
skin,
leaving me wanting more.
The scares on my back,
broken bones,
bloody noses and cuts.
Don’t know
how to stop,
I push the body
where it’s never gone before.

Poem of the Day: I Dreamed That I Was Old
BY STANLEY KUNITZ
I dreamed that I was old: in stale declension
Fallen from my prime, when company
Was mine, cat-nimbleness, and green invention,
Before time took my leafy hours away.
My wisdom, ripe with body’s ruin, found
Itself tart recompense for what was lost
In false exchange: since wisdom in the ground
Has no apocalypse or pentecost.
I wept for my youth, sweet passionate young thought,
And cozy women dead that by my side
Once lay: I wept with bitter longing, not
Remembering how in my youth I cried.
