three years
(a lifetime in these
young days)
of friendship
later and
i can only hope you remember me for
the time i
brought you sprite and
watched tv with you
when you were sick
or
our first-ever coffee date
or
all the
sweet silly revenge we sought
together
(ironic now that
we act against
instead of with
each other)
or
the day you moved and
i packed everything
you didn’t want tothree years of friendship
ended
and i can only hope you remember me for
all the times i was
there for you
instead of
all the times i was
not.
// This is nothing//
Basically
I’m this screwed being
who has never known
a first kiss
or caress -
I am older than
time could carve,
younger than
time could define.
I’m caught,
between decades
and hopeless longings.
No one has taught me
how to love myself,
and in turn,
I’ve learned to despise.I am everything
a man hopes for
and nothing a man wants,
and that has crafted me
into a state of lonelineess.
I am destined
to carry sadness
in the cracks of my spine,
Sorrow has built
what is left to my name
Justice Department secretly taps into AP reporters’ phone records
In a surprising declaration a short time ago, the Associated Press revealed that the Justice Department had obtained two months of phone records tied to numerous reporters and editors in various cities, in what the news organization is calling a “massive and unprecedented intrusion.”
The reason for the government’s actions, which the AP was alerted to in a letter Friday, are as of now unknown.
From the Associated Press’ story on the emerging scandal:
In all, the government seized those records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices whose phone records were targeted on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
AP’s President and CEO, Gary Pruitt, issued a strongly-worded letter to Attorney General Eric Holder:
We regard this action by the Department of Justice as a serious interference with AP’s constitutional rights to gather and report the news. While we evaluate our options we urgently request that you immediately return to the AP the telephone toll records that the Department subpoenaed and destroy all copies.Photo: Molly Riley / Associated Press
