why miguel hasn't "written" much in over a year.

you might notice that the poems here are separated clearly by about a year of inactivity.

call it what you must, but i decided to not write any poems in that span of time, from early march of 2003 until mid-march of 2004. many things had been going on, and i felt like poetry wasn't an adequate enough way of expressing myself because it felt a bit too repetitive and trying.

i've missed it.

and then i remembered how liberating and exhilarating this medium was, and here i am, writing to you, dear reader, about my intentions, which whould be nothing short of the following: self-expression, social awareness, frustration, opinionating, and of course, qualitatively evaluating my existence as time dictates where i am.

and you, dear reader, i plead two things: to read, and to critique.

as my voice is heard, make yours.

give me a blurb.
