Kat is our resident poet laureate, so we've decided to give her a place to publish her wonderful work. Expect more from her and the other X-Girls here in the future.

I Believe

you think I'm inane

that I don't care to contemplate

all of your beliefs and all that you explain.

still I do understand

it goes against all I've ever learned

it won me over like a tidal wave of secrets.

and now I can see through your mind

and while I analyze you

you think that I'm just quiet

because I don't believe.

did I ever say I don't believe?

Lessons to be Learned

my brother plays the guitar.

he makes up his own songs

and lives his own life

and he's only nine.

my brother plays the guitar.

I dance.

I follow the rhythm

I wear out my feet

I practice for hours

I jump

I leap

I fall and get back up.

My brother plays the guitar, but I take the lessons.

Fashionably Oblivious.

the tall thin

waify blonde model

stares straight ahead

into the future

and all she can see

are lights

camera flashes

fame

and red carpets.

didn't know oblivion could be so "haute couture".
