I Wish I Wrote This In Binary

"I Wish I Wrote This In Binary"

He could not escape who he was meant to be

A student of Berkeley EECS

Was tied to computer screens

And it's true

He spends some of the day programming his codes

But at home

Paladins take his time but don't come to life

Still alone

Doing nothing until 4am tonight

He falls into a deep sleep

And forgets he once had dreams

One day he'll meet someone to marry

She'll love money

But at least he'll get his family

Oh not exactly anti-social

But pro-online

Seems an accurate way to describe.

Point Pinole Shoreline

"Point Pinole Shoreline"

I left the golden hills of Berkeley tonight

And went northwest towards the Point Pinole shoreline

It was dark when I entered the trail but

As I came to the Bay I saw the lights

There the San Rafael Bridge was close to me

Cars drive over water so casually

Further I sensed what had taken me here

The Gate which had made me question all fears

I don't have the future but I want my fate

Before my past becomes easily erased

If it's true we're different then tell me why

We feel love and hate like we're all the same

I can't see what lies in dark

I don't know what is my part

Beyond the Bay is where I need to go

Because I have to learn more of this world.

Thursday Night

"Thursday Night"

I left love inside a plastic cup

And set aside a trash can

Where you could throw it up

In case you've had enough

I walked you home late that night

To make sure you'd get by all right

You offered to let me into your apartment

An inviting dark with no roommates inside

But you were unaware of your senses

And slurred too many broken sentences

I wasn't sure if you were just in love

It felt too easy but I'm not one to judge

Cause I stayed over for just a few hours...

Though not long enough for mistakes to matter...

You took in too much of me

But it's hard to want to leave.
