David Bolus has a passion for imagination

By Natalie Beck

I have known David Bolus for a good while now, well enough at least, to remain unfazed by the fact that he is cooking couscous in a little plastic container when I enter his dorm’s kitchen. Couscous of all things.  I watch quietly and let the aura of all things foreign swirl about me in the vapors.

He politely offers me some as he straightens his dark-rimmed glasses, their frames shadowing his weary eyes and fatigued face. When I decline, he beckons me back to his own room with a silent hand and inviting smile; his time is limited tonight. 

Walking into David’s room is like falling inside his head and strolling among the deeper crevices of his infinite brain. His bed is completely disheveled in an apparent attempt to rebel against the concept of sheets. His clothes lay

  

mangled about the floor as if he forgot how to properly use his dresser. His books lay scattered about, open to random pages, setting the mood of a scene straight out of “A Beautiful Mind.”

How appropriate. That movie seems to sum up David exactly … minus the fact that he is not suffering from schizophrenia, nor is he currently being employed to crack Soviet codes. But you understand what I’m saying. MORE >>

From Under the Palm Tree

Embrace your inner drummer

By Laura Pitts
                                   
I’ve always been told to march to the beat of my own drummer. I’m pretty sure some of you have too. And, if you are like me, you probably think your own drummer sounds ridiculous – so much in fact that you are embarrassed to march to it, let alone invoke others to march with you.

I marched in the band during high school. I
can remember long summer days, standing in
the heat at attention – sweating dripping down
my back and my throat desperately needing water. MORE >>

A Poem by Natalie Beck

Invasion is so succexy
I dreamed the mortal part of mine.
Try to differentiate. Drift in
Wake. Differ and she hates-
Headaches. Heartaches.
Heart stops.
The Tree of Triumph renewed the twilight
Of the motionless wheel,
And the nocturnal,
Not turnable,
Became floaters in my eyes. MORE >>
