“But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality...

crepúsculo
s. m. [kɾe’puskulo]
Del latín crepuscŭlum
La claridad que comienza a vislumbrarse desde el inicio del amanecer hasta la salida del sol y desde que éste se pone hasta que cae la noche. En el primer caso, se habla del crepúsculo matutino, alba o aurora, mientras que, en el segundo, se trata del crepúsculo vespertino.

Name
In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing.
It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine. She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of the horse—which is...

Para que tú me oigas mis palabras se adelgazan a veces como las huellas de las gaviotas en las playas. Collar, cascabel ebrio para tus manos suaves como las uvas. Y las miro lejanas mis palabras. Más que mías son tuyas. Van trepando en mi viejo dolor como las yedras. Ellas trepan así por las paredes húmedas. Eres tú la culpable de este juego sangriento. Ellas están huyendo de mi guarida...

My summer reading list began with about 20 books. I can count the books I read this summer with one hand. It’s not like I’ve lost interest in reading, I love talking about books and authors, but for some reason I have become an extremely slow reader. My biggest problems are that I have too many things to read around me and I’m unable to finish any book I start.
This whole summer...
Goals for the coming semester
Eat healthier
Study productively
Talk more in class
Take notes while reading
Join a couple of clubs
Go on more bike rides with tranahan
Accept academic challenges

Wondering fingers move through strands of hair, each one longing to be touched. The most impatient ones come right off and stick to your hands for just a second. Later they fly off. One falls right into your lower lip. You stick back your tongue and blow, ever so slightly, with a smile. The ones that fall unto your body stick there for just a little longer. Taking delight in the softness of their...

I used to revere the nighttime. I used to love wrapping myself in a mountain of misery. I used to escape from home by getting high, and sometimes I still feel little pushes to go toke, to uncork every bottle and pour down the drinks. But that’s not who I want to be. I want to face everything with a clear mind. Unless I’m doing it for fun, I’m not going to do it for escape.
Today...
Being at home for the first time in six months I’m noticing so many things I hadn’t before. A lot of things have to change here, but I’m not sure if I have the power or the right to make any suggestions. For one, my grandma shouldn’t waste her time working for everyone else in this house. I feel bad for every dish she has to wash or everytime she’s cooking a meal....
