i laugh through my teeth
and see through glass,
like a spider in a vase.
Washroom white and cornflower blue,
it's so depressing staring at you.

Black boots like Stevie Nicks
stumbling is how i get my kicks.
Trip down yellow hallways,
count and curse the days.

Calculator button pushers,
vegas neon flashers
and you expect me to rise to the occasion
you try to fix me with delicate persuasion.
Yes,you glue me up,call me fixed
and award me a wreath for running the race.



Do i contradict myself?Very well i contradict myself.I contain multitudes.~walt whitman

Really neat scenes here...
"the spider in a vase"....
"you glue me up, call me fixed
and award me a wreath for running the race."
A sense of helplessness permeates...happens to all of us, sometime.
Very enjoyable!

Ahhhhhh yessss....here I am searching through the pages
for your work. And why you may ask?
Because I LIKE it!

I've read this one before but who cares.
Because I LIKE it! You are talented. That's no lie.

May i make a suggestion on this piece
that might ZAP'em good?
Instead of yellow hallways...
call them...yellow brickroads.

Think about it.
Fabulous piece none the less.
*thanx*

ooooh mystic!!!!!! great idea!! On that line i was thinking of my school days,and how the halls were painted such a silent supposedly calm color,yellow brickroads,that seems almost to fit better because the walls were nasty concrete bricks,plus when waiting for the busses to arrive they often popped wizard of oz or something in the vcr.....very interesting,this suggestion stuff is awesome!! yellow brick...has so much more pizazz doesn't it?? THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
