The weight of all that you have yoked is much too much for me. Your grudges (insecurity) and all your simple jokes are daggers that are much too blunt to kill within the Templar's creed. Ladies? I must leave you be, let your tongues weave those rag rugs allow my heart a quiet bleed... in my room, alone, in peace watching wavers of the sun reflect upon the moon in blood. You asked me to come out and I am crying now my river's flood the levees of my lips concede the brown edges on my teeth mud -- I bite my wordy tongue... cluck-cluck-cluck and coo from doves settled in the eaves of us: You asked me to come out and I think that I have had enough-- I'm dirty, wordy, full of lust-- don't bruise your knuckles on my door. You asked me to come out and I am wondering, "what for" 'cause I don't like me anymore-- a member of the club of bores pretending that the past is gone singing songs off-key and hon? I've read better books than we have braided all together as we argue over every piece as we offer up old jeans in proof of what we usedta be. Too tight around the mid-riff and decades of the toss of love a coin into the sky in twirl landing on the edge to roll... Ladies? I have had enough. I prefer bare floors and feet, stomping to the melody of the woman I am now-- a cow, a crow, a dog, a sow... The words you use describing me-- are syllables of one no longer in your keep. I'm done. |

Well that's telling them!!! (as only you can) Listen, Karen, we change back and forth in physical and emotional state and no one can tell me they have stayed the same their whole life. If they do they are lying/lieing (I never get that one correct). Have missed you and hope that everything is going better down there. a few favorite lines: "I've read better books than we have braided all together" and : "landing on the edge to roll... I prefer bare floors and feet, stomping to the melody of the woman I am now--" you always show such wordpower~~ hugs and love M |

Sometimes I think we just outgrow certain people. It's just that simple, Karen. This is so good and so you. Ida |

Ma twin, I had me a bit of cry-fest myself this morning, and after that I said, "I am SO done with trying to please anyone but MOI!" I wish I was there to give you a  I've had me about enough of the two-faced, plastic world of women's waggling tongues myself, but you sure said it better than I ever could. This poem should be on a plaque! in my room, alone, in peace |

The 'I'm done' has fallen from lips as well. Not the same circumstances, but just saying "I'm done" releases a pressure valve. Hugging you! (and you too Sharon!) |

To paraphrase lyrics from the Helen Reddy song, "You are woman! ~ and I hear you roar!" No, you most-assuredly do not belong with those Rag Rugs. Don't they know that you are pip's Serene Highness?!? ~ and should be treated acordingly! As per usual, there are several quotable and memorable lines! Sending a warm hug and a 'high-five', Linda  |

*smile* I just never pictured this as my life... I want my place in the Marigny! :wah: So I guess it's official: Karen's a freak--now watch me give 'em all the one finger salute with instructions to sit and spin! It's so good to be home. I love you all.  |

They were merely satellites orbiting round you, using the vitality and brilliance of the star you are! I hear sometimes those satellites crash and burn. Too bad. Another powerful write! luv ya, misce' |

Oh you continue to teach me - Faubourg Marigny By the time I get there, I am going to know my way around better than you.  It never works when you want to be part of somewhere, or something you never really wanted in the first place. It's like the feeling you get when going "home", getting off a plane, and being bitten alive by mosquitoes the size of airplanes, then booking your flight back a week earlier, see? Sorry, only comparison I have for you.  Ils sont la classe inférieure de toute façon, ainsi tenez-vous grand, et souriez. I love ya! Carpe' Diem, Mysteria |

When it comes to witches vs waggers? I'll choose me a 'witch' first anytime! Let'em wag 'till their tongues shrivel in their dust-bin mouths. I'm happy to not be 'normal'  |
