Something I threw together. Right now, it sounds cool. I'm sure once I'm well-rested, I'll have second thoughts. Oh well.

-smooth-
Smooth. So smooth.
Taste the vowels caught between my teeth.
Oh. Ee. I am U.
Hair slicked back to keep it out of reach.
Smooth, so smooth.
Edges all worn away from time.
Jagged little scars that weren't worth the lines
I fed U to keep U from finding out.
Little lost night in a rotting rain shed,
Girl left with the smell of jasmine and her first blood.
Smooth, so smooth, the way the lights played in my hair,
The blue and red lights -- look at me! I'm revolving!
I'm spinning out of control.
Smooth, so smooth, the sides of this hole.
Trying to climb out, falling farther than I thought
I could.
U knew I would.
I never should.
I did, though.
And I felt so gloriously f______ sah-moooooooooooth
Through it all.

You had to do it.   This one HAD to be read out loud, so I did.  (Forgot the windows were open, too...)

I LIKE this mood in you.

 she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough,
and I'm a little bit rusty, and I feel like my head is caving in.
...and I dont know if I've ever been really loved by a hand thats touched me...
and I feel like somethings gonna give...
and I'm a little bit angry.

serenity,
Thanks. I guess this held up better than I expected.

devina,
Merci. Sleep deprivation brings out weird things in me -- of course, it also keeps me totally unguarded, so any barriers I might invariably put up in some of my more obtuse poems are completely obliterated.

JM,
You're right, that IS funny.

Mike
