I can see silence. She stares at me without eyes. I can smell silence. Apples cooking underwater. I can taste silence. Whispered stones among shallows. I can touch silence. Pressing plastic keys of type. I can hear silence. She said burn ... together. |

BTW, When I hit the reply button, in just a moment, I'll be kicked to the "old" server. I've only been able to access the "new" late this AM, then not at all till just now. We'll see, Hopin' this ain't a goodbye ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

Yes, this was a little muted of me, wranx. I was not in happy spirits while writing it. Feeling better now. And the server, since changing, still kicks people off now and again. It has to do with ISPs. Ron knows more about it than I do. Feel free to drop him a message in Bug Swatter, and he can give you a much more technical, and correct, reply. Said if I only could ... |

Hmm, well this is more like it, in a response to yr own challenge... But Mr. Mope has reared his dreary li'l head again. *kiss* Be happy. Fr me? Fr you? Fr cool music and cool memories and cool futures. And fr the fact that I will be regaling you with rants about Billy Idol performing live in the Mac Hall as soon as I get home on Wednesday. Still wish you could go with me to that... Love y' muchly. Sad, gone poetry and all. written in blood before everything went black JCV [This message has been edited by Anvrill (07-29-2002 07:32 PM).] |

Mikey, I like it. *grins* A very piercing, dark piece. Sorry I don't have more then that - I usually don't post short ones like this. Hopefully more next time. Sincerely, Titus "They say that a hero can save us. I'm not gonna stand here and wait..." |
