snowblind on a Saturday night the patriots have all gone home back to hang their flags as if they were children hanging christmas stockings I quit buying into all that jazz somewhere around the age of enlightenment funneling my hopes through a glass straw right before the twilight Ive got extra marital affairs on my mind on my skin nothing that the old veterinarian special cant fix up in a jiffy why do I do what it is that I do why do I put more stress on the fractured eyelet because I need to know how strong I am how weak I can be how deep I am willing to reach I take my poetry as seriously as the heart attack that I am trying to incorporate into the experience the expanding circumference of my girth is on the backburner it appears that women don’t seem to mind it as much as I do Ive got other dilemmas to deal with love it seems feels like a thankless job this time around there is a lonely feeling that spreads through me whenever we make contact whenever I am reassured of the realization that I am not needed your silent reprise on endless occasions when what I give is slipped into the closet along with all of the other unopened offerings that I have given when my back is turned towards you….(self defense) a moment I am trying not to regret a feeling that I am having a hard time shaking off of my sleeve I am a man and so that is supposed to mean something though I can barely register what in the hell it could be something along the parameters of my propriety to be strong and having the ability to read minds and take things on faith trusting in the feeling or a tone of voice but all of that sounds like science fiction to me down here at sea level the stars seem a long way off and I know that there are harsher climates than this but reference points such as that don’t mean that much to me anymore I want to lie among white sand the sky littered with clouds for decorations sake healthy looking fluff and I want crisp waters that will relieve me from the heat which I have invited I will need plush cotton to lie upon situated near some shade where I can rest an unhealthy beverage while its waiting to fade into me and I will need you to love me if any of this is going to work because the life I am living is going to be too short for you to express anything less than the same unbridled passion that I feel for you and if you feel anything less than that then put it into the closet with all of the rest of the worthless belongings you have suffered if my hands are bound it is only because you left them that way [This message has been edited by Drexler_McStyles (06-22-2003 12:52 AM).] |

the title is perfect... fractured eyelet is irrevocably weakened as it has a tendency to fray... Honest voice typing real poetry--impressive feat with bound hands.  |

methinks you have the hiccups?  I hear tell a bit o bitters cures that. Never worked for me tho. But all the bartenders made me drink the slop anyway. |

"paganopdometry, if thats a word, then I want credit for it"  love the name you give this stuff you writewhatever you call it? it IS passion, it IS LIFE, straight from the pores and bones you are so intense, I wonder if you really know the effect you have on your readers, how you crawl around under the surface you EMOTE all over the page, Steven, and that's why I read everything you write don't bust |
