so I'll bite the lower lip I'd turned my bullets in sometime in the seventies and peace was just a burn of flag that didn't mean a thing to me no, not then and perhaps, it is nothing to me now. even tho I cried to see the rubble disillusions build-- I, the daisyqueen, did sit and prayed for kids to commit horrific suicide as they acted out their rage-- symbolic act of patricide build the bombs to have your say-- now there is no other way... and I know it's what "they" thought (and part of me still nods in shame) Power. In the co2, poetry-- insecticide trucks of anger rolling in and planes that broke the speed of sound weary now of words. Now I bite the lower lip if only to cease quivering. It seem the rhetoric does work. The words, they can mean anything-- just like infamous inkblot. I always hated politics-- so why did I choose word? I shake my head confused today, knowing the fine line. Madman or a prophecy? Today I only question self and feed my head the liquid gold assuring me that no one cares... if any ever did. What a great excuse to drown. "Salute'" from the floor... licking fuzzy lips to ask if I can have some more... specks of blood on lower lip smiling red flecks on the teeth downing shots of quick forget perversely sparking memory of all I once believed. |

Strong and very clear even with the sparkles in the amber fluid dear. Tom Waits always says, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." I've never doubted the logic of that statement. Thank you for sharing this. |

When you birth these... do you sit back from pure exhaustion? I would... I did, once...when Mysteria worked me to death to find an ending that she and her friends hadn't already decided upon...and I felt like I had given birth to triplets... but you...you gutwrenchslide these out... so? Where's the book? |

Hey--quick thanks and kisses to all for taking the time to read and reply. (and psssst...ya'll stop worrying, I'm okay, okay? Just a combo of natural causes and drinking myself sick--so tsk to me--and shame on me at that. I'll be back around later! Love and gratitude, yes, all you mother hens, I will behave myself--for awhile.)  |
