red and yellow tulips gather round, this wallpaper is passe already worn out old paint, like that woman sticking to the lead chips falling, clinging to the other end of the umbilical cord that needs her iron deficient blood for now, she woke one morning speaking a foreign tongue, seeking to edit the role that wore her face too long like an expired shelflife, freezedried corn of the 90's overdone and played out while emerging parts scatter into tin cans, compartmentized on cabinets, hit or miss, potluck dinners, some without labels, she's surprised daily, consomme thru minestone, new plots and twisted recipes throwing her into this riddle she's unravelling, as she sits still starry eyed by the window, waiting for the UPS man, i heard she saw god with him last time was thru the ambers of november, she kept the leaves they made love on, tucked and withering, they give hope under the mattress for now, along with crumbling dollar bills she still saves, and her packed suitcase, ready for the great escape for now her heart rides like a stopwatch with these hit and run lovers, what a laugh, at least she can still laugh at herself, a taken woman complaining about love that can only be savored as long as a lick of vanilla icecream, where o where does she get such moxie? ****for mikey, may he be alive and well [This message has been edited by inkedgoddess (08-04-2003 04:55 PM).] |

Michele - you have so many words inside you that it's amazing. Let it out, let it out, and keep writing like this... BC |

"she kept the leaves they made love on, tucked and withering, they give hope under the mattress for now, along with crumbling dollar bills she still saves, and her packed suitcase, ready for the great escape for now her heart rides like a stopwatch with these hit and run lovers, what a laugh, at least she can still laugh at herself, a taken woman complaining about love that can only be savored as long as a lick of vanilla icecream, where o where does she get such moxie?" Moxie, reminds me of a man I once new who used to say that all the time.. Thanks for bringing that back with a great write.  |

Michele- This is definately one for the ages... It is strange to read, but not in an unpleasant, or bad way. Oh, heck.. I'm not sure even how to explain my feelings about this. All I can tell you is that I thoroughly enjoyed this write (as I do most of yours) and am looking forward to seeing what happens after he arrives this time. We are all equal but we’re individually different |

Way to go Inkedone. Well done as usual but do they all have to be this long. You gotta learn to shorten them. You tax my attention span. |
