Counting every drop of air, swallowed partially and spit away, I think we are tired from too much sleep, or perhaps from spinning for too long. lets join hands now: A human sphere that smears and smears and fades away I am a totally separate piece, photosphere comes through in grey mixed with grey… We are a new race- half human, and half bird no feathers, no eyes JUST a pretty piece of glass cutting through the atmosphere here’s to slowly standing up, here’s to pushing us to the ground here is to the wordless song: I drown every day. this is for tasting sour air, this is for Fridays and Mondays, for Saturdays and Sundays. This is for rectangles, triangles, circles and squares: the shapes we use to distort our vision twists and twists till’ there’s no more: motion sickness wins the war And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!" |

Is it just me, or did you give them a picture where the resolution is too low, and therefore you're a pixellated human? |

Excellent work, Wind. Your mind intrigues me.... coyote "Who knows if to live is to be dead, and to be dead, to live? And we really, it may be, are dead; in fact I once heard sages say that we are now dead, |

Wonderful Wind. This is a fine piece of writing. The best I have read this morning. As for the picture I thought it was okay. The old one was fuzzy...this one seems a little sharper. At least you can see the shape of the face now. Wish I could write like you girl. Keep it up! Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Liz, you look hauntingly beautiful in your photo. Fine features and incredible depth in your eyes--or are they just out of focus? lol Your poem is a trip and a half! Linda |

I think we are tired from too much sleep, or perhaps from spinning for too long. Liz, I love this poem...even if I did get dizzy reading it. ahahahaha!! Seriously, my litlle friend, I sure did miss you while we were gone, though I did see you over yonder yesterday. I would have e-mailed you, but couldn't find your address. Oh, this picture is really pretty. You already know that, don't you? LOL Seriously, it's really good, Liz. It's a lot better than the others you had on here. You look older in this one than you did the others. I hope that's good to hear. LOL Love ya, my friend Hugs Ethel |
