Cheap Motel on the Moon
My gums are bleeding Dirty, insane, lost, tainted. How can I impose on your safe life of Quietude? I am stained, burned. What will my wit And erotic charms be After you have set your foot In the moon? Solar flares and icy dark — Remember to bring your space suit.

Today I could taste salt water Sitting on my tongue Stinging my throat Coating my teeth in brine I tried to wash it away With wine and rum Coke and come But still it lingered in me

Sometimes I think Canada is the kid that gets away with being an asshole because he is sitting next to an even bigger asshole. I’m looking at you, Steven Harper.

Used to call him “The Lion of Judah,” the way he sat there, his big furry papillion ears making him look like a lion. His name was “Willy,” for Wilhelm, but I used to call him Wilbur, for reasons that are too silly to go into. He never showed his age until the last two months, and I started calling him “Old Man.” He was my grandmother’s dog, or rather, she...

Eighty
Sitting on the flapped-open Door on the back of a pick up. The dirt ruts roll under my dangling bare feet. The passing fields are high and green And far away is a band of dark sky. The sun is warm and she is so pretty, I can’t even speak. Her feet are dangling And we’re coming from somewhere And we’re going to someplace And I never saw her before And I never will...

Support Rick Santorum
Unlike Romney, he really believes the nonsense he spews, and I wish he would become the nominee. He is wrapped up in fights about birth control and abortions, which most Americans support, and at a time when people are going to be asking what he is going to do about the economy. Romney is the kind of guy who can dupe a lot of Americans into believing that Republican ideas on anything can still be...

“Hi! I’m a blogger, crafter, collector, thrifter, photographer, crocheter, feminist and lover!
I’ve got brightly coloured tattoos that involve bows and sparkly things, cute nails, fake eyeglasses, I don’t shave and I totally embrace my curves!

I always find them a bit disturbing in that they seem so like a living thing and are not.
That’s what I like about them.
The feeling is very existential like, is that what we are? Just parts animated by some force of nature?

My philosophy is that people as a whole are assholes but there are cool individuals among them that are worth knowing. The word “tolerance” means, I will put up with you, not that I love you. You bring the stupid assholes of your own group, too, like the ones who think that only their hate is justified.
The ones whose empathy glands were severely stunted, leaving their bodies severely...

mansitrivedi:
Twenty years ago, the British psychologist John Sloboda conducted a simple experiment. He asked music lovers to identify passages of songs that reliably set off a physical reaction, such as tears or goose bumps. Participants identified 20 tear-triggering passages, and when Dr. Sloboda analyzed their properties, a trend emerged: 18 contained a musical device called an...

I traced my fingers over the bindings of a book today, and it wasn’t just any book but a book with a story I knew inside and a million words I had marveled over for what seemed like all my life. It had names in it that somehow spoke volumes and reminded me of my humanity and my need to be a voice with depth and magnitude. So much like those high school games of red light with his...

Because I'm Listening
She was standing in the middle of the room, Speaking softly. Her words pulled splinters from his bones. No makeup, no sexy dress, He saw the mousy, But he also saw the lady. Under her skirt Was a fire aching to be stoked. Certainly she had that covered, Who could miss her? He decided to move close And just hear her. She turned her eyes to him, Then away, and fell silent. “No, don’t...

It’s the way the ocean currents gently bend the sea flowers in the moonlight filtering through the water. The way you look at me, the pull you have on my heart. Your words draw me to you like a force of nature and I am glad to be caught in your undertow. These are waters I know I cannot drown in, only be borne upon the surface as the sea laps gently at my skin. You lead me away...

Fragments #180
I heard shouting down and out the window in the street. It sounded like something I had heard before in Columbus, Ohio, and Brooklyn. I listened. Finding the right twig to grasp in the bush of voices, I heard a man bellow, “Let’s get it OOOON!” It escalated into screams, women screaming, men roaring, revving up the fight. Unlike when I was in Brooklyn, sirens followed.
In...

Three Words
They were in bed naked, with dank traces of sex still in the air. She was the little spoon, asleep. He leaned up on an elbow, whispered in her ear, “I’m going to say the words that will ruin everything.” He hesitated, looking for some sign that she was awake, hoping that she wasn’t.
“I love you,” he said.
He turned on his back and used his forearm as a pillow...

Anonymous asked: Oh I'm sorry! My apologies, I thought you meant everyone in general. In that case yeah you are right. I mean MJ was always a genius and such, but when he was alive the media ridiculed him beyond reason, and then acted like they loved him since the begining before he died. Sorry for the confusion :)

Summer in Texas
In the toss and turn of ambivalent night, Here in the Bronx, I have been shivering and sweating, Between the cold of the cracked windows And the overworked boilers in the building. I awake at every comma in the long sentence of sleep, And since knowing she is dead, There is the redolence of her, again. It is the scent of refuge from nightmares, When crawling into her bed, As a child in the Texas...

Dear, Future Post-Apocalyptic World,
I would like a personal laser cannon. Yes, we have roads, bridges, shopping centers, iPhones, hospitals, food, clothing and love — but you have laser cannons. I’m not sure how you pulled that one off, when you don’t even have indoor plumbing, but good job! Since our most sophisticated military labs can’t seem to get their shit together on that one, I was sadly resigned to...
I will forgive you, I will forgive you. God damn...

What are the sounds from the sky to the ground, I don’t know. Poisoned and pathetic and crying like a baby. Mothers die all the time. Wails go up and disappear on the wind. So few ever hear them in the end. She gave a human life, but from every degree away, they hear it less soundly. What is the sound from the sky to the ground? It is the wailing of a child for his dead mother. Nothing ever...

They called him “The Butcher.” Not a terribly original name, but descriptive. He was a policeman in Ukraine, before the Nazis invaded. He passed the test for racial purity and ended up an SS man in Auschwitz. Those were heady days and the enemy of the world was clear. Everything was clear in the eyes of youth, especially guided by a such a magnetic leader. The wave of the future was...

My History professor calls Poland Europe’s bitch because it was always thrown in as a bonus, like a cheap toy in a Happy Meal. That’s pretty much a direct quote.
Well, now that they have the world’s tallest Jesus, Poland is a must have. It’s like he is trying to give Poland’s enemies a big Jesus...

I suppose your eyes possess me, my dear. I guess it is the softness of your voice or your well-chosen words. Say what you want, but my heart needs rest. You offer me the warmth of your breast. Trade it for my arm hooked around you. I suppose we only sleep soundly with mutual breath. Tuna sandwiches make a tiger dumb. I have not asked for more.
