Liar Lair

Peach
Watermelon footsteps stuck to the floor
From Samurai activity and clicking orange shoes
changed to foamy orange shoes
almost changed to orange sneakers

Sneaking a peach
with no receipts.

Sunken low slumping creeps.

Not New York Til Thursday

This is an ethermessage.
Vacationing at the pool with no rain
or in the yard in exchange.

Check the back yard

there are red birds there.

Romance of Logs

Toggle
Scroll
Roll around in bed.
Hung necklaces from the mirrors and implemented
'green' light bulbs that last nine years.
In nine years there will be a lot of MERCURY in the landfills
unless we find a way to recycle it.
And what are the side effects?
I have conspiracy theories for everything,
I (don't) fall asleep thinking,
I lay there thinking, my neck is stiff from depression
and what if it is caused by the mercury in the light bulbs.

Environmental allergies.
The truth is that I am not really depressed, it's just that my neck hurts
and thinking about it makes me blue.
And thinking about my neck hurting gives me a stomach ache
and thinking about my stomach ache keeps me up at night.

I drove my car earlier and told my friend I'd like to do manual labor.
I mean, I think that kind of job is better for a person, anyway, I'd rather work outside
than working behind a computer 'thinking' because
I think a lot already and it does me no good.

I watch t.v. and see that people get paid for their ideas.
I think it feeds an illusion,
because real work gets real results.

Too many people 'reckon' their ideas are worth money,
and I suspect this is the cause for the decline of the dollar.

p.s. money is stupid
p.p.s. i have no fear of financial insecurity

I start a romance by logging on.

Prison

Shot Torment out the Window

Stiffly sitting

unsteady rolling

side to side

and quickly shifting

comprehend

sync

let on...

cross-legged stockings

stalking

phenomenal now silence

smile

frown

be still

I am still yours

' take what you've given me

and try to give it to

them

walk and speak in

body movements

won't you read my mind?

(and isn't speaking easier?)

unless you're like

me

and words come out wrong in wrong order

and accents on

curse words

and I feel UN lady like

cross legged

€My friend says "some women sit like this,"

two fingers: parallel stuck together

"some women sit like this,"

:crosses fingers, index and middle as if for good luck.

"and SOME women sit like this,": forms a V

he wishes me good luck€

like a preacher he says it

and my eyes widen

it wasn't a comment,

rather a command

feminists

turn to prison bitches when in love

I read my cards and they say yes, all the way across

and i stand on the beam

ballet girl

bun girl

lipstick six year old

plea'

right step

center step

left step

center step

Don't get wild

'Be a good little girl and shut your mouth'

My favorite fighting words

As a lullaby

Give me another language because

mine's used up and wasted.

Word Resume Not a Document

Groovy. A word for getting off the train at home.
I grew up in a groovy city.
Take out the hippie connotation, and put in a Motown overtone.

I am a scientist of words.
I know what words mean.
I know about context.
I know when you use the wrong word.
I can x-ray the implications,
dissect the misuse,
and appreciate when you leave out a syllable or two,
and take it as affection.

What I cannot do:
Interpret Silence
Assume

Woofer Wonder Two For Two

Did you find me or are you still looking?

Chasing the rabbit
And when not,
Chasing the fox to the bushes near the flagpole,
the rabbit is being chased by the fox.

Ether chase
For either place

Wolf.
Woofer.
Wonder.

Sleep Pants ON!!!

Thought for sure I would be grown up by now.
Grown up to know better,
but I am a believer.

I will live near the Mediterranean soon enough.

This was a week of gifting. I went a little too far.

It has been a mixture of fruit juices and vitamins, and three different cell phones in one month.
It has been vacuuming and comforters.
It has been laundry and hurricanes and high efficiency light bulbs...
and oil changes.

It has been a fight when I don't want to fight anymore.
Just want to wake up in the morning and laugh.
