I'm wondering why I didn't choose to live someplace warmer, the frigid wind and blowing leaves spin around my head the way the past has been spinnin round my mind lately. Every time I jump a train it always ends up takin me right back here, station master doesn't even try to catch me anymore. I feel like the red queen, only I am runnin...

Ah life, life.
No longer a fish, but a warm blood creature of blood, sweat, dirt and semen. I live, I rise, my Icurrian flight over, my wings of wax at the bottom of the Willamette, the shades of hades dispeled, Charon bribed. My ears ring, "Rise Lazurus!" the blood returns to these cold, decayed limbs. Not the old Icurus am I, no more do...

figmentation:
live
If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.
We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night,...

palindrome:
rough day. Sorry. At least breakfast was good.
rough day. Sorry. At least breakfast was good.
The walls of pride are high and wide
Can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
One look at you and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm twenty miles out of town in Cold irons bound
Can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
One look at you and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm twenty miles out of town in Cold irons bound

How are you? Your pictures even before I became your "friend" inspired in me a picture of the happy couple. Pictures are just pictures? How is the world looking through your lens?
palindrome:
What good am I if I'm like all the rest,
If I just turned away, when I see how you're dressed,
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,
What good am I?
What good am I if I know and don't do,
If I see and don't say, if I look right through you,
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky,
What good am I?
What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep,
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try,
What good am I?
What good am I then to others and me
If I've had every chance and yet still fail to see
If my hands tied must I not wonder within
Who tied them and why and where must I have been
What good am I if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back while you silently die,
What good am I?

Takes rocks and gravel, baby, make a solid road,
Make a solid road.
Takes rocks and gravel, baby, make a solid road,
Make a solid road.
Takes a good woman mama,
To satisfy my weary soul.

Perfection in the biology, perhaps...but that's the end of it for me.
Exhausted...

rest and repose, good.
"I'm decidedly high-brow, and I'm literary; I'm even what the newspapers call a 'thinker'. I suffer from a passion for ideas. Always have, from boyhood onwards. With what results? That I've never been attracted by any woman who wasn't a bitch."

palindrome:
Cute how you use a quote I inadvertently supplied to indirectly insult me. At least, if one relegates "bitch" to the insult category.
palindrome:
I suppose that is pretty intense, given the context.
God, if only I knew where to begin, there are no signs, no markings only the horizon and the emptieness stretched out in front of me. I do not, and could not have chosen differently, happy as I am there are moments when I am afraid, terribly afraid. When there is no one to answer to but yourself, true freedom the price is lonlieness.

Sad eyed lady of the low lands,
where the sad eyed prophets say that no man comes,
my warehouse eyes,
my Arabian drums,
should I leave them by your gate,
or sad eyed lady should I wait

threestares:
wait.
I think it's time to put down the books, I realize that I have insulated myself with literature and philosphy. I thought I was confident, fearless, but now that the last thread of familiarity is slipping away I see that I am afraid, terribly afraid. I have never had to be alone, really alone, solitude was a luxury and like all luxuries when forced it...

does the hill exist? not unless it is screaming and someone hears it and cares enough to ask why.
fukidunno:
What the fuck is base in that context? (I am being lazy by not doing reseach... normally I would, ya know, be all sleuthy and all clever but nah... fuck it.) Time is all I have little of.
Slowly, little by little calm is returning, my job is consuming my more every day. It seems this restaurant's fate is tied to my own, it has been suffering parallel misfortunes. The oly remaining kitchen staff are myself and the executive chef. It is a reminder that we do have control of our own lives, or at least our pereptions and what is an unhappy...
