It's that time! Did you do them?

We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets." ~Erwin N. Griswold

You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies _ 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.' "

Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a plain man tied up in life

Imagine the sand
Running out as he struts
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife

Imagine a road
So long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began

Imagine a load
So large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant

Then you will see...

Originally written for Ladybird

Ms. Cigarette saw me first. I was no more than seven years old and was camping with my family (very in vogue in the midwest at that time to own a camper). There was a rec hall at the campground, where teenagers would go to play pinball, shoot pool, dial up the jukebox, and, of course smoke.

"You're a little too...

Once we ran and lived as one
In another world, my little one
Where whispering trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you
Now outside the streets are gray
And the childhood games we played
Have faded away

My baby, she has restless nights
My baby, she has restless nights

On late-night movie screens
Young lovers look so sure
Lost in wide-wake...

How do you leave them when they are sucking you dry?

In my case, I am bipolar, and he makes me feel more manic, because the things we do together, he basically removes me from my life for awhile and I do everything I'm not supposed to for a night, a day, a weekend, hours...enough to set me off into a bad place again after I'm left to return to my "normal" life, and enough to push me into a depressive state.

He is the bad. I am the good. Together, we are the ying and yang. Once he said, "You are my conscience."

Once he said "YOU are the Madonna..."

Once he was so drunk as I laid there beside him he start to ramble incoherently and then his words became clear..."I do deserve her, I DO deserve her, I deserve her, I'm ok..." and my heart broke a little for him, because he would be good for me if he could.

But he can't. It's just who he is. And he can't change for the only girl he loves. So he has to let her go, knowing she will be able to have many other loves, whereas he might never feel that way again. Or who knows.

Same Night. Ready to mail the thing the next day. Heading for bed and I check my phone. Two messages from him, asking me to come stay the night.

Do I go?

Yes. I can tell him face-to-face.

But of course, that's not what happened. He doesn't see the package, although I brought it with me. I confessed I came to end it.

Instead, I spend two days at his place. Disappear from my life in our little limbo, where our relationship is touch and go depending on moods and we don't really deal with the realities of the outside world.

Eat, sleep, fuck, smoke. And when we are both on the same wave length it's like magic. I'm high. Elated. He's like a drug I just can't quit. I just keep going back and back and I just can't quit him, even when he's doing damage to my health.

I am so weak. So, so weak. Everything in my body screams "This is so wrong, this isn't what you are supposed to do" but somehow the tiniest one that says, "Do it" becomes the strongest and then it's done.

My parents were worried sick. I returned home to regular life and school like nothing ever happened. Two nights and a day.

Why he even could handle me for two days, I don't know. It could be a while before I see him again, this may be what it means. I never really know what I do or don't do wrong. But then, We both ineveitably know we will see each other again.

We'll both get our fix again.

Two weeks, three weeks, four weeks of distance and then a crazy collision of spirits for what seems a brief moment. And gone again.

Gotta stop it, obviously.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every...

For Benni

She is playing like a child
And penance is the play,
Fantastical and wild
Because the end of day
Shows her that someone soon
Will come from the house, and say
Though play is but half done
"Come in and leave the play.'

- William Butler Yeats

Two weekends ago I was in San Francisco and saw a band called Wonderbread 5. They played 80's covers mostly, the real bad kind like Journey and Def Leppard and whatnot, mixed with contemporary crap like 311. They all came out in costumes, presumably to protect their identity but at the same time pleasing the audience (the lead singer, for example, was dressed like Scooby...

My ex-husband and friend started this thing called Dirty Diamond - comedy show based on taking Neil Diamond songs and putting them to filthy lyrics. They actually have a following and are recognized when out in Philly. I guess there is no telling what audiences want.....

Within the last month or so, the city of Portland, OR has come up an inordinate amount of times. Either meeting people from there, or hearing things about the city, or even the fact that SG was born there (I believe)....it's just odd, that's all. I hear so many good things about the place but I've never been there. And now I have a friend...

From the Larry David archive:

"Who has more freedom - the single guy in communist China or the married man in America? I'm guessing the guy in communist China".


I need to get inspired to create more. I have a lot of stories and songs to share but they're just not coming out right. Perhaps I need a muse?
