Six Ways to Kill a Man
There are many cumbersome ways to kill a man:
you can make him carry a plank of wood
to the top of a hill and nail him to it. To do this
properly you require a crowd of people
wearing sandals, a cock that crows, a cloak
to dissect, a sponge, some vinegar and one
man to hammer the...

pennies from heaven

It's Father's Day, so I am observing the holiday by leaving my father alone.
Still processing the events of Friday. Andy and I went over to Purvis' ultra-trendy loft apartment. He pays a ridiculously low rent payment a month because no one wants to live downtown anymore. As far as safety is concerned, it's right across...

I write like this when I'm high. That piecy kind of poetry that doesn't really make too much sense to people who weren't really there. But I love it. It always seems to have more personal meaning that way.
AND I feel twice as special knowing what each line means as the inside-reader=)

And by the way...that last line is perfect. I love the double meaning of interupting actual conversation and interupting a moment. Beautiful. I live for those kinds of subtle inferences. It's what makes me love words so very very much...props to you, poet man=)
And btw, I have a poem in response to this...but you'll have to ask me for it. Because I'm feeling fiesty. That's why.

Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference
Between a father and a lover

Men
They hail you as their morning star
Because you are the way you are.
If you return the sentiment,
They'll try to make you different;
And once they have you, safe and sound,
They want to change you all around.
Your moods and ways they put a curse on;
They'd make of you another person.
They cannot let you go your gait;
They influence...

K was looking at power tools online.
"My, you are a dyke", I said.
She laughed.
I could just imagine life with her as a girlfriend. Or should I say, boyfriend. I'd be the woman, off to the mall to get my nails done, while she worked at the table saw. *BRRRRRRR*
We used to go shopping at Layne Bryant together, or as she called...
