E has an unfortunate tendency to be very clingy and possessive of my attention. After a time, we both get completely overwhelmed with each others' company and need some time apart. Tonight we reached that point. The irony is that while I quickly recognize a very basic need to not spend every waking moment interacting, she doesn't fully understand it for herself until we reach...

At evenings end
exaggerations
caricature

remain when all else
has long passed away

Conversation competition
cleverest victory can
circumvent the social hierarchy

Yet, age and experience
trumps youths insecurity

Humor
the wild card

The catalyst
for social mobility

Older party-goers
establish the rules

Remember similar
defeats

Inadvertent misinterpretation

One gets used to tornadoes here. Usually they follow incredibly, sometimes depressingly similar paths. Certain parts of the Metro area get routinely slammed over and over and over again and for some reason these places always are peopled by poor white people. Such people stubbornly rebuild homes, schools, businesses, and purchase new mobile homes, only to find them destroyed again within a year or two....

Don't take yourself too seriously
There are precious few things
worth hating nowadays,

And none of them are me

I was only trying to say
how things used to be

'til we grew up and
we all went our separate ways

Looking for our own paths to immortality

This is how I thought
I'd start my song

And it seems a little silly
when I...

I've noticed a few people on my blogroll who have remained mostly silent or at least severely subdued since Obama took office. Though it is nice to not have a daily reason to express righteous indignation (i.e. eight years of the Bush Administration) it appears to me, at least, that that awful time in our recent past made it all too easy for some to...

I've dreamed up some folk-song lyrics for lefties:
(strum a guitar and sing)
strum

When humankind is truly free/
everyone will agree with me.

(Beautiful!)

Brother, you can come around our commune and eat our food anytime you want to. Keep feeding each other, children!

Except then everyone complains

"I only eat organic WILD rice!"

"This is organic WHITE rice"

*continues singing*

"Everyone will believe...

Yes, I'm a firm believer in 'empathic free will'.....your freedom to punch me in the face stops where my nose starts.

As Gerald Scarfe wrote of the 'liberation' of Grenada: 'The peacemakers are coming! RUN!!!'

Now, if you're after some great left-wing folk songs, I suggest you check out Roy Bailey on YouTube. He's been in the business fifty years, singing about levellers, conscientious objectors and so on. Makes you proud.

And if that fails, a quick round of Billy Bragg's 'There is Power in the Union' always makes you feel better.

I don't have to tell you fellow cyberspace users out there that the internet often brings out the worst in people. Or, as a good friend of mine often says, the internet magnifies douchitude. So the times when it brings out the absolute best in people remind me of the whole reason why we spend the time online to reach out to people we will...

Elm / Sylvia Plath

I know the bottom, she says. I know it with my great tap root;
It is what you fear.
I do not fear it: I have been there.

Is it the sea you hear in me,
Its dissatisfactions?
Or the voice of nothing, that was you madness?

Love is a shadow.
How you lie and cry after it.
Listen: these are...
