    she said: show me something graceful and fluid


    nothing in neon or those horrible '80s colours
    and nothing heavy-metal hard...
    something lounge music and soft as eyelashes

    show me something substantial, that'll last...
    that'll still be fashionable come fall


    show me something with addiction, something
    heroin chic or nicotine stained or
    d.t. marvellous and awed...

    something with a step program and a bad rep
    something with plush costumes and a good view
    something more interesting than slot-machine mania

    show me something that will ease...

    so i won't do the same to this one.

    but, i love it. it's babble, and it's glorious.

    it's completely synaesthetic and it works.

    Another good one. The one thing i would change is this line:
    something lounge music and soft as eyelashes

    You have the two styles of simile that kinda clash to me. I'd simply break the line thus:
    something lounge music
    soft as eyelashes
