    Stay on or go all the way
    The walls are closing in
    Flesh is getting soft

    Weaker by the minute or stronger by the fall
    To paraphrase Homer:
    whisky drinks, vodka drinks, peeing in sinks

    stench of eyes, they no longer see me
    Mortal terror horrifies judgment
    They are my friends.

    Involution revolution spurs
    climacteric attack:
    take me far from the hospital

    whipped cream petals
    upon which, after all,
    a little rain should fall

    the obeisant gardenia
    could’ve been a rose
    Instead it went for itself

    Anabiosis. However,
    memento mori:
    (Remember, you must die)

    euthenics euthanize euphemisms:
    a needle and the collateral damage done
    lovers, fighters, planomaniacs, sing and run…

    Chill chillum me
    Chill chillum me
    Chill chill, I'm free

    felt this irratic fun-shine as of drifting down a river of paradox in a triangular innertube :)

    I luuuurved this part....especially the second to last line "memento mori" made me giggle for personal reasons. And whipped dream petals stanza is funky!

    I've come back several times as I'm using some of the words I looked up. :) I don't know why everyone's so happy, it seemed damned depressing to me. Maybe I relate to closely? heh... anabiosis indeed. Very good work. It's worth the coming back.

    As tiny as it may be, the needle has its own orifice. Isn't it funny, this telescopic interplay between all the counterparts, that all differentiation of perception amounts to the same, you? And yet the changing never ceases...


    much love :)

    simple but true, ‘tis good, that change, embrace it too. Aye, matey.

    oh, Aditi, I have this boat, well, a canoe, on which I gently, merrily navigate a dream, a wide blue stream, and if you care for a ride sometime by all means hop aboard… you can be captain. I will bring the worms and rods if you bring the sandwiches and music. Maybe we'll catch an Oxyrhynchus, which we'll give to Osiris.
    cheers!

    ignoratio elenchi


    happy drinks
    red lips
    wet with delight
    full of dicacity
    lights pink pulp
    lemonade
    like an x-ray
    shooting through me
    you know what I am
    eating Fiona’s apple
    watching me
    not your leaders
    don’t have much
    to say not much to do
    hope I don’t choke
    between the poles
    worrying ‘bout tomorrow’s
    hangover payments
    ‘til ’06
    denied bin laden
    and lindsay lohan
    procreation the nation
    of crude oil
    at an all time high
    kerri jeri and jaime’s
    vpl (visible panty line)
    time to upgrade
    18 years to do everything
    all over again
    in 6 months
    next generation
    never learning
    turning over
    sports cars
    roll over SUV rays
    radiant skin
    Starts Friday @
    selected theatres
    computers
    free shipping
    home equity loans
    online degrees
    user fees
    hand-soap burns
    my plasma eyes
    on the wall
    fall on the fairest
    of them all makes sense
    not money 15% off
    weight management
    searching for people
    dying and winning
    save your game
    loser
    please don’t
    turn off
    your xbox
    con soul
    for sale
    funny and smart
    hard bodies
    chemically clean
    naturally dirty
    don’t eat fish
    don’t drink
    the water
    tastes like sugar
    sweet women
    beach volley
    my balls
    after all
    I want
    to make
    a mistake
    I Want
    To Make
    a Mistake
    I WANT
    TO MAKE
    A MISTAKE
