    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...

    you scribbles have always ended so well. i particularly like this one. 'show me something that will ease' -- it's an incomplete thought that is so perfectly complete.

    i dig the way you use pop-culture/outside references as adjectives instead of cookie-cutter phrases

    but still i'm left with a "what's the point of this" feeling
