here i am

Taking a break from the onslaught of midterm examinations and i plug in a random portable harddrive full of music. Cpheader
music that themed random notes in open diary, music that held my hand when i cropped photographs and dug through paints and sketch books, music helped me through thoughts and nights and pull apart drag down fight it out with the hair colour genies of eras past and I can't quite sort why the bass is so loud and refuses to adjust to equalizer requests and i'm left with the last polka pushing a tiny dancer through my zurichian thoughts.
i miss singing in front of a crowd. i miss the piano playing. i think i may go back out west, the east has sucked all it can from me and there are canisters, not labeled, in a back lot somewhere with biohazard warnings that contain all the insides that i insisted go outsides.
in a few moments i'm to feed them feeshes.. the boys all went out to play at the rainbow gathering and i'm left with a house key and flakes for dem feeshes.
i'm sighing now.
thinking about how much it hurts to grow up.



but i'm still fighting it.



scattered parts make chococat and i switch off corporate lampposts and sing along to art history questions..
tomorrow is my first slow pitch game.



i lost my mit.



wish me luck ....x....

green pickle dance inspiration

look left. look right. thumb through coloured pages and hope to find an artist refined. someone to finish the pin pricks on the left side, a secondary cover up; clover felt in nature. no such luck.
i could go, would go, back to ...tim... but that would mean making amends with ghosts and begging for sketchbook reprisals, and i'm not digging that potato today.



just as well i'm going to slug it out all american style, with a ball and a bat and a glove to feel the sun smack me right between the eyelids for a chance, a change, something that doesn't involve breaking and rebreaking my foot on rollerskates.



too much homework. my head is sleepy at two pee em. low caffeine, no caffeine. i'll pedal off to the inlet instead.



magnets make me think, and kitties need a drink...x...

saran wrap vs. hand dryer

Feet propped, grades reviewed from the eighth floor view and it's all eh's from here. wait on roomed service and i'm settling in from a no rental car business trip from beyond. fly in. two hour meeting. fly out. huzzah to the hustle and bustle and flow.



john edwards blows hilary a kiss of death while obama scowls and grows grey hairs. debate debacle vs. my nano kitty and art history. i'm cold. wrapped up in a scarf, in blankets, in socks, in slippers with skulls, but i won't turn the heat on... i don't get this kind of chill down south, i'll trade you a biting for the sun scratch any day...Arkansas_mornings



I understand the corporate laptops now. I can't type without randomly losing the page, and my thoughts keep going back to my too full mailbox and those damnable reminders that i need to lose some file space and wouldn't you know it there's a cob web dancing above my light bulb. it's illuminated only when i light up, pretending there is a choice in the matter really when a secret smile slips in and it's all about those memories, and yeah... i'll embrace a shrink up in the time between and when the green comes will you play footie? will you ride faster? will you look for the birds to come back from the southern climes?



have new colours to paint with to paint on.. to skin slip?



knock knock it says...time for minature bottles and cloth napkins...



i loved the orange and there are koi by the glass elevator..



home away from.. for now..

backup universe

backup universe

long fitted absence of mine.
finding that fitting space between new job, old job, new space, old space, look me up in graceland or shout out from dollywood.
forward
in
time.
there is a pair of black adidas by the guestroom door frame and a box marked with martini & rossi and all i can think is of porco and a studio somewhere in japan. smooth things slip in my head.. too much decaf with no ice, no whip, low fat and gash my stomach hurts with the recent betrayal of lips to greasy cheese laden with "god my liver hates me" so i flow. so i go. so i walk along with the heartbeats of this evenings just in.
too much to go from when the natural spring up and i've all this time to tell you what i really mean. what it is i really think, what it is when it is what it is, and how does this cookie crumble? down in the valley down in the hole, archive of ours hours folded origami style...whispers of something else made from nothing else, pretty paper, pretty memories almost tasting the sky on my skin that night.
thursday night disco comes in so slow, finding paperclips on the memory of your face, side scribbled and not much that is still legible.. that book, that story is somewhere in birmingham, sitting on a shelf with a friend who keeps it all safe when i go missing..
all in all
things are well.
i found my pen.

11.19.2007

leave it all to me, i'll do the right thing.

i don't have much more than that to say these days.

living lyrics, living in lines,
shock me shock me with that deviant behaviour...

up from C

i'm waking up from a grey day induced corporate coma.
comma- separate two like minded half witted thought patterns, still though this thing is stuck on a window sill.

MAGNIFiCATION times twenty seven and all good monkeys go to heaven.

I always hit the stop button on saturn day nights, when the booze comes flowing and the smoke starts smoking and the girls start purring something gutteral between the breast tucks. i've got my own private table next to the stage, fill me up with synth. I'll drink it all in till they tell me i should be blind and goodness me where did the time go? Fell down, not in a gutter- too much trapped in doors for that kind of a shenanigan, fell down in Down. Drown out the pixelated axe chops and my pawns click click bang away the night.

chicken taquitos and an sore thumb.

my car creaks when i turn corners.
my oil needs changing.
i've got a great life staring down the barrell of my gun and all i can do is wish that the clouds would clear up so i could spin the stars and find my lost palm print again.

they say success comes. they say it goes. i don't really know- they want me to move cheese. patent Vee Bee scripts and fuckwitted me didn't cling to the it film when it came round. Now playing in corporate logons and Vee Pee Ends.

Some one kick me.

I need to wake up.

memory slip


thinking on a song, thinking on a dream, thinking on drumbeats soothing and telling me of pride had and left behind.. two twists to the left and i want to kiss my pillow and shuffle through half printed digital hiccups.. sun kisses my fingertips and through the diffused light i feel a day dream slip through my cracks, too bright to look away, too true to do much more than sigh off. somethings don't flow so well when reason and names are brought into the hush along and that's more so than less so and hearbeats repeat in the tropical rain soaked eve...
german wish purrs grace my hear lobs and a mistaken identity turns upbeat even for a moment when pop goes posh and unrecognizable. mostly though i think i've created my own language now. but this is all part of the afterglow of last minute decisions and split second snap offs, when you loose the ace in the hole and trade up for mystery and a chaotic chorus of strangers singing in time with words you never know.. save the universal... oh. yeah.
thought back on.
repeat clicked.
lighting up...
wondering if it takes more than a half blink..
seeing, the search even when i thought..
you've been the only thing that's been right in a life time...
intent
outsides
insides....
playlists.

sleep in a thimble

funny thing this, remembering.
i've had quite the dry spell lately, sketching, colouring, writing, finding inspiration.

and then i read something from far away and not so long ago and the light turned on inside me ed, and within an hour of reading a new star map had been sketched a new course plotted and
red read the inside of my thigh.
tomorrow i've a race to the finish for my team, boost their numbers, close cases, resolve issues in only half a months time. retain, reuse, recycle.
but before i can begin again, i must interview with the big ones. for a big position. the one that recommends me to it. night before preperations, polish the nails, dye the hair, lay out the makeshift suit.. roll l's off my tongue and try my best to relax.
early early. an hour and some change before my normal shift. groggy lucy, fluffy lucy, i'll do something grand for a change..
fortune cookie says, your success will astonish them all.

headlines


it's subreality here.
waking up to find a half read and a photograph of a bike under an explorer.
hands shake as the news comes in that he was a friend.
kareoke with the girls. payday dine outs. michelle's secret cuddle. disney. the tall guy in the superman shirt. saturday i didn't see it. sunday it was tagged along with another article. monday they wouldn't let it go. tuesday came and it whispered along another. most of his friends from work went to the funeral. but i could not leave due to position and meetings set for the day. but wednesday was the worst. a friend had the front page news and was upset that this photo had once again graced its pages. it took up nearly half the sheet of news.
i can't really write about it yet.
there is so much to say, but mostly i think those things will stay in my head, and in the low words spoken over coffee with our group of coworkers and friends that knew him.

the first story can be found here.

juice and the metal cup

i want to write. i really do.
Every time i sit down and start the familiar click clack my stomach jumps up into my throat and makes a mess of my fingertips and I can't focus.
i wish i were more like my sister.
instead i'm more like me, pouring orange juice in an aluminum metal cup, unfinished, metallic taste tanging up the orange. i sip on lukewarm soup wishing this nausea to go away.
i think everyone just makes excuses for me.

i'm tired.
i'm pointless.
and i can't write anymore.

too much past presenting itself in dreams in swirls in match points in "we're all grown up" in it at all. i'm going to curl up, i'm being stood up at the moment, and round eight i'll be made to feel guilty for not going out earlier.

i'll bathe.. read another book, that will be three in this past weekend.. i'll try to sort this muck, and try it all again... tomorrow..

kiss sweet potato hullo

forget that i have more than one jack and oy it's a mess of the eyemake up before too long.

i see saw in a sea chord, hum to a french sigh and half close eyes to a fragment of a ghost memory so much scritched in the back of a small skull, tied back with a pink bow. what is the matter, gray and orange run down legs, run over lips, run down the drain, last year has patterns. this year has paints. next year will have designs for toe stepping and heel digging- or so says the girl in the green chair.. do we sit and spin? classes again paid for and a rewind to the finger painted walls, the wires bent over leaf clippings and found postcards, i don't make it home for sunset any more, i don't make it for the stretch out and the leaf shadow show. i used to imagine celluloid recorded my every think my every muscle tighten golden moment, serious looks peaceful, and wouldn't it be nice to have that aesthetic appreciated... lofty goals for a girl with a broken foot. kiss away the napalm,

step out into the street lamp show crossing, a dog takes to the sidewalk and taps out nail clips on the pedway..close eyes, fell the brush bye bye bye, and inhale, the fantasy dances on the tip of my nose, gentle touches, yearning glances, sensitivity to light...

burrow backwards my dear, it's never over in october, one year. one year. one fear. amazing how i get stuck in the detail and older than expected but younger in my head than the collar round my wrist thinks. who knows what i kicked off when i stepped in it last go. don't regret. don't want to waste a minute more dear. open eyes and i expect dilation, but that doesn't happen when there is a lack of understanding and she slips me a sly look and i wonder what i can think of next.. things snap in the heat, pressure causes sound links to smash audio links and every cut out tells me something of what i know about star collapse an inner space, stickies of doom my cat calls out from the room next to her universe of empty space, dig up love there's something in your ear,

sounds like a porch swing wave me down trip me out, kiss my cheek and turn round about. i told you it went all mono, and i thought nucleus and you thought me crazy how could we think past nine forty five and a few seconds, plastic cups, yellow lights and tea. sugar. cream. cram. would the silence permeate the space between the green tiles and plastic mats..stare at chipped nails triangling the cup this morning stretches out ... diffuse glow... reflection of the imagined fading white fill in and fly away my dear, before too long i'll realize that the timer wasn't set properly and that photograph of my arm is closest to my face, buried in a box someplace across the sea. garden in. duestchland. november fifteenth. dreams tell me to watch the sun rise, hearts tell me to beat with each second and succumb to the lightness of batik woven floormats and the unforgiving kiss of too much bass line. and i can't think for a moment, the seconds seem eternities with each tap tap tap something changes, something cringes, and short me out i can't feel the flow with six minutes and forty eight to go. unbearable. un beable. un seeable. stop. flicker. flutter. rewind. type gently shashhap shashatap.. unexpected.. violins run to violets rush to violence and back down again, bitter seed stuck in my throat. always that photograph of a goat, never understood the unearth, the comeback the great disaster that is my head. probe probe. probe. contact handling, process....it won't let go
dis own ance

good morning tartshine. brew it up and tap it out the days of the week and how much do we want the sundays how much do we want this cast off, how much do i want to pay for the five dollar newspaper, go ow i wan a drive. clutch up. bear down. roll up. and feel the rock spin shoot sand at never high speeds but low lost lives.mymymymymymy i want to kiss fingers that aren't my own. cover them in rain and i want to cup it. cuff it.. a rest in my development who knew?

step one two, step one two. how many times can i twirl my self around the room before realizing that sometimes it is ok to settle... fathom that cat? i imagine my wedding day will be full of dried flowers. browns outlined on a skyline. no one would be there right mindedly so.

kiss my cheeks love, bind me off. seek purchase in my heartflesh. what have i become? i can barely make it through the door for extra appendages. *sigh* *sputter* *sin* old things singing new. older catching young... adoring old..making the toes bend back towards rainbows and ten year old wishes...want to go back..

hear the seashore climbing close. feel the moonshine falling far.. smell train tracks wishing for tomorrow to scrub the rust from rails and wooden planks cry for a reason to stay. high eight runs out of batteries.. lost my art in my back pocket when i took away my camera for the first time in years. shutter click
click
click
black. click.white.click. don't stop the curve backwards holds impressionism to high degree and the sing along factor baffles the cool kids stealing staplers and songs from the eighties without knowing about long love and sunlight.everyone wants a piece of my somethings started in the garden. i just want to sit for a moment, remember what tea was to enjoy. speak in tongues with a neighbor an hear bells ring on the hour of escalation...wonders never cease in my blue eyed green rimmed rough house hope chest. don't correct me if i am wrong
for it is all about the smooth sound
of
black.

piffle in a poptart, songs go like:
carla bruni- la ciel dans une chambre
slowdive- here she comes
snow patrol-warmer climate
mono- yearning
beta band- human being
jenny lewis-melt your heart
johnny cash- hurt
death cab for cutie- lack of colour
massive attack- teardrop
ken nordine- black.

aching dogs

i am so tired.
i can't speak for the yelling.
i can't move for the standing.
i can't breathe for the inhaling of smoke.

i am so exhausted.
i can't stop smiling for the bout
i can't stop thinking for the adrenaline
i can't wait to get my skates back on.

more tomorrow
for now i'm not even folding out my futon, i'm passing out.. i've finished my water and wowowowowow.

everyone needs to come see us play.

crash coursed


one hundred words
signed up for,
can't start for.....30 days. *sigh*

i've a cut lip and a bum hip and a plot is afoot regarding the red stapler that sits upon my terminal bliss.. ransom notes were left with a stapled "help me" and i'm going to have to enlist the help of uncle jesse and cool kids dont steal staplers

i'll form a coup.
i'll giggle because i most likely started it all, and there is nothing the fluffy bunny can do to stop me. oh so tired, oh so quiet.. i need to stop this late night ramble.. instead i'll just leave the world with a smile, wink and a nod...
land of?
sweet dreams lass...

velvet candy

i'm wrestling with it, ringu, ring virus, the ring, ringringring, hulllooooo? accidentally called a grudge by the wrong name and can't text to finish it... in a cold bath in a hot bath, smelling of pine and lavendar, boiled up teapot style to combat the bipolar water heater. all the wires are connected and going forthe i just have to clicka clicka click a button and good lawd how i miss my aqua teen hunger force.

cat calls, cat bawls, cat finds wasy s into drawers that have no place in space or time, and i notice i shoud be sleeping cause it is getting late, but instead i'm here thinking thoughts of book notes, love lines, and oh the commercials they come on and they've the kitty sounds all wrong.. it was more of a ahhhhhh back to the praguian heater (i'm seeing a theme song here) and a rewreow hisss... whatever happened to those cold days. i need cold days.
ice cubes anyone,
i'll trade for some day old gum and macaroni,
but only if the moon comes out,
she's gone off in
hide ing.

tick toppled

this is all a waiting game.
one hour until i find out if the confines of das uber boot can forever been shuffled trunkwards and outside.
it is still tender though, which causes concern.
i didn't paint my toenails, which causes concern.
my mum hasn't picked me up yet, which causes concern.
my stomach is flopping and flipping, which concern caused.

brightside = a room of redpurpleblackish walls is almost done, and i have something happy on the way:something for reflection and a velour pouch, flip open and shine on crazy diamonds..
toodle pip and a hard kick i need a cup of coffee.

killing time

both fists raised to the bar, tucking stolen cigarettes in sleeves, wrapping lips around cold calm collected bottles of post partum depression... how much can pass in the dark light of a southern drawl between country's greatest hits..

i say it one last time for you, then we really have to go...

a boy walks in to a bar with a backpack and a guitar slapped on his back, stop me if you've heard this one before.... we clap along... we bounce to rhythms we don't know.. i file words away to the back of my brain to save for the late night tea sips and pen marks.. come in late, round two ae em, hope for a late night glimmer of hope, dreamt a bout a funeral pyre last night and i couldn't stop thinking about how my u keeps sticking... i brush up my teeth after sinking into labourous sleep.. my sheets are stale with hurt, smoke stains, and skin sweat out alcohol...i've black marks on my arm, ash in sleep mascara in light...

i will let you down, i will make you hurt..

i wash it all off in oranges and cover white dew with flowers from her childhood.. i listen to johnny cash sing what have i become, my sweetest friend i repeat. repeat. repeat. repent.

When you are kissing someone who is too much like you it's like kissing on a mirror, when you're sleeping with someone who doesn't get you, you're going to hate yourself in the morning...

I can't get songs out of my head

frozen, sweetie pie

i know i should turn it off.
i'm not even looking at it.
the volume is turned to nothing because I'm finding myself  watching more sounds from my childhood on youtube than anything else.. the air is heavy still, there was a false start into fall last night, tempratures grazing 90 and steadily held on as the humidity dipped and the wind kicked me into a patio chair with pursed lips and a sugar spice inhale. i sank in with a hot cuppa- sweat keept my white stark skin glowing in the citronella light.. i picked up a pen and sketched on one knee and thought that the rain coming down in half steps meant that summer was finally over...
walk back in, cause dark calls friends away, always away, and i don't want to go through these thoughts with out a smile wink and nod of knowing what i'm like when i do that thing i do, these sweet stickly lips half grin into a shared inside joke with my own id. ed. dead. time for a shake of a brush off and a tuck away and i'll lie awake thinking of what is on the other side of the window.
we walk away and turn around three times, tuck tails between legs and  make excuses for why six months to a year to maybe more it is ok to be silent, because when we are not.. it means something.  i ask to sleep in late to dream in black and white to scramble brains and eggs in a hot pan pillow and maybe something will change..
i could take a pill.
i could find another thrill,
but then i'd not wake up to the musings of a banana spider sucking on my left toe.  shifty, lessly, lucy, rushi, ruu.. something about newspaper tucked under a pg tip makes me think back to thoughts of a Luluu
different colour, scent error.. nag champa that i can't burn less i'm alone in the apple tree.. this tightens. this binds, this is a kind of corset for  a reset button refrain, killer klowns from outer space lurk in my queue and i've tomorrow off..
it really is too bad that i can't shake this sleep....
so instead i'll sew a felt bunny
i'll write out half a name,
i'll make soap that smells like me, to keep things consistant.. diet cola,
giagantor says:
i knead a cola...

tap pad burn out

p>so i slip away sometimes, to know where that special space between absence and existance where flowers bloom in mid morning rain.  i clicked out over and away. i waited a week and repeated my pattern, i skipped to beats i forgot, i hummed to playlists i didn't want, shuhhshhsshhh... he says and wants to give me a fix.
Dsc01588
i don't drink in the night air..
i want a fag, hand rolled by the boys in the pub... give me an owl dressed in tile and i'll show you a vinyl candleabra ready for a wall sticking.  fuck. it stuck



happened with a foot crack slap me right on my keister, fuckall'd and benched.  didn't even make it through the prelims cause das uber boot  has me walking stiff and un skated.  dahsn't matter though, i'll pick it back up, i feel the sunset as you know and watch as my status change hits a cloroform high note and trickles back into nothing. 



if i'm to be naughty, tonight is the night. shining armour and armoir and good lord that was a nice kick.  can't go central like, but they're thinking bout shipping me out to memphis.  i like that idea... cause then it will be easier to break my heart.  till then i'll play a list of milky way obsession and finger the catastrophic rain fall, cross my eyes, kiss the ground the snake slithered on and hope for a toodlepiphardkick from who ever holds on tight enough to snap crackle and pop me a new one.  new line.
sin a muh.
