yo yo sinistah kids, one and all. i'm supremely fecking jealous of y'all that went to ATP, especially the ones who witnessed a shirtless struan Doing His Thang (cuz lord knows it doesn't sound like any of y'all watched the bands, just played soccer all day, sheesh). i hear that erica nursed the ginger-haired one's wound... well, she saw it up close and personal anyway, even with her sunglasses up on her head and not doing her a bit of good. damn this isn't making sense. if anyone makes fun of winter wooskie they're gonna have ME to deal with, okay?? i'll open up a can of whoop-ass on ya, so don't even try it. miss julie, glamourous cybergal that she is, posted her first post. of course she threw that stupid parrot at will, who proceeded to toss it at me, and since it IS monday, i will let it speak its turn: ___________________________________________ S U N S E T, by Louise Gluck (which should have two little dots over the u) My great happiness is the sound your voice makes calling to me even in despair; my sorrow that I cannot answer you in speech you accept as mine. You have no faith in your own language. So you invest authority in signs you cannot read with any accuracy. And yet your voice reaches me always. And I answer constantly, my anger passing as winter passes. My tenderness should be apparent to you in the breeze of the summer evening and in the words that become your own response. _______________________________________ right, and it seems that somehow the stupid bird got delayed, in a weird time zone screw-up or something, and so he's like, floating around in more than one place, but i insist that this is the Real Poetry Parrot, and i heretoforth toss him at.... erm, lesley jo, because i can never get enough of her dyke skeelz. awww, yeeeah. well. i remain one of the ign'ant masses who hasn't heard "legal man" yet. right now i'm contenting myself with leonard cohen, who is the supreme master songwriter. er, after stuart m., natch. by the way, mad props Have to go out to sam a.k.a. Brand New Shoes (or popstart for you brave #sinisterites) because he hosted me and my grrrl KIMberly when we ventured down to pittsburgh last week to see the ever-lovely cat power, and he was a Damn fine gentleman. he's not really new, but be nice to him anyway. also massive props to LauraLlew for knowing who the flashgirls are and for her well-deserved affection for dorothy parker. milkmaids unite! *ahem* why are you all Looking at me funny??? stop it! sheesh. xo, ree ===== *********************************************************** "to me she was just marie." -mersault "hearts don't break/ the division is innate" -secret stars | eliam@alleg.edu | littlearsonist@yahoo.com | *********************************************************** __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
