in a few hours

in a few hours you'll see
that I am death
and you have brought me

in a few hours you'll know
that I am time
and I am no more

in a few hours blood will drip
not from the heart
but from the wrists

in a few hours they'll cry
but not a tear will fall
from your fucking eyes

in a few hours you'll give up
and I'll thank God
that I wasn't enough

in a few hours you'll call
I'll answer the phone
and tell you to fuck off
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    I like your little 5-4=unity kick on the bottom there, in your sig.

    However, I might say that it seems a tad off to me. No single individual is united in and of themselves by anything other than their skin. Were they to actually unite with anything in their environment of any given importance, they should have to go nova. A collapsing star, for one final moment I think, finally understands exactly what it is and what it is for... just before it unites so completely within itself it attracts the rest of the universe to all ends, regardless of creed, mass, substance. It could be stated that singular unity could be the highest abstract expression of egocentrism there can be.

    Or it could merely be the painter who licks his paintbrush, the tumeric tempura textured tongue.

    yeah it could be that.


    This sad and angry poem needs to be kissed goodnight just once and perhaps the wounds would begin to heal and there would be no need to sew up wrists after the phone is hung up... and there would be no need to repaint the walls after a deed is done.

    Dying on paper. It's the only way to live.

  • Drops bottle of red wine all over trousers at that one. Pavement? They didn't write that, did they?;) :D
    Only joking. Drank the wine last night. Where's that song from, then?

    don't care. I stand by what I said regardless.

    Pavement, take notice.

    dear GOD, as in DIOS MIO finsy, please, if you're going to pick on me at this time of night, pass the g'd'm wine.

    then we may remain friends for it.

    and Kwyjibo, I meant no offense, which I think SHOULD be clear, but I wanted it known.

    And now I will stop sullying your thread.

    WHERE'S THE FACKIN WINE

  • A few hours ago

    I was writing an essay
    about descriptive bibliography's contribution
    to the understanding
    of the physical semiotics of the book
    in conveying the social codificatory process
    of the text

    and now

    I am handing seta
    virtual wine

    :)
  • It's a warm day out there! The sun's shining down on the cherry trees! And I've got today off! I might go for a walk down to Grantchester Meadows. See if I can get a poem out of it.

    :)

    liked "In a few hours"
    a very angry angry poem
    even if it felt like controlled&supressed anger - the kind that scares you the most
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?
