Lion and Ides

The wind picks up and pitches this bitch, this fucking whore of a small town, from one side of itself to the other. It flies without a word and gets in everyone's hair despite hermetically sealed SUV's and stop lights. It is done. Done and finishished lying on top of itself collecting dust....

Spring in the desert is never half.
It has no idea what the Lamb, or innocence is.
It is all Lion and Ides...

Baby daisy daffodils come up anyway. They aren't afraid. The clouds aren't afraid either. Instead they are quite curious as to what Spring comes up with this time. Remebering the last time she tried to make cosmic and unbending this insignificant swirling of dirt and dust...

It all falls.

The brief rain comes and everyone runs to the carwash, bringing once again to rescue their hermetically sealed SUV's. So when they they hit the stop light, everyone thinks they're decent enough.
It's all yellow.

    Wowzers. Contrast of violence and delicacy.

    You seem angsty, my dear.

    Spring's not here yet.

    Spring in PA is slop.

    She is beautiful! I hope you see and smell and hear and feel and taste all that she has to offer this year! You'll feel like you've just been born and are experiencing life anew, I can almost guarantee it! :)

    Heck! I'm not really talking rebirth! I'm talking BEING BORN because you will be seeing it with a new set of eyes, so to speak. You will be willing to open yourself to it and enjoy it with a fresh mind and a new respect for it!

    I don't think we're reborn, we're always being born into each new experience. :)

    afterbirth... good ness!


    we'd camp with the family, mom would get drunk with the other "ladies", and they'd wax incessant about birth and afterbirth...

    now, to a 14 year old?


    puke fodder :):)

    My one prof in college used to tell us how he'd bring the afterbirth home from the hospital for each of his kids, bury it in the yard, and plant a tree on top of it.

    I'd like to eat them apples!

    Girls are weird.

    Every time I jerk off into the toilet, it goes into the ceptic system, then to the leechign fields, which nourishes the grass and weeds and grubs and trees.

    I think that's sweet too!
