Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

littered with fools caught in a cul de sac whirlwind
solar panels free icecream three little bears knawing the wire like puppies
Wiillie did it
he got the coin
he got the wind tunnel cornered like a soaring plastic bag
must have blown down from Williamson County
Green Austin don't have no plastic ...

every silence sounds like "no"

unfired clay left in rain
my limbs soften, misshapen
razor is pointless
it slides right through

don't go back to Rockville
years wasted test tasted
your fingers carry my scent
your lips my taste
someone forgot the wedge
someone forgot the wax
statues thick coated go ahead and touch
Jenny Jenny the sooner you learn this the better
he gets you high to get himself higher
hanging on your ankle is ...

roots have grown all the way to the
tips
box-free since two thousand six
Ms Clairol stands
naked hip on hand
tongues around the bubble gum
girdle free since two thousand three
what you get it what you see
the mark the stretch the oh yes
god the stretch
you want to put that
where?
ring of fire ...

prepare yourself for deflated expectations
I spurt out a Gossamer Wing and
three endless souls and throw in a
scream and a hair pull and
wait
what else do I hate
"sated" yes

the drama the breath the
grandmother death
the genuflect
the love and the bond and the holding
of the wand

it this
so ...

do secrets breed serenity? I suppose if you are keeping secrets then someone shared them-- or are the secrets our own?

tossed rock hears a pop
we find the vein
14 hour bloodfast
and still no sign of you
no god no myth just man
want to feel my constriction
you need to come inside

suddenly
nothing is enough
my
words
turn
into
sentences
from
a
free magazine on the doorstep
WAit
Did I forget to say Fuck?

we untie the arts
baby Garrison takes us to the morning
ten days on the road
I miss you
and your knot tail tangle
and your cereal in the bowl
no we never had cereal in bowls
handfulls straight from the box
I had to ask
you never offered I always had to ask
never with a "baby"in the language
you did ...

nothing's the same now that Leo's gone
sunset pajamas,
crochet throw
variagated yarn fades from pink
to blue to yellow again
gender gender put it in neutral
or was it knit? hooks and needles
Leo never liked acrylic
lying with the lambs
makes one go soft

it always comes down to
my legs up the wall
your head turned
its the slow burn semantics!
soft boil and salted
we waltz around the topic
its a slow day at the turnstile
show me show me show
me the way back to you
3 clicks south by southwest
turn up the pump,
bed's already broken

something in this riff makes me beg to differ
no she didn't no he didnt
didn't you see the timber trail
put it on the stove put it on the stove
put it on the stove ma
the kettle is cracked the tinder is stacked
its time for the reckoning
egg white stiff we peak and carmelize
whipped sugar sweet ...

no scrubs no hosers no
pennyback poseurs the question is
do you want to make that devil grin
or scowl think about it now a one
and a two and dancing down to Georgia
broomstick in hand
slick willie sticks it to her from behind
the stage door left
stage door right pardon me Sir
may I have another ...

where?
I have told you a thousand times
it is IN the couch
the change the spring the board
the time we lied the time we laid
the time you pillow shouldered our favorite show
fingers sliding elastic fingers
sliding warm cotton
blanket fringe tickle

mother found them
seven dead kittens behind nanas ...

Yesterday was
originally scrambled eggs
with a joint in the yoke
it was a satire, a joke I never understood
Norwegian wood until I slept in her bath
called to breakfast
funeral fried french toast the cuffs
straight the collar pressed organ wails a 70's tribute
but still we circle the damn ...

thanx katydid, ...and welcome to S8....nice to hear some new voices

Thanks for the welcome! I am rusted but if I find the grease will ease my way into the scene.

I used to live in Baltimore- just north of the city line actually. I miss the water and the closeness of things. I don't particularly ...
