List #6 Things I Suck At
1. Folding big things up so they fit back into small containers. I had a queen-sized air mattress that came in a grocery-store sized bag. When I deflated it, it looked like a dead grey whale. No matter how many times I folded it, it was 17 times too large to fit. I almost threw it off my balcony.
2. Paying attention to anything boring.
3. Letting go of past injustices. I don't fester over them often, but when prompted, I can remember word for word some nasty thing you said to me in 1996.
4. Following recipes exactly. I am relentlessly experimental.

when the wind blows
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
Sank between
pain and loss
Care and curse
regret and forgot
You fear
I try to hold on
Skates of maybe
on a bed of ice
Constant the noise
of yesterday
has never left
today
Another hope
crucified
on this fallen road
Give up
why not
Give up what
exactly
Brutal the days
that force hate
across the naked
desert
raped for power
Beauty used to sing
but now you have made
the song
an epitaph
I do...

Walking on the pieces of me
Little me,
Once innocent and her heart was whole,
Searched high and low
for a place to call
home.
She was alone with her
thoughts,
but they were never
empty.
Like Humpty Dumpty,
She climbed the wall.
She took a chance and
risked it all.
Suddenly she started to
fall.
Years have gone by,
and I'm still trying to
put the pieces back

a land of honey'
The land of honey?
Most Americans I know of are writers and artists
who sees when a crime has been committed
alas, the US government and its politicians are held
in the grasp of the Zionist who has thoroughly
corrupted most of those who carry a big responsibility
for world peace, fail to do so.
I love America, but my love affair with this great land has taken many knocks and led astray by enemies within its border who have, because of US generosity, been able to grab the political power and rule America
to the mire that the Middle East has...

Kitchen broom and wooden spoon .
Everywhere
Paolo Nutini . My words about that and i have a few .
I play this song to death and man I can even play the guitar 🎸. My broom and my fingers sure can make a mighty tune . If I wasn’t strange ( which I hate ) . Well I wouldn’t be ten steps behind and held a prisoner or thinking where it’s going to go all wrong . I mean I have paid my vat in being the one used but this track kills me as it reminds me of living. You suddenly join the dots well you mind does the maths and you realise just coz your a bit broken it doesn’t mean that you can’t fall in love (but )...

Golden Harley
You wanted a better mousetrap so they flooded the market with automatic weapons so that Homer could think of himself as a hero. You can go to Home Depot where there is a wide selection of chainsaw toys that can be used to mow down the apple tree that took a zillion years to grow. You can gripe and pout about the weather, but not hesitate about buying water in a plastic bottle. If you think a hamburger is worth eight dollars you need your ass kicked. You can watch porn on TV from home as your ignorant son is getting his tattoo on. You can preach antisemitism, not knowing that the Son of God is...

girly girl 101...fail
I feel like there was a rule we were supposed to learn...
...maybe in school...
...on how to be a "proper" girl
I don't know what year it would have been but I missed it
that thing of not being heard...
...only ever seen
...even then only fully made up & artfully dressed
the war paint face, I reckon
again...yeah...I didn't get it
and that lesson in the art of flirting
...empty...giggly...vapid
nope, not me
I was the one with a mouth...
never trying to stand out...
...it just happened...
in the way that...

Deku
I live my life by disguise
soothing my demons with lullabies
I'd apologize, but my mouth is dry
I need you to hate me for leaving this time
we relate in a celestial place
I can't watch the tears run down your face
I won't let you watch him fill the space
that I know you'd give anything to take
your darkness is shrouded with innocence
the monster bound and buried within
if I stay the knot will loosen and unravel
don't follow me; you will find another friend
you are a hero that I don't deserve,

Mosaic Love
I want to love you
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,
Celebrate the scars left
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,

The Gray
I think about the things that we used to be
drifting away through the stars; just a memory
they're never far, but I'll never feel him close to me
I revisit the ruined corridors of my mind
and weep for the love lost between the cracks
I assisted in the poisoning of our innocence
crushed beneath the weight of my own sin
pulled to the sound of my children's laughter
I cry on the floor of an abandoned nursery
the face of blame has found a place upon me
waiting until the smoldering embers had died
when I am all that remains...

My Greenhouse
You and I winter and summer time an icy serenade tinged with cold veneers and air expelled from my toothy grin . You take my mitten clad hands in yours and ignite my pilot light . My flame is burning within as your heart is built with a gas line that is sufficient with a warmth that defies the polar front . I really can’t believe you are my comfort blanket without a utility charge . It’s truly is a gift you in the ways you nurture summer rays radiating with words that turn my thermostat up I melt as I clamber in to your aesthetically made greenhouse . Where everything grows and matures...

I wish you okay
I wish you days of it could have been better
I wish you food that never quite hits the right spot
I wish for slightly flat pop even though you just opened it
I wish that you have nothing but small car problems
I wish you slightly sticky and warm work out equipment
I wish you lovers that you can't ever truly satisfy
I wish you kisses that never feel as good as mine
I wish you moments where I haunt your dreams
I wish that when you think of me... You're not okay
I wish you food that never quite hits the right spot
I wish for slightly flat pop even though you just opened it
I wish that you have nothing but small car problems
I wish you slightly sticky and warm work out equipment
I wish you lovers that you can't ever truly satisfy
I wish you kisses that never feel as good as mine
I wish you moments where I haunt your dreams
I wish that when you think of me... You're not okay
