Don't let me turn into
another one of these old Biddies
Caged and panting
wobbling around in red stilettos
& too tight leopard print bras
In worse off positions
than when they
were sixteen
WIth bored husbands
staring out windows
wondering what happenedIP: Logged |

Randall, no, i saw that show once though, and thought: 'People actually enjoy watching this?'. Someone I know is obsessed with it. I thought the acting was horrible and then, of course, everything else about it.There's more to the poem, in my mind anyway, but it's probably best left this way. Valus, i'd never heard of him, thanx. That song is certainly fitting as one of the husbands in the poem's Swan Song. thanks charmainec. IP: Logged |

Vic is a true poet of a songwriter.
He has a beautiful underground following.
I think some of his lyrics are in our
favorite lyrics thread, from way back.
That song meant a lot to Lisa (Lia) when
she was going through her divorce.

Betty Lonely
- vic chesnutt
Betty Lonely
Lives in a duplex of stucco
On the north bank of a brackish river
Her ears omit the noise from a nearby airstrip
Her mind floats beyond the snapper boats
Betty lonely
Her eyes are roughly staring
At a point through her sliding glass door
Her heart lives over a drawbridge
Her brain is wet like a thrownet Betty lonely
She will always think in spanish
Though i know
Her spanish black hair will start to fade
She sunk her past
Out in the surrounding salt flats
Her maidenhood was lost
Beneath the spanish moss Betty lonely
Just talks to her grandbaby
Everybody else she blots them out
But her words stick
Like a flounder gig
Her dry laugh is like a gaff IP: Logged |

I'm beginning to think I'll be lucky if that's me in 15 years. It's either that or crazy cat lady at this point. :Z grrr I'm about at the point where I'd sell my soul for sex, massages, and healthy meals cooked by someone other than me. Sunchild said she was eating bananas and grapes so I'll adopt that diet and that might stave off the soul selling for a few weeks.IP: Logged |

bananas, grapes, AND berries I've decided. (and coffee shhhhh) The cat lady thing was a passing "poor me" emotion, I'm over it, T. Just pat my head and smile when I'm not looking when I do that.  No, nevermind, I need the sympathy comment to know someone out there cares if I become the crazy cat lady. Need to know someone will notice I'm gone before the cats begin eating the face off my corpse. Everybody needs that little bit of reassurance, right? (I think stilettos rock though, for the record!!!!! Not that I do the real thing, but close enough is always fun. Luuuuuuv shoes. My thrift store and garage sale "recycling" has my shoe collection looking FAB-UUUUU-LOUS) dark humor... 8th house? IP: Logged |

You're welcome.  I'd probably suck an egg before
I'd watch "Desperate Housewives".. But, then, I have a few
guilty pleasures of my own. For one thing,
I like to suck eggs.
Is that bad?

Hi T,Can you tell me about prepping a canvas for painting sometime? I was recently in an art and framing shop, and I was quite surprised to see they sold art equipment as well. It got me thinking about doing art. Currently, I'm decorating my room, and I think a painting from my own hand might be in order. I looked at the supplies, and had to wonder if it was something I could just jump into, or if that would inevitably be disastrous. IP: Logged |

do it do it do itdont think about it do it do it do it as soon as you feel it do it do it do it get the paints,
get them home,
set it up... don't think don't think go toe to toe
with the canvas look it in the white eye
then paint the eyeball fierce and frenetic
cracked and wet paint the fishbowl
and the forest surrounding paint the minotaurs
pushing up through the earth
with their horns climbing up
from the underworld brushing off the worms shaking themselves out
like clodded roots paint the gremlin
paint the doorframe
see the green you never saw slap it on
thick and sexy run it around slick, greasy, red brush like a tongue
parting the labial paint do it do it do it paint the schoolbus
sailing over the abyss
becoming a paperplane paint the clerk from before the one that smiled queerly
onto the counter give her a feather boa
that winds down down down into the brimstone pits now paint plums
bouncing somewhere do it do it do it dont think about it thinking comes later follow that bird!!!

......................
...........*ahem* Yes... a little bit of what he said
and the rest, I will be happy to help you
out with when I get back home after running some errands. I think that's a fantastic idea AG.
Do you have any subjects of what you'd like to paint
or styles in mind?
Yes! I definitely think it's something you can jump into
and might find you'd like to do it more often!
I hope you'll show us the finished piece too.
Will be back in a few hours!  IP: Logged |
