Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

he came over last night
he took a shower and asked me to put medicine on his wounds on his back-he was my third husbands best friend- i had not seen him in the light much- he had a hip replacement- that would be three, they screwed up one of them. he wants to surf-bad...i could see
i gave him vitamins, he said it made his kidneys stop hurting, i gave him a foot rub,put sauve and bandaids on his wounds=but the buck had to stop there-couldnt do it - something stopped me
i said " im a little edgy" not a good nite
i lied
i could see
the road does get narrower
lying is a polite way of saying never gonna happen

It’s tough to be our neighbors when the boys
are who we are, I bet. And that’s my guess
because I see the ways we treat you, less
like pals than possibilities or toys
for us to play with— and if it annoys
you, know that’s our encouragement to bless
you with a double-portion of our messiest
behavior. Yes, we’re petty boys.
Except we’re pretty too, we boys— and that’s
what makes us complicated, right?— it’s true.
Berets for baseball caps for cowboy hats:
we swap them back-and-forth for what we truly
think you want from us— and romance rats
us out as fragile seekers, just like you.

yes it is so true- yet your delicate description of biology, somatic vibrations is perfect...

a top notch poem.

thanx guys, but how do you do the next right thing when your mindis telling you "u can do this you are a big girl now"
and really it is more like my adult-who i became- finally has a parent- and the child within me- has been having tantrums all morning- i finally had to tell her to shut up-did you know about the book "slut" it is a book written by a woman that put ads in the newspaper for all women that were stigmatized by being called a slut to come forward and talk about it-personally i envy the ones that have a replacement before the bed has even cooled off- i always have these broken heart two year never falling in love again sessions 5 to be exact- thats ten years of break up bullshit out of 53=the good news is i guess, that i am an aspiring slut... at any rate-i wont be able to pull that off-love is what i like, more than sex, i love sex, but it is soooo good when someone really loves ya....and you love them --sometimes even more then yourself huh?
