re-stringing

[creativesoul]

he carried that for many miles
to his mama

today we re-strung it
in a traditional way
with deer sinew and water like beads
because i heal; with water
clears all the cells of any magnetic stuff
residue just melts on down the drain

letting it go sometimes

that can be the pain
so much love
i hsd never seen until the light came thru like mildrew

faster faster sweeter-- no time- things are not moving fast enough
coffee

the internet is too slow
my mind is snapping sizzling zoo bombing portland on a child s bik
at high speeds going down hill
im the woman that will never step away from what i know to be the truth
some see me as rather stubborn in this way
even disobedient
surly even snaggle puss
'heavens to merketroy'
the other side of the tracks
where i lived with servants
to becoming one myself
always been so difficult to discern the servant from the master
looking on at the face made of alabaster
the lips so sculpted
by a hand crafted plastic surgeon and an airbrush
perfect looms over the hard on of the a statue of liberty
her torch like a snatch
on a hormone patch

how was i to give my sons the nest
the soul- the heart- even while torn apart
always some skills

look to the hills and the waves
i guessed at the rest
that love saved me'
put me to the test
made all other loves look like guests

love and light and DNA
it is the banging way

[WIREMAN]

bangin was better in the 70's
now its much more appealing
with the lights out
priorities change
life rearranges
threads loosen
sinews crack maybe break
all the while we want natural
it is the way old hippies
were raised

we should get married in vegas and then live apart- in a tee pee - in a yurt in a treehouse with candle light--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------the yuppie way is to hire a hooker and have the fantasy and get out- or is that the way of the rich and famous================[joking scary and truthful]--------------------------- you are such a romantic idealist and i love it! at any rate- i love your writing- and well- that seems to bless everything all the way around----------------------------------------------------- might grab the stand up paddle and hit the river- it is supposed to be 96 degrees=
the true test is comedy... what makes you laugh- i cannot marry short of a stand up comic - life is hard enuf- but it is true = re-stringing is a project- moving to town- so excited i can barely stand it= i guess it is better with the lights out- but really - i have been 162 pounds and tall and skinny all my life- had a fat period or two-but i think whatever is happening is gonna happen anyway- the wrinkles are earned-like currency of character- but maybe the backbone is connected to the heart bone

once upon a time someone called me the Shelley of litkicks
i guess i gotta wake up and smell the flowers
still recovering from last marrige, god bless carole jean may she rest in piece
we got married on a whim and a prayer at 48 years old in 2002'
she was a self proclaimed free spirit floozie artist, queen of the scene who picked
me to be her good man.....we knew each other 6 years in the sowebo arts neighborhood
in b'more and most of our 7 years together were bliss, only thing in the way was a bad drinking problem that haunted her life....a romantic i b i guess, happy to b able to wire it up and do the steel work ive been doing since i was 19.... ya know i'll never say never when it comes to love and marrige, sure does make me a romantic i guess.....

internet love- i hear it creates a lot less wear and tear- perhaps it is a good thing- keeps everything myseterious

[WIREMAN]

thats the artists destiny..." to be mysterious"... our visions of another can be right on or way off, its a crap shoot, i was once this guy, (1979 pic) now im the guy in the other pic, both of em good guys, although i wish i knew back then what i know now

[creativesoul]

both are lovely-

[WIREMAN]

just doesnt seem so long ago
life flies by, on this blue ball

[creativesoul]

i should have never implied that any reltionship with me would be a good thing- i am terrible at the whole thing- with 24 years in Aa and 14 years sober- i have spent a good deal of the last few years trying to un-fuck up- what i fucked up long ag0- in fact you have inspired me to write about the three bad boyfriends ib a row and the 4th husband was icing on that cake- and they say- if three people tell you have a tail, you might have a tail' in my case - i am never going to live it down that i dated a guy with a mullet-
' mom how could you?'
at any rate

i cannot and barely support myself- so golddigging is now an option = before 54 i thought it was all about love--now it is way more than that- so i will stay single= as each divorese costs about ten grande- so it is better to just forget it-
it isnt real-then you bring God the stae and all kinds of things in the middle of teo fucked up people- and ya have a hot mess-


peace

[WIREMAN]

yeah im sure enough
reeling still from all
i went through in the past
i find satisfaction now in
having lots a friends
a job that i have comfort
with ( im needed there)
my wire art and music/poetry
performances are constantly
growing and amazing creative outlets
a solid relationship would be awesome
but maybe it just isnt in the cards
if it comes it comes, im definitely
not out there looking for it at 61

[creativesoul]

i am slao hoping for such a change of luck

This conversation reminded me of this song.

"Two Heads" on the Radio8 show... a song by Barry Gremillion

The story of an internet love affair. "If nobody moves, then nobody wins" .... This was Lrod's and my theme song.
