"we put language in zoos to observe caged thought
and toss peanuts and p funk at intellect
and motherfuckers think these are metaphors! I speak what i see
all worlds and words are metaphors of me"

"language is a virus" - laurie anderson

hi baby doll.
thanks so much for the feedback. smile
how do i do this stuff? driven by the desire to inspire, and to be inspire. i need the catharsis. music/prose seems to be the best way for me to channel/communicate.

i keep finding willing participants. so i keep sending 'em vocals.

i would love to do music for a living. i have a friend who has his own recording equipment and whose rate is (thank god/dess) very reasonable.

you can come play if you want! shocked)

ninji is too masculine for me. i want to be soft. to be bella. i'm also way inspired by this new song by an artist called beady belle, called "bella," so i thought it was time for that change.

more info about that here: http://jianda.net/bella.htm (lyrics, and a link to beady can be found there).

anyhow, that's the deal. i've never been way masculine or anything but have felt too neuter--too non-participatory in life. wanna be more a girl and enjoy being a girl. rather than a wallflower/0/hibernator.

that's the deal.

p.s. everything you see in me, you already are, and embody, or you would not have recognized it.

"In The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf (1991) cites a survey indicating that a whopping 90% of American women are dissatisfied with their bodies. When this attitude is passed from mother to daughter, which is understandably almost inevitable, a vicious cycle begins. Mothers, according to Susie Orbach (2001), generally experience some level of difficulty in accommodating the needs of their daughters. They wish to feed and...

Luff and I are in our new room!!!! It's soooo beautiful-sunny-green-calming-plumbed-flowered-soft lit-happy-project time. I'm so excited. I love moving into, exploring, expressing in new places. I carry tapestries and a wide variety of lantern/sting lighting with me all over the country, just so I can put the same old stuff up in a whole new brilliant way. I made a toilet paper dispenser (WE HAVE...

a friend, of sorts, wrote this for me today. anyone care to take a stab at what the fuck he means?
***

The red velvet of a curtain for instance,
the chain pocket pulling hard iron rods down
and down again again toward a dusty ground;
down from the high ceilings and wood smell,
down from the high theatre smell up top, the iron rods...

Some people, I'd say, are in love with language (and drugs) enough that the words themselves don't have to have meaning, just a visceral reaction, of sorts. My 2 cents.

golly, i wouldn't dare to guess but it sure is intricate n' trippy. smile

If you ever see me at a Greyhound station
remind me to tell you about time.
But if you see me on the bus
I am alone in a portal
so please don't disturb me -
on the paper napkin dream
number in a matchbook bed
red gingham sheets in
the middle of october on a
magic gingham ride
clouds and pastels
suddenly died.

through the forest like an elephant king that has lost a
kingdom no one's

Torso Flashbacks

Not to be confused with acid flashbacks, tequiza flashbacks,
Urban, rural, or academic flashbacks.
Chalkboards juxtaposed over chalkboards and again
beaches of sand that are double exposed over beaches of rock that expose my inertia
forest fire mountains exposed and doubled over desert neons and their bathtubs
Hair a darker shade,
(foreshadowing)
now.
Slices of cheese

Thrown onto the back of the monster....

Sorrow ain't a city
It's the train that takes you there
Sorrow ain't a city
It's the train that gets you there
Where are your woes?
In the Indiana snows.

And when you eat fruit
remember the folks who planted it
And when you eat your fruit
remember the folks who put it in the ground
And who knows where to go
In the Indiana...

BEAUTIFUL. Can we form a commune?

And the one you placed in my journal, was that yours too (pardon my ignorance if yes, or if no).

I wish I could marry a poem like that (THAT'S A BIG DEAL! TO ME, MARRIAGE IS THE "M" WORD)
