I was looking at Nixon's sets last night and she struck me as being so strong, powerful. Unique and comfortable in her sense of self. Then I saw her on CSI NY and I loved her playfulness and her sense of presence on camera. For some reason she just really struck a chord with me. So, you all know me well enough by now that when I need to process something it generally goes down in verse. So here is my attempt to put Nixon into words.

NIXON

Inside your skin is all the world defined in the terms you set for yourself without compromise.
The depths of your eyes are glorious drowning pools and each new fathom carries endless suprise.
You stride across the lives you pass in bold and purposeful steps with no apology and no regret.
The memories you leave in your wake will remain as aching and beautiful reminders we are unable to forget.

Lines between reality and sanity blur into a carnival of chaos and captive audience wonder in your life.
With grace and reckless abandon you dance in maddening clarity and purpose on the razor's edge of a knife.
You seem to laugh a secret laugh at the poor world that is so mislead by your captivating jester's dance.
Let them think your carefree ways were chosen by reckless abandon and perhaps even random chance.

Your knowledge goes far deeper, that precious sense of self that so many struggle their whole lives to define.
In the clarity of stormy eyes lie the secrets of your journeys, an endless source of strength for you to mine.
You dare us all to laugh with you, to cast away the traditions that bind us to our everyday lives and perceptions.
For you are purely and simply Nixon, with no apologies, excuses or petty and useless misconceptions.
