Someone forlorn, somone caddy and sensless,strung up, strung out, with stars in their teeth,someone with heart ,who can't look at another neon sign without spitting into the night sky and screeeeaaammming. someone who screams and cusses,who wants to grow a tail or horns, or wings, or gold teeth,someone with a cool grill,who's not ashamed they're rotting too,who know's the difference between they're, and there, an their,and yours and illusory,as if owning anything were.... mine or yours, or you are...sooo beautiful when you're kind of weeping......who doesn't grimace at my too loud laugh a Little squeeky shoe. Who can quote Ab. Fab,or doesn't mind if I do....who checks in, who checks out,who can't get a checking account... or doesn't mind if I can't Someone who doesn't mind their manners, time, money, someone who doesn't pull away, probably someone not like this at all, some mother,someone other, some other, the others..... they used to say, an other.an omfg pop!!

When I was a kid I named everything in my house. I named the stove, the fridge, the carpet and the chair cussions. I was seven when my family bought a new kitchen table and chairs. It was devastating watching the old set get carted off to the dump. I flipped out!! So much so, they actually let me keep the back to one of the chairs. It's still in my old closet in Southern Illinois.Books
"Love Does Not Make Me Gentle or kind, by Chavisa Woods Fly by Night Press 2008 is available on available on amazon.com and for order at any bookstore in the U.S. Books I like to read: An Autobiography of Red- Anne Carson, Art and Lies- J.W., Lolita- V.N., Jane Eyre, Labyrinths- Borges, Burning Your Boats- Angela Carter, Mules of Love- Ellen Bass, anything by Ahkmatava, Crime and Punishment- Dostoevsky , Anna Karinin- Tolstoy, Short stories by Flannery O'Connor, Everything by Harlan Ellison, The Light In August- Faulkner, Getrude Stein (she knows there is know one else, in English anyway), all sorts of Hesse and Atwood, Wolf- Virginia that is.. yeah Poem: Burning the Water Hyacinth- A.L. We flame the river to keep the boat paths open your eyes eat my shadow at the light line touchless completing each other's need to yearn to settle into hunger faceless a waning moon. Plucking desire from my palms like the firehairs of a cactus I know this appetite the greed of a poet or an empty woman trying to touch what matters. ---------------------------------------Heroes
We don't need another Hero. I hate the army, and fast food- don't get along with republicans, don't associate myself with Christians, unless I have to because I am related to them... But that is still questionable. America has a problem with the notion of heroism. Of needing to be saved from something/ everything. This life is a choice and a fantasy we are all really living it right now. There are no rules, there is no prosaic god on a cloud telling you what to do. You live the way you choose, no restraints. Jump into the adventure, fearless. Never stop searching for something new. NEVER STOP CREATING. There are no rules but the ones you create for yourself and the ones other people try to enforce on us: but remember, you must live in the environment you create. If the people around you hate you and are suffering because of you, you are probably not going to enjoy what you created much longer. America has a problem with Christianity like a infection, everyone, awaiting some perfect life after death and chucking this one. Our chance for happiness, for "heaven on earth" is NOW. It is your responsibility to create it for yourself and those you love.

We're in U-city, actually right down the street from Whit. When/What are your travel plans - and where/when are your readings??
I can't wait to hug you

Also, we have a lot of room and a ridiculously overpriced air mattress - these things together = place for you to crash, should you be so inclined.
Also, I love you.
