I hate you and your little dog too.

Good grief, I should have known.

Bachus on Starting Over by justjay 19 Aug 2003, 8:11 PM
I would suggest a different more assertive user name such as Cyclopsis, or The Maskallero, or for braver sorts THE ADVENTUREs' OF ROCK HARD CORN BREAD or Sir Sherbert.

Hilarious, how about 'waves 3' in surround sound?

Jeremi told me I was a lesbian. He knows so much about these things. And in response to the second stanza, do you know how fucking hard it is to find a place right now?? This girl wanted me to live in her living room, now she's moving out. Sweet Jesu, sweet Jesu Glace cut in chunks and whipped into Calvanist roulade filling, this is frustrating.

I like the use of rhyme.

It wobbles for significance, and almost saves itself actually.

well that and he lost his canoe on the day we all rue. the day of toupee. Let us pray, shall weigh.

i like this very much, pig. some lovely moments, here. favorites: its immortalized syntax fragrant colors are riot And all I can say, in predictable cliche, Is, God, how much I love you topaz clouds, damasking heaven's constant eye [oops--you need an apostrophe in heaven's] emblazoned in appropriate Catholicism the only part i am so/so on is "For you are inscribed on my soul." agh. whenever someone brings up 'soul' in a love and loss poem, it sounds cliched. unless handled with delicate mastery. i dare not do it myself for another 3 decades. think of all that i must learn and unlearn before i turn that phrase! and besides, you deftly dispensed with cliche in the preceding stanzas. so, what can you do about it? i don't know. beautiful work, pig.

[you speak of her in both second and 3rd person--in this edit, I made it all 2nd, as she is so very near, still.] witness, the z edit: Salt falls on veneer Veiled in pauper’s wood, The clock-watching chaplain sweats As I refuse to leave you. Staring at your headstone, Looking at its immortalized syntax Chosen at random by your rushed mother Who coped when I faltered. It’s quiet here, and fragrant colors are riot near. At least you’re under the willow You liked the thought of it weeping above you And all I can say, in predictable cliche, Is, God, how much I love you. I stare at the topaz clouds, damasking heavens constant eye, Wondering as I'm watching you If you are watching I. For now, I want to believe-- People always do, when they grieve. Your epitaph, emblazoned in appropriate Catholicism: Words describing an everyman. It doesn’t matter to me, For you are inscribed on my soul.

your word selection always intrigues, 'syntax' and 'appropriate catholicism' are particularly effective in conveying how detached ritual is from death.
Baba, you should of wrote my name down your shaft. For Eric and Liver! May your Mammary live on.
