sic this.
and, you have keyed this so succinctly as to leave it inaccessible, at least for a skimmer. it's hiddin in the ashes of idyll passed. it's rubbled under, and romulus and remus dug their way out at last.

i'll hold my breath for it. shit, i've been holding it for aeons.

when God is done with your dishes, could you give him a ride to my house? i've had to wear the same pants for 3 days in a row. and i hate to do laundry. he can hit the liquor cabinet and watch the soaps while he waits. it's 3 or 4 loads. a coupla hours, max.

thanks.

only if you'll buy me one of those 'silk' roses, with a 'teardrop' on them the next time you stop for diesel. sweetheart.

now, did you want the maid, or the nurse?

cad, he was being ultra facetious.
just ignore him. maybe he'll go away.

you got me all heated up with a strong start...and then, well, nothing. you lost me at ac/dc. you lost 'it' then too.

do over.
both, i'll wager.

damn. you are so on when you do this kind of thing. excellent modernization. fantastic twist. and then we were undone.

you make me jealous, girl.

be happy you don't get it. be very happy.
wrap it up, h. this needs one more. 2 is not complete. give trigamestus the triad treatment, and then i will vote.

and it won't be a fucking 5.
there is nothing undercover about h8, mr jones. his laundry's been on the clothesline in the front yard since he landed here at the ranker. recently, i believe he took some of his more, erm, intimate wear, down off the line (yes, it was dry ages ago, but not nearly aired out enough), but his scrawled-upon t-shirts and ripped jeans are still there.

p.s.--you won't find him on a star map. yet.

you could end it with an ellipsis, as though the thought is still lingering on...

work with me on the damn punctuation, h! you are getting tighter, so i will be harsher, since i'm good at the picky shit. so, CRACK!! tighten, boy! CRACK!!!

and, you don't need the quotation marks on every occurance of the title. my sugg. is to make it a title once, and leave it as a description of a person the rest of the time.

on The Other Side of Me by Quarton 24 Jan 2003, 7:56 AM
very nice indeed.
this is the weakest point:
~
A tempter who could speak
without debate,
his opinions most convincingly.

How he would talk--on and on
incessantly,
~
ironically, the language is not convincing.

i particularly like the way you begin this poem--as though your mask is a stranger. it does feel that way, at times. remember that you are the fabricator and the fabricatee.

perhaps old age, and wisdom help us meld the two.

i will not rank until you convince me. nice effort.

this is nicer than a little blue box tied up with a crisp white ribbon.
