Just Poetry To Me….

                  ”Rising Sign”

your back curves like a creeping vine
with the answers in the fluid in the stem of the spine
in the black-coffee bowl of your eye
why do you overestimate the size of the lie?

i’ve seen
the dangers of
your rising sign
but i swear
i’d like
to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
it’s all inside the wrist, it’s
all inside the way you time it
i resent the way you make me like myself

my nerves jump
like a boiling pan
like a skillet full of oil spits,
rattling on the burner
when i stumble onto the thought
of the match you lit and dropped and set the
dial to slow yearn
 I see the dangers

of your rising sign

but I swear I’d like to drink the fuel

straight from your lighter.

It’s all inside the wrist

It’s all inside the way you time it

I resent the way you make me like myself.

can i spell it out?
should i spell it out?

I resent the way you make me like myself.

No.

Just because I am bisexual, and your friend does not mean I am at your every bicurious wish. ONCE again, I had a friend tell me they want to hook up with me. And seriously, gross. Do I want to hear how comfortable you’ll be with me when we do it. We’re SO not doin’ it! Why do you assume I ‘m gonna “do it” with you JUST because I like girls?! And *knock knock* I’m married!!!! And if I decide to date a girl, she’s not going to be from my “friend” pool.

I’m tellin’ you women, are just like men. Pervy, assuming, and expectant. I’m sorry people if I have to hear another friend tell me they want their first bicurious time to be with  me, I’m gonna scream. Just start screaming and never stop.

Seriously.

Damn.

Just stop.

I hope when I’m old I’m like her….

SEATTLE (AP) — When 86-year-old Edith Macefield refused a $1 million offer to move from her Seattle home, a developer started building a five-story project around it.

Macefield said that she doesn’t need the money and that she doesn’t want to move from her home, where she has lived since 1966. A concrete wall looms within feet of her kitchen window as the project rises.

Macefield’s 108-year-old house is the last home on the block near the Ballard bridge.Macefield said that she doesn’t mind the noise of the construction site.

Construction workers watch out for Macefield, particularly superintendent Barry Martin who says it’s like having your grandmother around.
