9-16-11

I've got this rant in my head, but I could never repeat it word for word.  It doesn't make me feel any better.  I don't think that is what people want to hear.  But I have to write something, if not only to excercise my fingers, to train them to move obediently.  My demons have already had enough excercise.
I bought a t-shirt from some guy a long time ago.  It had a drawing of a skull.  The message underneath proclaimed 'Neanderthals are among us, even now'.  That is so true.  I might fit the bill, but my feet are too small.   And my heart is too big.
-Poem in Progress-
Heaven Help ME
For Being a Sentimental
Sap
Oozing
From the Trees
Like Sticky Tears
Trapping the Flies
Come for a Taste
Hardening over Time
To Golden Amber
Preserving
Placed on a Shelf
In the cellar
to gather dust
trapped
in a new home.
