Freak show!

Ohhhhhh - I am obsessed!
Good luck to my girl Mags who just got an interview with these talented ladies!

I do it every day

Love sets us free.

You're perfect, as it turned out

And if we had brought our passports
I would have
made synchronization notes for the sounds,
which were taking the northern route
to the mainland.
And when we would open our eyes
the artists would've been seen -
seen as threats
to society.
Held accountable
for creating the chemistry
of the real world.

In a black hole

And if I had good balance, I would've protected you from the sun

Led by the Wompanoag tribe
raging on
for over a year
3000 indians
600 colonists
DEAD.

Eventually he too was killed
and the victorious colonist sold his wife
and children
into
slavery.

She was a minister's wife
kidnapped by an english man
held captive for 11 weeks

And like the Greek Fates
She knit the fabric of individual destiny
of a classic American text.

Steal my records

I'm in love with a man I don't even know.
I'm in love with his words, his voice, his energy.
We dance in my empty room every night.
His soul and I, and a bottle of red.

You're such a gentleman like that

Yeah, I miss you...
more today than yesterday,
but less than I will tomorrow.
So once again,
we'll sit in our corners,
picking our scabs,
waiting for the pain to numb the nostalgia.

In some fantasy of mine

I'm just one of those girls
who never got over
her first love
and I can't stop
writing poems
for your bloody palms
laying limp
on the mattress
in the spare bedroom.
I guess I'll always
love you...

Religiously unreligious

Allison: "I'm a Christian"

Some kid: "Do you eat meat on Fridays?"

Allison: "I try not to eat at all."

You'll never understand

Remember that one night I stayed at your place, because I had no where else to go and I needed somewhere that felt "safe?"
I tried falling asleep while you were out, but your bed felt so empty without you.
I don't really remember how I fell asleep, but I eventually did.
We always use to "fight" over who had a more comfortable bed... I never wanted to admit it, but I think I liked yours better than mine.
I felt you come home that night, and you tried to be quiet getting in to bed with me.
It always felt safer when you were next to me, it always felt like home in your arms.
Still, today, when I think about you... about us - I don't even realize it, but I still smile.
I'm smiling right now.

Purification

All the evil karma, ever created by me since of old;
on account of my beginningless greed, hatred and ignorance;
born of my conduct, speech and thought;
I now confess openly and fully.




Believe nothing, no matter where you read it,
or who said it, no matter if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense.

70

My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you'll fail.

My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?

If you want to know me,
look inside your heart.

-The Tao Te Ching

The road of adventure.

We do not go round a circle (of existence).
That is an illusion, just as the cycling of the planets and
the stars is an illusion. We move along a spiral track.

We're off to Vienna

Just a typical walk home from class with Mags...

Mags: "So I want Billy Joel to put on lipstick and kiss me somewhere so I can have his lip print tattooed on me."

Me: "I just want to see Billy Joel with lipstick on."
