take my hand
wrap my fingers
walk me to the land
you said our future lingers

dear jane,

your smile has been subdued by greys
cringing at the smells of mold, pushing back at shoulders passing

your step pounds down at loss
your breathe devours gaze
your eyes scream at the heavens
each and every thought and moment
EVERYTHING!!! AND ALL!
more defeating than the last.

sincerely yours
your fall

dear john,

this smile is resistant to this cold air and grey gloom.
it withstands the nudges on the street and the smell of wet cement.

each step is filled with hope...
each sigh breathes in new life...
each eyelash flutters slower...
each...each...each everything
EVERYTHING!!! more sublime than the last.

sincerely yours
in autumm

what's her name....that chic

she walked in and her face was as pink as cotton candy.
i dont remember her name but i remeber her this way.
she was so cool in 2002...behind the SanFransisco Steakhouse.
leaning over the mirror, smiling at us.
she was so cool.

i really wish i could recall her name.

shock and awe

how many pratt architects does it take to dispose of a dead mouse?
if i werent around they would just wait for next day reinforcment.

i shimmied the pour little thing into its brown paper bag.
so after the "you're more of a man than i am" and "of course, she's texan". i got to thinking.
my dad is a hunter..he hunts deer mostly and some boar. i was taken along once and taught to handle and shoot firearms. and at my younger age, we raised chickens, rabbits, and the periodic goat [which we watched get cleaned and butchered]....so maybe i am more of a man [in refernce to the caveman scenerio...since it was a caveman comment].

texan? people say that a lot here. and hell yes i'm texan and im proud of it!
otherwise, im not sure how being texan might pertain to wanting to dispose of a decomposing carcass in my workspace.

dear brooklyn,

i took a nap [dreaming of mom at ~40] on this friday night and woke to my husbands exhuberant "hello, up, up and away!" as he bounced over me like a child...it was reminiscent of my brother doing the same, and as i smiled with pure admiration, i couldnt help get sad for a second. feb 21. magnetic fields..cant wait.

be sincere

the lecture tonight was therapeutic...with enlightening words and wonderful drawings. he spoke of energy...good and bad, mostly good. it was an hour and a half lecture.
there has to be an appreciation for the sincere energy that someone gives towards sometihng or someone, no matter how short lived its deliverance...because the life of the energy given is not short at all but continues as i do.

ps. the sincerity of the energy is key to its lifespan...

taking orders

5 pm.. muffins half off!
field trip!
let's go!
hurry!
yay!

teamlove

More than a few people have misunderstood what "teamlove" means...to us.
OUR STORY:
Our first year married crystal meth was our choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
we never slept. In between the after party and the after-after party, Pokemon would come on (about 8am). we watched.
THE ANTAGONIST: teamrocket is a self-loved couple trying to capture pokemon...they always dress really cool but things never seem to go their way...they believe their destiny it to "take over" and they never lose their optimism towards their sincere attempts to make the world a better place. their [modified per episode] motto always introduced their grand entrance.
THE FINALE: so in our delirious-we-love-everyone-haze we related to them and because we didnt relate to the rocket part of the name we renamed ourselves to what they claimed to be against...LOVE...we knew that they weren't really against love, but were just feeling misunderstood by the general public.

so we called ourselves teamlove...it stuck
maybe new matching t-shirts are in order.

tus ojos negros

spin me! spin me! spin me!
black kaleidoscope skys

bare shoulders, toxic looks
hot sweat and cold necks
raw teeth, blood lips

red lines, blue tracers
slipping under
under, down and under

watermelon sweetness

feel the sweet breath of time
as the oranges appear at the window

ahhh...and stre----tch
tingle and slide
mmmm...and brea----the
smile and wrap

melt and melt and melt

oh me, oh my [old faithfull]

haven't painted in a few years...and the urge to paint burns...
so we'll test the infatuation to this feeling.
so i dusted the canvas off, shook the paints and took out my old "i love beef" apron. the lighting in the room isn't great but it will do into these first late nights.
the last things i painted were people and me [only cause im always my own constant].im excited about my new sense of expression...so lets hope it produces new treats...hoping it will go beyond mere representation.

bittersweet

i am chatty today..yes, very chatty.
something is different today...as if something changed and now im ready to go on ahead with it all.
its accepting what has to be expected i suppose...and then it all makes sense again.
