Bistro Bijou

[Eluard]

I want it bare
bulb ugly with shadows
as my only make up
and the light swinging
like a cheap disco ball.
For words to hide
in the cracks of the walls
like roaches in the light.
To boil language down
until we are without semantics
and everything is understood.
I want to feel the teeth
that hide in your mind
eat away civility
until we are raw and juices run
down my chin. Have gravity
turn sideways and force the wall
into my back, feel my wrists cuffed
in skin and the world divided
into a three four rhythm
where the bass plays
so deep inside that our ribs
shake and like a sheet
of rain on a window pane
I bleed beneath my skin.

Easily one of the hottest poems ever posted on Lit.

Don't be startin' rumours 'round here. That's my job.

sigh. LOL
The class that I'm taking now, cognitive psych, has a grueling schedule. That's why I haven't been around much lately. Two and a half more weeks left of this class then it's on to the next. Hopefully, the next one won't be so crazy.

Sorry. I love you but I'm not getting into that giraffe biz without dragging you along! Now what we need is Crown or Loco to try to explain it to somebody. I miss those two fools!

I hated cognitve psych. And then I ended up working at a place for 15 years where I had to deal all that statistics stuff in the course I despised.

What kinda love is that? A real friend woulda takin' a zoo animal story for the team.


I still talk to both of them (Loco not for awhile). I know you would never have been able to drag Crown onto a poetry board.

*laughing* Indeed. We young'uns need the whole story, someday.

You've been astoundingly quotable lately.

*waves at Anschul* Hope your trip is being graceful and kind.

The apres story has become much geater than the actual story. Needless to say it all centered around a discussion that included Ange and I and few other friends--the heart of the discussion was a giraffe and the uhm length of his tongue.


The scary thing is that I'm holdin' back. This is the restrained me. I'm tryin' not to scare the relativley normal people.

There are normal people here?

*looks around, alarmed*

good lord. I hope they're okay. Should we get them anything? Water? A therapist? Xanax?

And El is right about that poem, by the way. That's just smokin' hot.

[UnderYourSpell]

Oh dear I am not normal then cos I immediately thought giraffe's tongue

I said relatively normal, Ms. Smarty Von Pantsenstein. The modifier is the key there. I dunno what we should get them. I'd say we don't bite but I don't like to lie.


And thank you. Lots of my poems that are first person narrated are not really about me but that I is me in that one. It probably works because it's true for me.

giraffes's tongue...now that's an interesting phrase there.

I feel I must add that nobody wanted to get down and dirty with the giraffe. Some of our minds are open but mine closes just a wee bit when we're talking giraffe sex. Call me a prude.

The logistics baffle me! LOL

You're just sayin' that 'cause your jealous of the giraffes. C'mon admit it.

since Seth does know me at all and is now probably assuming I am a psycho-zoo keeper.

Have no worries. Only the former is true.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

I will admit that if one has ever seen a giraffe in person, it's difficult NOT to focus on the tongue, even if one is the least kinky person in the world.

It's just, well, y'know. Really freakishly long.

Sethp, if you're the new muse, I have some serious questions for you about what I've been up to lately. I assume you're the one responsible.

and by the way, welcome to the Bistro. What'll ya have?

Well I was starting to have a vision of you living in a tree house, naked, surrounded by Giraffes with long tongues and ...well it just got nastier from there. I'll keep that to myself! lol sorry!

Dammit. It's called a tree fort, Seth. Give it the respect it deserves.
