"What Do Women Want?"
I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress, so no one has to guess
what's underneath. I want to walk down
the street past Thrifty's and the hardware store
with all those keys glittering in the window,
past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old
donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers
slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly,
hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders.
I want to walk like I'm the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want. When I find it, I'll pull that garment
from its hanger like I'm choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I'll wear it like bones, like skin,
it'll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.

I was so young when I was born...
The carnival is God and may all Juggalos find him.
visited me in my dream last night. i was really
tired having talked to great people online until
one am when i finally decided to go turn out the lights and burst into flames.
then i awoke a phoenix and made grilled cheese.
and that sounds like i'm on drugs. swear i'm not [icky stuff] but i have been spending a lot of time in my studio lately with lovely lovely smelly things. i tried to call you and i got your dad and i started stuttering slightly and felt really stupid so i muttered something inane like i'll call her later tonight but whoops it's a little late.
thank god it's almost easter. i've missed you.
I wrote a poem, it's in my scraps. It's not done yet. Tell me what you think?
