A cool poem

Mon Dec 5, 2005, 6:15 PM
A cool poem I found-

"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.

so the doppelganger of sylvia plath
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.
