A Third Source of Unnecessary Tension, from Mary Ann Samyn's "Purr":
Milky the light.
Number please the light.
How long have you been waiting?
If I lie down now.
If I just ______, then the room will _____.
Steady, please.
But even with the day OFF
(shades down, light switched)
the mirror has to do something with all its energy.
It chooses you. Red Rover Red Rover.
What would Darwin say
about the origin of an ache?
Psychosomatic is a good word though sometimes
consonants just pretend to get along...
Like when your name curlicues
across sticky birthday cake.
And you have to lean over it, the center all lit up--

7 maids a-milking:
Amanda, are you hung over?
Please speak a little more quietly, east side. And turn off that flashlight. Do you just carry that around to torment people?
Wow :) This is pretty awesome!
if it's any consolation, those words are beautiful.
Trust me when I say, you will just get better with each passing year.
Your hangovers, however, will only get worse.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.
i quite enjoy this and um, agree hands down with east side.
ps - i tag you, if you don't mind that is.
