you’re my crash course
in eschatology
heart sinking
so fast
it’s almost
floating
flying
funny how falling feels
just
like rising
the closest
i ever get
to
emancipation from shackle-gravity
comes from succumbing to its thrust
completely
careening
head over heels
until the slap of concrete
humiliates
the mortality right back into me
i tongue the ground
so much
because i can trust it
there is comfort in the reliable fact
of
the hit, the dirt, again, again
like clockwork
addicted to the machine
fingering your socket
of electroshock heart
just for the assurance:
the redolent scent of burning flesh
the lightning jolt
bolting up this pulsating, persistent
living carcass
the incontrovertible solace
that comes, certain,
with bearing the full frontal
brunt of my
abject inconsequence
you make me this invisible
you’re the vortex i lay my weary head
through
kisses like depth charges
nosedives i never decompress from
lips laced with magnets and hemlock
i am
displaced person
immaterial spirit
homeless
you took up residence in the pit of the middle of me
heavy and pressing
my mundane limbs give out
face down,
i burrow in earth
smell soil sweet
and go
unnoticed
until the
abject invisibility
grows unbearable again.
and then |

gangsta.
it is in these tender moments that i am glad i have not yet acheived the level of success that would keep me from doing something as TOTALLY GANGSTER as that.
pussy ass celebrities can't do SHIT.
does anyone else here get insulted and jealous when that goddamned meme comes up in someone's post and you aren't even IN it? like the person INTENTIONALLY did not write about you? even though u know its on some random shit?
fuck i am gonna do it, dawgs. i am doing that meme.

The Word of the Day for August 18 is:
meme \MEEM\ noun
: an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture
Example sentence:
"Blogs are an interesting way... of seeing which ideas, memes, trends and news events are getting the most comment." (Clive Thompson, quoted in the Sunday Tribune, February 6, 2005)
Did you know?
In 1976, British scientist Richard Dawkins wrote The Selfish Gene, and in his book he defended his new creation, the word "meme." Having first considered, then rejected, "mimeme," he wrote: "'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene.' I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate 'mimeme' to 'meme.'" The suitable Greek root was "mim-," meaning "mime" or "mimic." Dawkins's "mimeme" was formed from "mim-" plus "-eme," an English noun suffix that indicates a distinctive unit of language structure (as in "grapheme," "lexeme," and "phoneme"). "Meme" itself, like a good meme, caught on pretty quickly, spreading from person to person as it established itself in the language.
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence. |

that's so rad.
he clippered all his floppy bangs off.
if i knew how to paste a picture in here i would.
but here is a link anyhoo:
http://www.summersonic.com/05/report/nin/index.html
its rad because:
1) i will cut a LOT of slack for a 40 yr old in terms of petulant teen angst, but the floppy bangs had to GO.
2) i was starting to wonder if he was going bald under there. not that i have ANY problems with baldness. just with a 40 yr old guy hiding said baldness under the bangs of an 11 year old.
so anyway, trent, YOU GO GIRL!
peace out. |

here are some funny things from my life.
i have had no LJ time, and now, i do not either, but i am procrastinating on shit i SHOULD be doing, so why not update with random highlights that amuse me?
1) i feel full of love and gratitude all the time. much of that is because of people like YOU. thank you for blessing me.
2) the other day i had this weird deep sea diver zit over my eyebrow that was like a devil horn growing out of my forehead. it was so gnarly it WOKE ME FROM MY SLEEP. it hurt THAT BAD. in a fit of unconscious madness, i put tendskin on it (that weird liquid fire for razor burn). it WORKED. the shit is gone.
3) me and ragan went to a gay bar the other night, where the BARTENDER who just happened to be STEVE from real world las vegas kept reassuring me of his straightness and asking me if i was a suicide girl and if i thought suicide girls were awesome. i was like "i know you from somewhere" and ragan was like, "bitch, no u don't, u know him from mtv" of course he was right and that cracked my shit up.
4) i am definitely going to england on june 24th to make a video for my poem. you can check out the track at www.myspace.com/enduser if you are curious. i am super stoked and scared all at once. this shit will be so gothy. i can not possibly thank the people who have made this trip possible enough. many of them are here on LJ. thanks you all.
5) i got accused of stealing apples and onions at the ralph's super market by my house the other day. that shit was hilarious. the manager totally helped out and defended me.
6) i found my DREAM boots. DREAM boots. like if a shoe designer sat down and said "describe yer perfect boots" they would be these boots. they are fluevog skiprope style. as in that is the name. in black obviously. they go ALL THE WAY TO MY KNEES. they are far too expensive. i am going to will them into my life somehow. maybe they would like to sponsor a poet.
7) ragan fox's podcasts rock my world.
8) some people are starting to show a genuine concern regarding my delusional obsession with my husband trent reznor. don't worry, i am fine. i am so much happier fawning over the unreasonably short and unattainable than i am having actual human interaction on any romantic tip, which, invariably, always leaves me dissappointed. this way, i KNOW. if this does not make sense to you, that is ok. I LOVE YOU TRENT.
9) i fucking finally wrote a new poem.
i really love and appreciate all you guys. you are fam style to me. |
