space is the place
Sun May 19 2002

or underneath my covers. i've been hiding for a day now, been hiding for many many years. i've got my own little universe tucked underneath my shirt. but even the metal or plastic dusty slats can't keep the sun from coming in, grabbing my quivering chin...

i know it doesn't matter. if i'm under cotton or blue blue sky. i can't escape all of this. the corners are uninviting, the doors are open wide. even if i read a thousand books or plugged myself onto the net, there is nothing that can undo what life keeps dragging in...

i'd settle for the familiar coaster ride, the up and down stomach ache...but this dull moving forward...it's killing me instead...

i'm looking at frozen bullets hanging in my air, i pluck them never thinking they'd blow up in my hand...

oh it's time. to jump in the shower, wash off the greyness, dive into worn blue jeans, dive into the world...remember God is everything.

    I hope this Sunday provides you safe, secure cover from these intermittent storms.

    Anyone who can pluck bullets from mid-air has sufficient super-human powers to hold the exploding bullet safely in their hand, and throw the teeny pieces of bullet-shrapnel into the trash can after the explosion. I have faith in you.

    ~~Oh Buccaneer, can you help me get my truck in gear?
    Can you take me far away from here, save my soul from sin?~~

    Them ice bullets melt down when they try to penetrate hot caramel.

    at this dusky early evening, i hope the dive into those worn jeans and the world has been an elixir for your soul, m'lady.
