some frustrated haiku

[prosicated]

i made paper dolls
of my oil company's spleens.
they kept calling me.

i think that their balls
would look great turned inside out
on network tv.

i hide underground
and bite oil people's toes off
because i want heat.

shivering keeps you
young and beautiful they said.
i don't believe them.

comforters are hip.
i wear one, you should too, yes.
then we can be twins.

Maybe we can have
one over to the house, and
light their toes on fire.


(anyone's call as to how many syllables "fire" has. I'm pretending it's one.)

[prosicated.livejournal.com]

i think it is one
syllable as well because
i like your idea.

lighting them on fire
would keep my house toasty warm
and i miss you lots.

*smiles, buries self in haikus like a big pile of fall leaves and stares at the sky*

(and the humans colored under their skin like tree chlorophyll... remember?)

how could i forget? my hair is almost long enough to knot again. =)
how is fall in SF? a season i've missed there - tried winter and summer, no spring or fall...

Fall here is sort of like fall on the East Coast until about October. Then it turns winter for you guys, and keeps being fall here. It's just not crispy cold like fall is out there. I kind of miss that. The days are usually about 55 with breezes, some sunshine, some clouds. For the past two days it's been raining like NUTS, which is unheard of for out here. Californians say "We're going to have thunder today" instead of "a thunderstorm." Probably because that's usually what happens out here: it thunders once and gives up. :)
The weather just isn't really a *presence* like it is in the East. When it makes itself known (like with all this rain), Californians are like "What the hell?? Who told you to do that? Go back to being bland and non-threatening!"
My hair is definitely longer. I think I might be leaning back into growing it out again. I miss my security blanket :)

Mine is calmly growing its way back out, i contemplate cutting it again and then realize that i don't particularly care and i miss my hair. =)
soon we will match again, ah hahahahaha... *weg*

Some good ones there. Adversity, it seems, is the mother of invention.

so frank zappa is
the adversity of good?
the cold hurt my brain.

all business memos
written today are haiku:
local holiday.

great poetess meg,
would you like me to kill them?
i'll go get my knife.

[prosicated.livejournal.com]

please do not kill them
until after i have heat.
then you may run wild.

[nagashimon.livejournal.com]

ok, that makes sense.
then you can murder my boss.
criss-cross, meg. criss-cross.

*Hugs?*

Life gets better. And laughing hysterically seems to help it seems. But preferably not in the middle of a film screening. :)

Re: *Hugs?*

[prosicated.livejournal.com]

your screening story
was most amusing. perhaps
you should come visit.

Re: *Hugs?*

[moira-kathleen.livejournal.com]

visiting sounds nice
when shall I come via train?
laughter seems to help
