Array ( [sid] => 99825 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Can't Tell the Difference [time] => 2005-07-01 18:15:16 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In contrast to the prettiness that walks on its own
The ugliness falters when confronted with its own

In a deliberate opposition to the earth's powerful pull
I walk singularly, humming, a provocative tune

In defiance, I have not shaved my face in weeks,
Let someone speak,
Or dare say that I am intellectually weak
Or challenge me to a verbal duel
In which the looser is presented as the fool
Starting with this question;
What is the first thing they teach you in school

Share, your thoughts with me, I beg you to respond
I ask of you peacefully to give me some attention
To ask me my name, or where I'm from
To ask me the same, the same question
That I wish to know, that I die to hear
You say to me, that I am yours, and welcomed

In contrast to the mountains that stands high and firm
My neck dangles, and strangles, loosing air in turn
In a convincing way, the clouds show their intentions
The grayness that overcasts, has ruled out, a dry protection

Hey caveman! Shave already damnit!! Jyss; what's your name? What's your number? Can we be pen pals?? lol j/k
I honestly have to say that I really love this write!! Something about it is wonderful...the mixed emotions, and your always impressive expression. I don' t think anyone who has read your poetry would say you are intellectually weak!!! You are amazingly talented, and I'm glad others are starting to take notice too...The way only you can weave a write always astounds! I like the fourth stanza best. Well done jyss.

Scorp ; )
(flipping u the bird for your comment earlier!!) LOL
