subtle

uno.

various places
flit birdlike:

inside McDonald's
outside a parking lot

dirty laundry
stacks
trench coat thoughts
concealed

- I'm not that obvious

my eyes are seamless glances
like steady hands and cameras

though I can never zoom enough

dos.

absence of matter
walks sideways
manages to occupy space
despite moth tendencies

to die
from excess perfection
finally witnessed
but death is overrated

and so is life

tres.

I can tell his clothes
aren't thrifty

like midnight and jeans
combined for an ensemble -
effortless
expensive

as the little brush
paints
more delicately than
wings

La fromage. (I assume it's 'la', since Lex wrote that ... I originally had "le fromage".)

Roo: I was inspired by your Spanish vignettes.
Obviously, yours are ∞ better.

I meant to enter this in sheltered's contest,
but I forgot to after I saved it as a draft ...

Meh, I would've written it anyway.

In a list

I want a chocolate-glazed donut.

    I found the Spanish distracting - I understand why you did it, but I think these vignettes would be nice # with the i, ii, iii =)

    I absolutely love vignette iii, very strong=)

    First thing I'm thinking is.. does she know how to be subtle? Full bodied but is no cheese. Tres, yes I like tres da bestest. At the risk of sounding pretentious three sounds like me.

      Aw thank you...
      You do not suck--not noodles, and not as a person.

      I loved your comment.


      Heightwise, I am 5"1.
      Awesome, huh?

      I don't sell myself short...
      I am short.

      Okay, that was some lame ass wordplay.
      Thanks

    Oh wish I knew some of those ~trench coat thoughts~ Better that they be kelt concealed? (U can pm me some if u want)
    ~absence of matter
    walks sideways
    manages to occupy space~ like the walking sideways, and how it occupy's space like in our thoughts.

    but death is overrated-- read my poem titled Standing Soldiers.

    like midnight and jeans: only the skinney can pull this off.

    Now the drumroll!!!~~as the little brush
    paints
    more delicately than
    wings- only from the eye of an artist.
    Enjoyed this walk thru spanish .001

      I got a VERY disturbing innuendo from what you said about "trench coat thoughts"--LMAO.

      It's not dirty.

      LoL, just to clarify.

      I love Spanish.
  • La fromage


    life and death are both
    underoverrated
    like birdlike flu
    in warious beaks

    their song
    -- a beacon for the unsaid chease
