scared and worrisome. <br />
<br />
Attempted murder in the first degree, <br />
I've hung my spirit around the rope of love <br />
I'm staggering to remain conscious of my illusions <br />
cause even my illusions don't comfort me <br />
Attempted murder in the first degree <br />
I find myself consumed by a disease <br />
contracted from the tools of humanity. <br />
<br />
Fatal wounds that linger masked by glee, <br />
ignoring the devastation of my tragedy <br />
with each second that slips by, I lose my life. <br />
Convicted in the first degree <br />
I resolved that I’ve murdered my Identity. <br />
Scattered my morality to </span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">compromise my senseless misfortunes, <br />
cheated time and traded my mind for </span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">sensuality and a fountain of Hennessey <br />
unforeseen conception now strives to survive in</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">a swine of despair and defeat <br />
Refrain my unborn one,</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">regardless of thy strength</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Dead on Arrival you are destine to be. <br />
<br />
sorrow and grief - I seek my honesty <br />
cradled in thorns and abandon by love <br />
I seek no blessings...they only fail me. <br />
Just a blade to drain this uncertainty <br />
Attempted murder in the first degree.</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I Cry Murder Me.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093693068626332535.post-28593601593887571332010-12-21T03:34:00.000-08:002010-12-21T03:37:05.134-08:00Rewrite of Ghazal -Patacake<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">October 5<sup>th</sup>, 2010</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">Prof. Latasha Diggs</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">Ghazal</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><u>Patacake</u></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">I tried to adjust the rhyme scheme within the couplet, which was absent in the original poem.</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><span class="fnt0">Form: The Ghazal<br />
Topic: The magic of your body part (you pick the part)<br />
<br />
Strategy: No "the", "and"; "-ing"; abundance of concrete imagery and metaphor; "I" should only appear once;<br />
use of consonance and pun in every stanza.<br />
<br />
Rules: A poem made up of twelve couplets (two line stanzas) all using the same rhyme. <br />
<br />
1. Each line shares the same meter<br />
<br />
2. The second line of each couplet usually ends with the repetition of a refrain of one or two words<br />
<br />
3. In the first couplet, both lines end in the rhyme and refrain<br />
<br />
4. The poet puts his name in the final stanza.<br />
<br />
5. Always expresses a mystical thought/journey<br />
<br />
6. 13 syllables per line</span><br />

Hunched over the stainless steel range tucked in the far right of the kitchen, she is cooking up your favorite meal; eggs and sausage with a hefty helping of plantain porridge and crushed sweet potatoes. The flushed coral Martha Stewart’s inspired pots give great life to the austere gray tones of the marbled kitchen walls. Water is gushing from the faucet, keeping the sweet potatoes cool until she’s ready for them. And she still hasn’t gotten around to your roasted tomato gravy, made spicy with the red bird peppers from the small vegetable garden you planted together. Shuffling over to the dining table she sits directly in front of you, spreads her thighs wide apart, and sluggishly pulled the torn hemline of her pale blue sundress unto her breathing hips, revealing the thick luster of pubic hair, growing wild from her Bermuda triangle. Her thighs still possess the ripe youthful strength that captured your gaze ten years to the date. It’s your anniversary. You never married her for reasons she still seems to be unaware of, even with all that has unraveled within the last four hours, thirty seven minutes and three and a half seconds. <br />
<br />
“Ralph I need you home more often, it’s quite lonely waiting for you,” she whispers gently while placing the bronze mixing bowl between her thighs, and smiles. The darkness of her skin has always revealed the beautiful contours of a West African princess. <br />
<br />
“Ralphee are you listening to me.” Her delicate face weighs heavy with eagerness; almost a craze insistence for your response.<br />
<br />
“Ralpheee!” <br />
<br />
Nodding furiously, your face perched for a sudden up roar, if only you could free your wrist from the cold grips of the kerosene drunken ropes wrapped around the curved arms of the ashen chair.<br />
Flailing within the confined embrace and glaring directly at Amma, your attempts to brake free are exhausting. She smiles in contentment, finally you have nowhere to go. Stifled screams are barred by the soiled bloody blue linen wrapped around your throbbing lips. You are all hers. Face swollen ruff and bruised, your eyes crowded with curdled blood as tears shamefully creep down the high arches of your cheeks and settle on callous lips, the taste is cruel and real. The reality being the selfish choices you have made, eventually; propelling your once solemn Amma to the brink of unforeseen madness. Amma brings her hand heavily down on the center of the mixing bowl, crushing the contents. Sweet mashed potatoes and hearty yucca gradually forced together, molding and folding into each other, the determination within her gaze bares hidden longings.<br />
Continuously gyrating her wrist into the bowl grasping the tiny mortar stick, glancing occasionally at your pathetic face with the bitter waters flooding and flowing over your weakened chin. Amma places the bowl on the table with the mortar stick erect in the center, kneeling on the dark wooden floor and arching her back under the table, she stares intently. Around the edges of the solid wooden structure are sculpted imprints of the Sankofa symbol. She recalls how the two of you eagerly placed each imprint together as a mark of your 5th year of commitment to each other. Suddenly, without hesitation she maneuvers from beneath the table, grabs the bowl from above, and shuffles hastily over to the kitchen sink. You can hear her rustling about in the cupboard, dishes moving and clashing with each other, something falls shattering upon impact with the floor. But she continues on, tossing about the cupboard. A few seconds later Amma places a ceramic triangular bowl on the table it’s filled with a fluffy dense mixture. It’s the potatoes from before, your mind is racing, and the throbbing beneath your chest seems tempted to leap out and stain the air with red fear. You’re hoping that she wouldn’t try feeding you, she must have poisoned everything. Back to the kitchen she goes. <br />
<br />
Glancing at the full length oak framed mirror from across the dining table, your reflection a strange visual for swollen eyes. Your mind is still searching for reasons of why your woman would strike you with such vengeance. You were still loving her. After all, you picked her up when necessary and sex was given twice a week.<br />
<br />
You were loving. <br />
<br />
Food was always in the fridge, bills were paid. <br />
<br />
You were providing. <br />
<br />
In the morning she would find you always by her side. You were protecting.<br />
Amma races back from the kitchen her tattered blue dress covered with dried blood and traces of her heavy labor soiled the gentle fabric. Placing the remaining dishes on the ironed linen, it is a picturesque site. She’s determined to unlock your soul. Taking a silver dinner knife from the setting, she darts under the table, looking again at the Sankofa markings and then turning directly at your naked pelvis. Amma grabs your dick and engulfs the limp stem with her mouth, clutching your testicles in her left hand, she begins to gnaw at your betraying flesh. You scream in delirious pain but your sounds are muffled. You can feel your flesh separating, blood seeping from the fresh wound. Again with feline precision Amma springs forth and tactically disappears. This time retrieving a sharp butcher’s knife and without hesitation but with no less pain your testicles have forcibly abandoned your body. It’s concealed within her fist, Amma places her hands over the lengthy vase in the center of the table, releasing her folded fingers and freeing the contents . The water within the crystal cylindrical structure turns a pale bitter red and they both sink to the bottom.</span></i> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093693068626332535.post-12396972154927847592010-07-02T00:46:00.000-07:002010-07-18T23:11:42.808-07:00Where The Balls At (Journal entry for Fiction)<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It had nothing to do with him but he is so completely wrapped up in his ego it's impossible for him to see beyond himself. It's as though he's walking around with his head violently wedge within his anus. Yes it's safe to say i despise him. Not in the sense of rage and hate but his tactless, materialistic and selfish attitude just causes my brain to involuntarily detach from my body and contemplate leaping out of my skull. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was bonking him as much as he was getting pussy. it's a two way street! That Fucker! He called, in a fit because i refused to come over to assist his arrogant dick to an orgasm. Does he think my orifices are his playground, No this is not John Mayor's "Your body is a wonderland." Fuck that. If i don't feel like cumming most definitely i am not going to come. Probably he doesn't understand the prinicple of Buddy Assistant. Before i thought he was the perfect choice, we're sexually compatible his organ is waaaaaaay above average....I pause to reflect</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">and we were together for four years. So why not let your Buddy Assist be your ex. i felt things would not get complicated. Boy was i wrong. It's generally known that it is quite dangerous to dive into a platonic relationship with your Ex. But the base line of that ideal is simply related to the 'out of control wacky ditsy female emotions'. Some chauvinistic crow probably sarted that rumor... (rubbish)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">the fact that i still love him made the sexual escapades even more exciting and darn satisfying might i add. But i understood that beyond the friction in the sheets there was no more left to be had by either one of us. I just needed some, was i wrong... (shut your judging eyes and curve that wagging finger)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Though i must mention in order to carry on this affair taking into consideration his overbearing male ego. i had to instill the pretense that the space between my thighs salivated for him alone and as such, he was the only Knight who roamed my hidden hollows...</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HAH HAH</b>! Such a gullible prehistoric ape, so yes i played tit for tat with his ridiculous invasions of my privacy and coyly responded to his vacuous declarations of love. he never once conceived the idea that a woman, needless to say i, would actually OWN the scrotum lost within some fractured state of genetics and treat him as marginally as he and his man clan have done to female beings.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes I reduced him to the basic function of his penile organ and yes i take no shame with it. however, the hyena growling escaping through the receiver of my phone at three in the morning was not expected and certainly not welcomed. So, with no more hesitation i introduced his ear drum to the dial tone and drifted into my slumber, content that the screeching nagging on the line did not belong to a BITCH.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093693068626332535.post-7587143435058168242010-07-02T00:19:00.001-07:002010-07-02T00:19:27.739-07:00Fiction Exploration of Writing with 2nd person<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Generator"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 12" name="Originator"></meta><link href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cdonna%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><link href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cdonna%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData"></link><link href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cdonna%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml" rel="colorSchemeMapping"></link><style>

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This whole concept of living becomes too tedious too often; you’re quite frankly just over being in this world enclosed and burdened by circumstances that just seem to increase as time goes by. You are tired. More so, you go about wondering when eventually you would decide to end it all, in order to escape; the monthly breakdowns and changing depressions. Sometimes, you ponder the idea that beyond this place in heaven somewhere; god is perched on his throne head flung high, mouth opening and surging from his gut is erroneous laughter: Laughing at the misfits called humans. But even these moments of daydreaming and mental drifting cannot become a constant practice, for they themselves will eventually pose a threat to your existence. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Again this morning you spent two hours hunting for four dollars and 50 cents. After emptying shallow money banks, diving into sofas, leaving upturned cushions and sifting through the various crevices, you just managed to gather half of that amount. But at least; it’s a trip to school. So you resolve to walk the twenty two blocks back home. You ponder and curse yourself for quitting the lesbians. Pretending to be a sex slave perhaps was not so bad but then again turning into one is another story. Three hundred and fifty dollars a week cannot compensate for the energy that is put into faking those orgasms: Contorting your body to fit the molds of strange flesh. Who are you down there? Yes, down there, your pussy, do you even know what’s going on. When was the last time you took a deep look into that space? Or have you really become comfortable ignoring and pretending it does not exist, while demons violate and defecate within your space. However, choices weren’t necessarily given to you and empty mouths would not feed themselves, tuition has to be paid, shelter to maintain and the never ending to do list continues. Welcome to the life of an immigrant.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">What you wouldn’t do to at least get a position at Burger king, these Americans turn their noses and spit upon what they consider modern peasant work but for only you had the choice of reciting; “Hello welcome to Mc Donald’s may I take your order please” instead of making mental notes of Karma sutra or the money shaker moves of a exotic dancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">At times you think of champagne sunsets, strong coco man trees, fresh grass and the Atlantic Ocean at night; sometimes, you think of home. Maybe you’d marry to the love of your life, with two point five kids and a career that you’d actually be able to brag about. Instead, you’re a belly dancer slash, naughty nurse slash, poll master slash, broke student and not to mention you’re months away from your twenty fifth birthday. You’re running out of time. You should of at least been happily married by now. Patrick means well but you cannot see yourself married to him. He’s ambitious wealthy and charming. He would treat Monica Bradshaw like a Queen but he’s never met Roxanne Charles. Why the hell did your mother give you that man’s name is beyond your comprehension. It’s not like he contributed a nickel to your name, god knows if he is dead or alive.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You have two hours before you start your shift at the club. Two hours to get home freshen up, hell who are you kidding you don’t need a bath, not like you’re sleeping with anyone, tonight. Grab your stuff and you’ll get Akeim in all his queenly glory to drop you off at the club, these thoughts must go to bed now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093693068626332535.post-2044469408804206192010-06-26T02:40:00.001-07:002010-06-26T02:41:10.463-07:00I Once Heard her Say - (Ruff Practice Poetry class)<span style="font-size: large;">Who knows the freshness of lovers decay </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing much to say about my present surroundings, there is certainly fruits but they’ve quite aged, I think that’s the foot of the old antique chest Marlene from 12B was trying to shuffle up the stairs yesterday as I was heading out to rehearsals. A familiar odor of masalla and curry is beginning to mask the fleeting air, seems the Abdullah’s probably had a huge feast again this week. I think this is their third Jhandi for the month. Once, Bibi the youngest of the Abdullah’s invited me over for their seven curry fiesta, I had promised to stop by that afternoon, I never did. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At nineteen I left my homeland on a student visa in the hopes of finding myself and staking a claim in the world as a renowned classical dancer. Everything was splendid, I don’t have horror stories to unveil, and in many ways I was one of the lucky ones I should say. My boarding family took me in as simply one of their own and within four years I had completed my degree in theater and Dance and got accepted into the prestigious Alvin Ailey Dance Company.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The only moment that can perhaps eclipse the ghostly hollows of my emotions is the night I lost my childhood friend Dara. Eight years ago, March 14<sup>th </sup>to be exact our car was struck by a drunk driver. I was driving. I lived and Dara didn’t. Could you believe it was her birthday. I could still see her simple frame, lifting off the passenger seat and slowly propelling towards the deceptive partition that gave no rescue to her soaring body. Her eyes weighed heavy with fear, and her arms ached to clench my failing wrist. That’s the last image I have of Dara, I didn’t go to the funeral because I spent the next six months in coma. It was the most painful period of my life except for this moment lying here motionless. My words have long since escaped me and my brain has finally given up the task of awakening my limbs. My once beautiful limbs, that sculpted perfectly formed arabesque movements and birthed new rhythms in non-verbal proliferation, are now rendered inanimate; fractured, sprawled and bloodied. A head that is no longer dependable for the support of a recent serrated neck, rest lonely in the top draw of Marlene’s antique chest, from 12B.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your Head is throbbing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Continuous pounding throughout your body, your back feels as though you’d collided with a concrete block. Starting to make sense of your surroundings, there is a faint smell of tangy musk lingering in the air.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What’s that, it’s wet, is that coming from your body, sliding your hands down the left side, you feel it, warm and slowly gushing out of you. The tangy stench suddenly grows stronger.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It returns, the fear, the memory.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s him, o god, it’s him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A heavy force is now wedge on your hips, crushing your body into the cracked ruff surface beneath you. Yes you’re outside, you hear the swift movement of cars passing by in the distance, and maybe someone will hear you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You scream help, no sound, just silence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Help! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Help</i>! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HELP</b>!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No sound.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A sharp pain races from your groin to your womb.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You didn’t even get a chance to tell them about the baby.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Savagely thrusting his self inside of you, he jams his finger into your side and you can feel him making your body his voodoo doll and playing with your insides.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">……………………………………………………………………………………………………</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You pull into the old parking lot across from the lake. Usually, you would park at the nearby High school and run the three blocks over. It’s been six years to date since your Dad past and the memories of his last days, fighting his illness are still ever present. So, despite the frigid weather, you had to escape just to clear your mind. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dashing across the road, you head down that broken trail that has now become your habitual route, surrounded by brittle brushes, stomping hard on the cold cracked grey land with your dog tired sneakers. The lake is calm and you notice the frosty residue around the edges. A crisp icy breeze brushed against your expose neck, sending a chill throughout your body. The air is thick and at times painful but you do not stop, instead; you shift the worn out black striped hood over your head and quicken your pace. Miles is usually out here around this time, you glance at your watch, its 6:05 and the sun is now creeping out from beyond the low Peak of Cherokee Mountain. You’re reminded of the last trip you took there with your dad, in the Parsons Valley and how he promised to take the entire family camping in the summer. Boy he sure did catch a huge snapper, from Carlton’s old pond near your grandparent’s farm. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where is that gray hair twenty something old Queen, he had promised to meet you at the junction under the orange tree. Though there are no oranges right now and come to think of it there none hanging low in the summer either. Wait a minute from a distance you notice a guy in a dark navy blue Holston University Sweat shirt. Could that be Miles? Your mouth gives way to a smirked grin. Is he really wearing an ancient Holston Sweat shirt, Miles could be such a trip. Anyhow, you head towards him feeling a little more relieved and just as you’re about to swing your arms around him, the strange face darts back at you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You almost lose your balance in trying to avoid colliding with the stranger; he reaches out and catches you before your body could crash into the massive tree trunk.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“O my I’m so sorry, I thought…I thought…o my how clumsy of me,” you managed to mutter as adrenalin and shock is pumping to your head. You stare at each other intently. His deep dimples form shallow crevices on his face and replies, “you were going quite fast there.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“I thought you were someone else,” you apologetically replied, while nervously shifting your hood. You step back discretely.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“That’s quite okay, he’s a lucky guy to get such a greeting,” the stranger cleverly quipped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Are you heading down by the bikers path, maybe I can join you,” he replied with much eager and anticipation as he kept glancing at your rectangle amulet around your wrist. Clasping your hands around your palms, you replied, “No, actually I’m meeting a friend in a few, sorry perhaps another time”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Sure,” he replied.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As you start jogging, you glance back and he’s still looking, hmmm, he seems familiar maybe you’ve seen him in the park before.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s 6:45.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You have a doctor’s appointment at 9’o clock, one you will not miss. The huge Maple trees are close ahead but you despise walking near the doggy park especially with the last poop incident. You gently touch your stomach.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The taste of milk and honey floods your inner thoughts; honey, spinach and eggs, that’s what Charles is making this morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So avoiding the doggy Park and the vacant shade of the maple trees altogether, you make a spirited sprint across the bare grass-less stretch of land. For a moment you’re surprised at yourself, it’s been a while since you’ve ran quite so fast. And then an unexpected sense of panic, causes you to slow down. You take a breather by the park bench opposite the fenced pond. Touching your stomach you exhale a sigh of relief. A quick glimpse of your watch reveals it’s 7:55 am.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As you’re about to ease off the bench and start your walk back to your car, you notice the Holston Cougar slogan coming towards you. You didn’t even ask him his name, your face begins to ease into a welcome smile. He does not slow down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">WHAM!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You’re hit and fall slowly to the ground, the light slips away from you and you drift into complete darkness.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093693068626332535.post-89749593910904006792010-05-25T22:00:00.000-07:002010-05-25T22:54:33.557-07:00Alice and the Fairytale Princesses<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://julielomoe.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/alice-in-wonderland-rabbit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 417px; height: 438px;" src="http://julielomoe.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/alice-in-wonderland-rabbit.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Alice and the Fairy Tale Princesses:<br />Throttling the Road Of happily ever After<br /><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" >Alice had just come home from another blind date her girl friend Jill had organized, and again she was royally disappointed with the night. James was a professional archer, worked part time as a graphic editor for a publishing company, never been married and had no children. On paper he seemed perfect; successful, athletic, intelligent but most of all single and disengaged. James was a mocha surprise; he had a really smooth deep tan, about six feet five inches, strong jaw bones, almond eyes, succulent lips and strong clear clean teeth. Alice has an obsession with men who have a really good dental plan, for her the teeth can be a deal breaker. Surely he can be an accomplished and attractive man but if a guy smiles and she does not notice that sparkle that certifies perfection, then it all goes out the window. James, was a cross between Curtis Mayfield and a young Sean Connery, he had all the features of Mayfield, dark and robust but also carried that charming edge like Sean Connery in Gold Finger. However, that was as far as the chemistry went, for some reason as James mastered his skills in professional archery he also adapted the eating habits of a Greek lord and spent most of the night attacking the meat on his plate with his fork: As well as, making rude chauvinistic comments about the place and responsibility of a woman in reference to her position as a wife and mother. For this reason, Alice ended the night by escaping to the ladies room and never returning but she did, however; pay for the dinner, just to show James that women of the twenty first century can be independent and not depend on the financial assets of a man.<br /><br /><br />Note to self stop relying on Jill to find my dates; I mean this was almost as bad as my miniature golf date with Jill’s brother Jack.” Said Alice, Jack apparently had obvious issues with gravity and spent most of the night tripping over the obstacles on the course until he accidentally sent Alice flying into a pond, ruining her vintage channel chiffon dress. "Never again, never again,” said Alice in a melancholy tone: “I have grown tired of this entire affair, I think I’ll grow old and alone, it’s probably best. I mean I’m not getting younger and time is of the essence, time is of the essence. What am I going to do, I can’t leave New York, my family is here and work, it just would not be possible.” Lying on her bed Alice was contemplating her options. “I hope things change soon or I’ll have to take drastic measures to find myself a husband, soon it will be too late."<br />Alice in a tired tone, “too late, soon it will be too late.” Alice silently drifts off to sleep.<br /><br />Someone was tugging on the bottom of Alice’s dress as she was sleeping, she tossed and turned but there was still something or someone pulling on the end of her dress, Alice awoke to some disappointment to find the white rabbit anxiously awaiting her to come to her senses. And as such she realized she was back in the land of wonder. “Fancy seeing you back here so soon,” bellowed the rabbit. “What am I doing here?” snapped Alice. “Darling that’s a question you must answer on your own,” remarked the rabbit. “Don’t give me that Rabbit, you’re always aware of everything, please don’t let me go through a wasteful journey in search of the truth,” said Alice. “But my child you know the journey is always vital, especially in understanding why you’ve met your destination and Alice I did not bring you here, you came on your own volition,” replied the rabbit. “No I did not, no I did not choose to come here” exclaimed Alice.<br /><br />“Your subconscious has a deeper understanding of why choices are made Lady Alice and most certainly something is troubling you and perhaps you’ll find your answer here,” replied the rabbit.<br /><br />Alice shifts from where she is lying, rubs her eyes with her hands and finally takes in her present surroundings, “Where am I by the way?”<br /><br />“You’re in Fairyland,” said the Rabbit.<br /><br />“Yes I know but where specifically,” replied Alice.<br /><br />“You’re in the land of the Princesses and your first stop is with the fair Snow White,” answered the Rabbit.<br /><br />Alice replies “Snow White huh, that should prove to be interesting ok point me in the direction” –<br />“You’re not going anywhere dress like that are you?” scowled the Cheshire cat suddenly appearing with his famous wide grin, smiling down upon Alice and the Rabbit.<br /><br />“O of course Lady Alice we have to get you properly suited,” cried the Rabbit and with a tap of his watch which, was tucked into the pocket of his waist coat and a sudden flash of light, that prevented Alice from seeing for a second or two, everything was different. The Cat glared and motioned Alice to the small lake across the forest trees and Alice took in the image in the pond; her recent dyed brunette locks were replaced with long barrel golden curls, cascading down her shoulders all held together with a blue ribbon. Her dress was white and fair with blue flowers rustling across the sleeves and hemline and her feet were strapped in blue Mary Jane’s. But most of all Alice was looking into the eyes of a girl she had long forgotten and missed so very well. The rabbit had not just only changed her clothes but reversed her age, Alice was thirteen again.<br /><br />“Is all this necessary?” Cried Alice.<br /><br />“But Of course you cannot be frolicking across fairyland looking like an off spring of the mad Hatter and Hare. I mean you’ve grown into a wonderful young woman lady Alice but your type of, ah, attire is simply not suited for these parts.” Snarled the Cat.<br /><br />“O! Yes, yes, the cat is quite right Alice I’m afraid you have to look the part entirely and I think your tender innocence is much suited for the task ahead.” Said the Rabbit<br />“Task ahead what do you mean?” asked Alice.<br /><br />“I say no more, duties await me, I shall see you soon.”<br /><br />“How will I find you?” replied Alice.<br /><br />“You never have to look Lady Alice, I’ll be around,” and with that Rabbit went rushing off into the distant sun, vanishing between the bumble berry shrubs.<br /><br />"I must be on my way also Lady Alice, it was quite a pleasure to see you again, everyone knows you’re around, so be on the lookout,” said the cat.<br /><br />“O Cat I wish we had more time to spend together, I’ve missed your cynical wisdom,” said Alice with a menacing smile.<br /><br />As the Cheshire cat’s body began to gently vanish, he smirked at Alice “and we’ve missed your witty human ways, farewell Lady Alice until next time,” and he was gone.<br />Alice was now alone in the middle of the forest the sun was now high in the sky and the little animals could be heard whispering and sneaking around the forest floor. The robins were singing perched on umbrella shaped trees and the dears were roaming the open field in the distance.<br /><br />“But o wait the Rabbit never said where exactly Snow White would be, exclaimed Alice. What am I to do now? O well I’ll just head down that old beaten path," looking out of the corner of her eyes with a bored smile.<br /><br />Several hours had gone by since Alice was following the broken trail; between trees, twisted turns, hopping over small puddles of mud and stopping every now and then on an old log to catch her breath. It was mid afternoon, and Alice was making another wide turn, wondering aimlessly, she spied a small cottage house and an old woman in haste rushing from the premises, by the time she got closer the old woman had appeared to be swallowed up by the burly bushes adjacent to the cottage. Alice gently turned the lock of the cottage door and entered on the floor laid a beautiful young woman, who appeared as though she was sleeping. Her face was pale, and dark thick curls brushed against her restful cheeks. Without out a doubt it was Snow White, dressed in her famous blue and red blouse with the white collar and bellowing yellow skirt.<br /><br />“Snow White,” whispered Alice.<br /><br />Alice’s eyes wandered around the small cottage, there were tiny tea pots, plates, cups and spoons scattered across a long wooden table that seated seven. The chairs were small except for an extra one that was quite big compared to the others and stood at the end of the table.<br /><br />“I guess that’s where the fair Snow white dined,” said Alice calmly.<br /><br />The cottage was bright red with green trimmings almost looked like the inside of Santa’s elves work shop; Alice smiled while making this connection.<br /><br />“Ouch! What the hell was that?” screamed Alice, an apple rolled across the floor in front of her, she spun around on her heels to face Snow white who was still lying on the floor motionless.<br />Alice leaped to the floor and shook Snow White furiously, “You don’t pretend, wake up, wake the hell up! I know it’s you, it’s just the two of us here, get your tail up! Shouted Alice. Your beauty is not going to charm me, open your damn eyes, we need to talk.”<br /><br />“What is it you want and who are you?” snarled Snow White.<br /><br />“She Speaks!” chimed Alice.<br /><br />“Yes I speak, now what’s your business here? I am on a schedule here ok! I can’t afford to waste time with a silly child,” said Snow White.<br /><br />“I am no child!” Retorted Alice,<br /><br />“You sure look like one,” said Snow White<br /><br />“Well looks can be deceiving,” smiled Alice.<br /><br />“Don’t I know that!” replied Snow White.<br /><br />“What’s that suppose to mean?” questioned Alice.<br /><br />“Oh what the hell," snow White decided it was best to entertain the stranger, the sooner she would get back to her task at hand. "Let’s get this over with, you’re obviously here because you’re lost, so how can I help you? What’s your name?" Asked Snow White.<br /><br />“Well you can say I may be lost, I don’t know exactly why I am here but I know you are a part of the answer.My name is Alice.”<br /><br />“Alice who?” Cried Snow White<br /><br />“Alice, you know, Alice of wonderland…Off with their heads…the disappearing cat, Mad Queen, blah blah blah.”<br /><br />“Oh Alice, fancy seeing you around here, last I heard you flew down some chute into the future, living in a big apple or something or the other.”<br /><br />“Yes, that’s true,” responded Alice.<br /><br />“Well how can help you? Time is of the essence you know, I’m scheduled to meet my prince soon and I can’t be seen chattering away with you or else I’ll have to go through this worthless charade between my stepmother and me,” said Snow white.<br /><br />"That’s exactly what I think I need to know, why is it you go through all of this?"<br /><br />"Why of course to meet my prince, how else could a girl meet a decent guy around here, if not by poison or some deep sleep, we have to be rescued,” said Snow White looking at Alice in astonishment.<br /><br />“So you put yourself through this entire issue of being poisoned, just to get a prince.” Asked Alice.<br /><br />“No!” “No!” “My dear you have it all wrong. It’s not real poison as you can see, my stepmother is harmless, the number of princes in land is rapidly declining and princes are noted for being adventurous and it worked for sleeping beauty so why not me. I mean Cinderella was a lucky girl, well if you consider the fact that two years later there was a another ball, at which her prince was enchanted by another beauty. He no sooner divorced Cindy and she’s back with her step mother and sisters, poor thing,” explained Snow White.<br /><br />“Are you serious, I have never heard about that,” squealed Alice.<br /><br />Putting her index finger to her lips," it’s on the Q – T, or the down low, if word got out it would be devastating to the human world. Cindy's story serves a purpose to ensure and preserve true everlasting love. I know, I know it’s far from true and it’s sure not everlasting but no one needs to know the minor details,” Snow white chuckles and stares at Alice surprised face.<br />‘So do you love your Prince,” asked Alice.<br /><br />‘Didn’t I just say minor details; look it’s bad for a woman of my age to be without a husband, who knows I may end up stuck with these horrible dwarfs if I don’t get married soon. On that note, I think you should be hustling along now. Take this it’s a traveling hat put it on and it will take you to where you need to be ok.”<br /><br />“But I still have more questions,” beckoned Alice.<br /><br />“I have to get back into position, pass me that apple, Snow white motioned to Alice to pass the partially bitten apple. Now shut the door behind you and good luck. Oh, by the way,” Snow white was re-positioning her gown and gently fixed the apple near her palm, she turned to Alice and said, “don’t be so hard on yourself, pick yourself up some sleeping pills from the old witch down the road if you like, you never know!” And with that she was passed out again, appearing as an enchanted image of beauty and restful grace.<br /><br />‘I’ve simply had enough of this,” sighed Alice.<br /><br />“Put the hat on and be on your way, you’re close, just pay attention Lady Alice.” Said the Mad Hatter<br />She spun around just in time to see the Mad Hatter dashing into the clustered trees.<br /><br />“Come back here you silly Hatter” screamed Alice<br /><br />“I have something of importance to attend to, I’ll see you soon Lady Alice but you should continue your journey as well, farewell.” And the voice was gone.<br />With that said Alice flung the Hat upon her head and with a flash she was standing at the bottom of all tall tower,<br /><br />“Hmmm, this seems familiar; it’s all about fairytale princesses, so this must be Rapunzel.”<br /><br />“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair, it’s your girl Alice.”<br />In no time Alice was climbing the long golden braid, as she entered the tower Rapunzel’s hands were outstretched waiting for Alice.<br /><br />“I’ve missed you Lady Alice” said Rapunzel.<br /><br />“I know I’ve missed you too my dear friend it’s been quite a long time.”<br /><br />“Yes but I can see time has not aged you at all.”<br /><br />“No! No, yes it has but the rabbit was up to his tricks again, or as he said it was much safer to be here looking like this instead of my adult self.”<br /><br />“I know what he means the women here are crazy now, their desperate for men, they’ll do almost anything to get them and that includes eliminating the competition.”<br /><br />“I never thought you would still be here, were you not living with the<br />Prince in the Palace,” said Alice prying.<br /><br />“Yes I was but I moved about twenty years ago Alice, marriage life was not for me and made much of myself since leaving. I’ve started a weave factory and export wigs to international markets."<br /><br />"Wow, that is surprise how do you manage?"<br /><br />"Well instead of buying sleeping potions I bought a growth spurt potion and use it on my hair, I have an annual growth sprout. The little elves help me to fo the weaving.Hold on, I need to cut this.”<br /><br />Rapunzel steps to the window of the tower and swings her locks outside the huge opening; she takes a large scissors and cuts a good portion of her hair off, it falls with a loud thud to the ground.<br /><br />“Yes where were we, I heard you need help.”<br /><br />“Who told you that?”<br /><br />“Snow White sent a message before you came.”<br /><br />“How did she do that?”<br /><br />“Through the crystal ball of course, anyhow what’s on your mind darling”<br /><br />“I think I’m just glad I saw you, there are no more questions.”<br /><br />“So you’re leaving so soon?” said Rapunzel<br /><br />“I’ll be back I’m sure but continue to take care of yourself. By the way how am I getting down from here?”<br /><br />“Oh that’s easy I had stairs put in when I moved in but you can use that same hat it’s a tele-portation device. Farewell Lady Alice, see you soon.”<br />Alice puts on the Hat and is surprise to find that she’s back at the edge of the forest and rabbit is there waiting<br /><br />“Have you found what you’re looking for Lady Alice?”<br /><br />“Not quite but I think I now have an idea of what is needed”<br /><br />“Ok then well I guess my job is done.”<br /><br />“Thanks for your help again Rabbit.”<br /><br />The Rabbit takes off his gold top hat and nods appreciation to Alice, I must be on my way again. As he is about to turn the corner and disappear into the night air, he asks Alice.<br /><br />“What is it you think you need?”<br /><br />“To give up on fairy-tales”<br /><br />“Whatever do you mean?”<br /><br />“It’s time I face reality that my life is quite okay just the way it is, if I get married sometime in the future that would be fine but if I don’t it’s not the end of the world.”<br /><br />“Ok Lady Alice, fare well”<br /><br />“Farewell Rabbit.”<br /><br />Alice awakes in bed smiling, turns to her dresser picks up a stack of dating journals, and magazines about finding a husband, walks into the living room and throws them into the fire place.<br /><br />The End</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093693068626332535.post-24115593300738774632010-05-25T20:33:00.000-07:002010-05-25T21:47:24.091-07:00Sestina - My Father's Hands: Hum 102-001 Spoken WordMy Father’s Hands<br /><br />In the shadow of their constant guide<br />newborns knew cradled comfort.<br />They crafted airplane rides with love<br />and young hearts knew no fear <br />of impending gravity, palmed protection<br />drew near like the courage of a soldiers pride.<br /><br />Toiling and laboring lack the sin of pride<br />but mapped a master’s guide<br />of a father’s might and protection<br />in securing his family’s comfort.<br />They caressed the changing fears<br />in his heart and captured the tender love<br /><br />of his children.

I am enclosed by walls of liberty and<br />
democracy, these grave stones that<br />
seek to release me from the<br />
clutches of colonial slumber, clasp a <br />
fierce burden upon my chest and<br />
render me trapped in a crucial hold of status-less<br />

I dive into the deep crevices of my<br />
courageous heart, where lay hidden are the<br />
bones of my culture and the blood of my history.<br />
The names of mothers whose bosoms comforted me and<br />
whose aprons I hung from in still mornings .<br />
Aromas of sweet-broom and peppermint hold safety.<br />
