		<description>The one time I was administered Demerol by IV,
The Doctor stayed by my side, just looking at me.

And when it hit, the last thing I remember
is saying to his big brown eyes, ever so sweetly,

"You ever see the wind bend a field of wheat
as it moves across a field? This ...</description>

		<description>we women who
cover our noble skins
went running in the woods and paths
leading the long way to
the beach.

crunching sand beneath our feet
now freed from the slavery of shoes
we walked the rank and file,
towels, sandals, coolers, kids
the gauntlet of hippies and booze.

past the throng, we thinned away
faded in the distance -
only we ...</description>

		<description>If you are opportunistic...
I can tell.

If you are out for less than you've earned...
I know.

If you want to pass my work off as yours...
I'll find a gentle way to 
block you, out you,
make you share.

and if you want
to steal from me...

I'll slip out of your grasp
like a greased pig in ...</description>

		<description>If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, 
I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; 
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't ...</description>

		<description>i shiver
great shudderings
hang out my window 
surrounded by
fog...

you creep around me
and tomorrow you
might be gone but
i don't think about
that...

all there is 
this wisp of you
in my heart
this wish i can't
keep...

natural mystery
what is it and where
does it come from
what does it 
mean...

lost in the haze
romantic cliche's
believing intangibles 
will do what
i say...

i ...</description>

		<description>On Friday, I realized that I am in my last days at my current job.  

Once it was good for me, a means to keep my producing chops and paperwork skills sharp, a source of money to make this film happen (accountants, graphic designers and lawyers all cost money). ...</description>

		<description>at the end of our illicit affair,
i stopped to see you in your lair -
i was heading through the mountains, 
and the treads on my tires were bare.

papers on sunday with coffee strong,
tussling under covers, none of it wrong -
sweeter for that, in our lives yet untold,
there was the sense ...</description>

		<description>I am in the place I was this evening, 
surrounded by my friends,
but it is not the place it was.

The bright lighting is gone 
and it is no longer a mezzanine.
It is a warehouse strip club 
in an alley at the end of the world.

The hightops are transformed to long ...</description>

		<description>What's a girl to do 
when the boy don't call don't write don't phone
won't even tuck you in at night, 
Oh this one's got your heart checked out on loan
and it's long overdue, 
its pages are rumpled, some of them crumpled, and now
 it might just even
smell like mold.

And you ...</description>

		<description>it is the phone call allotted to me
with no space for my voice he 
spouts my philosophies back to me
speaking with care as if i 
need fixing

since i escaped he has whitewashed the walls
hidden my scribbles beneath
and now rewrites them word for word
never knowing he is 
only tracing

pedantic lists of ...</description>
