whammybar:

Do you believe in sexy mexicans?

if the world were to turn to ash and everything tasted sooty and gray and devastated. and the sun burned everything, well, almost everything up - and all hope from every human’s heart was extinguished. and writers forgot words and the guitar sounded like desperate whispers… even if all of that happened, nothing could or would take the belief of sexy mexicans away from me.

never forget.

Ask me anything

I didn’t ask this question, but I love the answer. You’re such a poet, Erica!

There’s poetry everywhere. I love reading the online classifieds at Craigslist, especially the personals. People open up about themselves, often in a desparate way, and you learn something about humanity when these people know they can reveal themselves completely anonymously.

Here is one , um, overt example of Craiglist poetry.

Lovely Rita, meter maid, may I inquire discreetly…? - - 62 (Fort Wayne 46807)

Healthy Hoosier, hardly handsome,
Hopes to take some tea for two.
Film club member, no sky-diver,
Twelve-grain bread but no tofu.

Children launched, careers concluded,
Baggage checked, free wings outspread;
Stressful, striving years behind me,
Playful, sharing times ahead!

German Rieslings, Swiss dark chocolate:
Glorious memories from my youth.

Now I’m back in Allen County,
Short on money, long in tooth.
Savoring our local glories:
Philharmonic, Julia Meek,
Cindy’s Diner, DeBrand chocolates,
Half-priced movies every week.

ACPL, lunch at Saigon,
Lincoln Tower, Lakeside pond;
Meijer shopping, street bike riding,
Broadway Munchie’s Gabby Blonde.

Man and Woman need each other’s humor, warmth, integrity.
Might we walk awhile together?
Click my email…let’s do tea.

Here’s a link.
