Title
I want to be a writer someday.
Bio
Nearing 30, I love pitbulls and kittens. Rats are another favorite. Bukowski and Baldwin...good or bad, i love people's teeth. Always loved taxidermy, long as they weren't hunted. I want a thousand books, a house in Istanbul and half a dozen stuffed cats (once they finally leave). Tattooed nearly ten years, and now, maybe, I don't like it... Trying to get the crazies out of my head. I feel somewhere in between a wreckless hobo and a vunerable little girl...and I want to be a writer someday.

I know that the wiggle-bum dog
has his coat,
and that handsome-devil cat
fits in his raincoat
and I'm tired of it here?
And I'm collecting
sticks
and
blankets
and
I just might
go runaway
and build
a tent
somewhere.

"If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose."
~Charles Bukowski
Cool poem. Love anything that hints of Native American Folklore.
I feel I know this feeling well...
Just like a runaway
Run, run run, run, runaway.
This is filled with feeling and fun to read. Thank you.
"and i'm tired of it here?"
here is where the godawful stand against the
minimalists must be made. Minimal joy.Minimal understanding.
Minimal intensity, minimal being....

Maximal responsibility.


For?...future ...what...?...
Conscience-built house of cards.
The more cards, the more opportunities
to negae any furtive insidious invitation to ecstatic life.

Which is to be avoided.

In a sane world.

where the butler , ever insistent on not fulfilling your
present needs, teaches you the great secret we adults
must learn: delayed gratification.


gratify.

this is a word not spoken in polite company.
build a tent here.

or...

well,
somewhere...
You have style. I love them all.
