fucking grammar

damn, i really let this go for a while. ah yes, the blog...how are you?
what to do? when u feel it all? can't type when typing is breaking. clap of cowbell. if i am obtuse, forgive me. i was only going to stay a small while. nonsense for no reason, isn't it? oh so often. soften. this one in that.
try this: make it fast. begin at the top of my syntax, loop fingers like pocket-holes, stay in close contact, full out rebellion. the light that hurts to see. i cannot tell u what i mean. bending the corners to fit a different place where my concerns are apparent. i curl at the edges. fins of transparent red fish. a gill, breathing.
walking in the evening, a similarity is countering. a wall is hardening. mortar and spackle. semi-soft appetite. the star-like light of fireworks. the ripple of reflection and trying to make sense. the failure. the repetition of slight water. a most constant ringing, a welcome lie. to turn in a circle: telling the thing from the inside, out. eye against eye. sucked into water-funnel, funnel-cloud, tornado, maelstrom. after effect, on the avenue, the way the sun shines now.

Yep!
That is why I have declared more
than once:
I rather kiss a snatch than snacth a kiss.
Or a woman needs a bicycle, just like a fish needs a man.

Almost forgot. A blog should have at
least concepts, ideas,a word, a sentence here and there to make
me think/ponder/wonder..

Many beautiful blogs of bad poetry, worst fiction, properly written...
with superb images, syntaxis, semantics, grammar are just words
thrown at the keyboard with elephantines egos wrapped in a calcium shell.

See you there.
