Dear London

My heart goes out to you and my thoughts are with you. I'm sure all of americas thoughts and prayers are for the victims and their families right now. I do hope they catch those responsible quickly.

Poetry:

Excerpts from Jim Morrison

Have you ever seen God?"
-a mandala. A symmetrical angel.

Felt? yes. Fucking. The Sun.
Heard? Music. Voices.
Touched? an animal. your hand.
Tasted? Rare meat, corn, water,
& wine.

------------------------------------

Ladies & gentlemen:
please attend carefully to these words & events
It's your last chance, our last hope.
In this womb or tomb, we're free of the swarming streets.
The black fever which rages is safely out those doors
My friends & I come from
Far Arden w/ dances, &
new music
Everywhere followers accrue
to our procession.
Tales of Kings, gods, warriors
and lovers dangled like
jewels for your careless pleasure

I'm Me!
Can you dig it.
My meat is real.
My hands--how they move
balanced like lithe demons
My hair--so twined and writhing
The skin of my face--pinch the cheeks
My flaming sword tongue
spraying verbal fire-flys
I'm real.
I'm human
But I'm not an ordinary man
No No No

---------------------------------


Song Lyrics

We held hands on the last night on earth.
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.
It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated
along the bottom of the river.
So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
and the shattered seasons lay,
and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease.
In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes
of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
if you would accompany me in a quick fall,
but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't for two.
I rode alone.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty,
bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city.
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message.

Radical,vegan/veggie/queer/trans friendly animal lovin house

I've been looking at roomate wanted sites for the move to Oregon. I figured sharing space will make the transition and going back to school much easier. These are some of the actual adverts. Hmmmm decisions decisions...

$215 - radical, vegan /veggie, queer / trans friendly, animal lovin'.......

We are a collective household, made up of 2 womyn,3 guys, 2 dogs and 2 cats. we are looking for another womyn identified person. we are politically radical,mainly vegan ( we cook some vegetarian things in the house but no eggs). we re into dumpstering, gardening (kind of permaculture style,in our double lot, which we re just getting started on), bikes, music, diy living.

I didn't know there were such things as Nazi Vegans.

we dont drink much ( especially not in the house), and some of us not at all. we re looking for someone who s into open and honest communication and open to working on their shit.

If there was ever a line so resplendent in simple trashiness to completely negate the possibility of a sufficient sarcastic response.. nay, not even that! It speaks for itself and requires none...

we have a shak and a trailer in the yard which are lived in. we re queer and
we re trans friendly.

we need someone who can be respectfull of the humyn and animal friends here alike. our 2 dog friends here are shephard crosses and tend to be a bit barky. not obsessive but they do like to protect the place. also when having new friends over for the first couple of times it can take a good 5-10 minutes to help the dogs feel comfortable with them, and this is something that each roomate is responsible for. they are in no way vicious, just wary and scared of some newcomers, especailly guys, as one of them came from an abusive situation. but unfortunately, we dont want to have any more animal friends here.

please contact us if you think you might be interested in joining our home


Seeking 2 Fabulous People for 2 Groovy rooms!


I have a vision for this place, and am looking for people who resonate with that vision. ......I am creating a living place that flows with positive energy, both of laughter and peace, creativity.......

My chi is practically re-aligning itself..

I am going to be doing some natural building and permaculture in the house/yard. Are you down? Light clay/straw wall for my bedroom, cob wall around the front yard. I would love to have people around who are interested in this way of building, who would like to have natural plaster on their bedroom wall, who like mud.

There will most likely be a kiln available on site, a small basement for clay?, or other such things. A garage, a roofed concrete area, soon to be clothesline. I eat meat but rarely cook it in the house excepting fish. Don’t watch TV, my bike loves me, Burning Man (Black Rock Boutique, yo), City Repair.


I can almost smell the patchouli oil.

But I tell you what, it still beats the shit out of "Strong Christian Household has room for Closed Minded Biggoted Fundamentalist, Fags Not welcome". Can't wait to get out of here even if it means I have to grow out my pit hair, create hemp rope macrame plant slings and knaw tofu.
