morally reprehensible

Can you put it on a credit card?
"No," I said, "I don't have credit cards."
Well can you borrow it? From a friend or relative?
"What?"
Can you…
"I heard you,
you should be ashamed…"

friday I’m in love again

I eat my chili
with pico and white corn tortillas
or thin tortilla chips

drink coffee
and
eat catfish and gumbo
in August
on the patio
in the heat
of my glorious Texas summer

dress
incredibly out of style

admit aloud too much
too crass, too vulgar
yet hilarious things

touch
my friends to show my care

love
where my heart leads me
though rare does it lead

adore, glory in men
like snowflakes
on the tip of tongue
a thrill gone to soon
I let them go

and love?

De-feat is not a river in Egypt

When the wind blows
she bends and sways
and with the rough waters
changes course
day by day

but this way and that
she dances round,
dizzy and frizzy
until the roughest of winds
blow her down

sink or swim baby
though you never
were taught

you'd think she'd drown
let her life be for ought.

let me go crazy

Oh baby I know
we prob'ly ain't
ever gonna be goin
anywhere

but just the thought
of sittin still
oh I

I just wanna be
cra-zy
about you

just let me be
cra-zy

I wanna be
cra-zy

won't you let me be
cra-zy

about you.
