B is for A Bullet on the Water (an ode to Deep Cotton)

*This is what happens when you spend the day with DEEP COTTON [click for link] on repeat. Then, while standing for a taxi, some shmoe's cigarette smoke whistled in my direction. I already have a lung problem, now second hand smoke? I don't think so.

Stand behind the dragon but i still felt his breath.
It's the second hand killing that i know is the best.
It's the sulfur in his breath, the methane in his eyes.
It's the sickness that I pardon, so I can feel the lies.

Stand behind the dragon, does he know that i'm there?
At this point of our existence, does he care if i care?
Put a bullet on the water, see how it runs!
I WILL CATCH IT WITH THESE FINGERS, MAKE IT A GUN!

Let him breath, let him breath
Let him hear me cough.
Let him beg, let him beg
But it won't be enough

Put a bullet on the water, see how it runs!
I WILL CATCH IT WITH THESE FINGERS, MAKE IT A GUN!


Let him turn his gaze toward me; doesn't he know?
That what is on my chest will soon within him explode?
So sorry for you dragon, but it's time to die
Say goodnight to all the creatures, kiss them goodbye.


Let him breath, let him breath
Let him hear me cough.
Let him beg, let him beg
But it won't be enough

Put a bullet on the water, see how it runs!
I WILL CATCH IT WITH THESE FINGERS, MAKE IT A GUN!

B in Future Traditions

THE COPY: I was sitting down listening to Norah Jones’ “Come Away with Me” and I began to think about future traditions. I thought… I want to sway with someone. Sway with my lover. To this music. More than that, I want that when we had an argument (and we’d have those because she’d be stubborn and I’d be pig headed (iChuckle)) we would never go to bed angry. We’d pop open a lover’s CD like this one and just sway. We may be as mad as hell but we would sway because we would never want to go to bed angry. And our children would know this. And they would never allow their partners to go to bed angry either because… well, because they would know better. They would sway. They would know it was better to sway. That’s the kind of man I want to be. Moreover, that’s the kind of tradition I’d like to pass on. Future Traditions. What's Yours?

B is for The Hand of Gordon (Act 5)

5. The driver egged him on. This was the third bad drive that Gordon received at the hand of the demon with the driver’s permit. But… neither the speed limit nor his attitude changed. The demon's finger went up again. Gordon smiled, again. He shook his head. The civility of his action denied a certain truth. Though Gordon considered himself long suffering, his hand held fast to a young blade should the speedster lose control of his car… and his mind. Yes, Gordon just smiled.

Let's hear it for you The Miracle Worker Soul Shaper Wisdom's daughter who grew into a mother. This Lady of Perpetual Help. Ma, help! The project's due. Help! I can't find my shoe. Like some kind of psychic,she knows where all things, to whom it belongs And the condition in which it came... The side kick's calm refrain: "thanks... mom." Problem solved. Peace reigns. She from the line of Eve May not have had the chance to leave and cleave And while some think her weaker WE know better. A Mother. Made stronger by her God whether or not Adam stood beside her. A perpetual  help in times of chaos Walks another mile so that you could take the bus. Silencing storms is the norm So we think being superhuman IS... THE NORM! But even heroes get ...
