Wrapped up
Feel the water against my breasts
The wind against my back
The sun burn my skin
I wrap my fingers around
It stings
Draws blood
Creeps up my arms
Drawing back in horror
Scraping at my fingers trying to remove the pain
Knowing I shouldn’t have gone there
Regretting my curiosity
I ache between cotton and air
Salt drying on my temples
Staring at the stars
I sink into the cotton
Falling faster and faster
Wanting to disappear
The more I fall the more I can’t move
Water seeps into my brain
Memory envelopes me and I fall asleep
The colors in my brain are swirling
I feel the pain in my fingers
In my brain
In my heart
In my bones
Before
The beauty was intense
Colors brilliant
Textures calling to me
Rhythms wanting to meld with mine
After
The pain intense
Blood running hot
Ache seeping from my pores

American
I am a proud American
I am proud of the men and women who give up their life to protect me
I am proud that they will die for me
In return I promise to protect them
I promise to remain here and as their watchdog
I promise to make sure their superiors treat them with the respect and honor they so richly deserve
I am proud of the men and women who give up their life to protect me

A friend let me know about a website to checkout.
www.mediamatters.com
I only had a brief moment to glance at it last night but was quite interested in it’s content. The producers seem to make sure they do extensive research on their subjects. They clearly articulate how the medis guides our countries thoughts as much as the government does. And possibly in conjuction with our government.
As I’ve seen this week, and will discuss later, media is being censored by our government. We must be diligent in our efforts to keep tabs on our government. Journalists must realize they can’t just sit in press cores and ask silly questions. They have to do under cover research. It is their job to expose people. It is their job to find out what’s behind the story.
Why hasn’t the media continued to pursue the Rove case. It was plastered over the papers for weeks then disappeared. We can’t let something like that be left to the government to decide. We must force their hand.
Indifference will be our death.
The constitution and the forefathers of our country designed a government that can evolve. I am a proud American that thinks our government model is the best ever created but it does require us to be diligent and active in the process. It allows us to control our officials but only if we participate. And not just at election time. With each liberty we ignore with lose our rights.

Subway Musings

My tank top on
My shorts hugging my hips
I strap on some music and head out into my scene
Black & White trots ahead of me
Part of the scene
With knowledge and contentment with her place in this world
Trickling ambience rings in my ears
It’s beat moving my body through the urban landscape
I feel so natural in such an unnatural place
It’s lines are so forced
It’s need to collaborate so strong
It’s desire to belong, jutting from every brick board and crack
Every sheet of glass
I grow taller as each texture fills my space
I ache with its desires for a new day to begin
I feel its energy rush through my body
My tank top on
My shorts hugging my hips
I strap on some music and head out into my scene
Black & White trots ahead of me

I feel its energy rush through my body
