I bought some...

Ezra Pound


And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a fieldmouse
Not shaking the grass

-Ezra Pound

I feel we should have this close to hand. It does seem to slip through the notebooks.

Feminism



I've shown you this before, at least this way I won't lose it. It still reminds me of you even after all this time.

Yours, etc.

I Like, by The Divine Comedy

I like your nose, I like your hair
I like you clothed, I like you bare
I like your boots, your skirts and your blouses
I like your suits, your shirts and your trousers

I like your mild political stances
I like your wild spontaneous dances
I like the way you drive me insane
Morning, noon and night

I like you 'cause you're sexy
I like the sexy things you dress in
I like it when you're sitting next to me
Whispering sexy things

I like you 'cause you like me
I like the poems that you write me
I like the pictures that you thoughtfully
draw for me
They make me look all right
Oh yeah, I like, I like, I like

I like the way you make me laugh
(make me laugh)
I like your brain, both left and right half
(both left and right half)
I like the songs you sing when you're bathing
(sing when you're bathing)
I like your dog when he's behaving
(when he's behaving)
I like your car, you curse like a trooper
(curse like a trooper)
During a hard reversing maneuver
I like the way we kiss and we make up after a fight

I like you 'cause you're sexy
I like the sexy things you dress in
I like it when you're sitting next to me
texting me sexy things
I like you 'cause you like me
I like the poems that you write me
I like the pictures that you thoughtfully
Draw for me
They make me look all right
Oh yeah, I like, I like, I like

I like you 'cause you're crazy
I like the way you do whatever you like
It constantly amazes me, baby please stay with me tonight
Oh yeah, I like, I like, I like!

Go there! Do it now!


Yours, etc.
