homicidal lesbian terrorist

i see your women caught behind windows
in their homes, behind rows and rows
of bleached and frightened children.
They speak men's words, not their own
except those languages they've
learned to speak in secret
and in dreams, if they've
not forgotten.

i be trippin'

0324 and i'm high on java, java & trance. that would be my usual late-nite mixture of zo�-tweaking as I try to learn java programming & sort emails, drinking strong espresso clean-booted into a icy mug & listening to the musical selection of the evening, which tonite is [matrix: reloaded]. say what you want about the movies, the soundtracks are born to program [or speed, if you are automobilically-enabled, which i currently am not].

of course i also got the fun juice from watching an eppy of [reign: the conqueror] earlier this evening, so it's partly thanks to peter chung that i be trippin'. my kitten is napping on the fresh-laundered & -aired bed; my roommate got tipsy, then bitchy, then fell asleep on the sofa; i'm just sitting here like a tweaking bastard click-click-clicking the laptop with psycho beats driving me on better'n real drugs.

my mind runs like an amazing machine sometimes, but only at night ever & only after twenty-three or so. i have no idea when i stopped being able to function in the daylight hours, but again i blame my troll grandpa.

dad, it's your fault because it's your mom's fault for marrying a troll. damp & cool places; bridges; an overwhelming desire to kill humans and eat their babies; some pale and even strange tone to the skin: the symptoms are clear. late-onset genetic predisposition done drug me back into the night.

these days people think nerds are supposed to look funny so i'm not worried about it. besides, i got the internet.
