Relative Aperture
A smashed glass cracked
in my last careless act
catching sight off guard.
Points sparkle a dappled dance
across the hardwood floor
spreading as the day grows
and peaking at midday
then rising full in the sky
for the time I hide away.
Until evening’s effulgence
slips through severed slats
catching sight by chance
announcing a worthy time
while bringing rust to rhyme.
From lyric baring branches
pick the last pack of matches
and set alight this balefire
for grieving my darkest desire.
(As we depart, we arrive.)
p.s. thoughtfully holding the line.

Are you in the toilet anon?
Anonymous said...
Sure, why not?
But Im not signing anything!
^_^
You sure?
If you can't see anyone else, then they can't see you.
I'm sure that's how it works.
Douglas Adams FTW!
Positively sure?
ergo, i am also due to email them. oh well i am lazy in that aspect.
Anon, so, you'll do the pedicures, but no signings?
Have any songs about toenails already in the works?
L.
Sure, why not? But Im not signing anything!
AWESOME!
Not even big toes?! 'Cause not everyone can say they got their toes signed at a BB concert. Unfounded, dude.
Unfounded.
RW, do those toes ever sprout flowers?
Do you really want to know?
well done ergo, do you like it up there?
Now I'm doing pedicures?
You guys have given this a lot of thought.
Mustard,
We're gonna be BlogBelieve gazillionaires, right?
Eff yes, we are!
Word of advice: don't ask about the merch.
Taken care of though.
I ordered, like, fifty bazillion "Toenails: Rocking Your Socks Off" t-shits.
All different colors, too. ;)
40 or so smart women...of course we have, anon.
We have LOTS of ideas.
L.
Anon,
You have no idea the kind of shit we plot and plan in here. O_o
Now I'm doing pedicures?
You guys have given this a lot of thought.
Bah! We're evil. And deep thinkers.
Combine the two, and we're the weapons of mass destruction.
No pedicures man, those are just nasty. No one should have to go through that.
Err, can I tell you guys a secret?
I think I might go back to school. O_O
rght, i am going into lurking mode cos i am watching 'american gangsta'
have fun everyone
hey anon, can i just say thank you for what you did. you made me smile, and also i had less head injuries.
i really hope you are well and happy. take care, friend.
see you later eeps!!!!
And I just about fell getting up out of my chair just now and totally and my big toe totally rammed into the back of the heel on my other foot and my toenail cut into it....WTF kind of shit is that?
*True story!!
That's awesome, Jules!
What are you gonna do?
See ya, Fim.
L.
You can do massages and manicures as well anon. We're gonna work you like a dog around here lol
I think I might go back to school. O_O
Ooooooo, what you gonna study?
Bye FS!
Kapunua! That's awesome!
Jules, That's cool! What are you going to study?
Oooo!! What are you thinking of taking, K?
Bye bye, Fimmy :) Behave!
Bye Fimble!
Bye Fimble
See you later.
Bye fimmy. *Sticks a piece of paper saying 'kick me' on fimmy's back*
Anon, if you want privacy, you should close your eyes.
If you can't see anyone else, then they can't see you.
I'm sure that's how it works.
Maybe not.
Sounds perfectly plausible to me.
No pedicures man, those are just nasty. No one should have to go through that.
You don't like pedicures?
*does not understand*
can we have our names on the back?
I still want an ergo-fucking-proxy shirt.
hah I just thought of this Calvin and Hobbes shirt (you know the cartoon of the boy and his tiger?) I have, on the front upper left it has a really sweet pic of them asleep together but the back is a huge pic of Clavin shouting "I hate tortellini, gross yuck tortellini"
I think maybe I kinda sorta might possibly perhaps in some small way want to be a teacher. I've got a BA in literature and my GPA ws 3.83 and now I just have to find a place to continue.
BUT I DON'T KNOW!
Sorry, carry on.
Bleeding Chaos said...

Anon, you'll have to excuse BC. We all made the mistake of introducing her to Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a dead thing.
Now she's become a bit...unruly...
L.
I don't either but you guys know I don't like people touching me.
No pedicures, massages or anything of that nature. NO!
Manicures? If I have to.
Am I weird?
Yes.
And deep thinkers
Can I be a Depp thinker instead?
Bye Fim, catch you on a beach somewhere.
Way cool, K! :)
I'd love to go back to uni and finish off an Anthropology degree. Or take Ethnobotany. But there's no way I'm taking out another student loan to do it.
Jules, that's awesome. Best of luck with that! It's a big decision.
bye fim!
cool kapunua.
oh I love pedicures. but I am seriously ticklish :)
*passes sdock toenail clippers*
You should go for it K.
See you later fimmy.
Absolutely, GS. Deep. Depp. I see no difference. :)
I don't have the patience to teach or be a nurse. Honestly, I don't have the patience for much of anything.
GRRRR!!!
fimbel u fugly douche trin 2 get atention. ss DONT fucin like you so JUST STOP.
You don't like pedicures?
NOBODY COMES NEAR MY FEET!
I have been known to kick people across rooms because I am that ticklish.
L, lol. Totally made me laugh. I was thinking someone drugged the Krispy Kremes.
It made me behave very strangely the other night, and very frisky O_o
Now, now, 7:33 anon. Just knock yourself out with the dictionary you should have been using.
L.
NOBODY COMES NEAR MY FEET!
0_0
GS my friend met Johnny Depp as they were filming a John Dillinger movie outside her place in chicago.
- like that totally happens to normal people! I was sooooooooo jealous
but he came out and talked and signed autographs and she said he was the nicest, sweetest gently spoken man.
J. is working some stuff for the new blog, so it should be up soon.
Miss T, you having a go?
L.
oh that was a couple of days ago too.
I can't even understand what you're trying to say anon. Speak English.
Fimble is not ugly.
One question:
Savvy?
YES!
J. is working some stuff for the new blog, so it should be up soon.
Oh, Lord that sounded bad...
J. is working ON some stuff for the new blog.
L.
Wanna hear something strange? My toenails are my ticklish part.
I can't bear to have someone else messing with my toenails. Freaks me out.
My mum grabs me and gets the toenail clippers out just so that I end up rolling on the floor while she laughs hysterically.
I don't find it funny.
Captain Jack Sparrow.
I swear to God if I had to choose between the good Will Turner or the pirate Captain Jack...
Well, duh.
Original Punks said...
Now, now, 7:33 anon. Just knock yourself out with the dictionary you should have been using.
L.
hahahahahahahaha
Cap'n Jack.
"Do you have the fortitude...something something...?"
My mum grabs me and gets the toenail clippers out just so that I end up rolling on the floor while she laughs hysterically.
I don't find it funny.
THE CLIPPER OF DOOOOOM!
I think maybe I kinda sorta might possibly perhaps in some small way want to be a teacher.
Weigh up the emotional side as well, Kapunua. With the pastoral side of the job you end up taking on a lot of their problems.
Good luck though if you do decide to do it.
J. is working some stuff for the new blog, so it should be up soon.
Well if she works it right it will be up.
Miss T, you having a go?
I think I'll have to build myself up to that L.
smoke I agreeee soooooooooo hard
and I'd pic the phantom of the opera over Raoul too
For you, Mustard:
"Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?"
I hear ya, GS. Thing is I would only want to teach high school. I like teenagers. I could teach The Waste Lands, imagine? ^_^
Oh man, Jack Sparrow all the way! Will Turner was a little too callow for me, you know?
Hey anon: Pirate or Ninja?
Venom's playing now, FYI.
Feeling froggy, so I'm doing a bit of head banging.
We're missing an anon.
I just want to share something with you guys.
Awards are humbling, but they are unneccessary. When you do something for the right reasons, because you want to, and you can see the joy you bring to the heart of another human being - thats what its all about. That is a truly humbling experience.
And the best part? We can all share in that feeling. Just by doing one selfless thing every day. Easy.
"Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?"
YHUS!
I love how he messes up in the spoofs and says, "I hate that bloody line."
I hate it, too, because I can never remember it. >.<
but he came out and talked and signed autographs and she said he was the nicest, sweetest gently spoken man.
* sighs *
So lucky. I've heard he is a really nice guy as well.
Well said, anon.
L.
Feeling froggy, so I'm doing a bit of head banging.
That'll clear out the cobwebs, Mustard! Or make you so dizzy you won't even notice they're there anymore!
Excuse my spelling. That should read unnecessary.
You're right, Anon. I'm glad you shared that. I know I could try a little harder and do a little more.
Actually a lot more.
Absolutely.
Do you know how many people you've started a change in, dude?
It's really amazing to see. And we're doing it outside of here, too.
GS that is the hard part, and maintaining discipline (I am high school)
actual subject knowledge is a doddle
(I actually explained photosynthesis at the dinner table, carbon dioxide use/production, carbon neutrality etc - bet you'd love me to come eat with you! ~ scintillating lol I even drew a graph!!)
Words to live by, anon.
Nice words anon.
Truth, anon. ^_^ Animals too. :D As you well know.
Really? Thats awesome. Thanks for sharing, Mustard.
anon that is so true!
I think that one little action can ripple out like a pebble in a pond and change more people than you imagine!
You have no idea, Anon. No idea. ^_^
gnothi seauton said...
but he came out and talked and signed autographs and she said he was the nicest, sweetest gently spoken man.
* sighs *
So lucky. I've heard he is a really nice guy as well.
I've heard that too, GS. He was the one who set up the memorial service and ashes blast off for Hunter Thompson. It was Hunter's request for when he died, and Johnny was the one who paid for it and arranged the memorial. He and Hunter became good friends when Johnny played him in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
L.
Yes, really.
Some switches have been switched. I think it's safe to say that we're all trying.
Anon,
You have taught me so much.
Thank you!!
One good deed leads to another then another...and so on and so on.
And you not only make someone else happy it makes you feel happy inside.
Absolutely true, anon. Thank you. GS, were you talking about Johnny Depp?
Pay it forward.
I think a lot of us have changed in positive ways. We have become more creative, found courage where we didn't know we had it, and found we could pull each other up when it looked like we were falling apart.
THAT is what we all were brought here for. For all of us. Including you, anon, and our host.
L.
When you do something for the right reasons, because you want to, and you can see the joy you bring to the heart of another human being - thats what its all about. That is a truly humbling experience.
You make me smile so much.
L and GS I have also heard that Johnny Depp is a very nice guy. Time and time again.
Some switches have been switched. I think it's safe to say that we're all trying.
It's true. Sometimes it's hard going and takes a conscious effort, but we do our best.
I really have to go now. Its been fun hanging with you guys.
Stay safe.
You, too, okay?
Thank you for everything. As always, it's been a pleasure. See you around.
You take care, okay? Thank you for what you do.
You are just awesome. ^_^
L, it's amazing, isn't it?
Take care, anon & thanks for stopping by :)
You too, my friend. Take care of yourself, from both me and J.
And enjoy the rest of the day!
Love,
L.
Bye Anon
Take care and keep smiling.
...but we do our best.
Exactly. We would be singing an entirely different song had we not even tried. We can try and even if we fail, we still win, you know?
Take care, anon!
Thanks for dropping in and making us smile!
You too SS. Have a great day and stay safe.
It is, BC. I saw on your blog where an anon mentioned our previous bad blood, and they probably have no idea what it means to forgive and forget.
L.
Thanks for all your kind words, I'm so happy that so many of you are striving to make a difference.
It means so much to me.
Thank you, friends.
See you around anon.
You too, anon. :) Have fun, be safe, be well!
you too
nice to have the chance to talk with you agian!
take care and smile like a silly bugger, makes people wonder why :)
BC - JD, James Marsters, john Barrowman, Jonathon Rhys Meyers, I'm not fussy.
OPs - really? That sounds like something he would do. Bless him.
Ergo - as I know nothing about bsdjyuhhd, whatever you just said, I would be more than happy for you to educate me at the dinner table :)
And re. the pastoral side;
Nothing worse than telling a 5 year old they can't go home with their Mum, because she is too drunk to be responsible for that child. GAH!
Oh, bye Anon :)
L, it is. I told them that our friendship shows how life can bring so many surprises and has the power to make enemies into the closest of friends. It's incredible.
Yes, GS. He really did. Hunter was one of my favorite authors, if not THE favorite. They did the service at night, and when they fired the cannon, it started snowing, so the ashes mixed with the snow.
L.
There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
"A Change Is Gonna Come"
BC, it's true. If people are willing to try, it can be done. But there are some people who can't understand that.
L.
oh GS how sad. my aunt is primary and they as you would get notes about not letting one parent pick the child up etc. Poor kids.
mine usually involved teen counselling and dealing with accidents etc, they never teach you any of that stuff!
and I'll definately come to dinner if I'm ever nearby :)
and I can usually spell "again" !
L,
That sounds a damn good way to go :)
Wasn't it GS? Hunter was always larger than life, and that just suited him!
Ergo, did you help Phil find the hiding place today?
L.
Oooh!
Yeah, exactly. I'm really glad we're friends. You and J both make me laugh when sometimes I need the humor to cheer me up :)
Well, hello, Entropy! Back from the road? How was it?!
L.
Hi entropy
Hiya Enttropy.
Long time no see.
Dude, you are just so awesome. ^_^
Alrighty peeps, gotta go shower. I'll be back in a bit! ^_^
XOXO
GS i am so sorry to hear that you had to do that. But it was for the best. You may have saved that kids life
We try, BC. We try. YOu guys really help us as well. This time away proved that to us. If we didn't say it before, thank you, Family. You have no idea what you all have meant to us.
L.
Entropy! Is that you??
mine usually involved teen counselling and dealing with accidents etc, they never teach you any of that stuff!
Must be awful with that age group, so much for them to deal with.
I think the worst we had to deal with was one Mum who didn't arrive to pick their child up and when we rang to enquire, she said she wasn't coming because she didn't want him any more. It makes your blood boil.
bye smokie. Later everyone. I have to tend to my cramps. Ugh.
See you later princess.
Always.
Thank you again.
See ya, S&V!
Actually, it's time for my shower too.
Mind if I join you? K, do you mind if I join her?
Hi, Entropy! Later, Smoke!
GAHHH! I can't find any courses locally! This is so frustrating!
I think the worst we had to deal with was one Mum who didn't arrive to pick their child up and when we rang to enquire, she said she wasn't coming because she didn't want him any more. It makes your blood boil.
Oh my god! What happened in the end?
I probably won't be on later, so I will say goodnight to Princess and BC, and sweet dreams.
L.
I'm off to the gym I'll be back soon
Can you take any online, K?
*hopes S&V hasn't used up all the soap*
Well your welcome L. You guys mean a lot too :)
See you Ergo, goodnight all. I am going to go have dinner. Didn't realize how late it was.
Take care, guys, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
L.
Hello entropy how are you?
oh poor kid GS! It's really hard dealing with families sometimes!
L - I may have pointed out a small shrubbery
hello entropy
ok I'm really off now (and later than normal because of our visiting pal!)
Thanks Martha :) * hugs *
Hiya Entropy, long time no see.
Right I'm heading off to bed.
Good night All.
Good night Mayo.
Good night Sneaky Sneakerson.
TTFN
P.S RW - I owe you an e-mail, sorry :\
It doesn't seem so, RW. I just emailed the NY state contact for information so we'll see where it leads. :)
I'm off to watch Scary Movie 2 so I'll be back later. :)
Goodnight L, goodnight GS.
No worries, GS :) Have a good night!
Goodnight L and later S&V20.
GS I hope that mom was thrown in jail
RW - social services and the police called in. He ended up in local foster care, then moved away to live with family, last we heard they had given up on him as well and he was back in care ( he had behaviour issues ). He was never a trouble for us though. Makes you think.
I am excited for you and your potential schooling, K!
Also, I'm just excited for you. You know, being a good wife and all.
Sharpie, anyone?
Goodnight GS and later Kapu
I shudder to think how & where he'll end up, GS. It's so sad, and no fault of his own.
Night night, EP & L! :)
I'm off to shower. Back in a bit...
Those wounds will haunt him for the rest of his life.
later Rw
See you later RW.

*hugs PH back*
Thanks sweetie.I'm good =)
Gosh I haven't been around for one of your hugs in person in ages. Good times indeed.
Nope here just for a bit Mustard. Just catching up.
Ha! Was the dude hiding behind the couch or something?
*passes over Pooh legs*
^_^
I hope that my boobs are getting bigger cause of all the chocolate I'm eating!
OM NOM NOM, BROWNIES.
-A
RWWWWW =]
*hug*
PP, I know! I've missed talking to you early birds! ;)
Maybe if I woke up a little earlier than I'd have time to stop by again in the mornings! =]
Hey again, Amy!
PP:
I dunno! Not sure I really want to know to be honest!
Why hello there Amy! =]
*HUG*
Tell me, do you live in Calgary or Edmonton? For some reason I get those two cities mixed up.
Hi PH! :D
Hi again amy and RW.
Oh no, my hands smell of pp's feet.
I hope that my boobs are getting bigger cause of all the chocolate I'm eating!
Not to burst your bubble kiddo, but if it were that easy, I'd have to haul mine along in a wagon.
-A
Hallo Mustard and MissT!
PH, I'm in Calgary, Sister M is in Deadmonton.
-A
Amy, It's very wishful thinking!! ;)
lol.
Hullo, Miss T! :)
Hullo, A & Mustard! :)
Did someone say brownies??
Ohh that's what I thought Amy!
I'm trying to get my dad to let me go to Calgary for the Warped Tour in August, it's just three weeks before my 16th.
Speshul brownies.
;)
Hiya RW~
Yeah, there's brownies out on the kitchen table. Grab one before you get bitten.
PH, a woman can only dream!
-A
I've never had speshul brownies.
Are they happy brownies?
"And you can cry all you want to, I don't (BOO HOO!) care how much you invest yourself in MEEE!"
It's getting grrrr-y in my head, you guys!
Oooh brownies!
Well, when you're only a cup size 34B, then you have to dream, right? ;)
Oooh brownies!
Well, when you're only a cup size 34B, then you have to dream, right? ;)
