Abstract (to think that lie...)
Abstract (to think that lie...)
That lie rolled swiftly off my own tongue
just like I believed it
would. (Such an au naturel thing -
like the poignant brown of my very own
shit.)
It made people smile
(as if they know the truth)
The brilliance of such a brown lie: They
bowed in respect, awed
as a regular RSVP'd mob would be expected
to do. Such lovely dramas:
fake folks knowing the love of incest
and the wedded bliss of shotgun blasts.
Yeah - they know.
But that lie.
That lie rolled off my tongue swiftly.
"I do."
Then I thought the most secret & sacred
of precious thoughts.
(Such thoughts an utter hypocrisy
of a Jehovah noone knows deeply)
"Yeah Babyboy" my mind such a maze
of fabulous colours... My very own cousin
I lust for, amazed with my very own
audacity.
"Yeah Babyboy.
I love you too..." Then I wonder
if this dream is wrong:

Ms Jacquii,
I read this about five times. This speaks to me like there is a tantalizing seductive (slightly scandolous) secrecy behind this, with so much more you could have scribed, and did not. You gave just enough, where I was captivated completely, and left starring at the computer screen, when finished reading the piece. Ohhhhh, It is wonderful, real, and raw. Many hidden passages, with subtle hints. Someone's Diary. It is only a dream, if that is how the play unravels. It is real, when you find yourself as one of the characters in the play. Clever, provacative, raw, real, subtle, real life, seductive, taboo, love, pain, mental struggle, breathtaking and ponder are the words I choose to describe this. I would love to read more. To me there is a diary, if you will, a story, that begs to be recognized. I do not know if this all makes sense to you, however, I loved it!!!
oooh I like this, so often the words "I do" are said in haste or for the wrong reasons only to be regretted 4 years to come.
I like this dark look at the whole thing, is there a back story to it?
