Bioi am out here studying stones// trying to learn to be less alive// using all of my will// to keep very still// still even on the inside// i've cut all of the pertinent wires// so my eyes can't make that connection// i am holding my breath// i am feigning my death// when i'm looking in your direction
'course numb is an old hat// old as my oldest memories// see that one's my mother// and that one's my father// and that one in the hat, that's me// it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon // when i got out on the open road// but any more pent up emotion// and i think i'm gonna explode//
there's never been an endeavor so strange// as trying to slow the blood in my veins// to keep my face blank// as a stone that just sank// until not a ripple remains// i am high above the tree line// sitting cross legged on the ground// when all of the forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted// that's when i'm gonna come down
-ani difranco, studying stones-
that's me in a nutshell. at least, this month. :op Try back again later, p'raps it'll be more enlightening. But don't count on it.
