Refracted Neurons

I just found this post. I had saved it from the spring of this year and never posted it. I might use it for another poem I've been working on. I catch moments of darkness in a jar screw the lid on tight, and shake it watch! the light it produces

One of my friends asked me what were the five things that I would want to discuss with my husband before I married him.  I usually just grumble at her something like, "Where the hell is he?" but, it being Christmas, I decided to humor her. Five Things I Need To Tell and/or Discuss with Prince Charming 1.  This is a very important one, so pay attention:  I will not live in a shack and help you build our dream home.  I will only live in a shack if we can't afford something better.  But, if you have enough money to buy acreage, building materials, and the tools you will need (back hoes, cement mixers, etc.) to build the house; why not just buy a small little house with heat and a shower?  I am an absolute bitch when I'm dirty and cold and I don't think our marriage will hold up under the strain of it.  Besides, I don't know how I feel about this back ho business . . . 2.  Children.  How many and from where.  I'm not too picky, but if you say zero, we

1. Posted a blank entry (whoops!) 2. Went skiing (yay!) 3. Almost lost a windshield wiper on 16 West (yikes) 4. Walked into a door (ouch) 5. Went to the dentist four times 6. Salsa danced with a bunch of drunk engineers 7. Slept on a feather bed (ooooooo . . .) 8. Wrote some new poetry (coming soon) 9. Got another eye infection 10. Visited my family twice (I'm there now) 11. Had someone spit in my face 

"I'm mad because! I have rabies. I'm really friendly and then I bite your leg, froth at the mouth, and die."-Me, circa 1997, but still true today. "If you have a venereal disease, wear a condom. If you spit, wear a sheild."-My mom after learning that someone accidentally spit in my face.

"You're energetic today." "I think it's because all I had to eat was green olives and shortbread. Maybe I'm pregnant . . . Go me! Immaculate conception! The Holy Spirit dwelt upon me, ye-ah!" "What form did the Holy Spirit take this time?" "Lots of hot men. Maybe that wasn't a dream after all." ************************************************* "That's false advertising! That's like me changing my name to 'Hot Sex.'" "You're going to change your name to 'Hot Sex?'" "It would be false adventising!" "Are you drunk?" "No . . ."

1. Someone told me recently that there is now a "vaccine" for tobacco.  If you get this shot, your body will no longer absorb nicotine.  I immediately went into a rage and was walking down the street yelling, "Where the f*ck is my HIV vaccine?  Where is my replacement drug for penicillin?"  Where is my panacea? 2. I used to always think that "This old man goes rolling home" meant that the guy was doing a log roll or a somersault all the way home.  Now, I'm not so sure.  Maybe this old man was rolling in his big old man car.  I mean, you never see old men driving fast, they just kind of cruise.  I was stuck behind this old man (not the one from the song) the other day and he didn't get over 20 mph the entire time.  I was way too lazy to pass him, so I just rolled along behind him and pondered deeper things.
