    The Towel

    Wrapped in a towel she gracefully walks
    From the bathroom into our boudoir
    Her hair all wet and her face all a shine
    This lady whom I share my life with
    I have see her in gowns of the purest silk
    And faded denim with tie-dyed shirt
    I have seen her in her wedding gown
    And at the beach in a swimsuit
    But if I don't see her in nothing at all
    I love my treasure wrapped up in a towel

    Pendragon
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    My nickname (i.e. summer song)

    as a kid
    I once
    saw a cartoon
    with a talking-
    towel

    violin strings
    vaporizing streams

    I once
    had a
    friend
    with a towel
    tattooed to his
    right shoulder
    so that he wouldn't
    have to go
    without it

    Mozartian rhythms
    steamy showers

    I once was six
    and whenever I
    introduced myself
    I would say:

    "hello, I am Daniel
    but you can call me Towel."
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent
    Too exquisite — to tell —
    -Emily Dickinson

    Mind the weave when mending minds,
    Bend the winding 'round wound wounds
    To find why and end my woman's cries.
    A towel of vowels to wipe away tears
    And fears found fresh below
    Eyes of iron and blood and seawater.

    Matt. Ashley. Cameron. Will. Tyler. Emily. Jacob. They go on and on.
    Finally there are only two left: scrawny little Nick, and scrawny little me.
    It's Andrew's turn to pick. He studies us closely, like a jockey examining a horse.
    He makes his decision. Slowly he raises his hand and points... to me.
    Inside myself I cheer, pretending not to notice the broken look on Nick's face.
    Together my team and I run to grab the dodgeballs.
    For now, I am safe.
    If we find the answer, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason-- for we would know the mind of God.

    -Stephen Hawking

    Toweller's Last Redoubt

    On a lonely planet
    I and towel are one
    Wet he is hard as steel
    Heavy as lightnings feel
    I flick him at the foe

    On a lonely planet
    I and towel are one
    Dry she is soft as foam
    Draped like daylight at home
    Caressing my flesh dry

    I am alone, planet
    Now my towel is gone
    O hear my keen lament
    How love for linen went
    Loved poorly? No, too well.
    se non e vero, e molto ben'trovato

    If we can vote, I pick krymsonkyng,
    I don't think we get to vote, but if
    you vote, I'm voting.

    For you,
    more gratitude than a politician
    less than comes from a verdict of "innocent",
    and about as much as comes with waking up.

    and that is why I voted yesterday
    I may not wake tomorrow;

    but do not take my vote in jest
    I only mean, I think yours best

    Am I being voted down as judge?

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    I would not be so bold.
    Perhaps we could call it
    a petition. Cries in the
    wilderness, as it were.
    Bowing gracefully to
    your hearts desire.
    ...peace...

    Vive la revolution!
    counting coup 'til The Coup
    in a state of exhilaration
    in an exile nation
    but
    if opinions are explosive
    ours are but roman candles
    beside your smart bomb.
