No, I mean can you really?
Because I don't believe you can.
I want to believe but something holds me back.
A nagging, tugging that keeps me in one place. I look down to find my shirttail stretched and wrinkled and greasy hand prints all over my jeans.
STOP IT!
I can.
No you can't.
You never have.
You never will.
Not really.

At our backs the castle door,
others feel free to ignore
this extension of extended metaphor
On the porch swings where we sit,
quick of tongue and fleet of wit
games and poems to submit
Open books in open hands,
poetry from other lands,
lyrics from our favorite bands
A telling word, a single note,
and meaning in a random quote:
significance of what we wrote
Different cultures and aesthetic,
for this we're not apologetic!
We are just beyond poetic!
Killers, X Files, Broken Bride
never are these words denied,
here they often all collide
from the early light of dawn,
as we used to, still wait on
the random poetry anons
Jack White, movies, TBS,
have you wisdom to profess?
Here, the answer's always "Yes"
Here we play, by words transfixed,
Haiku and pop culture mixed,
nothing broken, nothing fixed
Here is truth and here's creation
joy and horror, pain, elation,
in a story, small salvation
And here is laughter, here we're free
to be whatever we may be
and though others may disagree,
we greet the castle, greet its lord
and do so of our own accord
and shun the frothing, rabid horde
Be it known I'd so much rather
read my friends and all their "blather,"
on the porch here, where we gather.

Go With The Flow
This River Is Wild
Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild
The Killers

any poor souls
who trespass against us
Whether it be beast or man
Will suffer the bite
or be stung dead on sight
By those who inhabit this land
For theirs is the power
And this is their kingdom
as sure as the sun does burn
So enter this path
but heed these four words...

PP..Who? PPU?
I know of no PPU.
Nope.
Never heard of them.
Oh wait....
There was this little pet pony that I used to have and I glued a horn on him and told him he was a unicorn. Silly little thing believed me and thought he was magical and shit. He ran off to save the world.
Haven't seen him since.
*sigh*
*hops on swing*
Weeeeeeeeeee!
*sigh*
*tries to unwind*
*fails*
*starts singing to self*
Hi :)

Are you poking fun at PPU? Don't!!
Oooh, I hear The Killers on MTV, NIIIIIIIIIIICE!
Mr. Brightside
Hey RW!
I was hoping for some compay out here. It was getting a little thick in there.
What ya doin?
Have you had your baff yet?
Solly said...
Are you poking fun at PPU? Don't!!
It's what I do. Deal with it.
PPU ♥'s me for it, too.
Hi RW! I ♥ you like sooooo much.
Hey guys. :)
*tackles Mustard*
What you doin? Huh? Huh?
I have no idea!
Going crazy? ;)
Good, let's go together!
Want to?
Of course you do!!
Oh wait, you have no choice, you are tied to me. We must go together. How cool is that shit? Yeah, I know. It's the coolest. I am so in one of those talking talk talk moods.
I have not had my baff yet, Solly. But soon!
MUSTARD!
I'm not gonna smack you anymore now that I've finally seen it.
^_^
*squeezes S&V* :)
Hi Porchies *swings*
Not like that dirty birds!
Hi Lucy! :)
Hi Mustard! :)
I'm in the mood to just sit here and soak it all up. I'm not feeling very talkative or argumentative tonight, so I think I'm just gonna hang out right here on this porch step. :)
*pokes Mustard*
What's the matter, huh, huh?
Tell me.
Hi Lucy!
Oooh this is like old times on the porch!!
Porch smiles!
Hey, RW! Hey, Lucy! Hey, SMOOOOOKE! Hey, Sdock!
I ♥ the Weird Al Frankovic video. It was totally great.
Nothing's the matter, just feeling quiet! :)
Me either, Mustard.
I'm gonna go take a shower and I'll be back in a bit.
You comin' with me, RW? ^_~
*hugs Mustard*
Okay, I will sit here with you.
Damnit, I wanted to baff with RW!
Sure thing, S&V! :) Shall I bring the soap?
Sorry, Solly, I'm not baffing tonight :( Tomorrow, perhaps?
RW, how many showering partners do you have? hey? hey?
*sighs*
*puts face in hands*
I guess.
Too many to count, Lucy.
I am very very clean!
Be back in a little bit, guys. Don't leave me.
I'll bring the bubble baff, Solly. And a rubber devil duckie! :)
I suppose I'd better go to bed. Grrr..damn timezones. Love you all and will speak to you in the morning.
But.. I must leave you, Solly. I have to go shower!
I shall be back soon though.
Or very very dirty!
Night, Lucy :)
Me?? 0_0
I think you're mistaking me for Fimmy.
Now, I am backkkkkkkkkk! Is anyone still around?
ME!! :D
I haven't joined S&V in the shower yet.
*sigh*
Did you ever have one of those days where you were so busy but you didn't really accomplish a fucking thing? Like you just sort of moved the shit around is all. Kinda poked it with a stick. Did you ever have such a weird day that you don't know if you want to run away laughing hysterically or curl up in the fetal position start rocking and cry yourself into tomorrow?
Yeah?
Because I am having one of those days. And I am almost 100% positive that tomorrow will be just like yesterday and today is still dragging it's ass and it won't matter that it's over because I will wake up like Bill Murray and it will start all over again.
Yeah. :)

Yes. Like last season at the opera where we had to spend every morning reworking the steel hooping in the La Traviata hoop petticoats because they didn't store them properly at the theatre & they got warped during the night. It was a week where I had to learn to shut my mind off and just work on automatic, because if I thought about it at all I just wanted to scream.
Gosh, my answer was right to the point, but yes, I have those days pretty much every day. I'm just used to it by now, and that's pretty much pathetic, I guess would be the best word?
Grrr, I am going to have 3 more days of days just like today at the very least. I don't even want to stop and think about it because I will go crazy.
Awwh, Mustard, are you having one of those days where you feel like we'll never figure it out? Because I am. I guess that's why I was so chatty in Mayo's earlier and on here. It's just easier to keep talking and I can almost convince myself that I got this shit under control.
I don't though.
Not even a little bit.
Control? What the fuck is that?
Hi Solly! Hi Princess! Hi Mustardz, LL, RW, baff & other Porchites! ^_^
How's everybuddeh tonight?
I don't know what today is. I think my mind is tired of trying.
Nikki!
What you doing? How are you?
Mustard,
When I have those kinds of days like the one I am having now I have to make the effort to listen to myself. You see, you can't fool yourself on days like today. Yourself knows what fucking time it is and it's calling you on it.
THE BITCH, she irritates me. I don't like to have to listen to her but if I don't she will nag me and push me and poke me and make me feel shitty until I do.
Hullo, Sis M! :)
Long time no see, eh?
My puter is still broked, so I'm not around very often. :(
Doing some work at home, and thought I'd pop in and grope- er, HUG everyone. Yeah, that's it. ^_~
Love the buffalo! (I live about 1/2 an hour away from Elk Island Park, the largest free-reign buffalo sanctuary in N. America. I luff the big fuzzy babies.)
That's Leebert, Sis M :) I picked him up in Saskatchewan.
Saska-Scooby-Doo! I love Saskatchewan! :D
Thanks, RW! ::hugs Leebert::
He's gorgeous! ^_^
We're going to drape him in shiny things!
Nikki!!
You must get your arse back here on a regular basis. You must.
*makes fists and starts banging the porch post and stomping feet*
Oooh, yay! I have a tinsel boa that would look great on Leebert... ::digs in closet::
They are trying to lure PPU back with jealousy, I think.
But Solly, I don't think that PPU would agree to wear my tinsel boa. But Leebert would!
Leebert's a glam buffalo! They run free on the Canadian prairies in great sparkly herds.
Hmmmm, good point, RW. I dunno though, PPU can be a good sport. But the tinsel boa might be stretching it.
"They are trying to lure PPU back with jealousy, I think."
Well, it worked. I can not possibly be replaced by a buffalo, one named Leebert, no less.
You ladies already hit the sack?
Solly, Solly, Solly...
Lack of PPU is damaging your mind.
Have a football?
*rubs eyes*
No, it can't be!
Could it??
*blinks*
I agree that Leebert is not as sparkly as a purple unicorn, but he's getting there.
Hi, honey buns.
Ha! I gotchoo now!
*squeals with delight*
*squeezes PPU*
Is that too mushy gushy?
Do you know how much you have been missed around here?
I thought little PPB was going to lose it.
RW, are you attempting to make me get into a jealous rage? It is working!
Hi, sweet PPB.
Uh oh, PPU!
PPB has captured you now!!!
I knew you were gonna be jellluzz!
Haha, what ya been up to, o elusive one?
Lose it? Because she did not have a sweet, innocent unicorn to pick on?
Okay, I just gotta make quick little sidenote - HOUSE SUCKS.
I don't know what the hell they are thinking.
Okay, anyhoo.....
I have just been busy, PPB. You know how it goes.
But I missed my gang...and I mean that in a strictly non-Crypts and Bloods type of way.
Sorry, PPU :/
Well, not really. It worked, eh? Awesome!
Well, that and because the great eyeball of doomdom keeps staring at her.
You know it kills her to admit she was missing you.
PPB doesn't get all mushy gushy like Solly does.
So, how are you?
You don't know how much I miss picking on you, PPU! ^_~
I got so used to doing it on a daily basis and then the freaky eyeball thing and then you disappeared.
Gah! I was like, NOW WHAT?
Smoke,
I got lost trying to sorta halfway watch House with my back turned to the tv. I might've missed a thing or twelve. Oh well..
BlogBelieve is so much more satisfying.
I am great, Solly! How are you?
PPB, do you still have the Eyeball of Doom? If I come here tomorrow, will you be around?
But I missed my gang...and I mean that in a strictly non-Crypts and Bloods type of way.
Bwah! And talk like that is exactly why I've missed you on the porch! You make me laugh.
LOL.
Hahaha! It's late and I'm getting silly now.
PPU,
See, I told you. It was just like I said. She missed you.
Of course, nobody missed you as mush as I did.
MUSH? What the fuck?
MUCH as I did!
Thank goodness for proofreading.
Hey you know what? I've been chancing it here and there so I'll look for ya, okay? ^_^
It's gonna be soooo much fun. OMG.
Like the most fun evah!
PPU and PPB together again.
The Terror Twins. Niiiiice.
PPU,
I'm smiling now. YAY! Stuff is shitty. Work is.....well, we try to refrain from talking about work on here because it can get you fired but you know how it is.
But thanks for stopping by here and making me smile.
I missed you girls too. Truly.
Alrighty, I'll leave you all to catch up now.
Princesseseseses have to get their beauty sleep and all.
Sweet dreams, RW!
Sweet dreams, Solly!
Sweet dreams, PPU!
Sweet dreams, Leebert!
Sweet dreams, Porch!
Terror Twins? I love the sound of that! Well, I will definitely look for you tomorrow then.
I am off. Have a good evening!
Awwwh, but you're back now and that's all that matters. BlogBelieve can exhale a calm breath of something and everything is back to normal again.
What?
Yeah, I don't know. I'm babbling incoherently.
I've been doing that all night.
Night, PPU!
MWAH! MWAH!
Night, Smoke!
Night, RW!
Night, Mustard!
Night, Leebert!
Night, Nikki!
Night, Porch!
'Night, PPU
Are you heading off too, Solly?
All you Easterners are off to bedz? ;_;
'Night Solly!
'Night Princess!
'Night, PPU!
'Night, RW?
(I took a baff! Really! ::sniff:)
I'm still nosing around, Sis M :) But I'm about to have my shower.
Will you be on for a while, or are you heading off soon?
My eyes are going all +_o (laptop screen), so I might as well go get ready for House. *hugz* Have a good shower, RW! (Hopefully I can pop by again tomorrow.)
I miss you guys so much!!!
Ah, man!
I missed the damn purple, one-humped, non-gangy, multi-colored coat wearin', buffalo hatin' unicorn...
ANNNNND I missed Sister M!
:(
I will see you guys tomorrow though for sure!
Goodnight, Sdock!
Goodnight, Smoke!
Goodnight, SisterM!
Goodnight, RW!
Goodnight, PPU!
Goodnight, Leebert!
Goodnight, Champion ass!
Bwuahaha. ;)
Bye, Sis M! Have a good night :)
