inspired by periac.

something i actually wrote a bit ago, and recently found in my notebook

my words are the structures i hide behind 

while exposing my scarlet insides for others to rifle through 

like children playing operation, 

without the electric shocks 

for those who dig too deep, or too carelessly

Words can be free flowing or follow very strick rules, they can be a mask that only presents to others what we want them to know, or they can be a microscope that tells all to whoever will read them. If information is power than words are the legs that power stands on. I always enjoy the simplicity of your writings that convey such strong messages.

I'm going for the funny bone....sorry, I thought sifting through your scarlet insides was OK...the invitation was there. I will be careful, I won't rearrange any molecules or anything. This was great, sometimes you write things and you know what they mean to you and when you display them to the general public and peoples start to comment, It becomes a case of not being so much yours anymore. Weird phenomenon. A little bit of you gets absorbed almost. Nice piece...ripe for thinking.

i remember playing 'doctor' on the front porch with marybeth...somewhere in the vagueness of vague was a sense of exploration...somehow, i don't think you're hiding too well, because this sure ain't like that
