'..got glue in your feathers, what brought you to this? a flightless bird surrounded by red-handed kids in their borrowed black sheep's clothes. now everybody's in on the joke.
so practice your boredom. look a thousand times removed.
..cos only a freak would sing in a crowded waiting room. they would turn you out in the cold, because everybody's in on the joke.
are you missing a stranger that you might have loved? do you feel that there's something, you don't feel enough? there's a perfectly good poison for the perfectly numb, if you want some.
but naming the feeling..it just, it kills the charade. and if flowers should bloom upon your wallpaper face, it will follow you everywhere you go, because everybody's in on the joke.
desire only burns, and envy's always green. a mind can only race, and a heart; it can only beat. there's these towering neon signs we must uphold to keep out the blackness and run with the blue. now only a fool would sing as if he's telling the truth. could you swallow down that lump in your throat? because everybody's in on the joke.

  1. I love the headband you are wearing in the pictures above! Did you make it?

  2. Thank you !
    It is a headband by Gail Sorronda that also came in black.
    I bought it at a sample sale but keep an eye out on eBay - I've seen it pop up there from time to time.
    You could probably DIY though..it is a sort of thread wrapped around something sturdy / bendy with elastic looped through the back for securing :)
