Dichotomy

Vacancy Filled


I'm not going to waste my time
Looking for my better half
Because I'm already whole
I wasn't created in pieces
Scattered all over the globe
That must be assembled
To achieve completion
Whole is how I started
And whole is what I am
Maybe a few chips
Here and there
A nick or two
From rough handling
But I am totally capable
Of patching those up
With a little quiet time
And a good book
A nice bubble bath
But I'm not broken
I was made of stronger stuff
Not glass or china
No porcelain girl
I'm organic iron
I'm flexible steel
My soul
Needs no mate
My heart beats just fine
In its solo state
I'm no lesser half
Of a cosmic partnership
I'm whole

Entertainment News

A new one woman show
Starring me
Watch me walk out the door with confidence
Head held high
And trip over a rabbit
Watch me change my clothes
Fifteen times
Ranging in styles
From Urban Pirate
To Mod Rocker
To the first outfit I put on
Then walk out the door
And trip over a rabbit
Who is deep in conversation
With a hedgehog
Watch me cry during a zombie movie
Watch me laugh at seeming tragedy
Just watch me, okay?
I'm needy
No- not needy
Highly entertaining
A must see
Two thumbs up
Watch me make a vow
To eat only lettuce and raw flax seeds
Then eat myself sick and sobbing
On nacho cheese and red meat
Watch me fall in love
With a guy glimpsed at the gas station
And spend the next eight weeks
Wondering where he lives
Watch me act like a human being
With human feelings
Then beat myself up
For being and feeling
Then trip over a rabbit
Who is discussing the paradoxical nature of time
With a hedgehog and a parakeet
That rabbit hates me
