Sweet communist
The communist daughter
Standing on the sea-weed water
Semen stains the mountain tops
Semen stains the mountain tops
With coca leaves along the border
Sweetness sings from every corner 
Cars careening from the clouds
The bridges burst and twist around
And wanting something warm and moving
Bends towards herself the soothing 
Proves that she must still exist
She moves herself about her fist
Sweet communist
The communist daughter 
Standing on the sea-weed water
Semen stains the mountain tops
Semen stains the mountain tops

Stupid question followed by an awesome answer

  • laura: does "according to" and "in accordance with" mean the same thing?
  • joe: No.
  • joe: Not that I know of.
  • joe: In accordance with means that it is obeying some sort of mandate.
  • joe: Example.
  • joe: "According to Joe, bacon hats smell delicious."
  • joe: "However, Joe may only make jellybean hats in accordance with county law due to their distracting effects."

Inanimate objects that made me happy today:

Necklace my friend Allie bought me during the summer. I love a little faux-vintage (or real) thrown in with my dressy reporter clothes. I have no idea where the unicorn came from, but it’s been on my desk/beside my bed in three continents & i love it.

Writing a paper on how Nietzche’s atheism contributed to his theory of eternal recurrence. I love this stuff. Looking forward to a full day of reporting tomorrow, then it’s Thanksgiving dinner at the apartment—a couple of close friends, a turkey, pies, stuffing, mashed potatoes, drinks & the simpsons scene it. Should be a good time, pictures of the decorations & event (for posterity) after.

Be this sunset soon forgotten 
Your brothers left here shaved and crazy 
We’ve learned to hide our bottles in the well 
And what’s worth keeping, sun still sinking 
Down and down 
Once again 
Down and down 
Gone again 

Be this sunset one for keeping 
This june bug street sings low and lovely 
Those band-aid children 
Chased your dog away 
She runs, returning, sun still sinking 
Down and down 
Once again 
Down and down 
Gone again
