the butterfly
those things
which you so laughingly call
hands are in fact two
brown butterflies fluttering
across the pleasure
they give
my body

the word
poet shel silverstein understood that the minds of children hold some of the greatest insight to be found among us. in honor of that understanding, today's word is his poem, "listen to the mustn'ts".
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child.
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

the word
today's word comes from saul williams' ...said the shotgun to the head. an excerpt from the 4th chapter...
your dead ancestors
re-die
in air tight vaults
they conspire
to seduce your children
you have done nothing
to protect them
from the evil eye
i serve
a living God
she is a distorted horn solo
fingered by the hand
of a master
time's signature
has done no more
than punctuate
her curvature
