Juan Cruz Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) Oh...such memories... Let me witness to you. hormones and scripture. innocence and experience collaterals and damage Greek and double-speak Devils and humans; who were worse, the imaginary or the hypocrite? Which was which? Each according to its kind. But oh Twiggy, let's go witness tonight. Oh, Twiggy, let's not witness the truth tonight. Oh Twiggy, let's witness together tonight. Witness Twiggy tonight. Witness Twiggy Tonight. Edited August 18, 2005 by Juan Cruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Looking It Up in the Original"
I was remembering
blessed babe-a-lish-ous
Word-worshipping-women
with whom I concor-danced
around the living room
Friday nights
seven-thirty to nine o'clock
and,
praise Allah,
ever so miraculously...
(like the sun standing still!)
on the rooftop, the shore,
in the dorm room, the park,
and a grassy meadow
beneath the shooting stars
ever young, ever strong,
ever, then never, crude ends.

To a girl I never danced with...
I like to have the sunshine soul
of a smart woman before me
as I prepare for words
- thanks be to God for you.
Take twiggy, she's yours
My concordancing days may be over but...
Wyeth had his Helga.
