B.P. (Bad Poetry)

I was born with a bird's nest in my chest
there were three eggs in it
two grew to be lungs
the other a heart
the lungs are land birds, like ostriches
the heart finally developed wings after 25 years of malnourishment
it is trying to fly
it wants to leave
perhaps this is why brewster mccloud is so dear to my heart
he is my heart.
fluttering, beating, beak-banging, rib-cracking,
pounding, breaking, scratching
heart, you cannot leave
you're my bird
i will feed you seeds and lard
and give you water
chirp when the girls walk by
bathe in my blood

all the single ladies

have boyfriends
how'm i supposed to put a ring on it if i like it?
okay i'm gonna go puke now

Nacho Diaries 2

driNk Nachos
Yes, I went to driNk for the first time last night. It was poker night and the bar was 3/4 full of d-bags. In addition to poker night, they also had 1/2 off appetizers and big 24 oz. mugs of yellow beer for $3. Normally the nachos would have been about $10, and it was a surprisingly small helping. Chips, cheese, lettuce, olives, sour cream, guacamole, side of salsa... I feel like maybe there were some jalapenos too, but I don't remember seeing any. The amount of cheese was just about perfect, but there was absolutely nothing memorable about these nachos. That being said, they were definitely less soggy than the Independent's nachos.

Zodiac/Crime

I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on how astrological signs relate to crime. It would be interesting.
