Princess Leia


I made
Princess Leia cry
because
I
didn't know how to cry.


Raised to believe I
was evil,
the dark side inside,
i made her cry.

She was stronger than me.
a rebel fighting the idea of empire.

she was stronger than me
she forgave me.


She gave
me something better
than some makeshift romance.

She says
that there is still good in me-

She has given me
a New Hope.

Figure 8

So some lady had eight babies on my birthday-
it was a good day as any to be born.

I figure eight babies
(all Aquarius)
are gonna need some advice.

and here it is:

Conquer this world!
take it-

[you were the center of the universe
and stars
when you were born Aquarians
and given energy and capabilities possessed by superheros and shaman envied by mad scientist- romance novelist-
hearts sensitive enough to feel the sound of compassion and mind to meditate on the invisible taste of song ]

Conquer this world!

It might take some time,
I've been working on it myself for awhile now-
but you might get there first-
after all there are eight of you and one of me-

Surprise Starwars Party



"Once upon a time in a galaxy far way", called Pacomia
(with much love, thank you )


They lept out of the dark,
and caught me by surprise-

and something unfamiliar, called- shear joy-
appeared on my face.

They lept out and yelled surprise-
and confetti and affection
fell upon me-

They lept out in starwars costumes-
cooler than you think, cooler than you imagine-
ice cold- cooler than cool.
.

They lept out and yelled SURPRISE!
and believe me I was

Dry ice, Vader, Ewoks, lightsabers, and Tequila

there was never anything like it before, and there will never be anything like it again-
(in my life anyways)

Storm troopers, Peasant, Princess Leia, and chocolate cheesecake-

Its not every day your friends will dress up in
costumes for you-
Its not every day your friends forgive you,
with cake,
Its not every day you feel like anyone ever cared.

They planned and plotted for weeks
They planned and plotted for weeks-

I had always expected they
would
one day
plan and plot my miserable end-

But this was much better,
by far,
much better- indeed

Time line (part 1)

PART 1

I am as old
Punk rock,

I am as old as
Star Wars

I am as old
Annie Hall

I am as old as
Screech, that punk from coldplay, the bigger punk from my chemical romance
dawson, smallville dude, kanye west, even pinche napolean dynamite.

I can not tell when my timeline will end, only
when my time line began,
and who is also running this race-

groucho and chaplin died
year I was born.

so did elvis-

I was born the year elvis died-
nature has a way of balancing things out.
