top of my game!

I had a good day today. Its been so good that i'm back on the blog-o-sphere! ;)

The euphoria, I think, is a result of the salsa. I am still spinning from my one-hour salsa class, which comes twice a week. But next week I'll be going to india, which perhaps means less salsa. Unless I can convince my cousins to take me somewhere in mumbai where I can shake a leg. :) yay yay!

I've also had a good poetry day. I'm in this writer's circle and the exercise this week was to take this bunch of spanish-to-english phonetically transliterated words, and make a poem out of them. I was nervous when I began writing but when I sat my ass down to it, it turned out pretty good.

This is the result:

O vine, o petrified plant,
disco into a tunnel,
and out comes a trance:

endearing banjos lost in dance –
marry an azure blue
with lime. O vine,

divine, o
petrified plant. Come invade me
like jaguar-sound letters,

Dreamy navigators,
that discover numbers, in chambers
of calcified curtain: bones of mine.

O vine, prelude to quaalude,
divine, endure and tear and dance,
number me till days

slip and denavigate, laconically communicate,
evanescence crucified, petrified,
multiply and divide, pliant plant.

***

so, that, and I've been watching a lot of scrubs lately. "I can't do this all on my own...I'm no superman!" except i'm feeling wheeeeeee! :)
