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! :)
