winter gift for the heart (classic schneider party killer)

Pablo Neruda

I can write

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."

The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like this, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.

To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.

That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.

As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.

The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.

I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.
Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.

like someone's watchin me

come on now, how many pieces of evidence do we
need to take a guy down, I mean is anyone doing anything, how can
we as a nation get bill clinton to the point of impeachment for
getting a nobber under his desk, and we can't nail bush for going above the law and spying on his own country. I mean we might as well have nixon as our president, same animal, same beast.
when people tell me "ohh it is to make our country safer..." bullshit, it is just another way to control exactly what is going on in our country
control exactly what people should do and think and feel.
our country was formed as a melting pot of different religions, races, and ideals, and if we all of a sudden go back on that truth, we might as well still be a colony of england. How can the fuckin right-wingers go ape-shit over protecting their right to own a gun,(in case any red coats make their way over the atlantic), but can't say a thing about having every electronic and phone message scanned. Looks like paul reverie would have been toast. We would have failed during the american revolution if all of our messages had been "pre-viewed"
and lets look at the list of groups that have been called terrorist agencies...
PETA, Greenpeace, and the Catholic Worker's, which they called somewhat communistic??? listen here

"no not hot...cold...damn cold..."

damn, its fuckin cold outside...
"from my cold dead hands..."
whoa moses take it easy..

the sweater party was better than ever
and I am glad to see all who made it out
I was properly bombed by about 10:30pm
(when everyone started getting there)

I had the typical ADD schneider pace/walk from one side
of the apartment to another/ start a million conversations and
never finish one/repeat/repeat/repeat

so we treated all of our windows with window treatment
used the plastic that is meant for outside windows, and tape the edges of
our doors and placed mats under every door and it is
still freezing, we got the thermo set to 72 and it is still cold

what the fuck
we got that shit sealed off like in total recall
in the mutant sector, when cohagen cuts off their air

there must be some kind of giant worm hole somewhere we are
not looking

maybe it is in our sink
where the beast lives

Waiting to hear the ghost of Vietnam

I have so reason, what so ever
why we should not just pack up our bags
and leave iraq

it makes no sense to stay there
and increase the desire for insurgents
and terrorists to enter the country

things are already bad, and how much worse could it
get if we left the region.
would it cause the region to hate the US

no worries we have already established that

we would simultaneously bring the entire world back into
the arena, save our troops lives, and save billions of dollars.

We could move troops to kuwait, saudi arabia, and elsewhere
and then enter the country if a civil war explodes
(which is gonna happen if we stay there or not)
by leaving we will allow the country to start taking
care of itself, end the constant threat of our military
and again if conflict envelops, give the UN an opportunity to enter
this war and help solve the problem, like they have to do
in every other country that is having a civil war,
congo, haiti, somalia, sudan...etc.

if we are staying in the region just because we have some
bullshit machismo notion of not backing down from a fight
then we are going to ultimately end up like Vietnam
there is no way in avoiding it
we will be there for another 10 years

and then when we leave,
the country will explode into a civil war then.

do we wait and let our troops die
or do we actually try to help them solve their
social clashing by seeing how they organize
their country.

happy holidays
