"Then I Defy You, Stars" by The Receiving End of Sirens (2005)
The apparitions tango to the sound of their heels tapping, a procession of prosthetic limbs and mannequins. They are all perfect models of imperfection, with a marrow made of cellophane.
Strap on your ballroom best, breath in, and don't exhale. Oh, Juliet! Oh, Juliet! Deny your name, your father Rearrange the cells that form my skin, see them through kaleidoscope eyes...because everybody feigns sometimes.
Blur your eyes, Romeo. Bend the line, Romeo. Do you like what you see? Oh Romeo, where art though? I've dressed up this canvas sking and painted something colorful, just for you - self-inflicted surgery is now routine. It erases all traces of faces we have all known; we have all owned.
Stretch me over this two-by-four skeleton...
Skreeeek. So yeah, I decided since I didnt have anything wise-ass to say, I would get on here and post a serious entry. Im really excited about this summer. To have everyone back here in Savannah is an extremely welcoming thought. I also cant wait to go visit family in California, it will be good times. As with every summer, I am looking forward to this one being better than the last...it always seems as if the friendships I make during the summer are those that matter and last longer than those that arise during the year, (i.e. whiny man bitches and just strait up mental obsessive-compulsive broads in particular - and you know exactly who you are, the clues are strong enough...to the latter, i want my toothbrush back...) I have a few new buddies that will be around this summer...Little Steve and Matt, it will be good to include them in all the fun...and big Steven is around again, so another addition...I just cant stress enough how much I miss last year (even working at the golf course)...Im quite glad that I finally owned up and apologized to Colleen for everything, because the garage wont be complete this summer without her...I missed the friendship...everything with Colleen actually made me realize when Im being stubborn and something can be fixed, or whether something definitely isnt my fault...things with Colleen and I were my fault, I had this indescribable feeling all along and from the get go kinda new I was the one who needed to apologize, but didnt...which has made me realize that my problems with Brian are justified...he isnt a friend, not a good person according to my standards by any means...and I dont have that feeling of regret like I did with Colleen, its all on Brian...I was looking forward to him being part of the group this summer, but now I dont care...I realize that fewer friends come along as you age and that I should be happy with the numerous amount I have now, and accept those who have come along recently (namely Little Steve, Matt, and Big Steven again)...here's to a great summer.
