And I do not want what I haven't got

Aspiring to be Different

Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Perhaps it all began when I was but a child, six years, maybe, watching Saturday morning cartoons —specifically, Bugs Bunny donning a dress and a wig. I was enthralled at the transformation. This, I decided, was what I would aspire to. That’s as far back as I can recall about my “difference”.

Her tongue could be red chili

Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Published in Poems by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

The summer I discovered power
the ink flowed dark and freely from my pen
like a river of moon’s blood.
I discovered what was between my legs,
wore no undergarments
and made peace with chin hair.

Watch What You Ask For

Published in Jokes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)
Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.

I think I had met my match
He was singing
And undoing

I'd say to the wind when it took me away


"That's where I wanted to go today."

Time to caress my (space)

Be Daring, Be Different
