blue (the masking poem)
based on some old feelings | I Didn't Say That Out Loud
keith urban sang that blue wasn't my color
but he doesn't know how well i wear it
twisting through my veins
and going out into the world
as clothing and hair just so
a smile that illuminates
and makes the stars jealous
(for i look as beautiful in blue
as i do in yellow)
eyes made up of thunderstorms
because even blue has power
a storm
drowning me
underneath the surface
of the calmest oceans

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
