Stars are made of Hydrogen and a little Helium but on the other end tears as well as all matter in the universe is made of stars. Here's a song that might speak to you. http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/wariner-steve/two-teardrops-2923.html

Lose "whole" in stanza 2.

It's been my experiance that red heads are some of the best lays. Although I may be only half right seeing I only do the girls.

I didn't mean personal isolationism. I meant democrats are the homemakers of the country. Republicans take care of the business. So democrats are like women in the 1950s. Personally I think both parties are old fashioned.

I like your interpretation better. A much more subtle, less offensive take than what I was thinking but I think you still get the gist. For every black person trying to progress there's two more pulling in the opposite direction. Black people are still being held down by there own misconceptions of themselves and self imposed stereotypes. I was inspired by the words of such men as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Bill Cosby. The caged bird is stolen from Mia Angelo and used in this poem to represent a married or seriously involved black man yearning for freedom to spread his seed to the white pussy. You see how this is probably not what Ms Angelo had in mind. -Bwahahahaa!- Ms Angelo.

To answer such a question is as reasonable as answering whether Slimy Limeys are more ignorant on average than normals.

re: "That's because democrats tend to be isolationist pussies." In the last election, 58% of Americans with passports voted Democrat, 35% voted Republican.

"Gimme a Pigfoot" was apparently written by black vaudeville singer Sox Wilson. I meant Billie's notorious for singing white peoples' standards, like the Gershwins' "They Can't Take that Away from Me", and having people think they're authentic blues. That's what I got out of "the caged bird sings to the white feline", anyway. I can't find anything more of "The Pusher" online except a 30-second clip at Amazon, which I don't think makes it to the chorus.

I'm sure I've heard the song before but I can't remember it. I tried to find it on the web to listen to but have yet to find a sample in which she is singing. Throw me a link if you find something. The spacing and indentations are just my homage to the time honored Poemranker tradition. Who did write "gimme a pigsfoot and a bottle of beer"? I'm not a Jew. I'm Black Irish with a little Native American thrown in. Can you imagine the amount of alcohol I've consumed. I do love the blues though.

A: Divide the total number of times she's walked through the door by the total number of times she could potentially have walked through the door. The second number should be very high. A: Just make them up. We won't know the difference. A: Use mnemonics, like I knew at precisely two -or- She left at four because she's a whore. Of course, that doesn't help if you've already forgotten what time precisely you knew. You might try hypnosis, or keeping a daily planner. A: In the dark, preferably crouching.

Regarding the poem: I don't think she redecorates by keeping (or reinstalling) the original fixtures, which I assume is what tourists do in old country places. It needs a different word. Regarding tourists: Mid-desert, they will unfailingly find the biggest patch of sunlight and stand in it, blinking.
Re: To The Modern Black Standard by ALChemy	zodiac 217.144.7.195	6-Nov-05/4:31 AM
You must mean Billie Holiday singing "gimme a pigsfoot and a bottle of beer" as written by a Jew. Try Nina Simone: You know I smoked a lot of grass, Oh Lord, I popped a lot of pills But I never did touch nothing that my spirit couldn't kill You know I see a lot of people walkin' round here with tombstones in their eyes 'Cause the pusher don't care, child, if you live or if you die God damn on the pusher, I said God damn him God damn him, pusher man You have to hear it. When Nina says God damn, you know God's paying attention.

Nice. Tre Cali. It's interesting that you used an ungainly creature to represent settledness. I mean that as a compliment, and see how it works, but I always think pelicans look like they're about to fall over.
Re: a comment on Steak and Satin by Dovina	zodiac 217.144.7.195	6-Nov-05/4:15 AM
I'm sorry, we were talking about racism. Please retract the following: "negroes, the most different race from his [-=Dark_Angel=-'s]... about as different as it gets", so we can continue this conversation normally. It's a very easy thing to do. Here, I'll make it even easier: --------------------------------------------------------- I, Dovina, without reservation or qualification retract my statements of 01-Nov-05 to the effect that the black race is the most different from the white race. I did not mean that there is only a wide difference between them. The black race is not the most different from the white race. [affix signature] X_________________________ --------------------------------------------------------- Until you do, I'm afraid we're stuck on this nightmarish tangent. In my defense, I thought this was going to be resolved a week ago.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 81.151.150.39	6-Nov-05/3:52 AM
I prefer to call it gay. Firstly, thanks ever so much for pointing out that 'spastics are people too!' It was beside the point, however. I don't care how clever the average spastic is; everyone knows that 'spastic' is a common, amusingly obnoxious term for a generic retard. This is just another classic example of you instantly pouncing on every throwaway, deliberately offensive remark -=Dark_Angel=- makes, and explaining, in the most ernest tones you can muster, exactly why the remark betrayed a dreadful ignorance. The appalling thing is that even if I *was* trying to say something about spastics in particular, your 'point' would merely constitute a short diversion from the argument, because for every intelligent spastic you can find, I can find a dozen, cosmically stupid mega-disableds, who definitely would fly into the nearest mountain. So my point about genetic inferiority stands, and yours ends up in the nearest spastics home. As for the main thrust of your response, suppose: (1) On average, Negroes are inferior to Normals at X, Y, and Z. (2) On average Normals are inferior to Negroes at A, B, and C. Then in the field of X, is it not sensible to favour Normals over Negroes given no other information? And is that not a DISCRIMINATION on the basis of RACE?

Very Freudian indeed: Comes slides in slowly cocks a massive beak settles on a post sweetly coming/ deeply Peaks/glisten lapping/below I can live with the on/off rhyming. I just think it needs more info (more stanzas even) to clarify the meaning.
