Blue Check FlagThe natural locationBlue Check Flag by `CrumpetsHarvey
to begin a revolution
is the breakfast table.
No one is happy
at breakfast
as it is far too early
but everyone is there,
lured by
bacon/marmalade.
(If there is no
bacon/marmalade, then
it is definitely time to revolt.)
Attention! the lady of the house
demands, tapping a butter knife
on her coffee cup.
Lace up your boots and let’s march.
Ben grabs the breadknife,
Heather the greasy saucepan. Dom
whips the tablecloth from under
plates of half-devoured toast
and waves the blue checks aloft.
Imogen chants
and Ellen clangs two spoons.
At desks chairs are empty,
gaps are unminded,
shirts unworn,
tick-boxes unticked,
computers snoozing.
Tablecloths fly over the
highway, and spoon bands sing.
The Season!When the season arrivesThe Season! by `CrumpetsHarvey
it is terribly unfashionable
to breathe, to blush, to beat.
The deadest dance
is a lame waltz,
all bloodless hands, cold feet.
Oh, everybody wants to be dead!
It’s terribly modish
to catch influenza and wilt,
to bubble with cancer
take a knife to the groin,
to cascade to the ground and rot.
It’s a craze! A romp!
A lark! They say,
you’ll see the cosmos’s frozen heart,
perceive the language of stones,
and laugh
at the living, alone and inept.
It’s the season:
even the living paint themselves corpses,
bruised and ragged and white.
All of us want
to be deader these days,
to admire ourselves finished, complete,
a painting, a novel,
a famous museum,
a “look what I made, what I did!”
So put on your shroud,
for this is the season:
it’s horribly chic to be dead.
Thanksgiving Note Project 2010The Thanksgiving Note ProjectThanksgiving Note Project 2010 by `GaioumonBatou
I've held the Thanksgiving Note Project for three years now, as a means of seeing what people were thankful for, and to spread a bit of happiness around because it's nice to remember what it is we have to be thankful for in the first place. The first year, I received two fantastic sets of notes, and the second year I received even more.
This year...well you know what they say. Third verse, same as the first, a whole lot louder and a whole lot worse.
A few clarifications:This project is open to everyone. I live in California, and as such the dates for this project fall close to the US Thanksgiving; however, anyone and everyone is welcome to take part, regardless of location.
