What I Am
I will never be an ice queen.
I encourage chaos.
I live for right here, right now,
and something more than.
I want to bathe in fire
and skinny dip in the ocean in the middle of the night
under a full moon,
skin pale and gleaming under the harsh white rays.
I want to be everything, everywhere,
tasting and touching all,
always burning with desire,
always burning with desire,
always being stimulated.
I like to jump up and down on hardwood floors
in my big black clodhopper platforms,
Beastie Boys screaming “No Sleep ‘Till …”
until the cops come.
I am in love
with discovery and awakening.
I live to be:
raw, fierce, hare, fast, pounding, nasty, sick, twisted;
breathing fire and swallowing swords,
looking for pure visceral experience –
pleasure, pain,
art, history, drama,
sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll,
good beer, good bars, good food,
party people in da house,
laughing, loving, fucking, talking, shocking,
trashing shit,
going forever wild crazy free.
