Tess voyeurism on the telephone, in rougey red. 000113
...
deb "i love you but i'm sorry"
will be twisted deviously, i'm afraid,
by the ears that yerned to hear my voice
for so lone-
i will be made a serpant,
striking all but blindly
with these venom fangs, if only
in his eyes -and that is enough-
my heart yet beats in tune with his,
each soft peal ringing more loudly than a gong,
speeding my tongue to certain
whip-snapping pain
-i cannot bear it-
but i know... i must

as soon as the words drip into his ears
i know what new hope i will have
trampled to death
-a bud living no longer than a single breath-

-a sweet poison, indeed, my love is-

"i love you but i'm sorry" will curl,
gnarling its honest, gentle sadness,
quickly becoming that which i despise:
a knife twisting the pain within you
-
and yet,
i can almost hear your soft reply,
a single tear,
quiet treamor rippling your strong voice,
a whispered, "i know"
filled with immense regret

sleepless This really is a very bad connection.
What?
The one from me to you?
No, that's fine.
I meant the one from my ear to my brain.
Why don't you try calling back later?

birdmad and when my phone don't ring

i'll know that it was you
000821
...
just another guy waiting
impatiently
for your call
time slowly falls
blessed pause
before uncertain fate
fear
doubt
hope
squelched
i think this is the end
where i move on
and my heart stays here
shattered
ring
ring
hello?

sarpedon That's one invention I don't like to use
To trap someone else
In constant conversation
Just by the low quality sound
That we call the telephone

I love to hear her voice
Transcribed into words
Knowing this is when she wants to talk
This is when she is free

capt. beefheart Telephone

Paper and wire killed my brother and my sister too
And if you don't watch out
You know they're going to get you too
And if I don't watch out
You know they're going to get me too

Telephone

Well I strangled the cord
Ripped it off of the phone
And I saw the bone
And I saw the twinkling lights
It must have been rats [?? is this right? - any ideas?]
'Cause it sure was a drone
It sure was a drag
Paper and wire killed my brother and my sister too
And if you don't watch out
You know they're going to get you
And if I don't watch out
You know they're going to get me too
Telephone

Telephone

And I strangled
And I ripped the cord
And I saw the bone
And I heard these tweetin' things
N twinkling lights
N there was nobody home
Where are all those nerve endings coming out of the bone?

Telephone

Well I ripped the cord right out of the phone
And I saw the bone
Dammed gleaming white bone
Telephone

Paper and wire killed my brother and my sister too
And if you don't watch out
You know they're going to get you
And if I don't watch out
You know they're going to get me too

And I can’t get away
And I can’t get away
It’s like a grey adder at the end of the hall
It’s like a plastic horned devil

Syrope she told me i had good telephone presentation - that i sounded sincere and focused. i thought i sounded fake and too happy.

i'd still rather hear that my sad_smileys are more expressive than anyone elses.
