" R. Smith, December 1990 and apparently robert_smith got the idea from a dylan thomas poem: Love In The Asylum A stranger has come To share my room in the house not right in the head, A girl mad as birds Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume. Strait in the mazed bed She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room, At large as the dead, Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards. She has come possessed Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall, Possessed by the skies She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust Yet raves at her will On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears. And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last I may without fail Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars. 020109 ... sabbie .:blinks in surprise:. you know, i really wish i would read things properly, instead of scanning them and jsut assuming i know whats going on. i have read 'birdmaN' all this time. how fuckin insane! now im paranoid. i know there are heaps of other stuff out there that ive made weirdass assumptions about. sabbie lives in a world of her own creation. adam might have named the animals, but i name the players on my own stage. i think i might turn the sky blue today 020204 ... sabbie the ever (non?) assuming .:wanders dazedly off singing a little song about gremlins:. 020204 ... who the fuck are you? who the fuck am i? this has really worried me. maybe i should take a rolecall of all the people i think are on blather. maybe im not sabbie afterall? gods... i wonder who i am then... 020204 ...

Anyhow, thought I'd pop in and let you know that you are fondly thought of. 020527 ... birdmad and may the force be with you too, daffy 020527 ... boils rabbits once again, i light in your branches, a reversal, in drunken a-mused moments.... yes, you are an avatar for a god which is not yourself. but gods do not choose lightly. anyhow, the things that in this moment i would like to do to your flesh must not be described in the presence of such young thoughts, though i think that you would find a scarlet familiarity with the realtions of sex_and_violence, the saliva sting in a fresh wound... no, to relive that would bring us too close to times past, but tonight, i will share with you the taste of razor tongue, the feel of icy nails in moment's heat, because you are the avatar of such thoughts, because you have them contained within you, and at this moment, the thought that you may be an unwilling participant is all the better. 030121 ... boils rabbits relive = believe. screwdrivers. lots of them. 030121 ... perched amongst the powerlines colour me flattered. perplexed, and even a bit stunned. but flattered enough to feel a definite shiver along my spine yes, even if this flight of fancy was conjured in the vapors of a few screwdrivers, and would likely evaporate just like the volatile spirits that provoked it (which of late would be apt enough)... yes, my feathers are appropriately ruffled thank you very kindly 030121 ... birdmad hdgfhbdjlasbfdbs 030205 ... irritated bird in reference to the previous post: what the fuck is this shit? 030206 ...

Hog all that employment for yourself! 030717 ... misstree reading you after silent hill is somehow more disturbing... 030821 ... z your work is consistantly beautiful. i find myself in awe of the complexity of the imagery, the literary and cultural references, the language and the ideas. i always read your work. thank you for it. 040709 ... . cool hair 040811 ... birdmad cool hair? hmm, i didn't really think so, i was just seeing if i could get the half-dead digital camera to function. with the humidity of the half-assed storm that was brewing overhead when i snapped the most recent pictures of myself, it was only moments later, even after repeated brushings and combing to tame it, that i was sporting what i commonly refer to as a "mexican afro" in that it was not as tall or nappy as the super-sized blowout afro that you might see Ludacris wearing in some of his videos, but it was pretty damn close. when it's this long, i prefer it when i can get it to fall as straight as possible 040812 ... u24 how's the tarot coming on? I was looking at: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/suggest/ and thought you might be inclined to send your artwork. 041217 ... god birds bird_perches bird_purchase cats i couldn't let her eat that bird i couldn't let that happen 050227 ... misstree you've been in my thoughts lately. strange days, o addled avian. i'll toast to you in my next excess. 050812 ... flap flap swoop splat (ow) heh. flatterer.

O!) eet's friday, i've had a weird week weirded out, tired and my glucose levels are still loooooow from the craptacle that was yesterday (BRING ON THE JUNK FOOD!!!) I told my little friend that, well-intended though he may think he is, if he doesn't back off for a bit i'm gonna make sure someone spikes his KY with menthol and Ben-gay (Down goes the whirlpool Eek! no, no) 050812 ... gja Hey you - birdmad. Would you turn if someone called that on the street? Firstly, great name - from what I read that name is perfect. Wouldnt the world be even more interesting if we could choose our real life name? I have been rooting around blather for a while now - blathe a bit and read lots more - I go through phases of seeking out certain blatherereres or topics. And, I often, and recently come back to you. Youre fine. I mean really fine. Fine is the word for you. I read a blathe of yours that got me big time - it was a scene - you and some comrades eating watermellon during (after?) work. It was simple and lovely and I read it over, twice. Thanks for that. Anyway I am not all yours - I am not that kind of guy - I am down with you. There is lots of angsty sort of Molly Ringwaldish stuff here sometimes - but you get past it, and add a more "grown up" and clever perspective. I know that sounds patronising. I dont mean it to - I mean I wouldnt be here if the gems didnt shine frome the ore, huh? That sounds patronising too. What I mean to say is that you are a noticable extra bright glint in a glowing pile of jewels and bright stones. So cheers. And, if I dont get distracted on the way I'll try and remember to give you my UPS on red too. Notes: 1) I think we may be about the same age. 2) I am sure you would like and enjoy (tolerate at worst) the indomitable, pared back and insigtful voice of Mr Raymond Carver. 3) I should make a blokey joke now so no one gets the wrong idea. Cheers Birdmad 070628 ... grendel/birdmad oi, thanks, man 070628 ... Doar thank you man. it's good to hear from you. heard somewhere....probably from you...that you are a lean mean kitty machine now. keep good care of you and yours my friend. . 090427 ... bird landlord busted me for having too many cats, had to scramble to find new homes for the little ones, but i think i did well in the homes i found... I miss the mischief, but i'm enjoying the sleep that comes with not being a launch pad, a back-stop and occasional bite-force test target for a litter of young fuzz-nuggets 090428 ... grendelbirdmad that, and, yeah... i'm a rather slender bastard now 090428 ... .angry you_are_busted 101114 ... irritable bird i'd be busted if i was the one plastering stupid shit all over the recent page, but i'm not, so do take that shit elsewhere. fuck you...drive through. 101115 ...
