blade_brand birdmad montana (maiyn) reading frAnk's review of scorsese's_the_gangs_of_new_york reminds me of the scar over my right eye it's starting to fade again i want to keep it i think it's time for a touch up i don't remember which fight first saw it opened, there have been so many, and all of the weird, coincidental little accidents that kept it fresh through no effort of my own and the inbetween days when compulsion and a hundred species of nameless despair have led me to bring a blade against my own skin it's a thin scar, the original wound was a clean slice and if i had let it be stitched it might have scarred even more visibly. pity now to think i missed that chance (trust me... to see this face is to know that the scar's no ruin...might even be an improvement) possibly the most visible of all the flowers in my scar_garden the line is fading again as all of my scars tend to do and i am out of razors i'll have to fix that soon 030117 ... axl funny, i didn't happen to look at the brand it was whatever they sold in the bookstore so students could finely slice things and examine them damned hard to examine when all that blood keeps clouding things up 030117 what's it to you? who go blather from
