DAMN IT, WOMAN !

Damn it, Woman!!! by Les Porter

DAMN IT, WOMAN!

Damn, damn it all!!!
Let’s get this straight . . .
Damn it!
Let’s make this clear!
Woman. . !

You are moody,
and fickle, and downright
bitchy –
as changeable
as a butterfly . . .

You’re brash,
and fitful,
fretful and wistful,
and once in a while just –
Mean . . !

One minute a smile, a FLASH!!!
then a frown . . .
in an instant you’re Up!
in a moment you’re down. . .

You’re a bundle of contrasts;
---- of instant confusion:--
---- a ‘semblance of Logic?
---- Hah!
---- total illusion . . !

if a Wind could describe you
we’d call it uncertain –
but more a tornado–
than simply a breeze!

Damn it, Woman!
do as you please!

You are witty,
and cheerful,
and sure,
and demure,
and often outlandishly bright!!!
the female edition
is pure intuition!
(might be the only thing i’ve got right. . .)

Damn it, there, Woman!
don’t get upset!
There’s one thing i’ll surely admit,

i like it.
i like it.
i like it.

Projective Verse -- typewriter. Mmmm.

I used to by the best bond paper you could buy. Really good paper, could with a little care, last 10,000 years -- better than the dead sea scrolls. But it does take a plan to care for the product. My plan has not been too radical. Just the note book with the steel hinges. It is old, but useable. Still. Can'gt say as much for the typewriters (I've had hundreds, purchased at auctions -- looking for the right one. I have not found the one I want to spend some last few years with.) Paper! and you do not need electricity. Same as long hand.

what's mine is mine and no one else's

I love blank pieces of white paper. Yes, I'm probably crazy. When it was crunch time to condense the contents of my life down to poverty packing size, my beloved (apparently not-so-beloved) typewriter got the axe. The dumpster, that is. Along with all kinds of other crap that you don't really need in any way, but that sort of almost define who you might possibly be. I realize now that I was too selfish (self aware?) to bother giving away my stuff. I chose to see it wasted rather than owned by another. Anyway, the female point of view would be an interesting read.

I like old typewriters.

Buying one is on my to-do list.

I hope one of the women who have read and enjoyed this, will.

And put it on its own, a standalone xombyte! What I will do, probably for nought, is try to paint at least one perspective view. But it will take time. Sometimes it takes a couple or such days or years even. Note books, old ones, are interesting, I finally got a typewriter and transcribed the longhand. Sometimes fixing things, clarifying, pitching. When the typewriter was new to me, I couldn't do very well composing to a blank sheet of white paper. Now I can't write long hand. That is, compose.
