Simon Pegg on Zombies

I smell you on me
in my clothes
you’re far
distracting to know
that you need me
that I cannot be there
and I still smell your scent
on my hands
on the paper where I write

tears are oozing from my eyes
you can’t see them
they’re sliding down the inside of my skin
I can feel every tear
slipping down
leaving cold tracks
if you touch my face
you’d feel them

Truly it makes me sad that you cannot see the good and kindness that is in you for yourself. You say I helped you to see (something I shan’t quote for anonymity sake), yet you only heard half of what I said. The romance of you and your outstanding mind is a most unrivaled phenomenon to behold. I’ve watched you retreat into your mind countless times to sort through the thoughts that most people unconsciously shuffle, prioritize and dismiss. I want happiness for you. I will always remember the first impression I had of you… I didn’t know who you were then, I’m not sure I know who you are now, nor am I sure I ever will. I’d like to. I am not in love with words or blindfolded and bound self-reflected thought as you seem to be (as I said, I don’t know you and you are not yet my friend, nor I yours. I’d like to be.)

I was once a tree house
I lived in a cake
but i never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake
I was only three years dead
but it told a tale
and now listen little child
to the safety rail

Did you ever see a llama
kiss a llama
on the llama
llama’s llama
tastes of llama
llama llama duck

Half a llama
Twice a llama
not a llama
farmer llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama
llama duck

is that how its told now
is it oh so old
is it made of lemon juice
doorknob, ankle, cold
Now my song is getting thin
I’ve run out of luck
Time for me to retire now
and become a duck

or misquotes have been amusing me lately. Here’s one -

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned,” spoken by Perez in Act 3, Scene 2, The Mourning Bride, William Congreve.

We effect all the lives we encounter and they effect us. Some in small, inconsequential ways, some in profound life altering ways and often times the effect goes unrealized.
