You don't have to write anything down to be a poet. Some work in gas stations. Some shine shoes. I don't really call myself one because I don't like the word. Me? I'm a trapeze artist. Sighting it and hearing it and breathing it in; rubbing it all in the pores of my skin. And the wind between my eyes, milk and honey in my comb.

-I'm Not There

To have survived, she would have had to be either more cynical or even further from reality than she was. Instead, she was a poet on a street corner trying to recite to a crowd pulling at her clothes.

-Arthur Miller on Marilyn Monroe














Hang it up Sailor
Your flag ship it burns
And it burns and it burns
You took the straight road
You just missed the turn,
You're out of gas out of gas

Put on the red shoes
A white knuckle ride
She's been denied deep inside,
And I've got a crack whores dreams upon my tail
Sweet love for sale love for sale
I just want to ride in your car

I've got a back street style to pay the rent,
I'm on my knees give me keys
And I've got a gun but the rents already spent
I'm out of cash out of cash
And I've got a crackwhores dream upon my tail
Sweet Love for sale love for sale
I just want to ride in your car


-Queen Adreena
