The Closet

April 30, 2007 by jgtaylor

There’s an empty spot, now, in the closet. The hangars are gone where the sweaters were. The blond at the end of the bar has stories to tell, but I won’t listen. The pony tail turns me on, the lean into things is a tease I barely notice. All I can think of is the … Read moreThe Closet

I want the lottery to be your birthday. And the smile next to me to be head i will never forget. I imagine it’s like the lottery. I’ll never forget your head.

Anything but now

April 29, 2007 by jgtaylor

“I never really loved her”, I will say to myself. It’s a commitment that I waiver on, regularly. She won’t see me or speak to me and I’m not sure it matters. My throat hurts from vomiting. the sun will never rise again, this I am sure of. It matters, somehow when a paradise is … Read moreAnything but now

Cloudy Thursday

April 26, 2007 by jgtaylor

I don’t care anymore if egos are satisfied and the sun never sets – i need a beer, badly – and I wind up on the road to a gunshot victim; it doesn’t matter at all, now, how many decent things can peek through the asphalt and spread petals wide, beaming smiles of adoration upon … Read moreCloudy Thursday

The court that thinks itself supreme risks its soul

April 25, 2007 by jgtaylor

First of all, I’m not a lawyer – I do, in point of fact, have a soul.

Second, the Supreme Court is hardly supreme, given their serious flaws in
logic.

Recently, the US Supreme Court handed down an opinion on the constitutionality
of the 2003 federal statute titled “Partial Birth Abortion Ban” that sided
with the ban, throwing out many years of commonly accepted jurisprudence.
Well, it would be prudent to point out the flaws in the logic, and further to
propose a definition with which the Court can provide clear direction in the
future.

the recruiters motto

February 27, 2007 by jgtaylor

There’s a piÑata demanding destruction, a painting in the louver crying for a slice: good old American pie and sobbing for a time when dying was proud, before the diapers, the drugs, the machines, before the Ordained Murderists of the First Church of War made dying into the laughing stock of life, rolling on the … Read morethe recruiters motto

Saving The World

January 25, 2007 by jgtaylor

Saving the world, my world, it’s a big job that no one wants: tantrums and destruction, earthquakes and hurricanes. After the raging waters subside, there’s a lot to take care of. I can save my own world – sure; but I usually play the non-interventionist god and let the treasures be lost to sea, only … Read moreSaving The World

Dichotomy of Being

January 5, 2007 by jgtaylor

It is me; It is not me: There are two sides: that which I owe and that which I want. Where may I go for what I want? I know too well where I owe; my heart craves importance, but must pay penalties as a tertiary thought of tomorrow.

Made Love

January 4, 2007 by jgtaylor

Baby, let your hair grow out to tangle me into your body; spread your fingers over my sex and pull my soul into your web of kindness and safety in moist warmth. Baby, let your eyes see soft edges free from harsh contemporary distinctions between the circle and the square where we are not separated … Read moreMade Love
