[checking my pulse] ©2001 Alix Olson. your face crept into that space between my reflex and my resolve kinda like the crevice you don't notice til it takes down the damn wall. and now we are sitting in the window your forehead is red-hot and touching my knee and I am checking my pulse, making sure it hasn't quit on me. and I'm sorry if you're thinking that I knew what I was doing I guess what I do best is look like I am in control but tonight, tonight, I am a soft and untamed thing and I will wrap my breath around you til your exhale comes clean. I am checking my pulse I am checking my pulse. you are the buried penny at the bottom of the pool so I guess that makes me the fool diving deep for you I'll stick you in my pocket all shiny, all precious, and all not mine a hidden, forbidden treasure baby, you're the worst kind. cause underneath the surface, all things loom larger so I'm searching for your edges to fish you up, ship you up out of the water and you are that sweet wish that she's thrown I would have caught you in the air, girl, had I known. and now the space between these bodies surpasses the sum of its parts so I am crawling in-between these moments balancing words hoping I don't get stuck. and I was just thinking 'distraction' now I'm thinking distraction's a relative thing cause I was casually splashing and now I'm a casualty slowly sinking. cause in hot water, my brain just kinda puckers up and I'm drowning jaws wide open now cause my mouth it just won't seem .... + Informações

Alix Olson: a red-hot, fire-bellied, feminismo-spewin' volcano. Plus she rhymes. Alix Olson's take on modern America. How right she is... Funny and queer-positive again. =D the words/lyrics/what she's saying: Attention shoppers! Attention nine to five folk, cellphone masses, the up-and-coming classes. Attention sport utility, plastic surgery suburbanites, the agri-popping, Gucci-shopping urbanites. Attention George Clooney loonies, promise-peeper sheep, stockbroker sleepwalkers, big investment talkers, Rikki Lake watchers. Attention Walmart congregation. Super Walmart congregation. Super duperduperduper duper duper Walmart congregation. Attention shop till you drop generation. Attention nation! Enough! America's on sale! We've unstocked the welfare pantry to restock the wall street gentry. Its economically elementary because values don't pay. Yes, American dreams are on permanent layaway. (There was limited availability anyway). The statue of liberty's being dismantled - 10 dollar a piece to sit on your mantle or hang on your wall. [I'm not sure about the next 2 sentences] the small somalian child you bought from sallie struthers sisters and brothers its now or never this deal won't last forever - America's on sale. (Restrictions may apply if you are black gay Arab lesbian bisexual transgendered or female) Are there any other countries? I can't see. Are there.. any other counties?. + Informações
