vintage angst

Posted by rice_monster | Labels:

white car
drives past
tires tread
on an old love shunned
by you who sits
staring straight ahead
at a destination
that will now be reached alone

liquid crystal,
doing a slow dance.
on the invisible barrier
separating indoors from outdoors.
its smooth tango,
reminds me of a tune
once hummed a lot,
but now lost
in a choking throat.
why is my cheek wet,
when the rain is outside?

cardboard cutout, folded wrapper
crumpled heart tossed out the window
but like a paper crane...
i
choose
to
fly

Surreality

moonrise to my right
sunset to my left
i'm caught in between
a time neither day or night


awed
luna ascending
bidding helios goodnight
her pearl cloak edged in his champagne paths

i float on my back
i stare at them
forgetting to breathe
bobbing in the waves
deciding who i think is more beautiful today
but no one wins

better to sink into the aqua ice
watch shadows play
perhaps tomorrow
i'll know

is covered by hazy clouds.
i squint at the inky black ceiling of the world,
dig my toes into the cold, fine, white sand.
my ears don't sift any of the words,
they wash over me...
like the scent of powder and beer.

Sewing Maniac - Episode One

Posted by rice_monster | Labels: , ,

Yesterday I was soooo excited to use my shiny, vintage, imported from Iloilo, sewing machine. Everybody! Meet my Singer! *woot woot* She's pwetty, isn't she? Just like an excited little girl laying out Barbie in her dollhouse, I was giddy in setting up my room for my first run. I turned the lights on, turned the AC on, turned the radio on, laid out all my materials, threaded the machine and then sat on my pink-cushioned chair with my hands holding the cloth underneath the needle. I gave the wheel a spin, stepped on the pedal and shrieked in delight at the whirring sound....then...wait for it....


nothing happened.

Oh crap. I kept trying to run the cloth through but it wouldn't move! Then I saw that the needle wasn't moving so no way was the cloth going to go through. But the pedal was moving so what gives???? Hmmm, after breathing fire through my nostrils, ahem, i mean after closer investigation, turns out that the machine belt linking the big wheel to the little wheel wasn't working. You see, the pedal is linked to the big wheel, the big wheel turns the little wheel, the little wheel moves the needle. That's my idiot guide to self on how my Singer works. I tried in vain to get it to run but nahhhh, I'm in over my head on this one. So what else could my sew-itching hands do? Calmly, put the cloth down, then turn around and change my status message on Facebook. Episode one of sewing maniac - epic fail.
