Ain't Better Named: Letter to Carrie

Carrie,
Well, no great ideas came rolling in over the weekend so I'll be using unique titles for each post. Oh Boy! How are you? I'm going to imagine that your real good, that maybe you just got done directing some hot lezzie prison porn. Your probably a little bit tuckered out. Tough work making lezzie prison porn. What would you name your movie? I'd call it "locked up Sally ends up loose" You can use that one if you want, but I bet yours is going to be much better. It would be nice to figure out exactly how long it takes for letters to get to you. That way I could address each letter to the specific day you would be receiving it. So for instance today's letter may reach you on Friday. Rather than having you get a letter on Friday with a bunch of references to last weekend, I could instead just write the letter like it's Friday here too. Then again, that might not be any fun for you on account of your days possibly being all too much alike anyway. Do you have different things that happen on different days of the week? Like laundry on Thursday, Lunch Room Death Match Wednesday, Tunnel Digging every other day from 1 am to 5 am.

I'm tired today, and it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, therefore I can't mail this out anyway. I'm going to futz around and see If that poem I owe comes to me or not. If not I'm going to take the easy way out and send you various articles of interest from the internet.


Sticky Powder (an explanatory exploration)


puff of ugly drips upward
over all other smells thick and sticky
not yellow enough to be yellow
not white enough to be white

cold stomach in frozen reaction
nose moving to the opposite side of the face

dipping in cup
fingers touch and squirm
clouds form in over pour
far more fragrant than heavy



I'm not really convinced that the poem help to explain the foul smell which I could not describe earlier, if nothing else it reinforces the idea that the smell is awful beyond description. I guess I ended up defining it's physical characteristics rather than the scent. Sorry. I'll do better next time.
