 Someone said I ought to try this, so here we go.

Lawyering is changing the world with words, eh? Well there's a broad definition if I've ever seen one. Changing the way the law regards an individual or class of persons, thereby changing the way the law dictates others' interactions with them, is one way to change the world with words. Lawyering? Sure. But what about changing the way an individual perceives another person or class of persons, with that change in perception affecting the way they interact - that's changing the world (at least a tiny portion of it) with words as well. Lawyering? Who knows.

Well I'll be damned, got another one. Eben said something today regarding disassociation, and I think the speaker in this is nothing if not disassociated. And, yes, that is a nod to Thomas Wolfe in the title! (Also, had to go with the wiki formatting on this one due to the lack of italics in the other mode. It stretches out the poems, and irks the hell out of me, but I suppose it's alright to fit with the trend in this one.)

Conversation With My Angel

I’ve said this

so many times before

I should write this down


I’ve said this so many times

before I no longer know

where to begin, I’ve said this

so many times before

I no longer

know what I’m saying,

if these words have any


meaning, wont you tell me

I know I no longer love

you, I love who

you were, no longer

are, and don’t know

you at all, know you

hardly, maybe,


I’ll always know

you, who you

are or were

to me at least

what that meant
