i sailed down a creek into a river into a bay into an ocean

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

i drifted out with the tide

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

i saw the pigeons and then i saw the gulls

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

i saw the trees i saw the reeds then i saw seaweed

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

i saw the sun set on the horizon

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

i slept on the floor of my boat and i had a dream

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

in my dream i was a puff of smoke from an old man's pipe

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

i stretched out and dissipated

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

and soon i was in every breath of air that every person breathed

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

and when i woke up it was morning

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

i looked over the edge of the boat and all i saw were waves

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

i quit my job and bought a boat

Your name is Peter Griffin.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

my heartbeats timed themselves to the lapping of the waves

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

I thought this would be a Kate thread.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

i licked the sweat off my upper lip

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

sweat is salt water like the ocean water

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

i cut my finger on a splinter

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

i sucked the blood out of my finger

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

blood is salt water like the ocean water

g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

i drifted for ten years

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

until i found a message in a bottle

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

I thought this would be a Kate thread.

Yeah, me too!

I Dream Of Sleep (kate), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

me three.

g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:51 (nineteen years ago)

me four. i would also have asked to join her. :-)))

nathalie starts to cry each time we meet (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

Aww, now I'm slightly disappointed that I haven't!

I Dream Of Sleep (kate), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

(But will the poem ever continue, Static Electricity?)

I Dream Of Sleep (kate), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

the message said "please come home we miss you"

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

"signed, your mother and your dog"

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

but my mother can take care of herself

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

and my dog doesn't know how to write

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

i had wasted away

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

to skin and bone

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

but it purified my mind

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

it purified my mind

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

how would a dog hold a pen anyways?

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

i sat through a thunderstorm

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

i licked the sweat off my upper lip

HI CUTTY

haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

waves as big as himalayas

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

and i swear i would have capsized

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

if my mind had not been purified

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

i was anchored to the sky

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

but perhaps i was overconfident

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

because the boat sprung a leak

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

a

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

very

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

slow

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

leak

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

ten years passed

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

(still waiting for the denouncement, but has all the makings of the Best! Thread! Evah!)

I Dream Of Sleep (kate), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

we were two fish living in a coral reef

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

part of a fully symbiotic subaquatic community

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

i dreamt under my palm leaf blanket

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

we were two sea otters

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

sticking our snouts up through the ice

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

i dreamt for ten years

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

This text would make a great new recording of "Indeterminacy."

Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

Oh what the hell, let's all sing "House of Jealous Lovers"!

What this needs to be is a 20-minute Drexciya track with Tim Blake Nelson narrating.

TOMBOT, Thursday, 25 August 2005 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

This is the sexiest ILE thread title eva. goes downhill from there but.

Nellie (nellskies), Thursday, 25 August 2005 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

Is anyone else imagining Static Electricity's posts to this thread recited over a spacerock (oceanrock?) backing track?

Yes, I think this is why I like it so much.

Staticelectricity, may I set your words to music?

I Dream Of Sleep (kate), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:37 (nineteen years ago)

my mind became clouded

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

by lust and dreams and dreams of lust

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

i dreamt of quasimodo with his hardshell back

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

he was pulling a chariot with wheels of fire

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

across the night sky

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

when i woke up it was dawn

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

bring me my bow of burning gold
bring me my arrows of desire
bring me my spear
o clouds unfold!
bring me my chariot of fire...

Luminiferous Aether (kate), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

dew clung to my face and to my palm leaf blanket

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

it was almost monsoon season

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

and i knew that before the rains came

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

i would have to take action

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

i weighted my pockets with handfuls of sand

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

and with each handful i had a thought

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

front left: my mother, controlling and pleading

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

front right: my dog, passive and pleasing

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

back left: quasimodo, mysterious and angry

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

back right: josephine, solid and languid

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

and as i put one last handful of sand, this one in my mouth, i thought:

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

psychology is such a sham

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

i lay supine on the beach

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

filled with sand, surrounded by sand

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

i slowly began to roll towards the water's edge

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

a salt wave tickled my side

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

salt water up my nose

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

and i was underwater

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

and i rolled along the ocean floor

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

deeper and deeper

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

losing the light of the sun

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

until the pressure of the water was like being smothered in a quilt

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

until the only sign of life was the occasional odd glowing fish

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

until the only sound was my blood coursing through my veins and arteries

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

and i lay there

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

i just lay there

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

the end

Static Electricity (staticelectricity), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

The end? really? It can't be the end.
