Okay, so I'm about a week and a half from being sane again since work feels malicious and everything, and sure, I'll cop to missing things that are going on with my flist (and um, maybe the world--there's apparently been another earthquake and something called an iPad? Yeah.), but I need to check something real fast because I am absolutely sure I misinterpreted this totally and will feel like such an idiot.

Is there an actual argument being made about the questionable moral position of those using Livejournal? Really? Clarification: your choice of social networking platforms is now an ethical choice?

Go.

See and what you've said is a lot of why I didn't bother for the longest time. Yeah, different people are active and the different comms are different are why I finally broke down and got one (as I heart the poetry community) and it was way more busy than either IJ or JF and so lots of reading material.

But I have a permanent account here - *shrugs* It's just not that bad?

Exactly! It's hardly an issue worth going to the mat over. Room for everybody to find things they like, in many different venues! :D


A present, bb. I was amazed when I stumbled over this one. Hope you like it, too! :D




The Shipfitter's Wife, by Dorianne Laux


I loved him most
when he came home from work,
his fingers still curled from fitting pipe,
his denim shirt ringed with sweat
and smelling of salt, the drying weeds
of the ocean. I would go to him where he sat
on the edge of the bed, his forehead
anointed with grease, his cracked hands
jammed between his thighs, and unlace
the steel-toed boots, stroke his ankles,
his calves, the pads and bones of his feet.
Then I'd open his clothes and take
the whole day inside me-the ship's
gray sides, the miles of copper pipe,
the voice of the first man clanging
off the hull's silver ribs, spark of lead
kissing metal, the clamp, the winch,
the white fire of the torch, the whistle
and the long drive home.
