Desperately Seeking Crosses

Perhaps one of the most inspirational women in the world.
And the only one who reminds me of her is Miranda.
Desperately seeking Susan has always been a massive influence for me,
but specially even more in the past 12 months! You'll discover soon why.

Quizas una de las mujeres mas inspiradoras sobre la faz de la tierra.
Y la unica que me recuerda a ella es mi querida Miranda.
Desperately Seeking Susan ha sido una gran influencia para mi desde siempre,
pero especialmente durante los ultimos 12 meses.Pronto descubrireis el porque.

                                                               

BRING BACK YOUR CROSSES AND CRUCIFIX!!!!(yes,AGAIN)

Poetry

Floor 2
Garbage trucks and Beer bottles clanking
Cell Phones, car alarms, bouncers yelling
The hoarders apartment below wont stop smelling
And I can't fall asleep tonight

My door is buzzing, the smell of stale beer in my sheets
The pizza place is booming, there isn't one seat
I can't believe all the vomit in the streets
And I can't fall asleep tonight

I hear mice scrambling on the floor
They are in my dogs food bowl
No heat and its out of my control
And I can't fall asleep tonight

The Freegan's are muffling through the trash
The doormen are taking the cash
The DJ is playing the Clash
And I can't fall asleep tonight

Should I stay or should I go
I'm gonna walk right out that door
I'm gonna go down one floor
And say Hello

- By Caillianne Beckerman

Fun Fact: I thought it would be fun to put up one of my poems ! We lived above a bar for five years in NY and saw and heard everything!
