You re walking down the street- head held high- feeling as good as it gets.

The Chicken of Babylon
by TD Euwaite

Caught and penned
and now
I’m poultry.
No more sultry
co’ck carousing.
With contented hens
arousing.
Downey soft
egg layers
lounging.
Strut and crow
else cracked
and stewing.
I must now
do
what rooster’s doing…

I am working on enjambment. I have it wrong at the end.

I must
now do

I live in New York- and I m going with my family to spend a few days at the Magic Kingdom.

But I ve become OBSESSED with my hair- and now that I keep straightening it- it s become a full-time job to look glamorous!

However- now summer being here means means that my dreaded enemy Humidity is here to stay for a few months- and I m going to fight that ***** off as long as possible.

I bought this Garnier Frutis Anti-Humidity Hairspray- and I m packing it with me in the suitcase (what better place to look fabulous than Miami Beach!?!?!).

I m just terrified that when I open my luggage- my brand new shirts that I bought to strut down the streets will be doused with sticky hairpray.

Maybe I m way too gulible- but I heard at certain altitudes- because of the cabin-pressure- or some sorta pressure (because we re so high up)- cans like that could explode.

Is it true? I m I being overdramatic? Paranoid?

Are my clothes at risk?

I just bought a set of Eibach lowering springs and wanted to know what struts would be best to use with those springs.

I have my first real boyfriend. I am white- blonde- blue eyed and Musadiq is black.

My dream guy was always white.

But Musadiq is a wonderful boyfriend and I am very happy. He is too. He goes to a different school- my school mates found out about him.

They are spreading rumours in school that I like Black men and some of these girls are black- too.

The guys that are black are acting all funny. One of them seemed nice at first and I talked to him and joked with him because one reason that he reminded me of Musadiq- came from the same country- and it helped me to understand my boyfriend. Now this guy is acting wierd too.

By wierd...all the girls are catcalling- saying- Florence just loves black guys . The black guys are all strutting around and saying hi .

I am deeply hurt by this.

What should I do?

I ve always liked the song Lady Marmalade- eventhough I didn t know what voulez vouz blah blah blah meant for a while. But I was watching the ORIGINAL version of it- by LABELLE- obviously recorded in the 70 s- and some user on youtube had the nerve to say..

"das not rite 2 dis mi gyrl chriztina son... 4realz... dis 1 iz 2 mi gyrl pink and chriztina...on da strenf

ooh snapz.. dis ole ladys steel dis jam from mi gyrl chriztina agulara..das messed up son.. why dey be steelin songz lik dis... i lovez chriztina.. shes mi gyrl ... 4 realz kid"

Besides the bad grammar- should we be scared for the upcoming generation that think Celia Cruz is Tom Cruise s mother and Lady Marmalade was strutting her stuff in "Ol Moulin Rouge"? What happened to music appreciation?
Ha yeah I knew it meant "will you sleep with me tonight" in French- I just didn t feel like typing it all. I didn t want to embarrass myself any further by trying to spell French I don t speak.
