Things I learned just now:
Some of my friends are jerks and they're lucky I love them anyway.
I had no idea what to write tonight, so I posted this on Facebook:
"Help a sister you commits herself to stupid challenges out:
Give me 8 words. One word per person. Any word/form of word. First 8 words win. And go.

"Help a sister you commits herself to stupid challenges out:

It started out innocently. The first 4 words were:
Grace
Blue
Revolutionary
Fierce
And then came:
Terpsichorean
Wallaby
Deoxyribonucleic acid
And the final word:
Elusive
Luckily, I have been playing this game for a VERY long time. And the more people are assholes and give you RIDICULOUS words, the better this game becomes. This poem? 20 minutes and done.
First: definitions.
Terpsichorean - of or relating to dancing
Deoxyribonucleic acid is just DNA all spelled out and fancy like.
And this fella is a wallaby.
Bathe Me Glorious
In the terpsichorean
mystery of time,
evolution beckons us
forward from cells to
wallabys, from
deoxyribonucleic acid
to
sponges and
long-limbed teens with
blue hair and
snails, and ferrets,
and
grandfathers who don't
remember your name -
this life
is evolutionary chaos I
sometimes don't
know how to survive.
Grace,
ever elusive in your
splendor
bathe me glorious in
your revolutionary light
and draw me daringly into fierce
and furious
dancing.
Bravo!
