What is this, Lord Jesus, that Thou shouldst make an end Of all that I possess, and give Thyself to me? So that there is nothing now to call my own Save Thee; Thyself alone my treasure. Taking all, Thou givest full measure of Thyself With all things else eternal— Things unlike the mouldly pelf by earth possessed. But as to life and godliness, all things are mine And in God's garments dressed I am; With Thee, an heir to riches in the spheres divine. Strange, I say, that suffering loss I have so gained everything in getting Me a friend who bore a cross.                                          ~ Jim Elliot (1927-1956)

From the Journal of Martyred Missionary Jim Elliot
"The Nymphs are departed" says Elliot, the nymphs are departed, so, all the barbers dumped their tools into the lake out of the village, because all men will grow beard, the homosexuality of the high ends of the streets, is stuck to the heel of that transgender like a dust, you can not shake your head if you have combed your hair neatly, and your impotency is revealed, you reach to the tree running, and fall like a chestnut, your hands are still blue from the act of last night, there is no question that you will be accused, for the name sake there are some shovering forests, at the every rough turn of the streets, you can only enter with your grown beard, there is only one riddle to solve, "why did the nymphs depart?"

Nymphonic Riddle
Try as I might Only see things In black and white Really black spreading carrion bird Vulture wings to pick clean to bone No friend just a fake toothache smile Who wants something Too bad too late all used up Throw away mate Past best before date Rotten meat parasite infested Inevitable buried garbage pit fate Dig it just big enough for A dead little Elliot me Be my Big Sur Billie And ******* bury me

Bury Me
On the first day, he was pushed robust in his stance, the other forced, this boy down the spiral staircase of the Catholic church, the school had renovated, the Spring before Isaac had begun his studies, at the high school. Ballet was his passion, Latin was the language that so effortlessly, fluently was spoken from his lips in class as he smiled at his Professor, another victory accomplished in academia so proud were his parents, of their blue eyed boy. Jonah was the reject, the older brother he had been kicked out of school, not once, but twice, and was often found with a joint, his unshaven face wrapped around one of the girls, from the all girls school that ran alongside Isaacs all boys. Issac was hurt, a further blow to his stomach, rendered him broken as a waterfall of tears ran down his bruised and cut face, so ashamed as other pupils laughed, staring, pointing until the final bell rang as they fled from the high ceilings and narrow corridors. Wrapped in a ball, he waited for all halls and students to clear, and as he rolled over, picking himself up he took to the washroom, knowing he needed to be presentable for his mother waiting for him at the school gate brimming with pride, at her boys scholarship. All his dreams, mystical and serene, Romeo and Juliet fluid streams of poetry of Elliot, Poe, Hughes and of course Wilde and those love letters of Beethoven math, biology, all paled into insignificance he was born a writer, a dancer, a drawer, sketching and typing his heart to a page, prose a future love would read. Johan saw his mother's car pull up as he raced and giggled with Saskia leading her astray, he promised her all the things those boys always did, and of course not to break her sweet sixteen heart, unlike other boys as his mother smoked another Camel, the two lovers jumped into his truck, Johnny Cash blaring from speakers laughing hysterically, the world at their feet. By 4pm, Isaac was ready to leave school, tentatively walking out the main door, down concrete slabs as steps, no predators in sight he couldn't hide the dark circles under his eyes that formed as bruises, knowing he was fortunate to have not been damaged further by the haunting before last period. Walking to the gates, he listened through headphones; Tchaikovsky his release his home his saving grace. © Sia Jane

Elliot Handler, late of Mattel, has gone to his heavenly rest. The designer of Hot Wheels Made many great toys; Barbie, the doll, is known best. Barbie was shaped Like a ******* recruit; A miniature teenage wet dream. Barbie wasn't impressed When she got Ken undressed; Some equipment was lacking, it seems.

Barbie and Ken
I am jiggling on that stage. The egoless strut. The humorous tap. The spectacular trip. Fall over, over. and Over again. Get up, find a ballroom Dancer. Find a hand holding Partner. Play "Spice Up Your Life". Spice Girls, listen to the bridge. tells you to Salsa. Watch that scene. Billy Elliot, With the pianist. Dancing Billy. He loves it. Just do it, you love it too. Cheesy pop, You don't need to embellish yourself. No grace notes. No flat 7th. You don't need to sugarcoat, the truth. Let loose to riddims. live on the dancefloor. Feel the ***** and the reggae. Feel the triplets. Rocksteady your way. Dancehall to sounds. Bounce and echo. Side to side. Left to right. And we'll slow it right down. The ballad starts. Your beautiful structure on the left of your head, the one called the ear. The that ear controls aural empathy. Let love be the choreographer to your moves, Play the concept album, your heart. Place it onto the record player and watch it spin Start the track track with an International groove. End. Replay.

Go quickly, turn the radio up, for the classics. I want to hear the Aria, and the sweep of the violin and the thud of the cello. Desire it, for me, so such that my heart beats and sways with the music. Pull black lace around my shoulders, and tie my hair up in knots and curl, should that be my desire. Read sections of Elliot, Ghibran, and Cohello to me by candlelight, barely are our knees yet to be touched, and I can hear the sound your lungs make in the pauses between the lines, trying to understand, the very moment of clarity, the writer, concedes to the reader. Allow my voice to be heard amongst the depth of the inclement music, despite how quiet it may seem in, that, moment. Do not call me by my name, I should not desire it, even if for a moment; it tastes like absinthe, without the sugar, and is bitter and intoxicating and raw on the tongue and that it would no longer be my desire, but yours. If I should desire it, I want you to be sure of yourself; I want your heart to pulse so loudly, it is the only sound you hear, and your mind becomes unconscious to my form, only my forceful presence. Tie me up, in ******* bind my feet, my arms, and my ******* use wax, and chains, and leather. Be afraid, be very afraid, to  love me like this. Place your palm on my back and hold me, like, this. Be a wall I can cling to, feel my desire for my nails claw at your fascia, at your concrete chest, let me make my mark in you, and you will feel, good, very oh, so, good about that. Be slightly nervous, by my desires, but oh so tense and excited. I want you wanton and willing, but I desire you hesitant and forbidden. I am the labyrinth, I am a woman, I was not built to be understood; but bring me *** bring me braces, bring me your rough delicate touch, and you will see i was built for Desire. If I must, I must desire to be enjoyed and entertained, I want you to make me smile, yes, you. To do this, is akin to going to battle and i want to see you are ready to go to war for this very simple desirable quest. Feel the stockings on my legs and deem them available to be held between your fingers. But not yet. Desire, if it must be met, must be met by me through me, by you. If I must desire, You must desire it, too

Miss Elliot is not just a single mom Miss Elliot is not just white trash Because Miss Elliot must stay calm In the lunchroom, though she grins wide, she’ll crash In the West End High lunchroom peak hour Miss Elliot, our warrior stands strong "You ugly white trash," they scream at the door But she keeps quiet, she won't yell you're wrong At home, she has a little one to watch She packs her bag, cleans off her recipe She claws in her mind for hope hard to catch As she quietly gives us a whisper "So what will it be Chris, Molly, Rudy?"

some of our teachers were awful nice and the harbour of sweet peccadillos (having to deal with us every day would make anyone crazy..) and i suppose they took refuge in their insect collecting in abyssinia.. (pasttimes tinged in the exotic and a nod to the sadistic..) but  love of keats and wordsworth (etc)... miraculously remained undiminished.. (while demonstrating lethal aims and a plethora of different pain.. one used the leg of a chair and another gave his weaponry girl´ s names.. i guess they were just as bored as we were how the season´ s waxed and wained..) they still retained their soulful natures a wonder of testament to the great genius of elliot yeats and so forth..! their fundamental faith undimmed...

Even in certain circles in certain minds in certain frames at certain times We can't know what's true And misconstrue can ring like Miss you too Self titles Reign demeaning And a finished product Watched like a B-Rated pre-screening Fed my gray matter But the rest of me is depleting Craig Morgan's playing baseball Elliot Smith in the background screaming Drinking OJ, it's how the Kardashians got there money, Nothing good even came from the cover, trust me it didn't.

"Welcome to Shaboom Shaboom"
Sin glows With sparkling richness Of all luminaries of blanketing galaxy Sin is worshiped and enshrined Righteousness is but blase fallacy With all over-flowing Affluence of new pentecostal churches and their greedy pastors And easy-come riches of Chiadzwa diamond fields with her flippant Gwejas and Gwejerinas Life is but black like Soddom's **** I hear the knell of dawning doom As Angels of doom boom... I swear by ****** Mary's blessed **** I saw a Stephen preaching down Rekai Tangwena Ave And was run down by a speeding motor car "O poor chap, was a good fellow," muttered God I saw drunken Thomas roaming the streets Of cogitation convincing himself it was true news That brother Jesus, pot-bellied in Armani suit Was back riding a top of the range Lamborghini And  God shrugged his shoulders,kept quiet Afraid it may be fatally true I saw God wet his pants When listening to Elliot The Idiot's "Songs of Sobs" That applaud Simon and Peter fishing From people's pockets Songs that revere and adorn  the vigilant Pillar of Salt Scorn and mock the meekness and softness of heart At Golgotha... Sin is vermin spreading In this our home,the infierno grande -dougwa-

Spreading Sin
Winter’s releasing us from its perpetually gray and gloomy grip. Who can study in their room, on a beautiful spring afternoon? Azaleas assail ya, with champagne petals of bubblegum fuchsias, they blush in near neon reflection, with a mathematical, fractal perfection. Courtyards that were once dark and uninviting, frosty scenes, sport impromptu manicured carpets, of flawless, vibrant greens. Dogwoods explode, abruptly overnight, with cherry blossom whites they blush like brides on parade, they sachet, swaying flag-like bouquets. Ordinary maples become emerald queens by unfurling avocado, hunter and chartreuse leaves, accented with vibrant electric limes and honeydews, as if to say, ‘We too can please.’ New life stretches, almost yawning, in the seemingly reborn sun, insects hum as they cultivate, birds flit excitedly, as if to say,  ‘Why’re you inside? Come out and play - why do you even hesitate?’ I know there’s something in spring that’s irresistible, pheromonal, hormonal, surfeit and emotional. Is it the solar zenith angle or the sun’s declination that produces these delightful inclinations? . . Songs for this: Funky Galileo by Sure sure You get what you give by New Radicals New World Coming by Cass Elliot

If drinking were a sport. I think Id take the gold. Even without your support. But if it there were such a whiskey laced dream. I think id have to start my own drinking team. You know in wine. We could clean house. With Baths everytime. For the wild turkey relay yours truley Gary and Jack would hold it down. Make the whole team hello including Elliot frown. Chris can drink his weight in Guinness. and so easily win us a god medal for sure. Who need rehab were in trainning no problem to cure. All the rest of the HP family will hang there head in shame. Cause when it cause when it comes to beer pong weve never lost a single game. Thank God for Paula. and Kerry cause sombobodys gotta stay sober to remember the story. And we always got Golden to write about are glory. And amoungst are group Danny is the youngest in are humble dive. Even if he doesnt have a license . Id rather let him than my drunk *** drive. In the showcase are medals shall gleam. Do you think your liver could handle. Being part ofthe pubs drinking team

The Pubs Drinking Team
"It is a postulate implicit in all metaphysical poetry that nothing is ineffable, that the most rarefied feeling can be exact and exactly expressed. If you cease to be able to express feelings, you cease to be able to have them, and sensibility is replaced by sentiment, in the end by the vague expression of the vague, and poetry degenerates into a diversity of noises."

Why T.S Elliot is always right.
J.K. Rowling is the latest to call herself a bloke. Three Bronte sisters Made up male names So they could write, Not vote. George Elliot Was the nom de plume of a British lady fair. In Victorian times It was de riguer For a girl to feign a pair. Distaff scribes Are not alone In borrowing a name Sam Clemens took As “nom De Guerre” The river cry “Mark Twain” And Stephen King Who writes so fast That he’s in overdrive Adopted Richard Bachmann as a name And used it for some time. George Orwell Once was Erich Blair Lewis Carroll was Charles Dodson. “The Hobbit” Was my nom de plume But now I haven’t got one.
