http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell   FALLING DOWN New York City is falling down as I rise from my bed like a stubborn corpse While people are burned and buried alive here I make stiff fingers move shuffle my numb feet toward life Mad planes seek easy targets in the sky Here I put on my hat, let the elevator drop me down to the basement below Maybe a miracle will come in the mail one day soon The Disability checks won't stop I won't lose the subsidized roof over my head untold loaves of bread will appear in the empty cupboard like magic And good blood will flow through my sick veins once again Thank you America The Twin Towers fall and some 3,000 souls are gone Here I abandon my bed sip weak coffee and squint at the 12 inch screen In New York City a homeless man has hung an American flag across the side of his cart But I only see hunger and early coffins here Red is the color of blood, ashes are white, bruises are blue Now a barefoot girl has wrapped a flag around herself like a shroud Her face is a mask of ash, her dark eyes are ringed with blood, blue bruises disfigure her feet She is an American saint on display A letter in the mailbox is a dangerous thing now, but I am already falling, falling Since bombs or germs won't make my world worse: I open my mail never think to wash my hands, check the empty cupboard one more time, and wait for my world to explode Copyright 2007 by Dylan Mitchell ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=968 Just wanted to thank Ta for the splendid editing job she did on my Brokeback Mountain review ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=967 Just a quick thank you for all the nice comments ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=825 I'll try to keep this short--because I don't want this post to be a total downer ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=816 "But what's a pansy--apart from being aflower?"~Quentin Crisp I was only a boy in 1973 ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=789 I have the original Silverlake Life (on video), and I decided to take another brave peek at it last night ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=784 (In memory of Ryan White)Let us take a closer look now: All the reactionarymourners tastefully clad in their finest Sundayblacks ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=771 (from a dream I had last night) 2 apples: 1 rolling along in front of the other ... http://www.Q-Blogs.com/blog.php?user=DylanMitchell&note=768 Hey,  I haven't seen Danny on Q-Blogs since around the 4th?
