Though no one reads me anymore…

and they shoudln’t, I would like to start using this again but am unsure what approach to take. I’ve been working on alot of writing and obviously have alot of ideas and/or interests but how does that translate onto Tumblr. They say the blog platform is dying, thought I don’t completely agree, I am seeing where the amount one has (or wants to for that matter) to share becomes limited

Topless Cassandra Cleans the Tub (From my “First Hundred Dreams” Series)

The lights are down low on high,
there starts with one and three go a rye.

There’s one everyone cares about…

Topless Cassandra cleans the tub
in eerie light,
slow and dumb.
Topless Cassandra,
she’s alright,
I’d pay a nickel to watch her flight…

and back and forth she scrubs,
I care if I haven’t seen her face.

Wonder if she’s embarrassed
out there like that,
‘even a lace around her neck.
She’d probably welcome it,
and I’d reckon she lives alone
in a place kinda like this…

Topless Cassandra cleans the tub;
who knows why,
is she even pretty?

Topless Cassandra don’t know why
these folks round’ here don’t know no better.

 

I’m not no better than the rest,
I’d be the first to admit it.
Cassandra whatshername is scrubbin’ up her tears
I reckon,
and in each second checking the reflection of tall dark men overhead
and praying for god to take her in and love her again.

She’s been waiting for someone to love her again.
