A little less conversation, a little more parmesan please!

Dancing in the kitchen to "I feel good"
Ingredients sizzling in the pan over "Jumpin Jack"
Chopping onions to the beat of The Supremes.
I scream "R.E.S.P.E.C.T" in a cup of spices,
pour them into a pot to the piano rip on "Mambo Swing"
& the spatula is my Mic as I twirl around the room with Sinatra...

in a crescendo to the sky.

Temporary eternity?







Fireworks - sly little instigators...

it is even colder at the beach now & you stand behind me & rub my arms.

As we play silent crowd you inch closer to me & slowly wrap your arms around me... it could be -50 I have no idea anymore you can protect me from all.

Eventually the cold forces us to retreat to your car.

Music, laughing, playing with your hands....

Running my fingers over your arm & entertwining my little fingers in your hands... I can fit both in your palm. I feel so safe.

Come & try me I have THIS!!


D'Angelo is purring threw the speakers & we manage to stop talking for once & I'm solely entertained by your arms anatomy while you run your fingers through my hair & over my head.

Then Erykah tunes in & I rest my head on the back of the seat facing you... too shy to look you in the eye just yet.

My brain goes blank as you cup your hand around my cheek & push a stray strand of hair behind my ear. As if your hand is amazed by the touch it seems to rethink going back to your lap & instead travels across my jawline & ever so slowly over my lips..... my eyes flutter shut to conceal my utter infatuation but I suspect that my suppressed smile & my entire body language are snitching on me as you continue to let your fingers travel accross my face... from my forehead over my nose to my chin... over my eyebrows & back to my neck... your fingers are ice cold & burning hot simultaneously....

Feeling as if a tranquilizer hit me in the good spot I am barely able to lift my fingers towards your face & initiate my treasure hunt across your face... your lips being my target. So soft. So defined.


Suddenly you grab my face & pull me towards you as the world shifts into neutral & every millimeter of my body longs to be my lips as they creep closer to yours in slow motion. Jealouse of the ever so soft & cautious contact with your lips ... like opposite magnets we are drawn together & as if switching poles I draw back upon first contact.... amazed that I am not hallucinating.

I tell you you are amazing, you tell me I am beyond it.

Sparkling eyes.


My plane is leaving soon but I am more than tempted to miss it. For just one more kiss, one more laugh.

I sit back & watch you talk... my thoughts trail off.

Time has been rewinded to when I had no bad experiences, my sheet is blank there are no crinkles that need to be smoothed out. I'm still delecate though but I want to offer you the first page. Think about what you want to write I wouln't be able to take any more pages ripped out of my book because somebody acted without thought & care!


Your lips meet mine again & once again I go blank.

I kiss your fingertip & open my eyes just in time to see you kissing my kiss off your finger. You waste none.

You remind me later that neither of us is dreaming while you smile your ever so toothy smile that I will miss about you most.


Utter Content.

Intro.ab.duction





Ay! Listen to me!
The wordsmith is fonting!

I'm telling you life isn't easy...try it.
No, not the existing part. I mean the living up to your own expectations - exceeding them. Healthy thought processes & materializing them into projects that become accomplishments.
Shoking yourself.
                               Being proud.
                                                     Squeeling for a hot sec when your brain is on happy overload.
Been there?Done that?
Yes, but that's in the past. Europe(Germany) past. Good old times past.
Pure past. Virgin. 
Fun past. Friends. 
Safe past. Daddy. 
Delicious past. Food.
Delusional past. -------->

Then America happened. 
Lonely
Unknown
Excuse me THIS BARREL is a "small portion" ?!
Desertedness
Dessert
Pressure

Since I was kapable of forming my first thought besides pulling my cat's tail & getting in the candy cupboard I knew that one day we would move to America.
It was never literally sayd but I just knew.
And then the big day came & Daddy moved. Singular. D-a-d-d-y. No We. No Carina. O.O

But I was occupied at the time. I was only partially devastated. I had a new apartment to myself. Right? 
I had new "me" rules(non-existant) to abide by. Right?
It went well.
And a year later it was my turn to leave. & of course I missed my plane. No one was shoked.
Because it was so unreal to be gone... no more fresh graffiti pieces poping up around town.
No more crazy nights at the club with me in the the midst shimmy.
No more cumpfy girls nights with gigglemarathons & SATC.
No more little bay bay kids getting a earfull @ the center in my danceclass.
No more me & O.O

Last time that I hugged my sister from another XY & XX & wiped her tears away?
Last time that I kissed my ladies & punched my boys?
Last time that I made half a room snort at one of my "blonde moments"?
Last time that I really know where I am & need to go.
                                                   
                                                   Who & What I am?
                                                            Why?

I got on the plane & read my friends' last letters while Frankfurt became a ricecorn & my lips bled because I was biting down so hard fighting tears back. My teartunnels all rusty not remembering how to function since it had been so long that they had been used..... was it the time I was 12 when I was taken out of ballet, or when my bunny died when I was 13?

                    I'm telling you it ain't easy.

Landing in NYC... Landing in Chicago.... Landing in Cedar Rapids. I'm walking down the entrance hall & I see the Belgian flag & my heart drops for a sec because I mistook it for my flag. Realizing that life reversed.

The relatives that meet me there, I barely know. Grandma & Grandpa it is right? Maybe. I do not care. Correction I didn't & wouln't.

The new school... like a hospital. Screaming institution. I scream "Fallacies!!!"
The teachers lost & students not even trying to find the way.
I am supposed to benefit from this?

The schoolyear starts & progresses as does the decay of my IQ.
