I dance in clown shoes.I dance in clown shoes. by `zephyrkinetic
You compose your conversations.
Fitfully gesturing with whatever you hold,
ending arguments with a flourish.
Make a point, now whirl, quickly.
Make it impossible to counter with your unpunctuation.
You duck and weave, spin, sidestep, pirouette:
One, two, one, two, faster, harder, stronger.
You leave me confused and two steps back,
just far enough behind to appear lost and unsure.
And if I catch up, if I make a point,
you spin again, a trail of words falling like pixie dust
as you make your escape.
And as you storm out, you slam the period behind you,
Ending your sentence with a door.
And I must follow you, my thuds down the sta

!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! 
Congratulations!

For the life of me, I can't ever think of a good enough reason to become active 'round here again. I don't have the time, true, but I frankly don't really care anymore.
I looked through my watched deviants, the art they've submitted; I don't care. It's all scantily-clad women and anime. I've changed too much since I was even last a real member here. And even when I was, I guess I never really got it. I'm a writer, and that just barely. I don't really have a place here. I've spent the last few years posturing, trying to look the part, and the whole time I've cursed those who do the same thing.
I've made my friends. I've found out what I really believe in. I've made thousands of blunt asshole comments. For better or for worse, dA (and namely it's forums) have helped me figure out who I was, who I am, who I hope to be. But I got what I came for.
I guess I'm past this stage in my life. Good luck to all of you.
