Saw this on someone else's blog but loved it. it's by  Diane Di Prima, but no name was given. If anyone knows the title, please let me know?

It is still news to her that passion
could steer her wrong
though she went down, a thousand times
strung outacross railroad tracks, off bridges
under cars, or stiff
glass bottle still in hand, hair soft
on greasy pillows, still it is
news she cannot follow love (his
burning footsteps in blue crystal
snow) & still
come out all right.

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. Whatever I see, I swallow immediately just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful--
The Mirror, Sylvia Plath

I've just seen this film tonight, and can only say that i truley felt devastated by so much of it. I honestly don't think a film has brought out so much distress, horror and pure saddness since City of God, and i'm willing to say right now that this film affected me more, beause I really do wonder how much i might have contributed to this issue without realising until now.

It's late, and i need to think things through a bit, but for now, i know i'll probably never look at diamonds the same way ever again.

Watch the movie!

Snickr is now up. If anyone was wondering how I got my Flickr photos displayed on my profile, Snickr is the answer: it gets around the "no scripts" limitation of MySpace by locally storing the retrived flickr photos onto a local server and then rendering straight up html for you to copy and paste into myspace. And it's free!
