they called it the six Ws

Who...

• is easy to love? The Cat
• do you just wanna smack? someone who treats me with disrespect, when I've earned better
• do you trust? almost no one
• do you talk to when you're alone? my journal

What...

• dangerous things do you do while driving? switch playlists on the iPod, and sometimes still eat Snickers despite the near-death experience in Mad-town
• are you allergic to? all narcotics, ricotta cheese, and fucking liars
• is Satan's last name? it starts with a 't' and ends with an 's'...
• is the freakiest thing in your house? before today, I would have said "anatomically-correct monkeys." now I can only acknowledge the shameful lack of rubber bands

When...

• is it time to turn over a new leaf? when you reconcile that even if you knew why, the answer couldn't change anything
• will you be all that you can be? when I'm goddamned dead
• is enough enough? at work? now.
• do you go to the dark side? I gave that up exactly 4 months ago tomorrow

Where...

• are your pants? if you don't know, I'm not tellin'
• is your last will and testament? it currently exists somewhere between my imagination and the tiny dollar signs in my attorney's eyes
• is your junk food stash? not stashed. there's quart (?) of M&Ms left over from my Vegas haul, but they're atop the microwave where they've been all along.
• is Carmen Sandiego? Mexico or California

Why...

• was the Lone Ranger alone? much like Marshall Dillon, (no, not "Dylan"--that was the later, California version) he was devoted to crime-fighting and horses, not the pursuit of human relationships; his heart wasn't in it
• was The Scarlet Letter scarlet? its HSV geometrically represents the following: 8°, 100%, 100%
• are musicians sexy and plumbers not? ha! you've clearly never seen these weirdos, nor read Does She or Doesn't She?
• are there no seat belts on school buses? K-12 = social control. if a few are lost along the way, it's just that much cheaper and easier.

Would you...

• swim the English Channel for a doughnut and coffee? If not that, what? nah, but I've walked a couple of miles for breakfast in various U.S. cities. suddenly I'm wistful, remembering some excellent long mornings at La Madeleine in Bethesda
• forgive someone who deliberately hurt you? I don't know; what does "forgive" mean? and "deliberately"? and, most of all, "hurt"? I could probably forgive being punched in the mouth more quickly than someone takeing what they need and leaving nothing behind
• rather believe a lie if it hurt you less than the truth? NEVER
• you still be alive if you were sucked out of an airplane window? is it "sucked" or "blown"? I've always wondered.
