EXTREME, How2BE

1. Change name (or middle name, if only going for moderately extreme--which, by the way, is completely contradictory to concept of BEINGEXTREME, which = TOTAL EXTREMITY at ALL TIMES,24/7/ 365 ds/YR TOTHEMAX!!@@.. got it?) to something like DAZZLER or MAGICO. maybe SPARKLEDELIVERANCE. Caution: end up like THIS & you've gone TOO FAR in the WRONG direction NOT my fault.

2. Train in an EXTREME sport, learn lingo and USE IT! I.e. Dory Quornlorn who's learnt to ROCK climb will tell you one time she pulled a DYNO before checking her 'BINER, but didn't have to BAIL bc she grabbed that CRIMPER.

3. Eat 9 (deep fried) Milky Ways & run up stairwell of random apt bldg screaming, "OHMYGOD IT SAID TO ONLY USE ONE" or "I SHOT JR."

BUT: Just cuz your name already resembles the word "fire," you have NO RIGHT to do THIS:

POWERbaby

Baby cardinal, outside our house in Saugatuck, MI, late May: waiting for its mother to come back with food. 2 weeks later I'm back and realize it's probably all grown up now.

Think maybe I saw him later.

A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.


And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.


He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad,—
They looked like frightened beads, I thought
He stirred his velvet head


Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home


Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, plashless, as they swim.

Furr

Yeah, when I was only seventeen
I could hear the angels whispering
So I drove into the woods
And wandered aimlessly about
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
Or a wolf, to be exact
The sound sent shivers down my back
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
So from the cliffs and highest hills
Yeah, we would gladly get our fill
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
For my flesh had turned to fur
Yeah, and my thoughts they surely were
Turned to instinct and obedience to God

You can wear your furLike a river on fire
But you'd better be sure
If you're making God a liar
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,
I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna get made
Don't be afraid of what you've learned

On the day that I turned 23
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
When suddenly a girl
Her skin the color of a pearl
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
She was listening for the angels just like me
So I stood and looked about
I brushed the leaves off of my snout
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
So I took her by the arm
We settled down upon a farm
And raised our children up as gently as you please
And now my fur has turned to skin
And I've been quickly ushered in
To a world that, I confess, I do not know
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
Through the howling winds that blow
Across the ancient distant flow
To fill our bodies up like water till we know

You can wear your furLike a river on fire
But you'd better be sureIf you're making God a liar
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna get made
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
