We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: temporary things

i wanted to sleep
atop his restless
bones until the sun
rose beyond the toes
of my sneakers,
only grass and earth,
worms and a few beetles
separating us, no
heaven
or
hell
to divide
and then conquer
each
to his own.
there must be more
because there couldn't
possibly be any less.
to hell
with every heavenly matron
or master
who would tell me
divinity, intervening,
will be late
in leading him and me
by the hand
past the conquered kings
and rendered queens
and princesses that would go unkissed
and all their chipped-tooth tombstones


love, t.
