The equivlent of your secret measured in temperature:

Young lovers on a city bus,
an incandescent's filament,
the sparks that fly around 'tween us,
my father's views of parliment./



I check the weather like you check your hair:
With consideration to the clothes I'll wear./


Oh, I suppose you have no idea that
it took me three tries.

Okay, where to begin...

Oh yes, how about the disgusting lack of discretion when using "Young lovers" okay? Ewww.

Next comes the term "'tween us". This would imply you would like to make us into 11 to 14 year olds? You're correct in assume I in no way attached the "'tween us" to the sparks jargon.

Oh yes, my favorite part. Where you talk about how you check the weather like I check my hair. Is this a statement about how you never check the weather? Cause that's a lie, you do it a lot.

I do know it took you 3 tries. I say, why not go for a 4th?

You missed this, admit it.

Iiiiiaaaan that comment was top of the line, made me smile a few times.
Two thumbs up.

I think I'm halarious.
And my lack of ability to show the world why everything is so humourous troubles me.

For everyone's sake:
This post wasn't meant to have a mushy feeling about it.
Take it all, in correlation with the title. Someone has a very interesting secret, and it's heating up, just like all of the things I listed. Right? Right.
1. I spent a good chunk of time on Friday on a bus with a couple of pairs of ridiculously un-ashamed teenage daters. They were all over each other. It was quite the spectacle.
2. Because I was being silly, rhyming, and syllable matching, " 'tween" seemed like an appropripate abbreviation for "between". And for clarification's sake, I wasn't talking about the "crushing on you sparks"... The office where I work is very carpeted and very static-filled, every time you walk by anyone in a close proximity you both receive a small electrical shock. This is both awesome and annoying. (Note: shocks are hot... And I realise that I used electricity twice, which kind of sucks, but whateves.)
3. For honesty's sake, my dad doesn't even really have heated views of parliment, but I figured I could get away with it, since it is probable of a middle-aged man.

The post didn't take me three tries. That part was completely un-related and perhaps the only "serious/inside my mind" part of the post. But now that I read it with Ian's comment in mind, I can see where one might get that impression, and frankly, that impression ruins the post.

I was mostly making fun.
Apparently Ian doesn't think I'm very funny.

Oh Dear...
I feel nice,
This is very revealing, I am learning.
There is so much to be excited for.

What are the "/"s in this post? Are they dividing one work from another or are they a part of one work? Just a question from someone sadly unfamiliar with this artist's work...

Okay, I also want to add that I love

"I check the weather like you check your hair:
With consideration to the clothes I'll wear:"

It makes me think of many people. Of myself on different days, of who I am and who I want to be, and when people smile shyly because they are suddenly aware that others are aware of how they look; when they are flattered and embarassed.

I'm flattered and embarassed.
I'm mostly just embarassed.
