My cheerful face seems very bleak ~ The one very bright collaboration

Well… According to Wiio’s laws every next word in this headnote increases the risk of misinterpretation of what I tried to say. Let me be terse. Let me present my new collaboration and my new fantastic partner.

Will Tigs, thank you! You gave me some really important lessons…
(Oh…. And now I will stop blabbing! Wiio’s laws are upon us!)

Yellow face (Female face), 1921. Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin

My cheerful face seems very bleak
and the hopes I have are hollow.
My mouth is dry and unable to speak.
I live my life in sorrow.

My instincts seem so synchronized,
yet my genitals are sterile.
My eyes are weak and hypnotized,
I spend my days in peril.

My death is near. I have gangrene.
Pray for me, you happy fools!
On you alone I vent my spleen,
Don’t play with edged tools.

My memoirs I now will edit
to spread my story far and wide.
To devil I give all the credit.
He is my savior and my guide.

Though I live my life in sorrow
and my days are spent in peril,
I still wish to see tomorrow
and to do more good than ill.

    • Haha, your comments are always something to look forward to, however it’s 10:41 am on a Friday and I’m curious: How come you have time for WP, aren’t you at work? 😀
      I’m finally done with the doctors today so now I’m walking towards the university’s cafeteria to calm my roaring stomach. Me. Want. FOOOOD!! AAAARRRGGGHHHH! 😀

    • Oi! Well… ahem… ahem… ^^’
      It’s kinda a Friday and my boss kinda left our office and I’m kinda alone in the room 😛
      But OK, I really should work :/
      P.S. Bon appetite, my insatiable defender of labor discipline 😉

    • Hahaha, this is what I thought. Unbolt(ing) alone in the office. The image is lovely! 😀

      Joke of the millennium: Me, a defender of labor discipline? Haha, I hope you can still hear the echoes of my laugh on Monday. I am an absolute and total procrastinator. Every semester I am the one who says “Next semester everything will be better!” the loudest and every semester I am the one who sounds like a broken record. I can only find motivation under intense pressure.. for example: writing a 12 page scientific essay about the effects of Deng Xiaopings reforms. Passing shouldn’t be enough, I should strive for more than just passing a class, however I seem to have no motivation whatsoever at the moment. All I wanna do is be on my way to China and sing my heart out under the shower. Why can’t THAT be a class?! I would pass that shit with flying colors! 😀

    • LOLOLOL! I remember how I was writing my diploma work! I worked a whole night. I was without sleeping about 3 days. I got real glitches. Do you remember Neo’s motions in Matrix? It was me! 😛

    • HAHAHAHA!!!! Yes, I remember that! Sleep deprivation is the worst enemy of any student who desperately needs to make it to a deadline on time! 😀 Either you suffer and your grade as well, or you fall asleep and suffer not, but your grade still suffers. I swear NEXT semester I’m going to be a whole new me, hardworking and all. 😀
