i've got to make my bed if i am gonna lay with you, 'cause a disaster's a disaster no matter what christian language you drag it through...

I am still trapped in a state of confusion. I am also evidently oblivious. But hey, what more could you anticipate to hear about me?

orange trees and massive lizards

i am the daughter of a red-haired
japanese man
descended from a preacher's daughter
who broke away from a small town mindset
to find love in the form
of a sailor man
who would sail on a far different ship
years later.

i am the daughter of a red-haired
japanese man
who married a small town girl
when he had tired of traveling the world,
traded the hot california sun rays
and orange trees and massive lizards
for cold winters and mountain ranges
at the age of ten.

i am the daughter of a red-haired
japanese man
who joined a family of town founders,
cherokee indians and handsome men,
blue -eyed mexicans and high-heel throwing
depression survivors.

i am the daughter of a red-haired
japanese man,
searching for my sailor boy
to tie down in a small town
when i've found all my orange trees
and tired of mountain ranges
and decided it's my time
to be more
than the daughter of a red-haired
japanese man.
