I try not to care I would lose my mind
Running ’round the same thing time after time
Only two things bound to soothe my soul
Cold beer and remote control – Cold Beer And Remote Control-Indigo Girls
Yes, I love The Indigo Girls,
what do you expect?
I’m a butch,
in her forties,
no brainer:-)
My one point of originality is that neither,
Closer to Fine,
nor,
Galileo,
are my favourites.
My favourites are Shame On You,
and,
Cold Beer and Remote Control.
Shame On You, because it’s a danceable tune,
and it has this line
the beautiful ladies walk on by,
You know I never know what to say
Butch, tongue tied ness,
in a nut shell:-)
As for danceability,
only in my mind,
girls,
only in my mind.
Cold Beer and Remote Control,
appeals to my sense of,
working class.
Although, strictly speaking,
I’m not working class,
I am.
I’m a working stiff,
through and through,
I wear the clothes,
I listen to the tunes,
I wear that label.
I know that in a postmodern world,
labels are a no no,
but hey,
I don’t care,
I’m a rebel!!
Not really,
but…
I am comfortable with my labels,
and I’m comfortable with people who don’t wear them.
Mine, I know,
Butch with a capital B.
It seems there may still be a few femmes out there,
who appreciate butch.
Bless them!!
I asked a friend of mine,
a busy writer type,
what she saw as butch,
and what she liked about it.
She hasn’t gotten back to me about it,
I don’t think she’s avoiding,
she’s damn busy.
So, I thought I would ask you girls,
tell me what you like about butch,
it’s a sort of a sociological study,
for strictly selfish purposes,
I’m counting on you.
Also, this same friend doesn’t like the term,
femme,
can anyone suggest an alternative?
What’s wrong with femme?
It’s just woman in French,
I like femme,
I like French,
I like to…
Oh no,
I won’t go there:-)
Personally,
womyn,
really doesn’t do it for me,
but,
that’s me.
Not, much reading lately,
that’s why you have been subjected to my,
États D’ames.
I’m working on it,
I just have trouble concentrating,
lately.
Later girls,
BB
