  1. Soné Taizo

    Bi_janus

    Thick reddish ember--

    Even as memory

    mixes your character

    You in whom

    They resurrected budo--

    samurai's image

    but in your hand

    Bible for blade

    Twenty years inactive

    soles grown soft

    but tatami burned

    your spirit

    and your mirthful

    glance also steel

    Now they tell me

    your warm umber

    is gray and ash--

    the whole bed

    of this old old passion

    dies dimmer still
  2. I suppose a poem shouldn't require explication, so I'll just comment on the circumstance that caused its writing. At the beach on a blustery day, I watched a seagull standing on one leg, the wind ruffling its feathers, which stuck out in all directions. Eventually, the bird rested with its breast against the sand.

  3. The boy confused

    Bi_janus

    for Ann

    The meter is inexact

    He can’t find a rhyme

    In this landscape

    He tries, I distract

    him for a time

    Why him he thinks

    He, pupils dilated,

    wanting you

    has written the play

    The boy frustrated

    when he hears your cue

    He must take us

    to have you

  4. The episode, "Random Shoes," in the first season is as close to X-Files quality as anything I've seen. If you like musical theater, find some of John Barrowman's performances. He doesn't have the greatest vocal range, but he's a more than fair performer.

  5. If you're a fan of camp sic-fi, you should try Torchwood, especially the first two seasons. The BBC series was produced by Russell Davies, who also produced and wrote much of Queer as Folk. The main character, Captain Jack Harkness, is an omnisexual human who can't die. Sample dialogue from the episode "Meat," in which members of the Torchwood team search for humans who are butchering an alien spices and selling the meat:

    Gwen: "You ever eaten alien meat?"

    Jack: "Yeah."

    Gwen: "What was it like?"

    Jack: "Well, he seemed to enjoy it."
