R.I.P. Anna Nicole Smith

I am very sad to hear of Anna Nicole Smith's death. She's about my age, and I used to see her around, back in the day when I used to see people around. I didn't know her well, but I always thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. So pale and blonde, with this incredible soft serve ice cream vulnerability, like ripe summer peaches hot from the sun, or rice pudding made from grains boiled for over a day on the stove; Anna Nicole Smith was the goddess of all things that are sweet and enveloping.

I hope that she is happy now, where she is. It is easy to picture her there, riding the clouds, her young son at her side, a million miles above the paparazzi and the tabloids, the gossip columns and the lawsuits and Bobby Trendy and Trimspa and the rest. I hope she feels thin, and nothing is bugging her, and that she doesn't have any more doubts or worries. Only puppies and kisses and love. Because she deserves that.

from me:

when i first heard of anna's untimely passing
i thought to myself not a shock, unbelievably tragic
then i got upset - it came out sideways
see i've been writing an anna nicole chunk
for my new act...due out sometime 2043
working constantly on it
now the jokes r tasteless
fuck that they were tastless to begin with

margaret said it better than anyone could
i won't pretend that i knew anna
or anything she was going through
but i feel i did -- all too familiar 2 me

now the press is jumping, haunting her in death too
following her lawyer/husband whatever
to reunite with her new born daughter
fucking more tasteless than i could even be
anything for ratings
anything to destract
from the war

last thursday
as we moved
more troops
invasion
over 100 died
it's being estimated

that's 100 lives
100 people
who will never again
be able to tell someone
one last time
that they are loved

anna your light will shine on
i hope you have peace
and happiness now
kiss daniel for me

love & light
to all
for me
tonight

PEACE - IT'S NOT JUST THE GOAL - IT IS THE ONLY WAY
