My first girlfriend's name was Cindarella.
Everybody finds that cute when they hear it and wants
to know more about the relationship that was:
how we met, what we did, do you have any stories—

At that point I'm spewing bibbidy-bobbidy-bogus
because all I remember was her hospital gown,
her ambulance-carriage, fairy godmother father,
the slip-on socks and the psych ward we shared.

Cinda was my first, but she was also that crazy ex.
And I learned I have a ball when I'm with girls diagnosed crazy.

About this Bitlet

I thought this would be a suitable topic for the thirteenth bitlet when I was writing, seeing as how I consider thirteen a 'bad' number. All of this is entirely true. Her name is Cindarella, we met in a psych ward, she is crazy, and I like crazy. Bite me.

Bitlets are about quantity, not quality. Free-write at least one a day about what is on your mind, going on around you, or the state of your life. Ignore the urge to edit; it's not about being profound on purpose, it's about stumbling on it by accident.

I've just finally got a VPN after more than a year of Chinese internet censorship and wow deviantart feels like home. Apparently I read this before, because I commented and faved already but I've just had the pleasure of reading it again for the first time (thank you China) and it's resonating even more strongly now with my current relationship (I think I managed to find the good, compatible, stable-ish but still spontaneous, unpredictable, wondrous, am I actually so happy that I don't have to write poetry as therapy any more, kind of crazy. A functional, stimulating relationship is a new experience for me.) This poem is wonderful. Life is wonderful.
