Poetry

ALEX

Living fast,
Flying high;
Know the truth
Before I die.

Play the game,
Ignore the rules,
Take the blame,
Win or lose.

Raise the stakes,
Cheat scheming Fate;
My day will come
When it's too late.

Depend on luck,
I run the race,
Fallen from heaven
To land on my face.

Live in the shadows
That dance in your mind;
I'm always behind you,
A truth you can't find.

Alone in the dark,
I'm missing you;
No one loves me
Like you do.

I wrote this for my friends, after a number of weeks of being told by everybody that I am sick, perverted, and need help. I challenged a hardened 'shipper friend to write a poem about Mulder/Scully fanfic, and she basically just wrote one being rude (very rude) about slash writers. I wrote this poem. Who won?

IN OUR DEFENCE

Although you call us perverts,
We really just don't care;
Relationshippers may protest
But M/K's our favourite pair.

We write about Alexei,
We write about the Fox,
We write the hottest sex scenes,
And think m/m sex rocks.

I like to watch them suffer,
To make them hurt and cry;
I can't be nice to Ratboy,
However hard I try.

I love my muses dearly,
Always let them have their way;
They enact ideas for stories,
And don't even make me pay.

On chilly winter evenings
I like to read some schmoop,
Or check the latest posts
To my favourite e-mail group.

After a hard day at work,
Fighting killer bees,
I'd like Fox to piss Alex off,
And beg forgiveness on his knees.

Some of us are quite restrained,
And only read nice fic,
But I delight in S and M;
I'm not pretty, but I'm sick.
