  • In a galaxy far, far away (i.e.: in one of time's many iterations) I am 12. I watch a new hope unfold. It is bigger than the screen in front of me. It surrounds and drowns out all other thoughts. The picture starts over at high noon so no one is late and no one…

  • Who doesn't prefer a well-crafted fable to mere information? If words are tucked between glossy covers, or spoken by a pair of moist pouty lips (extra points for an exotic accent), they have to be true enough for everyday use. Belief-On-Demand. That'll work, right? Secrets held tight. Dreams fade in the daylight. Our darlings are…

  • I've left a deposit in the snow bank. Something for you to draw against when all the things scream to be made. Please don't think what I've buried is your private stash of Taschengeld. If you're hungry I know how to boil water. If there are holes in your stockings, I happen to dabble in…

  • If I'm perfectly honest, that's one toxic act you've got, and I can't get enough. I stand in front of your window–you've always got the lights on–and soak up all the icky details of your sick and twisted, touchy-feely fabricated history. Whenever I wait outside your house there's always a long line so I come…

  • there are days when the book is best kept shut–just keep swimming—just keep swimming–and let others debate the definition of WIN. LOSS. reality is subjective. every dreamer is a champion and mediocrity is a !#@$%*& expletive. televise this. ready-set-tell me what you see. describe where it hurts. empires are built in the span of five…

  • Broken messages have been discovered. They lie in pieces on the closet floor waiting to be recovered. A busted hinge, bloodstains on the carpet, a chalk outline, the town's on fire. Let's put on a good show now that the whole world's watching. Should make us a shoe in for a Lifetime Achievement award.

  • The smile is stretched tight across my face. Fake. Fake. Fake. A guiding light pools up around my feet. Jump in. There goes another flash of brilliance and I'm on the wrong side of the lens. Can't get any closer or else you'd be me. I didn't eat today but I'm well-heeled. I am always…

  • Cheap (ok – free) entertainment that doesn't require a remote. I don't even need to put on clothes (ok – a robe's a good idea) and the show is always on in one form or another. The story doesn't deviate much from episode to episode, but the way a dust mote dances in filtered light…
