  • Wishing Pool

    A month. A week, day, hour. The moment that just passed. We all sit beside the Wishing Pool. Oh cool giver of sustenance! I'd drink from you if the taste didn't drive me to excess. Excessively expressed, no less. Mesmerizing ripples and profundity for nights on end. The wish to be heard when I don't…

  • Good Show

    So after the Swing Sisters rope and yodel their way through the dictionary with harp and hand saw, a palate cleanser is needed. Ah, I spy the goddess in position under the harsh, hot spotlight. She's a spray-painted vision in red. The goddess spins on pedicured toes and recites Joyce in her nasally voice and…

  • single shot

    Attachment: 1 ImageA single shot is all I get.Which road has better scenery: Fanaticism or Freedom?What state of bliss grows ever sweeter: Adoration or Manipulation? The calm spot that swallows fear is a mirage. Take a step, another step, lunge/drop/roll.There is no better solution than la ilusión.

  • Learn Aversion for Profit & Gain

    To self-educate is way better than to self-medicate. And hey, a gal doesn't want to go through life as a thwarted intellectual, does she? Turn up the dial, amigos. Your community is waiting.

  • Open Opuses

    A spark arced across the wire. A lady wants me to pay her $10.00 if I want to read her online scribbles/blog/magnum opus/un mémoire thing. It's a one-time fee but I will pass on the opportunity. I'm sure she's very nice, though perhaps a bit tipsy. Go here if you need something to read, boys…

  • Clod

    Billie rolls up in her chair as quietly as she can, careful to avoid a clod of mud/shit and a beer can pyramid. She finds a vantage point and wedges her torso between the blossom-heavy branches of a red rhododendron. She imagines herself a stealthy forest sprite in search of a lost hiker to terrorize.…

  • Complete Noise

    Sally hears the seventh word that comes from Frank's lips. Context? Perspective? What she hears is a form of fact. Truth it is, nevertheless. The message is clear without all the filler Frank carefully chooses. Transcribed it reads thus: This world is noise and far from complete. It's the struggle we've been wanting all along.You.Me.Us.…
