You sit alone in a dark room. There is no light. A smell playfully teases your nostrils. Whatever it is, it’s sweet and overbearing. You vacillate back and forth between the questions of where you are, are you in danger, and what heavenly concoction could possibly be filling up your airways. Just as you are … Continue reading
With a finger tapping on the dust-speckled dashboard, you drive onward to a destination only you care to know. The radio is playing, but it is not the sound of the guitar or piano rhythmically coalescing together that is making you hum stupidly. Instead, it is the pinholes of devotion you hang onto. Somehow, they … Continue reading
Silly old me. I cannot appreciate movies because the appreciation goes to the wrong place. You can bet your ass that when it comes to the silver screen, the fame and fortune always goes to some actor Joe Blow. He’s got a great smile. Killer abs. Solves most of the worlds problems all under one … Continue reading
Strangers. “Hi.” “Hello.” “You…” “Yes?” “Nothing.” “But…” “Nothing.” “Just…” “Familiar.” “Oh.” “Yes.” “Who?” “Nobody.” “Okay.” “Yup.” Silence. “So.” “So.” “Familiar?” “Stop.” “Why?” “Because.” “Face?” “No.” “Arms?” “No.” “Legs?” “Maybe.” “And?” “Something.” “What?” “Wife.” “Where?” “Nowhere.”` “Alive?” “Stop.” “Oh.” Silence. “Weather?” “Bad.” “Worse.” “Terrible.” “Indeed.” Silence. “Sports?” “No.” “Politics?” “No” “Anything?” “Yes.” “What?” “You.” “Sorry?” “You.” … Continue reading
I have a boner for a man. A dead man. But in these days and times, sexually urging for a man, even a dead one, is not something to be ashamed of. Besides if you knew this man, you would have one too. This is because he is a true master of seduction, luring people … Continue reading
His eyes drudged on back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Rock slab. Hammer down. Pick up crumbs. Throw away. Repeat. Rock slab. Hammer down. Pick up crumbs. Throw away. Repeat. His life was a broken record player, skipping and playing back the same old 43 seconds endlessly. It was a futile task … Continue reading
Please, dear reader, take a spoon, stick it into my brain, and stir. That way when the grey matter turns red, and my nerve cells are no longer the cells that imprison me, I’ll finally have an empty head that I can fill in with useful ‘stuff’. Everything else that’s in there, whatever it may … Continue reading
Your mother is a liar. A big, fat liar. Don’t worry though. All mothers lie. In fact, both your parents do. They told you that you were smart and you, wired up like a biological time bomb, believed it. Silly, silly human. Thoughts like that will only lead to your self-destruction. Just because you can … Continue reading
Hello my love. Today I had your name perched on my lips, your scent still glued to my bedsheets. I made your favourite breakfast. I smiled all day. Thank you for letting me smile. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile. I woke up with a bad cough and cigarette ashes plastered to … Continue reading
For Christ’s sake, I am an idiot. Listen up: I wrote some two thousand words but still wasn’t able to fit the Apocalypse in an essay; the Armageddon in twelve point font. Isn’t that what writing is about? Hold on to your hats. The topic I wish to understand better is something that has been … Continue reading
