“I loathe my daugher, schizophrenic-frame of mind. Everything she is disgusts me. Groans, shrieks, and spit—damn it all. She’s barbarous with her mother, abuses the cat, and refuses the help of the very few friends she has: just the other day, a girl from her middle-school came over and asked to go bike-riding. Of course […]
He chants with particular stress on the repetitive words, reminding himself with the weight of the syllables, the strain on the breath, what a waste it is to live forever: “If I could, in any way, cease to start and start to end, I’d call my soul a blessing. At least a little movement towards […]
“As a boy as a ten, I was devastated losing my friend, my dearest McCoy. He moved three states over, Arkansas past Missouri, and I never saw him again. “Back then, I wasn’t wont to show my mother much emotion–was too embarrassed, I reckon–but I couldn’t help it the day he left. All noon and […]
I’ve just come to the rather dizzying conclusion that one day, some particularly plucky chicken could come replace me and that no one would even notice. Of course, I would look different and probably smell different, too. But listen: looks and smells aren’t everything. Else we primates wouldn’t love the crotch. And yet we do. […]
Let this be a warning to all of you who wish to be inspired: don’t be. Don’t wish for the Muse! She’s a terrible pixie and—and, well, you’ll see: A wizard once loved a girl and he loved her very much. She was a darling girl and they were oh so very happy to Be. […]
It wasn’t a literal prison I found myself in, or else I wouldn’t be yapping about it. Why would I ever confess to running away from a real prison? They’d trace it right back to me and lock me up–all with a clean and cocky confession, too. No, that’d be too stupid of me. If […]
A man crosses paths with a violent sugar-drunk. I don’t know if you do this or if it’s only me, but whenever I get real down about myself and feel like pulling the trigger– –but I don’t even own a gun. I have to buy a gun first. I swear that’s the only thing keeping […]
“Either I solve the riddle of life, or I stay here–stuck–and die. Because without solving that riddle–and solving it right now!–I can’t take another step. I have nothing to walk on. No road to begin my journey. I must solve the destination of my life so I can begin to move towards it. I know […]
‘I was told once what makes Judgment so dreadful is the terrible silence. That it’s a giant cavern with you right in the middle. And you know God is somewhere watching. He’s somewhere in the dark. Perhaps he is the dark. Who knows? ‘He’s silent. In whatever corner he hides, he’s silent. Never says a […]
There’s this way I’ve been thinking lately that’s been getting me through some rough spells. The minute I feel the noose tightening around my neck, the minute I start to panic about how dire the situation has gotten–I fly. Not physically. No, no, no. I don’t escape from my predicaments. That wouldn’t really solve anything, […]
