I thought of emptying fluid Into a particular woman Who has electric blond hair And a slender neck, large Witch’s nose. I thought Of us smiling, under The myth of romantic Love, under The Myth of success, Happiness, and I thought Of the essence of Creation. Are we Subservient To something? Is there something More, […]

I noticed the suicide watch post at the university and I signed up. It was to make up to $225. That seemed like good money and I’ve been going through it. I filled out the survey, with my phone number, e-mail address and all that good stuff we know and hate. And I got all […]

Sometimes, sitting in my hometown, in the backyard of where I lived with my mom, I’d get this electric vibe. And I just knew it was it.

How we’d pounce From horror movie living rooms Into loud, endless mania, Left to the machine And the whip, Proud purveyors of Well-lit homicides.
