The Killing Thing.......

I had a dream the other night. It was the most perplexing thing. I actually slept. All the way through the night, in fact. A really rare thing for me.

While I slept, I dreamt first of my great uncle. This wasn't the man that I knew, and wish I still did. This was a character from some movie or something. He had secret cookies he'd share with me. They had to be secrets. He was diabetic, and so his wife wouldn't let him have them. He wasn't a giant. It didn't matter. He… Continue

Mr. Eloquence (A true story)


As I sat and I waited
In the mid-afternoon,
(My love would be getting
Off of work soon.)

Two men approached me.
Well, one and a half.
And the half man that spoke
Made it hard not to laugh.

It began to speak! - - It began t… Continue

~<*>~ Watch me! ~<*>~

Who was I?
Only a figment.
Only a fragment.
So much more,
or so much less than me.

Where was I
When you decided my torment?
Only moments
From the door,
And I was too weak to leave, you see.

Now, watch me.


You see me, now.
Maybe, like you never did.
But you would have,
If you only cared to look.
You wonder how
You never noticed what I really was,
But you could have,
Had you only read the book.

When you look down to meet my gaze,
you won't see me there.
You… Continue
