If You Write About Nothing It Becomes Something
September 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Something Else
In my apartment there is no time. Or there is only one time. And this is it. My clock eerily stopped working when I became unemployed. It was so weird I had a seizure. I barfed in the toilet. I danced like a virgin. Or maybe the battery just got weak. The second hand perpetually [...]

Um
September 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Memoirs
Class was good last night. Another five star poem. And I didn’t have to worry about getting fired the next day. Then I slept nine hours. I don’t even remember the last time I slept nine hours. In fact, I didn’t think it was possible. Well, not until this morning. I think I’ll take the [...]

Life With A Loaded Gun III
September 10th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Fiction, Memoirs
I awoke to the sound of getting my ass beat. It was not pleasant. Then someone grabbed my ankles and pulled me out of bed. The back of my head hit the ground hard. “Put boots on we’re going for a walk.” The accent was Slavic and my ears were ringing. I stayed on the [...]
