You stand beside him in the sky of the terminal staring into his fuzz-haired neck, and catch your breath. I have never seen this man before. Where could we possibly go? Together?

Solitude
I hesitate to like. There is a commanding. Regimented. Indecision. Arrogant. Haughty. Imperfect. Treasure imperfection. It rules life. All beauty consists of imperfection. Look at anything beautiful and notice the flaw that sets off the beauty. You are happy by yourself. You say you need solitude, the journey.

The black wave
She takes your pixels, she takes them away.
There is the figure, a ghost of a young boy, dressed in white bed clothes, peeking around the corner of the barn in the photograph.
A feeling of sadness seemingly without a cause.

The city is a sequential experience of hardness. All her regrets leave her in the dust. She cannot best his tenderness for her. The sky is blue and her tears are true.
The turgid green canals go oily black at night. The uniformity of the boats and the houses is mesmerizing. She would be worth following into the dirt. One long night, Sophie.

Zero
Sometimes there are better ones sometimes there are better zeroes. Interesting how this feeling is intensified beyond tolerance as though it will destroy me. But isn’t that the point? Annihilate the self. Wow! Where am I going today? All their wires drive me crazy, Station Meriwether. Big is intimidating. Small is unstoppable.
Arawaks
I caught my youth in your teeth, you shattered across my window screen into a pile of blood diamonds. We had fun playing pinball, lights and bells in your eyes while I smoked my last cigarette. You paused the ball with a bumper and said my teeth will be grey in twenty years and I begged to differ that they would be yellow and ashen from red wine. How could you sit naked on hotel bed spreads?...
Mimesis
The unease subsides and something marvelous happens. A breathing space is discovered, time alters, the imagination and creativity expands, and now you are free forever.
Unselfish love
Dominic said, if I don’t see it I’m going to keep looking for it. Seeking to discover that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part, to discover life’s single most important lesson, of unselfish love. It used to be sweat now it’s blood, now tears, now the dust from your own decay. Can you run can you run building relief with each stride escaping...
Box & Over
He got the box out and switched it on. Hello Dave. It always said that when he turned it on. Made him smile faintly not that you could notice except for a tap of his sneaker on the linoleum. Still playing with that servo David? the voice over the intercom said from behind him. David muttered, Don’t mean to be smart, but the best boxes are the ones that don’t look human. The box said,...

Augment
To make audible the eloquence of the apparently inarticulate. It’s not that he lends speech to his clients or talks on their behalf. He hears what they are saying when the words run out. Voices recorded in the whine of the ac fan, mostly ghosts he supposes, enough to pause and listen.
The Deanonymization Agent
Someone who unleashes all their information into the internet. No hiding, no lies but still no truth as to who this person is. That was Robert’s job to tease out as much information as is possible. When he met a woman named Laura he had an unreasonable expectation he would find all he needed about her online. But there is nothing, no triangulation.

Ape & the scars of fierce soldiers
The story begins in April. The fourth if I can recall, that is the time for some reason I met Ape. We called him that not because he in any way resembled an ape only that his name was impossible to keep straight, if I tried I’d still misspell the thing. Okay, Aperioulapsis but I’m not sure so it got shortened to Ape, no one called him by his given name, Alexander. I know I know you...
Bliss & Blister walking down
Take the adventure far away and lose yourself recreate yourself in the image who is like god.
I drowned in the Arizona with the rest of them. We popped out like gas you don’t need to hear the rest. At the green sand beach down by Mauna Kea.

Drop
Books are fuel for the fire, he sang all afternoon. Whenever I drop a dime I drop a dime on you. Whenever I drive away I drive away from you. Whenever the sunsets I set a frown on you. For real?
Mammon
All his children are dead. Murdered as far away from him as possible. In their death I have answered back ‘you are my creator but I am your master.’ Bluster. I overheard him tell his wife, he is a romantic, she nodded in sad agreement. They are both born in Africa. Brutal intellect. Intense. Causing me a bit of self-loathing and excitement. They taught well. A pinprick in my dream....

Time-rich and cash-poor. Strange. All that effort to feel this empty. I do everything and anything I can in order to continue my work. There is the glass there is the wine.

Minutae
Seized up machinery. Getting bogged by the details or minutae. The deets. get it down first. You sort of just accept shit when reality is going off pop pop pop. The noise masking the violence is intentional, necessary for survival. The only stories are the ones he tells others. Tragic liar. How to be. I get the sterness. Gear is stuck. Stop all current activity. Stop pretending to sleepwalk....
The demons
Minim stray past the l.e.d., blue painful staring into the depth of the night, we just wear what is at hand, no.
We brought them because we thought you could use them. Hold on to them.
Maybe the light, maybe the hour but the minutes melted into years instantaneously.
They say when parents grow old, so old that age is too much for them, they become demons who will eat their own children.

Mr. Magoo
I have a sister who is a year and a half younger than me. My sister turned 16 her senior year. She turned eighteen the year they changed the legal drinking age to 21. At 12 she physically matured and was promoted to my class in the sixth grade. We were in the same middle school classes and then high school and for reasons I don’t understand ( probably our parents.) we went to the same...

I went to visit my friend at art school in Lacoste in September. The train ride was sitting backwards on the TGV. I met my friend in Avignon, which is apparently a university town. We wandered around for a few hours. I bought a box of dominoes. We hitch-hiked because my friend didn’t want to spend money. A ride dropped us off at Lumiere, which is an hour from Avignon. We had to walk another hour...

Snare
There is a haunting spiralling sound playing among the deep beating drums. This sound is inside my head and I want everyone to hear it, but the lips I press on the saxaphone won’t make the thing even hum right. I want to bust up this bit of metal with pure will, but I try again, each note shrieking through my fingers. Buddy is banging on the drums. I want to make the biggest sound in the...

Couch
The summer after graduation I lived with family friends in the south of France in Port Grimaud, where they had their beach house overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. They had a linen couch set almost on the balcony that faced the sunset but I couldn’t sit in it without getting congested and itchy eyed. I told them I had the same reaction with cat fur but they did not have pets and then they...
