What if we take away the fear? When people die we pat them on their backs, send them to the ever-after? Living is not a safe bet. At least make it exciting. It's not a debt to collect.
Night office.
Everything's a mystery at night. What does the shadow hide? Where's the road begin and the dream end? Do the stars see me as I see them? Some warm lights remind me of a home I had. It's as safe as the night. One that I can visit as often as I like.
Betty’s off-White Adventure.
Answer.
If life's that simple, an answer of "yes" or "no". The path lies in the middle, somewhere nobody knows. The first asks the question. The second finds an answer. The third never bothered. Which one is wise?
I need your love.
I lower the price on love, so I can afford the rent. Dangling the key in front of your face, so you're scared that I might leave. Any second, now. Any second now. But it's such an old tale even I was not aware. Why I can't leave, why I can't breath, why I seek you out, why I fool myself. I need your love. When the sun goes down, or even it's sunny out, or high time at the sabbath. I need your blood. It better sing my name, it better stain my lips, it proves I exist. Something to run from, maybe a little braver now. The eruption of the volcano. The ending of a 5-G world. I need your love now. I need your love.
Here, now.
1. I look at you like, "What do we have here?" You look like you know me. But how? I don't remember. I must've been stuck since forever, since nowhere. That's how I feel. Now where do we go, now that I'm here? 2. They say just keep going, put one foot in front of the next. What about those we left behind? What have I left behind? Another glittery town, another image forgotten. Except we don't forget. We don't ever forget. Now I'm here. It's quiet. 3. I've never lived in the real world. Never for a second, not a lifetime. You got me wrong, but your spirit is strong, so I buckled under your demands but resisted at my own peril. It's the reason I do things half way, I can't finish if I'm afraid of a heart that's long lost. But it's here now, what do you know?
How?
I was sitting by the door like old man stupid except I was on period. Out came the question, "How can I be happy if I'm afraid of it?" Then I took a nap since I felt sick. When I woke up, there's ringing in my ears.
No title.
Gigdy, gigdy, time is running out. Do you want to pick a number or just letting it spin you around? I don't know when you came in but finally you're front of the line. What? Didn't have time to think? Oh, well, guy, you're doing it right. Haha, so many a soul came all glammed up thinking it's a ball not just a gamble. I see you're missing shoes & tie & a smoke, but luck is on your side. (whisper) So am I. (wink) Now what's gonna be? A speech! Oooh, let's see, there're two of you still standing, the rest are asleep. But get on right ahead, I'm paid on the hour. (yawn) (wakes up) Wha?! ... you still here? Alright, enough is enough. NEXT! And no buts.
Life drug.
I live life as someone who just want to get it done. No pleasure but seeking pain. What are the other options? I should've done everything thrice. Only it's all in my head. Maybe see it from your eyes next? Will I be prettier, more apt? There, I've found the thing I've been searching for. I am & I'm not & that's all. It's good to be drunk.
A chicken kinda love.
The only kind I deserve. The only softness I accept. I killed a chick once by ignorance & neglect. I cried till daybreak holding its limp body thinking it's the end of the world. I'm a chicken mom now with minimal responsibility. Just the kind I like while they still remember me. But I know they would peck me to death if they sense I'm a threat. That's what I like about my chicken friends.
