only with you
can i mock
the utter idiocy and lack
of sense about how
the pacific is a warm-water
anomaly to the poetic iciness
of her experiences.
only with you would i
wish for karma
to take a luscious bite
of my fictitious Adam's
apple and my unfreckled,
calcium-deprived
skin; with you, i believe i could
sit for hours, watching in disgust
the utter power time can have
over the end of a crackling
frequency, substituting
poorly
for touch.
(yes, you would,
awkwardly
at best --
it is enough)
we have chopped, killed
and savoured all our victims
in the comforts
of our too-virgin, too-clumsy,
too-everything-keeping-us-from-

yes, i
fancy different giggles
and killers of time but you,
my home of a friend, you

this piece is the amalgam of all the beauty birthed by an unfaltering friendship, love spelt magically with each word woven on this page.

Saturnian AppreciationAfter arriving on Takron-Galtos prison planet, Saturn Queen had been stripped of her red and blue costume and been dressed in a grey prison uniform.
The telepathic villainess was led out of the reception area by a pretty blonde officer in the uniform of the Sciene Police.
"I'm sorry we had to take away your outfit, Saturn Queen," said the officer. "I think it's so cool. I'd love to look sexy like you do. I think our Science Police uniforms look kind of dull, in a fascist sort of way."

My second birthday was spent in the new house—a gorgeous, rambling affair in the heart of what had been a boom town during the years of the Erie Canal, and was now just a sleepy commuter village.  They’d lived in consistently horrible neighborhoods up to that point.  Dad had been mugged a block from their first apartment.  A neighbor had been brutally beaten and robbed near their second.  My Mom would recall with wonder the first week they moved int

From the suggester: "A set of non-fiction vignettes about growing up in a haunted house. Written in a very matter-of-fact tone that is effective and appealing."
