Happy or Sad

Reluctantly I tried to make her adore me rather than love me. She slapped me instantaneously and without regret. Two times I told bold faced lies but only because the truth would have freaked her out so intensely and dramatically that there would be no recovery from it. Truly.

And forget about pleauring her to the point of no return. No, she would not approve of such madness. To her pleasure is mostly derived from extended periods of celibacy and finger pointing. I'm not lying here.

On our anniversary I did my best to show her a good time. I made reservations at some fancy pants French restaurant but when we got there they said that I made no such reservation. I spoke to the manager but all he did was furrow his brow and roll his eyes. So, I punched him square in the jaw and tore up his fancy pants suit.

We were escorted out of the place as the manager shouted French insults. My love she looked like she was about to cry but instead she slapped me and jumped on my person. She licked my face and kissed my neck. She seemed very excited.

So we skipped dinner and went straight to dessert. Ha, ha. I'm not a big fan of inunedos but they do serve a purpose. So, after having hot sex in the back of my accord, she said nothing to me. I couldn't tell if she was happy or sad.

I guess she was mainly disappointed because that was the last time I saw her. Really it was. Well... it was the last time she knew I saw her.

Ten years later I spotted her at the local mall. She was holding a crap load of shopping bags and looked very happy. She was also being embraced by some tall muscular guy with a mustache. I stood about four feet behind them; they didn't even know anyone was watching them.

Five minutes passed and some kids ran out of the toy store and towards them. They shouted, "Mommy! Daddy! Look what we got!" I watched them take each other's hand and walk away like the quintessential happy family.

Now, I don't know if I feel happy or sad.

Alive & Interesting

It's lonely being
A Freak
But
I shall not
Assimilate
Into
That superficiality
You call
Success
Damn success!
Success be damned!
You're all a bunch
Of whores and
Prostitutes
Prostitutes
Of
Capitalism!!!!!!!
I do not need success!
There is nothing viable in it
Sadness
Depression
Struggle
Strife
Confusion
These are the things that
Contain more truth
Than "success"!
These are the things that
Keep us Freaks
Alive & interesting

Long Guitars

Long guitars
Outstretching
Miles
We speak blankly
With the Sun
To our
Backs
No one can tell us
Who to be or screw
A can of mixed
Vegetables
Is all we consume
And tomorrow we'll eat cacti
If that's what it takes
To be
Whole

The Loft

I imagine myself
And her
Living in a cozy loft
Somewhere in NYC
Cuddling up on
A well padded mattress
Eating Ramen Noodles
Out of a big bowl
Reciting poetry to
Each other
Laughing hysterically
Because we can't
Believe how long it took
Us to find love and hang on
To it
We live off
The advance I
Received for my
Latest novel
It's not much but
It allows us to
Remain secure
In our
Love nest
For a year or so
Most mornings
We make Love
Until Noon
Then we walk
Through
Central Park
And point out
All the rich
Vibrant colors
Of the leaves
We make out
In the shade
Of
A Willow Oak
Some people stare
But most of them
Smile and move on
We watch and listen
To a homeless violinist
Express
His strife
Via his
Antique
Violin
I drop a $20
In his empty
Coffee cup
And we
Head back
To the
Loft
She strips slowly
Then pushes me
Onto the mattress
Her nude form
Illuminates
My soul
As she lays
To my left
She whispers
"I wish this
Could last forever
And ever."
I kiss her
Neck
And stroke
Her hair
She falls asleep
And I....
Wake
Up

Dirty Beige

She gave me room
To breathe
I
Bought her
A
Brand new
Pair of
Purple fantastic
Heels
She wore them
Happily but reluctant
While we
Had hot sex
On the dirty beige
Billiard table

Honest Creativity

Just watched two great movies about writers and the creative process. The Words and Ruby Sparks. Both inspire one to be as honest as possible when expressing one's self.
