Don't worry. I'm still writing.

Uh huh.


That which has been written between February and now has been how I feel about losing. I've got incredible inertia.

Enough I'd go places I hated.

You are a horse
and you're not very high. 
You sleep on his shoes
and silently cry. 
Your quickest is walking, 
the shoes would allege;
you wish you were faster
and get to the edge. 

Then a diving disaster
sharp rocks and sharks
no one's jumping in after
you. 

Whatever, whatever
and off with the waves. 
If horses could swim, 
you know you'd be saved.
But drowning's a blanket,
it cradles you well. 
This certainly is a comfortable dwelling for hell.

DEAR RSVP NO JUST SHOW UP

You know, it's not a birthday party. It's a discovery and the proof you need. You're not invited, you just are. So when you arrive. I don't want you to laugh. Everyone else will be, but you can't laugh. You can only laugh if you're looking right at me and the rest of the room vanishes. 'Cause it isn't funny. I will not meet and greet, my face is going to be glued to the door. I might just sit in my linen suit and not even come downstairs because I'll be too busy looking for greenlights. I die at the end of that one, though. All my explanations are lies, and so is my audience. There is only one audient. It's a truth ribbon cutting. I dare you to go.
