I’m glad it’s raining. I’ll laze around, not showered, until some inspiration moves my fingers. I don’t have to do anything. I can’t mow or wash dogs … it’s raining! My life is that bland and boring when it IS happening. When you have a job you keep to pay bills, families you tolerate, a boss who irritates you, and friends whom you don’t like, … Continue reading bitter
Once upon a time, there lived a boy and his younger sister.

Can you see them? Yes. Where are they? Over there, in the dark. They are there now? Yes. Do they scare you? No. What do they do? They make me laugh. They do? They think I’m scared of them.

“Brace yourself.” Grandmother pulled and tightened the obi just above my hip. The motion jerked me, but I was able to hold back. “If it’s not tight enough, the whole thing will fall apart.” She made me turn around, scrutinizing everything. The smoke from the mosquito coil rolled upwards and swayed with the evening breeze. The lazy sound of the wind chime echoed. My back … Continue reading a bud
I am unstoppable. I am able and determined. Nothing can stop me. I’m on a roll and don’t want to lose my momentum. Threats and fear can be an impetus to run. But, I am not fleeing. I am compelled to move. Invariable belief feigns invulnerability and conquers insuperable difficulties. Indomitable hubris attacks those insurmountable walls of problems. I am invincible. Only, now and then, … Continue reading momentum

Drip, drip, drip… My own blood is curdling. As self-defense, it is getting cold and, soon, will be solid. I don’t know how to thaw it or make it warm again. Do you? The … Continue reading a speck of…
I am tired of being cornered. I live in the fake world. All these false goodness, kindness, righteousness, boasting, and pity are closing in and about to crush me. I hate these people and this world. ——– I don’t care about what they are shouting. It seems okay to me. Yeah, things could be different, but ain’t. So why bother? I’m fine the way it … Continue reading trapped in their world
