Tako Dramash Esaf

Tar comes dripping among ashes and faith
Fate comes tripping a minute too late
Breaking, shaking, waking, baking
Weeping, praying for a spanking.

Jumble

Inundating impulse with languid lethargy,
The fortitude to elongate the filibuster,
To implode the ellipse, to fill
The ledger with a florid elegy to effort.

Short Story

Broken glass, all over the floor. Clyde and I didn't mean to do it, but a clean conscience meant very little in our house. Our mother works until five on Fridays, which leaves the two of us one hour and forty-five minutes of unsupervised shenanigans before she gets home. We are dropped off by the bus at 3:25 sharp, and mother pulls into the driveway at 4:40, bone tired and stinking of kelp.

Usually, she fries us eggs or microwaves cheese sandwiches when she gets home. Not today. Today, we put a hole in the window. Well, I put a hole in the window with Clyde's help. So, today we would have nothing to eat but dirt - wet dirt.

I don't know when forcing us to eat dirt as a punishment started. I know that we never had to eat it when dad was still alive. But he died before either of us were born., so I guess that doesn't mean much. I just remember hearing him play the harmonica while I kicked away inside my mother's stomach.

Clyde doesn't remember anything about our Father. That doesn't surprise me considering how dumb he is. Even mom says he's the dumbest stick on the log. She doesn't say that to hurt his feelings and it doesn't really bother him. She's just telling it like it is.

She'll tell it like it is when she gets home too, I'm sure. She'll scream and cry and tell us she wishes our father had never been born. Then she'll beat us senseless with her apron straps, and pull at our eyelashes with the little pair of tweezers she keeps in her purse. It could be worse, I guess. I just wish we could have cheese sandwiches for dinner instead of dirt.

Seeing the yellow hood of her Pontiac Sunfire turn the corner and roll toward the driveway went a long way toward helping me feel better. After all, she had never been mad for longer than a couple days. I made sure of that, trimming her toenails and squeezing her shoulders. Don't worry about it Clyde. Whatever happens can only be so bad.

The door slams, and the rush of air carries her scent to our sniffling noses.

"Clyde? Where are you?"

He's been trying for an hour to hide inside one of the kitchen cupboards, but he's much too large, especially with the egg cartons stacked inside.

"Clyde?!"

Her sound of her footsteps moves closer, and suddenly she's standing right above us. She takes one glance at the broken glass and then looks at us.

"What happened here?" she asks.

"The window broke," we said in perfect unison.

"Oh," she said. Then paused, thinking. "I'm not angry. So, don't worry."

"Aren't you going to beat us or something?" I asked, reaching across the floor for her calloused foot.

While I pick the dirt from underneath her nails, she looks out the hole in the window.

"No, it's really no problem," she says. "I'll make you dinner just as soon as the window is fixed."

"How should we fix it?" I ask.

Kicking my hand away from her toes gently, she replies: "Take the glass and place it between your teeth. Grind the glass to sand, slowly at first. Then, more quickly - rapid chewing will heat the glass enough for you to rebuild the window."

Mowed Nerves

I've chewed off all the bristles on my toothbrush and unraveled my last pair of socks.
My lungs hurt and I hope I never have to leave my couch again. Don't touch my dishes.
This apple core is the first piece of my new art installation. Over the next several years,
it will take shape, one scrap at a time. But until it's finished, you'll just have to excuse
my mess.

Hot Hot Heat

Next time you're melting into a puddle of your own sweat,
Try that pairing that cheap merlot with a cherry popsicle.

Cosmic Laundry

The washing machine at my house is broken again.
(I put 2 dollars worth of quarters into its hungry jaws before coming to this conclusion.)
So, the majority of my evening was spent figuring out how to wash the chemicals off 60% of my clothing.
In the end, I got a ride to a friend's laundry machine and walked home with two trash bags full of laundry.
Now I'm listening to some really cosmic music.

It's certainly put my troubles in perspective.

I and the universe itself are locked in a battle of wits,

at the highest stakes imaginable.

So far, the universe appears to have the upper hand.

But I can't be sure.

I feel my aura brushing up against the walls.

Now I Shall Embark on a Great Project

Just you wait and see.

Wink and nudge.

Sleeping takes a lot of time, but believe me when I say, there will still be enough.

I'm not so sick anymore.

Well, I'm well enough to smoke as many cigarettes as I please.

That's a lot better than I have been.

Maybe I'll just keep it up.

See what happens.

You're the best.

I really mean that.

Keep a close eye on the past.

Keep it away from the future.

It's the outside that worries me.

In here we're safe.

I can't let myself think about what's up ahead.

I'll ruin everything the second that happens.

Spent the whole day in my brain, and I'm better for it.

I've wasted my whole life searching for more time.
And now, looking back, I would change absolutely everything.

(has nothing to do with)

I just can't stop thinking: For a moment,
We were closer than beach sand.
But you see, I ravaged her like a cheeseburger
Just like the rest.

(has nothing to do with)

Much too shy to tell her the truth:
When we first met, you looked so beautiful I wanted
To pull off your skin and wrap it around my feet.

C'est vrai.

With or without your help, we're getting out of this town. I fucking swear.

I hate the way you clean your teeth with that paintbrush.

Freaks with scalpels stole my vision. (It's not what you think. It was a religious experience.)

Not until I've eaten her toenails. (I want a fetish.)

Fillings.

Inkara. (I remember.)

I lost your name.

Just jump over her. (She's dead anyway.)

Just pour it into your engine.

Oh my God, I think I'm... I'm... going!

How did he say that? Oh, I remember: "I want to look like Woody Allen when I die."

Smile, it's only family.

I hate the way this shit tastes.

You look like a crab in that dress.

Shut up and take another.

Mogul Mogul Mogul.

I digress

Seek truth in repetition.

Search for rhythm in traffic.

Walk through the beat.

Die of nothing but boredom.

Eat first, think later.

Patience is the sole luxury of the disinterested.

Believe me when I say.

I hope you wither in heat.

If I want to do the splits, I'll just take of my pants
