Invisible Assassin
I check the time on the clock. A breeze whips by and I shiver. I can feel the goosebumps all over my skin. Why did I have to get this power in fricking February? I start my journey nevertheless, shivering endlessly. I'm not going to let a little cold stop me. Before I just wanted to make shit levitate and scare old people, but now, I have a mission. I hop into a car and wait. A lady puts luggage into a car and draves off towards the airport. Perfect. We drive ten to twenty minutes, and she pulls into the parking lot, sneezing and coughing. Eww. She opens the door and I'm out of there before she can even suspect a thing.
I board a plane to Washington DC and wait. Well, no I don't. I can't exactly sit down since someone will inadvertently sit on me and that would not be fun, and standing still doesn't work when stewardesses are walking down the aiwsles. The ride is bumpy and i have no seatbelt so I try to hold onto a seat, but grab a guy's arm instead and he turns around and sees a cute woman and I think I just stole Cupid's job. Oh well, not my business. I leave after them and wander from the airport towards the White House.
What? Did you think I was going for vacation in the middle of winter? Come on, now.
Well, since you obviously disapprove, I'll summarize. It looked like a murder suicide. The first in history. It's so lovely being invisible because it's hard to find fingerprints that aren't there. I don't exactly know wht'll happen next, but it the Senate and House listened to the floating picture of Hiram Revels (What? He was the first I could find!), some things are going to change, or else. I still have two more of these invisibility pills left and I'm not afraid to use them! I board a plane to Trinidad and Tobago and wake up to an island paradase with millions of dollars in my bank account.
A girl can dream, okay?

Couldn't the word palindrome
have been instead, a palindrome?
And couldn't the word alliteration
contain more inward
alliteration?
and couldn't the word onomatopoeia
be somehow an onomatopoeia?
The word lisp is cruel,
and self demonstrative.
And isn't the word hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
also cruel,
albeit very humorous?
And couldn't we have tried
just a little harder?
Our written words could be made of
symbols, full of meaning.
Other people so have that.
And we couldn't have different words
for to, too, and two.
and for which and witch.
And our spelling could be a little less tragic and
impossible.
I know its asking too much
And at least we have
Caesura
and
Susurrus.

The Sea
The sea nipping at my heels,
followed my footsteps across the
vast flat sand, erasing them.
It stalked me, waiting until I turned
to dash up, and, spuming, run across my feet
foaming and sputtering.
I turned, watched as it
receded, laughing and flurrying sand
while sea gulls laughed, also,
stalking clams and gorging on garbage,
wheeling through the sky,
they are disgusting and elegant,
the red strip on their bills
beckoning.
Stairway to the Highway
I met him on the stairs as soon as I started up them, I walked towards a familiar tune I couldn’t put my finger on, it was being whistled by this man, jeez it was on the tip of my tongue. As soon as I faced him, I froze, couldn’t move a damn muscle. I was on my way up; he was on his way down, ironic really. He had this smirk on his face that confirmed this was no accident. He looked nothing like I had expected, apparently all those Sunday school rumors were bullshit. He wore a slick jacket, red pinstripes on black with a bowler’s hat of the same variety. Gold watch and a goatee as dark as I’ve ever seen. Anyway, our eyes were locked. I couldn’t break that staring contest to save my life, or my soul. His were all pupils, not a trace of blue, brown, green or hazel. What was the name of that song god dammit?! I knew I had heard it before. For some reason that was all I could think of, I couldn’t do anything else, I was barely even breathing. And then he said something, “excuse me”. This peeled me from my petrified pose to realize I was in the middle of the stair case the whole time. I couldn’t make words, all I could do was slide to the right just enough to watch him slip by me with that same smirk, skip down the steps with style and out the door. As I stood there dumbfounded, I snapped out of my hypnotized state and continued to the door of my apartment, 7J. It was not until I slid the key into the mechanism and turned the handle that I was sucker punched by a wave of realization. “Highway to hell” by AC/DC, that motherfucker.
Only Words
I don't know. Everytime I think of something the opposite can also be applied. Words like happy or sad are only circumstantial. They change depending on the day. I don't think words can describe me. Only experiences.
The last minute trip to Disneyland because I miss it so much I almost have a break down.
The way I wait for my Dog to poop as we walk for longer than I'd like.
How I still play pretend as an adult.
The time and effort into sewing a costume just right and yet will never be fully happy with it.
3am fast food runs when I can't stop craving those damn fries even though i shouldn't give in and it's going to make me sick. But I do it anyway.
The way my mood can swing in an instant and i try to control it but, it's still there and I can't help but lash out sometimes.
The fact that i adore Movie scores more than the movies sometimes. Also more than regular music because i feel the emotions so much more and it's helping me controlling how I feel this time.
Even these words cannot penetrate who I really am.
[mouth-to-mouth]
beneath the weight of your hips,
i am all mouth, folding like wax paper.
you are turning ashes into
house fires, writing legend into history.
and now that lugano is underwater,
we say we are on our way to the ocean;
you forget we made up our minds
to stay. you remember now. i know
you are a darker shade of grey
than most artists know what to do with,
but you always hurt the ones you love —
so when you broke my heart last night,
i thought you loved me the most.
we have to make sense of the chaos
around us. after you fall back,
i lie in post-coital tristesse, learning
how to breathe again, how to
make sense of reality. which is temporary;
forever is an empty word,
negative space, less definite than never.
which is white noise: quiet,
but not empty. finite, but somehow
incomprehensible and sublime.
with tired eyes and soulless hands,
we slept, dreamed love into caricature,
like something else you didn't believe in.
and we are lying by the ocean now,
as you compare it to your loneliness:
which is worse? i lie awake
in the small hours, my mind full
of contradictions: you love me
in words, but your words don't mean
anything. and every time
i think about you, i feel a little
more lonely, as though it is you,
and not me. i am afraid to take you
seriously; you laugh and then
you threaten to leave. you cry and then
you beg me to stay. you
sing me love songs, ballads about
the romanov children.
the thousand tragedies of living
and how i make it disappear,
so swiftly, on lighter feet than the tide.
you say i am haunted by
the things i have forgotten, but
i don't believe that. i don't
believe anything you say. to you,
it was just sweater weather.
to me, it was an epidemic.
this loneliness has generated
an insatiable need to be closer to you,
to make you want me more.
because i am all mouth now,
all aching: my eyes white whispers
in the darkness, my voice breaking
on your name (click here for
subtitles). and your knees touch mine
as you breathe into
my mouth — all i am, all i wanted;
you kiss me as though
you will never kiss anyone else again.
The Ride With A Devil
"Hey."
"Good morning, Mr. ?"
"Darling, it hasn't even been a minute and you're asking my name? Tsk, tsk."
"Answer the question."
"Ooh, feisty, I like it."
"..."
"Okay, okay, the name's Lucifer. What's yours, honey?"
"Did you just-- Did you call me honey? Pfft, for a devil your vocab sure is limited."
"Hey, take that back."
"Nah."
"You are a feisty one for a dead person, y'know? Most people I see are crying or hysterical by now."
"Nah, I quite expected I'd end up here sooner or later."
"Heh, you're one of a kind, baby. So why?"
"One, don't call me baby. I may be the daughter of the devil, but no. And second, I'm pretty sure heaven doesn't allow cops in especially when they killed criminals."
"Well, what can you say, you killed a person. You broke his command-thingy."
"I'm surprised you know about it."
"Heh, it's the basis of judgment. I, myself, disobeyed every last one of 'em. I need to rebel, y'know. Heaven's full of prudes."
"I've always wanted to ask, I'm fine with hell, but how about purgatory?"
"Honey, when there's good, there's bad. There is simply no in-between in His eyes."
"It's just a legend, then?"
"Pretty much, yeh. Hey look, the shore can be seen."
"It's not hot as I expected it."
"Ha. Ha. Hahahahahahaha. Oh my god, curse that damned ass."
"Hahahahahahaha."
"Never expected to have a laugh with a passenger."
"Never expected to have a laugh with the devil, too."
"Touche. Wait, I'll just anchor the boat."
"Okay. Oh, and the name's Sianus."
"I know, Sianus, I know."
"See ya' later?"
"Probably. But you'd be afraid of me."
"This is hell, Leviathan. I've lost the sense of fear a long time ago."
