And you were looking out the window.

“The human existence is plagued with a multitude of tragedies. The galaxies are filled with empty holes of forgotten space and time. Empires crumble, republics flounder and yet fools always seems to survive.” . . . . . If you want to dance but have forgotten how: Manifest Through Fiction.

While I’ve Got a Minute

by MortRainey October 29, 2008

I think I’ll head North. “Good Old North” as Jerry would say. As Albee would say. As we all should say–not to moralize or preach–but fucking say it. Let’s head North together. I’d like to have some company, and we’ll never go Due North, no NEVER due north. Due North is the straight line. Let’s [...]

The Engineer

by BlueCadet3 October 29, 2008

I have an eight-and-a-half pound locomotive in my skull. I am in charge of its comings and goings. Apparently, some people have expectations of how, when, and where it should be arriving. I certainly haven’t checked any schedules in a while. I’m just feverishly shoveling coal onto the fire while making no attempt to hide [...]

Two Of Em.

by besatree October 27, 2008

Edge of the seat dreams, diminished. Long trips with little promise taper down and out. Idle hands itching to create and destroy have become able hands pounding out frustrations on a tabletop. The occasional text message is by no means equal to face time. Welcome to my double standard.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS: Pretend it was in the script.

by JackDeadmen October 22, 2008

I have been an angel and a demon, devil and saint. Have I failed to mention that I am not a man of conviction, but rather a man of confliction … Fliction—-hmm, I will have to look into that word, or else coin it for sure … I am always at odds within myself, and [...]

Journey to the center of the dearth

by zero/of/the/day October 22, 2008

At the end of the day, we’re all write here because we have to be. Without this predilection, we would be nothing more than the saps we strive to separate from. Members of a herd we didn’t sign up for, cult followers without consent. There is nothing more special in this world for a chap [...]

red colored paper

by MortRainey October 20, 2008

i have a box of red colored paper. waiting to be written on, most hopefully in pencil. the pen feels fine, and it looks better at first, but it stains, oh how it stains! i find myself trying to take care of this red colored paper. i watch it, and listen to it, and [...]

Ode to My Pilgrim

by BlueCadet3 October 20, 2008

My Billy, my Billy. So quiet have you been these days of late. Under what far off moon does my Pilgrim wander through time tonight? Pray I, that its gentle beams of light bring forth the words I know burn within thine furnace of a soul. That they might radiate through the mines to find [...]

Unmailed letter to a cheating girlfriend (or Welcome home, honey)

by zero/of/the/day October 20, 2008

Do you really think I’m going to stand idly by while you Hollywood Blvd. yourself all over some douchebag’s Pine Ave.? How could you imagine, in that frigid, molested, self serving little bloodpumper of yours, that I would want to stay with you? You think I need this kind of pain and torture in my [...]

my, my, my…

by MortRainey October 18, 2008

the courage to be alone. the jains say there is a heaven, but it takes more courage to remain on earth. you are my heaven. i am my earth. i must teach myself to spend months alone in the woods in the dark all alone with myself but oh, how i want [...]

ramble

by MortRainey October 18, 2008

something beats in my head but i can’t put it down on the page it seems so bland it is when i try to translate the emotions i feel that i cant label them with words are not enough they only are when they work together.

My own private tahoe

by zero/of/the/day October 13, 2008

You caught my eye immediately. I stopped looking to avoid appearing creepy. I snuck glances. I gave you a shirt in an attempt to start a conversation, but then failed on the actual talking part. You walked in the next night and I was smitten. You approached me and I nearly ran. We laughed together [...]

Ebb & Flow

by BlueCadet3 October 10, 2008

When you’re having trouble figuring out whether you’re overwhelmed or just bored, it is a clear indication that it’s time for a cup of tea. When she never seems to call like she said she would, it is time to meet new people. When you sit down and post it on CitM, it is officially [...]

I awakening

by rottenrocks October 8, 2008

Someone please! Break these crutches. Lead pipe, 2×4, golf club. Take a swing Break up the barley the malt, the sour mash. Give me something to feel to love, to hold. The worlds lonely and cold. Every racing thought cooled with a drink. Slowed down to a stupper. Some shout there love and anger. [...]

seriously…….what?

by zero/of/the/day October 7, 2008

‘ring ring’ ‘ring ring’ ‘hello?’ ‘something something something’ ‘what?’ ‘something something something something’ ‘what the eff are you talking about?’ ‘sorry, just wanted to tell you something, guess I started rambling’

O’Neill Should Have Been a Seagull

by MortRainey October 2, 2008

And I should have been a brick. Feeling no warmth, but on a hot day. Feeling no care, but when terrible things happen. And feeling no love, but when loved. Feeling no feeling. stop fucking around and tell me that everything will be O.K, stop [...]
