Change
I am not under the assumption that I understand everything. I think I come off as that way, to friends, family, and people I don’t know. In some places, my knowledge is helpful, and in some places my notion of knowledge in a particular subject is obnoxious – perhaps even rude. I feel as if I know quite a bit at eighteen when I know I do not; a lot of my decisions are based on impulse, want, and feelings.
I am a nightmare. (more…)
Ecliptic
AUTHOR: Tarma
Go, speed racer, go (even a little hand-drawn racetrack can go on to infinity). It’s all about sensations now, isn’t it? With the past and present and all possible futures swimming about, sometimes it’s easy to take a seat, put on your 3D glasses, and reach around…but then you reach out to grasp a couple of the protozoa and you discover that the popcorn in your lap is just about the only real thing you got. Easy enough to see, yes?
It’s not the right time for this (and how many times has that been said?). It’s a Libra year and the planets are all wrong and Jupiter will never be so bright as it is now. “But wait!” cries the waitress. “Stars are nothing more than fireballs, Miss Mario.”
And slowly, sweetly, I slip back into the literal. A breath in a warm room. A loud voice in a glass hall. A day to fall in love, a year to learn to hate…and Saturday’s child spreads frosting on her fate. All real things dance around me with their bright-colored veils. READ MORE…

Why We Held Together
AUTHOR: Richard Edwards
He had the gun
in my face, night stars
above the apartments dark
and asleep, the four of us
alive and sliding around in the grass.
It’s all I remember from my boyhood.
I was born
at the end of a clicking pistol,
and my friends were my killers
