end of A Bug.  Hala Madrid!



It's pieces of a plastic cup.  Thank you, for everything you've done for me.

My little dog's porky now and an addict.  She's got the manipulative mind and behavior, but due to mixed messages, I fear.  I'm afraid to show her some tenderness before her bedtime, because that means she's going to be eating ham.

This one time I thought I was going to die after a few days of playtime.  I was on my bed.  A few minutes earlier, I had got to what little was left on the bathroom floor, along with who knows what chemicals.  I didn't know if it was posion, or a heart attack or stroke; I couldn't move or breathe lying on my bed.  When I was standing my whole body was numb.  I kept whimpering in a voice I'll never forget, "please no, please no."  I also kept repeating, "I'm so scared, I'm so scared," in a quick, continuous drone-like monotone.  It felt like my brain had snapped.

I tried to blog "forgive me"

A few hours later I deleted it.  After that time, I got angry.  From then on, I ignored physical symptoms, cause the uncouth fucker was trying to kill playtime.

This other time I thought I had found my video.  I was worn out; I didn't know if I could go again.  Life was dragging me.  I walked into the bathroom and he was sitting on the floor.  If this was the real thing, it would trump everything.  I would have to go again.  This was the Holy Grail; then I would hang myself.  Or go to sleep, forever, waking only for awhile.  I was talking to myself in my head—I was sitting on my bathroom floor hiding with my ipad in my lap—like my father talked to me over the phone when my grandpa had died. I felt like I had my hand slightly on his shoulder when I told him.  There wasn't time for sad; it was bigger. Though here I was telling him that we had found it.  He was tired.  We had been anticipating it for some time, and it was that tip of anticipation, the moment it becomes real.  I watched it in a few more sessions, then when playtime crept up on me then I couldn't remember the title again.  When playtime went wild, this started occurring frequently, and in quick moments passing.  I would save them ferociously; some of them I didn't have time to get to.  It was always her.  Deep down, when it was over, I would bemoan the fact that I couldn't get to the other ones.  I have to see it, all of it.  I became her.  I became him. I became them together.  I knew exactly what each was thinking.  I became every sensation, every moment, and every sound she made.  I wonder if I would hang myself, if it was her.  I don't ever want to know, because I'll never stop.
Life doesn't stink...
I stink!
pee-you!!!
I need to go to Target.
Ives St. Laurent may make a fine fragrance, that's why they make their deodarant so shitty.

umm 
every true smoker knows that a cigarette is but a natural extension of your arm.
umm. every no i said that the next line—it was a joke poem—every

the ridges on your fingers
like a ballerina curling gracefully through your skin
and the package
faggedabodid: it's wholly you

that's why they're ignoring me
they're all secretly conspiring
they do huddles like football players
oh right, throwball

they're going to sneak into my room and steal my trousers
and give it to her husband
my grandpa used to say that about his in-laws when he went senile and cuckoo

How is relapse built?  Sleepless fuckin nights.  The mind won't shut off, and worn down it becomes susceptible much like the body to a cold.  A quick impulse, craving, don't forget the em dash, the sensations of a memory seep in, and what is merely familiar becomes romantic.  The kind of romance that'll eat love, if they are apart too long.  A cigarette. They say read the big book, it'll put you right to sleep.  You know how I feel about reading.  You want to eat mechanically; you've dried out all the food groups, sugar even

i get a high from every single post I make
this is not a wasteland
i love you
this is a wilderness 

Three strikes and you're out, Rocky.

How you guys came up with "playtime," I'm in awe.  Absolute lifesaver.  Thank you.  Thanks for the other night too, lighting up Hollywood with those colors and such.  I wish I could have taken pictures.
