Quickie
Pretty Red Stockings
“Pretty Red Stockings….Pretty Red Stockings…Pretty Red Stockings..” I whimsically sing..placing pointed toes, followed by left leg; into the stocking (Humming)…”hum.hum…hum…hum.hum” settling my right foot into the stocking…. around my heel, up my ankle, past my knee, now, stuck at my thigh… “Pretty Red Stockings….Pretty Red Stockings…Pretty Red Stockings..” I gleefully, sing. Spreading my fingers wide…

Silly Little Fishy
Silly Little Fishy Out the tank you leaped..ignorant and deafbuck eyed and free Thirsty for more..bigger, deeper, seas. Hungry for what you “thought” was on the other-side of the glass Silly Little Fishy “The lake has dried up..there’s no water here and the oxygen isn’t that good either.” I watch as you gasp and flap. …
Words
Itching to get out… fine hair stands on end at my neck.. (straight, curved, jilted and edged…spaced… crowded, bold and exclaimed lost before caught. Empty thought… fragmented lines.. incomplete lost sentences, black-outs and white-outs anxious and excited speechless and loud from cerebral hemispheres, to spine..to shoulders, to arms, elbows, wrist then fingers..Point. Type, stamp, click,…

Night Navigator
Night train.. rolling over hills, and drifts, winding roads..and worn metal. 11:16 pm. Take the Eastbound train. Exit at Stadium Subway. Head West to 4th street. Pass the Ball Park, 2 blocks ahead, on the other side of the highway. Down the Street. Around the corner. Behind the alley. Past the iron gate. To the right. …
Squawk the Crow
Squawk the Crow…Nevermore. It’s after midnight..why are you pecking at my front door?.. Didn’t I say..to not come round here..Nevermore..no more?! Go away Crow you’re not welcome…anymore! I heard your pickup spinning up and down the street… Wheels viciously turning with rubber burning…in fiery red heat. I heard the phone ring and ring ….then the…
Doll
He wants me.. ……………………though he knows me not. He wants me.. ……………………..he thinks I’m beautiful “You’re my Living Doll..” he whispers at my earlobe…though he’s never really seen me. He wants me.. ……………………..he wants my legs wrapped around him, ankles crisscrossed at his waist, holding, gripping, and lifting me…though he’ll never ever feel me. He…
This Is A Stick Up!
I want the American Dream: Clean, Pristine, and Green! Give me a Big Butt with Wide Hips and Full Lips..with Taut Thighs, Thin Waist and Heavy Breast…Tucked Lower-back and High Rump..So, that every time I walk it appears as if I am wearing a 6 inch, high-heeled pump. Give me Silky Skin and Pearly-Perfect Whites…A…
