Running With Rabbits 08/03/07 Signaling with my extended right pinky to the ferret waving to me he picked up on my code signal and ran into the kitchen to bring me a glass of grapefruit juice and a piece of vanilla cake. Jumping into my lap for chin scratching and words of reward what he really wanted to hear was if he was going to finally get a new BMW for his birthday so he could cruise around town and pick up the most popular bunnies.

Walls 12/01/07 Four walls surrounding me four white walls with no windows and one small doorway walls bare of any pictures or paintings the walls start to look like prison bars suffocating space even though I can walk around and enter and exit the doorway into a room with another four walls like the first one. A caged animal feels freer lurking around the corner of the wall where the doorway leads to the cell where I sleep. Did I say cell? I meant room, of course. I would never be placed into a cell with nowhere to go nothing to do or see when I have my best friends with me all the time living on the ceiling to floor shelves Sand, Maupassant, Colette and Zola in residence free of rent or lease owned and loved by me there is always more room within these walls for new residents next week, Dumas and Flaubert are moving in with me.

Interspecific Apposition 12/20/07 Peacock vibrant azure glanced at me displaying his tail enigmatic smile a pickup line normally common only this one spoke into my heart the bar I met him at offered nectar created by the butterflies served by dragonflies tending the intoxicating drinks whispering among themselves how he came here once a week on the same time at the same time seeking that one perfect mate craning his neck he faced me investigating my appearance and inquiring about my health he wanted to be sure his potential mate would be able to provide him with the attention needed and a successor immortal when his tail delicately brushed my right cheek signifying it was time to leave with him leaving the bar I followed him back to his nesting ground when he blinked his eyes at me and finally spoke, "Thank you for being the vessel of my life."

Today's Event 01/05/08 The letter at the bottom of the stairs had the right address on it from down south where my cousin's best friend went to college to study chemistry and rhetoric. He was the only guy I knew who read Diderot as a hobby and collected medieval artwork of fabulous animals that visited Alfred’s court. Once we got to know each other he extensively shared memories of his days at Hampden Sydney and never forgot to mention every time how he was the center for the basketball team and never missed a game during his entire academic career. He once sang the entire catalog of Queen songs for a contest during spring break winning first place and the prize was a fortune cookie from the Chinese take out restaurant over on Fifth Street. More often than not he would visit me first when he came to town, even before he went to the automotive store to look at the new radials.

Fervent Dulcitude 02/24/08 Conversation entailing words unexplored one person observing in silence peering into a territory forbidden to discover a monster unleashed a heavy door quickly shut and bolted intrusion prevented soon enough a rare beautiful flower nurtured to its fullest growth happy in a house every day a celebration with a salad and corn on the cob filet mignons French fries with cookies and cakes for dessert while sitting in front of a fireplace descending into a world secure free from stress and obstacles to our shimmering limbs welded into a solitary container vibrating constantly changing shape but never cracking open to release this feeling of quiescence supreme.

Sealed Affection 03/09/08 Two swans on a crystal lake the female of the birds leans over to nuzzle her mate for life necks embracing feathers gently caressing creating sparks of desire while the lucid breeze among the cypress trees dances in the sky clouds disappear behind the two moons shining upon each of the birds transformed into two spirits floating through eternity.

Meeting Through The Glass 04/09/08 Billowing pillow upright in front of my face perfect for me to smother my frustrations in rubbing to the left rubbing to the right rubbing up rubbing down hands covering strong sweet refuge transformation into living breathing warmth permanent lingering across space and time unexpected always present repeatedly solicited squeezes unique from the giver himself.

Midnight Stroll 05/28/08 Awoken early in the twilight morning by the tepid air breathe scintillating particles upon my face I felt my heartbeat slow after exultation the touch that never left the night before that was the same feeling potentate since it commenced two years ago obliteration of tiny insignificant particles extraneous useless and undue for our present arrangement being at one divorced from the grasp of super curious eyes mouths and hands that have unknowingly been shielded by an impervious wall unseen by everyone but us.

Bold Journey 05/28/08 A narrow dirt road winding around a lake lined by tall grass leading through a forest where the party resides among the unseen people laughing drinking nectar from the honeysuckle trees and garlands of wildflowers tossed about each person's neck bidding farewell to each passerby who stopped to join but had a more pressing engagement further up the road empty spots by the sides were a combination of bleak and lively too common for the traveler to want to take part of. Winding up to a small hill the path is covered by a whipped sugar fog welcoming an appropriate end right up to five small headstones each one read slowly anticipation of my own name on the last one where I am supposed to be buried but I am not.

Life Anew 06/15/08 Darkening orbs in my lungs making it impossible to breathe one tiny stream of cool soothing water rich in minerals entering my veins coming to life nourished by the warmth sparkles of comforting thoughts unprocessed data stored in the heart not a computer insensitive to caresses skin ethereal invisible to everyone except me living in a heart of one none can assume vulnerability deception of weak appearance is protection once confusion purged from the guard towers separating the bond between us and those outside the wall of perfect contentment strength exuding the origin within the soul of birth.
