Lady Liberty"You've a large malignant mass," the Dr told her. She appeared gaunt in the feeble glow of x-rays despite being more than a little over-weight. / She was full of words, good words, too but she said nothing at the news biting hard on her lower lip. / She paid for the visit with a nearly maxed-out credit card. She had never been sick like this before but she had to admit, at least to herself, that she always seemed a little broke.

RunMonsters, they're real but not what was expected. / You thought they'd be green instead of orange. You pictured fangs, not porcelain. / You expected a lot more blood and gore where there's this methodical, languishing torture.

UnforcedIt just doesn't work like that. Like a big switch in my head, (grubby and greasy with finger prints), buzzing and humming when turned on. / Actually, maybe it's just like that but... / the thing is, if I were to ramble 'bout all the ways you are just so god ******

The Weight of my Shirt and a Killer WhaleI didn't have the right shirt on so she sent me home to change into something more appropriate because the people throwing the party were a little bit more than just well-to-do and I did because I generally don't like to argue but my second choice was no better than the first so I left again and then once more until she was exasperated enough to let my apparel go even though I was still less than presentable and I followed her through room after cavernous room adorned with Botticelli and Goncharova, way too expensive furniture, cutting edge electronics wired to speakers that screamed "nah nah na nah nah to ground trembling base until finally we emptied out into acres and acres of back yard where there were scores of people milling about and a pet killer whale swimming around that would occasionally rise up out of the water to splash guests to their amusement, sometimes grabbing one of them by the leg or arm and gently pulling them down to the bottom before releasing them and back up they would come to break the water gasping and giggling which tickled those wandering about but I didn't get what was so funny at all so my face was that of consternation which in hindsight might have been that last straw because she was looking at me, not with the smile she once had of someone completely enamored and enthralled but instead, her countenance was that of someone entirely perturbed and she certainly was with my piss-poor etiquette, lack of insight and my rather limited wardrobe and it was just then that that whale rose up and crashed down again sending a massive wave that totally enveloped us making me realize in an instant that she might have been right about my shirt, for mine was made of silk and certainly it would have been better to be sporting nylon or rayon or, at least, something as wrinkle resistant as polyester for she still looked quite perfect smiling back plastic at the raucousness of those watching and I knew then that I wouldn't be seeing these people at the next big party which weighed on me more heavy than that wet shirt and the loss of her crushed me more than if that mighty mammal had landed on my chest but, oddly enough, when I awoke from that dream, it was with a lightness of relief finding myself lucid again in a world for which I am far better suited.

You Know She's Good When...You watch a ****** movie / and it rates 1.3 stars higher / because you watched it with her.
