Been carrying a gun for a little over a year now, and I just gotta say that it has been such an immense relief. The knowledge that, no matter where I am and no matter what may happen that I have an easy and convenient way to blow my head off at a moments notice. That knowledge was well worth the inconvenience of getting my concealed carry license, worth it ten times over. It's like being blessed with beautiful power, power beyond my previous comprehension of what it means to truly not give a **** about anything. To really be impervious to anything, any little slight, any angry person flipping me off in traffic, any loss of love or heartbreak. I walk with a white grace that has never existed in my mind before, I carry peace on my hip, I carry sacred silence from the repetitive thoughts that tend to haunt my consciousness. I'm invincible. It's like a fun little secret that I walk around with, it's like my head is full of confetti and I'm just waiting for the perfect surprise party!

Like a pocket full of balloons.

Ugh
Fat people are so gross.

Dear reader,
beloved consumer of my words.
I want you to hate me.

Comparing my driver's licenses,
my eyes stay the same
but, God,
my face sure has grown.
Tiny little eyes stuck in my big fat head.

There's a dog barking
and
I'm in a chasm.
My life is a chasm
and there are dogs
barking.

God, the incessantly persistent barking.

It echoes and
I'm barking,
the dog is a chasm.

I'm barking and echoing and
my head is ground into dust.
Eyes squinched shut,
nails dug into my palms.

I snap back to reality
with my hand on my gun.
My Springfield 9mm that I wear on my hip,
fully loaded. The grip is sweaty but the dog is gone.
The barking quiets.

I rummage through my memory
in search of
sleep.

Blessed sleep.
Zzz.

Woof

My eyelid twitches.

A hushed "ouch,"
reddened cheeks.
Blindfolds, safe words,
and bound wrists.
I like my love on a leash.
I love watching you breathe.
I adore the way you beg "please."
I covet this visage,
I could keep you like this
for weeks.
I slip inside,
I dip my pride
into your calm waters
and relish in your warm creek.
I love the way you weep.

I love the way

you weep.

Rivulets of salt
and I don't hear a peep.
No struggle,
no fight left indeed.
Have I gone too far,
my clasp
overpowering
your gasps?

Whatever,
still feels good

to me.
