COLD, HARD flesh - a very lonely girl in a room filled with fluttering moths and fully-functional nooses - Makes a game plan, in an effort to:   - penetrate your wavering, wandering, yet wholly conscious mind (The fate - the fear - lurks in the futility, the fragility, of your unsuspecting ears) - Equipped with: an anchor (the rock-climbing kind, in order to avoid a metaphor), followed by some paper (and a pen - the use of my blood as script seems overly dramatic), and - a concoction of incredible (and edible!!) proportions                     THE GOAL: - To become the smallest presence possible, to take up the tiniest amount of space in the real and imagined world, and to in turn envelope your very existence - like a Sunday driver in rush hour - with emphasis on: The slope of your neck - I could mount my anchor into it and climb for days; I could nest in your ****** Youth cut when I reach the top, I could build the world's smallest fire with the world's saddest hands                     STEP ONE: When secured in predesignated cocoon, I will unleash the first sheaf - a perforated edge - and enclose a minuscule fragment of my still-breathing soul (for your keychain, perhaps, but preferably your pocket)                     STEP TWO: I will mail you a fraction (incidentally, a subject I still can't grasp) every week until: - I have decreased in size with each turn, I get smaller and smaller until my tangibility disappears entirely and the only presence left of me is a slip that reads: - apply to areas affected (only as directed) Wait! No, not only that- my very own subconscious now rests inside your "thinking cap" - INTRODUCING: Your every day monotony, now littered with: - 17 scratched mix CDs you didn't want to listen to - 4 dogs I secretly liked (and only you knew) - a bright pink dumpster, largely livable - a rusted mailbox with an ocean in full - soundless Skype calls in stolen sweaters - alphabet soup with undiscernable letters - the unfaltering presence of a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness - confused with the very small and haunted town I couldn't leave to see you - and last but not least - The ceaseless, repeated  chorus of "you belong to me", like an immortal fly in an endless August dream

With Dreams of Getting Stuck in One Place
COLD, HARD flesh - a very lonely girl in a room filled with fluttering moths and fully-functional nooses - Makes a game plan, in an effort to:   - penetrate your wavering, wandering, yet wholly conscious mind (The fate - the fear - lurks in the futility, the fragility, of your unsuspecting ears) - Equipped with: an anchor (the rock-climbing kind, in order to avoid a metaphor), followed by some paper (and a pen - the use of my blood as script seems overly dramatic), and - a concoction of incredible (and edible!!) proportions                     THE GOAL: - To become the smallest presence possible, to take up the tiniest amount of space in the real and imagined world, and to in turn envelope your very existence - like a Sunday driver in rush hour - with emphasis on: The slope of your neck - I could mount my anchor into it and climb for days; I could nest in your ****** Youth cut when I reach the top, I could build the world's smallest fire with the world's saddest hands                     STEP ONE: When secured in predesignated cocoon, I will unleash the first sheaf - a perforated edge - and enclose a minuscule fragment of my still-breathing soul (for your keychain, perhaps, but preferably your pocket)                     STEP TWO: I will mail you a fraction (incidentally, a subject I still can't grasp) every week until: - I have decreased in size with each turn, I get smaller and smaller until my tangibility disappears entirely and the only presence left of me is a slip that reads: - apply to areas affected (only as directed) Wait!
