I see great ***** every day in the subway and, suddenly, my favorite Hitchcock movie changes from Rear Window to Vertigo. The movement of the train calms me down and I fall asleep quickly, dreaming that I'm in Kerouac's car, quietly hitting the road like ******* hit his canvas. I see great ******* every day on the bus that takes me home, but not one single ***** for me to lay my ear on. The dream comes to a crossroad where me and Jack have to part ways. He'll go down in history like a great writer and I'll quietly go down on memory lane in oblivion. Memory disappointed me and left a bad taste in my mouth - literary *********** ain't what it used to be.

How do I love thee?  In a way that's bad, by which I mean so bad it's almost good. I need you, and you know it drives me mad. I want you more than any other could. And we could write romances, you and me. I want to hear your Hitchcock movie schtick. I want your everything.  I hope it's free. I want you in my window, and you're sick. And yet you know my raving is a sign I'd rather we were paramours than friends. You're outlawed from the moment that you're mine Until the day our bad romancing ends; I'll love you in a leather-studded bra. Rah gaga gaga roma ooh la la.

First phrase of recent Skype chats
I never asked you for the things you gave me I never asked But you didn't even care If I had asked, would you have shut me out? Or would you have given more? Of your overflowing wine of life or love or energy ( or whatever it was   that you folded into my hands   like the most secret-sacred treasure map ) You would sometimes catch me In a gaze like a doe Ask me things That took time to sink in Because I was being distracted By my urge to count your eyelashes We could never go outside in the cold Because you were terrified That your breath would crystallize  and twist inside your lungs But you loved to see how long you could hold your breath for Underwater There would be pauses As time stilled to take a look at us To check that we really were still there And everything around us swirled Like autumn leaves or glitter stars Our glances would solidify And memory struck out to capture snapshots Everly, I never asked Not even once, but you still gave Everly, I can't quite grasp I see you sometimes When the sunshine's wounding bright Yellow, cheerful, heavenly And I look into the shadows To find rest for my eyes I can never keep straight the present and the past So when I look in the shade I see ghosts of you sprawled out, laughing, head tilted back, hands splayed Your sighs were soft But you only ever sighed them When your face shone With a lovely glow of indulgence We watched Hitchcock religiously We wouldn't give them up You said that you liked Vertigo the best But you never told me why I'll hold your friendship In the cup of my hands While wonder fills up slowly Where my thoughts should be I'll peer over my thumbs To steal a peek at the clear blue crystalline Effervescent memories I will remember you foreverly My word

His silhouette, as he stood by the stone, Resembled a thoughtful Alfred Hitchcock With fine cane in hand, slightly stooped Fingers from his free hand, touching lightly The carefully carved grey marbled stone Lost in thought and dying sunshine A single tear falls, as he smiles Then cane in hand, turns, walks away Carrying the name on the stone with him.

Vertigo (Hitchcock Tribute)
Take me to the place with streets of gold and flowing green pastures where there's no lack of sunshine even when it's raining and I can eat with my favorite people whom were long gone before me I can spend my days writing about whatever thought fills my mind I'll go on far out adventures maybe to the moon or atleast to the stars I'll climb a tree and read a book It'll be a living fairytale There'll be lots of swing dancing & Frank Sinatra in this world With a wonderful fill of Audrey Hepburn & Alfred Hitchcock movies I can see a drive in theater in the distance Along with a cute little diner And a Polaroid camera To capture my fantasy And keep it locked away

Living Fantasy
I pondered the world around me Looking Staring Around to what was seen, Then I happened upon a bird "Just sitting watching me" I waved once, I waved twice, It just put it head to the side Maybe to get a better angle on me, It tweeted And left, the last I thought to see, But where one once was, now I count Two Three Four   Five now perched upon the fence On the tree, I was getting a "Alfred Hitchcock" Vibe, with all little eyes looking at me, I smiled an awkward grin, teeth did show Scattered to the wind, I closed my eyes, noises Singing awoke a slumbering me, Six, Seven, Eight, More birds, sitting on the fence, But also congregating on the branches of the tree, I waved once more, Eyes watching upon me, This is getting creepy So I stood on all fours licking my teeth And purred a "QUESTION" "Why do you congregate" "And watch from a far upon me" Tweeted words sung out to me, "It just catches our attention that you being a cat" Not once, Not twice, But three "Times you have waved at us sitting" Upon a fence, Upon a tree, "Childish games of youth" I purred back, I have a good life, I am not as wild as you think, I wave to say hello To listen to you sing, "I walk up to the fence" Pat once then two on the head you see, "But there is a moral to this tale" "What is that the birds sing" As with reflects to fast to see Not one Not two But three Birds in mouth, they fly, flutter away And with a mouth full I say "Don't believe in what you hear or see" "Were just more sneaky now" Now shoo be gone, unless you wish To all so taste my teeth upon your bodies.. and they flee.

Birds Perched Upon A Fence, Upon A Tree
I pondered the world around me Looking Staring Around to what was seen, Then I happened upon a bird "Just sitting watching me" I waved once, I waved twice, It just put it head to the side Maybe to get a better angle on me, It tweeted And left, the last I thought to see, But where one once was, now I count Two Three Four   Five now perched upon the fence On the tree, I was getting a "Alfred Hitchcock" Vibe, with all little eyes looking at me, I smiled an awkward grin, teeth did show Scattered to the wind, I closed my eyes, noises Singing awoke a slumbering me, Six, Seven, Eight, More birds, sitting on the fence, But also congregating on the branches of the tree, I waved once more, Eyes watching upon me, This is getting creepy So I stood on all fours licking my teeth And purred a "QUESTION" "Why do you congregate" "And watch from a far upon me" Tweeted words sung out to me, "It just catches our attention that you being a cat" Not once, Not twice, But three "Times you have waved at us sitting" Upon a fence, Upon a tree, "Childish games of youth" I purred back, I have a good life, I am not as wild as you think, I wave to say hello To listen to you sing, "I walk up to the fence" Pat once then two on the head you see, "But there is a moral to this tale" "What is that the birds sing" As with reflects to fast to see Not one Not two But three Birds in mouth, they fly, flutter away And with a mouth full I say "Don't believe in what you hear or see" "Were just more sneaky now" Now shoo be gone, unless you wish To all so taste my teeth upon your bodies.. and they flee.

Last night I picked up a self help book I drank some "meditation tea" whatever the hell that is I listened to an awful song that wouldn't remind me of you I tried yoga I even prayed to God God knows it's been awhile since I felt existential I went to my favorite grocer and talked to the most inviting cashier I thought it might help I "channeled" my energy I lifted weights I flirted with my trainer I put on red lipstick I weeped. I blogged I analyzed myself and my family and mostly my dad I "ate my feelings" I googled "how to get over someone" I ripped your love letter in a million pieces I reminded myself of all my "blessings" I drove an extra time around my block I stayed up way too late watching infomercials about beauty and vapid mind numbing consumerism I tried to learn the guitar I called my brother just to hear his voice before the beep and just to hear mine after it I smiled and stared out the window and pretended I was in a Hitchcock film I went outside to smoke a cigarette and I don't even smoke I just wanted to feel the biting cold against my hidden skin I went shopping and bought an overly expensive sweater that won't fit me unless I grew about ten inches I read the Catcher in the Rye eight times And I made this ******* list that makes me feel so utterly hopeless and chaotic catharticism what a messy heart staining my perfectly neat life.

"Listing"
Whispers in the night, Filling your mind with trepidation and fright   Taunting you   Feeding you lies with its twisted sighs All these monsters you hide on the inside of your mind   Are waiting   In the dark corners of your phsyche To come and get you in your sleep   A twisted face With twisted words Pecking at your sanity Like Hitchcock and one of his birds   The worst? Its that you can't escape, Before you were even spawned You had sealed your fate   What did you do? I wonder Who's life did you plunder?   Who's daughter Did you slander To deserve this curse? I can't think of a torture That could possibly be worse

My dreams are dreams of black and white. I dream of the late Cool Hand Luke, And Big Daddy in the rain. I dream of Hepburn, where it's hot, Of Skelton upon his stage. I dream of Jeannie, Of Lucy's man, Of Hitchcock's crazed suspense, And of my freckled friend, named Opie, Relaxing with Papa Griffith. Jethro swings from chandeliers, As daddy fends off fiends. Granny ***** that little hand, Signaling the end.

Welcome to suspense Thought provoking horror Invoking the mystic art of story telling Compelling tales weave in and out of a curious yet terrified mind Stimulated senses, feeling dread, body tenses, psychologically on edge Eyes widen, teeth clinched as the next scene unfolds Security blanket wrapped inside tight fist closed You travel into the unknown; you want to know what's there, that is why you are here to experience the unseen The strange and obscene This is the emotion of mystery; pondering what the outcome will be The fate of our beloved hero or heroine has already been determined by the grand puppet master Ladies and Gents the Director of these wonderfully constructed ill-fated events presents the conclusion that blows the mind, jerks the tears, and chills the spine You have just become a victim of a maetro's imagination, "to provide the audience with beneficial shocks" Just having a little fun with this one

Good Evening Mr. Hitchcock
*A Story of Scientology and the Mental Health System Connection* What you are about to read will shock you. Some may find it extremely disturbing. I will tell you from the outset, also, that i am quite "insane". According to the psychiatrists "Schizo-Affective". Manic-Depressive with Paranoid features. I will freely admit that what you will read here will sound crazy. But please read on. It may be horrifying. It may be weird. It may seem extremely paranoid. But it still interests. It is my desperate hope that you will read. And believe me. For, my "diagnosis" notwithstanding, I am as sane as the next "normal" person. *I AM NOT A LUNATIC!* What you are about to read really happened. *To ME*. It has plot twisting tension that could be put to the credit of Alfred Hitchcock. And a psychological horror that Steven King could emulate. How could I compare my writing to the genius of those great & talented men? I don't. Because, dear readers, I did not conceive of it. It was done to me. I merely convey the technology and techniques used to make any "normal person" appear a ****** Toon of 50 mile high proportions! It exists. And it is excruciatingly painful to be the subject of it. So why would a girl from a comparatively small city, with no seeming accomplishments to commend her, and is actually quite unimportant, be the subject of such hateful torment? *What has she done?* I will convey ALL of the reasons. I did play a part in it. I had a tri-fold lawsuit against a once-high-profile video dating club, who wanted to prevent litigation by thoroughly discrediting me. And I had a very virulent and hateful foe... The "Church" of SCIENTOLOGY.

I miss you something terrible. I can't go ten minutes without thinking about you. Painfully perusing the Could've beens, would've beens, should've beens. You would have celebrated my adulthood at my bat mitzvah. You would have given me advice about high school and Navigating through love and the weird puzzle of self identity. You could have read my writing. You could have appreciated the way my taste has developed. We could have talked horror movies: Stephen King to Alfred Hitchcock I think I could have talked to you about anything. The way I feel vastly alone and empty Like I'll never truly love someone. Did you make me this way? My family compares us a lot. They don't compare you to anyone else. Just me. I miss you something terrible. You'll never see me graduate high school. Hell, you never saw me graduate middle school. You'll never help me pick out a college And then listen to me cry to you over the phone when I'm scared I won't make friends. You'll never see me get married To someone who I actually care about. My memories of you won't last forever. I miss you something terrible.

Something Terrible
~ "Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement." ~ A mixture of sinister and sweet, smoking gun at your feet. Reclining dead in a meadow, or wishing you were as you gaze out your window. Bottling undecided dark, catching keyed-up light, in random, misleading angles. The uniform hour holds Grace, Grant, and the mystery it entangles. Don't look directly at the camera, icy blonde afterimage. Everything you need is written on the page. Number 13, Mrs. Peabody? Don't you know all contemporary escapist entertainment begins by turning your back? Lingering on what suspicious minds track. The migrating voyeurism sits as the crow, wired and unfriendly. The method is an organism, an implication, a crossbow, thought, but unseen. He will push the girl, until you succumb to dream sequences. It's snowing humiliation at Winter's Grace, for out of the male gaze, invading your space, you become gifted at doing nothing well, in sheer under-things, (for inner circles & triangles of fur are all the rage in Europe). Yes, he hates pregnant women, because then they have children. So leave him to his work, to analyze your handwriting, and build that ramp directly into your trailer. His larger than life silhouette will fill the silver screen with tension, trip wire, and a ****** ambivalence, that ends with the violent sound of someone packing a suitcase. He enters by virtue of this door, and you leave through another, and another, and another, until the final scene alters your state of mind. Your pretty little feet dangling precariously over the edge...

Like Hitchcock would have said: Let's go out On dark waters Too deep Because that's where all of you perverts want to go anyway You don't care about happiness in fairy land where it's raining flowers You want AIDS, ADHD, narcolepsy, funerals, junkies, alcoholics, *** **** ****** brothels, snipers, war veterans, drugs, criminals, motorcycles, accidents, models, size queens, gypsies, hairy hung cops, shemales, **** ****** robbery, space aliens, punk, romance, opera, revenge...

HITCHCOCK
Last year, despite his long gone testicles, & 91 dog yrs of innocence, Old Jack got dragged around the whole back yard By his bone, by a coybitch he lives with. He's a lucky dog, but he's 98 Now and down in his hips. He cries at night, Housebound by his infirmities and I Talk to him, touch his head and give him pills. I remember my grandmother's voice-- You old dog you; I love you like jackfrost; Mothers are like that, yes they are. She lived To 95, forgetting for the last Four who she was and where she was and why. Should you or I be 1/2 so fortunate. An old dog doesn't know he's dying, just knows It's harder to live. I blow smoke in his ear And we watch ****** stories, real and imagined. Forensic files, Hitchcock. He struggles to stand. I'm slow at doing what I have to do. This morning, like most, weather permitting, We're 2 blocks down the street from Where we live. He struggles to **** Cancer blocks his peristalsis, makes it difficult To squat. And I  stand ready with my Kleenex, In case he gets it out on neighbor's or The sheriff's lawn. Go ahead old friend, let it Go. I'm right behind you.

Old Dog
I barely know much about him, Just another homeless man I give my aluminum cans (minus the pop) "Where's Wallace?" Got Glad bags full of tin Look for his shopping carts If you connect the dots Within its circumference You may find him in the shade Or sleeping on the lawn Outside the closed apartment gates Or between the carnaceria's walls Alley cat black A good guy at that... He's one of many The growing crew of indigents Nothing new to city streets I met the semi permanent fixtures The regulars that camp out Here on the boulevard, near the Strip Know them by name But barely know who they are I try not to get that close Because you know what they say You feed one pigeon They all flock at once, And Hitchcock's horrors are My own, Nowadays when it's a luxury To have a home, Mine is precarious We all protect our own, That's what they say... Wallace mostly dives alone In the darkness of night Or the end of days When they throw away the food Rules of expiration dates With what I give, it's always fresh, Perishable even for microwaves Those convenient stores that let him in But he's burnt most bridges With his angry mouth ****** it up" dropping F bombs Even half asleep I barely understand him But I begin to when his wife Visits the prison of his concrete streets Brings him the warmth from home Her petite loyalty bigger than any shame I notice that she doesn't notice The looks of blame From the eyes of disapproving Bigots and creeps Wallace becomes someone else As they sit together It's more than just being fed It's an intimate meal. (there's tenderness I see) I couldn't come near to understand How and why he lives This way, under this desert city's iron sky, What a fool he is for romancing the night Collecting minutiae treasure All with broken worth A vagabond crusade with the finger to the world, I can only hope for the best I have no opinion But should he decide   To wake up or realize Such folly of a life I say, it's better to grow and get old Together with his wife But then again I barely know much about Wally Or how the streets are calling Away untoward Those nights that're howling These streets he's prowling Much ado about Wally.

I followed a man down a dark road That twists into a mute galaxy. And all that follows is Silence. But the Silent inherit the stars In a quiet struggle of wills While the lines on the clouds Fade into the withered sky. And all that follows is An anonymous cry.

For the Hitchcock Blonde
This was a horror day, Hitchcock's Day of the Bogans', let's say, Grand Final Day of 2017, The A.F.L.'S very worst dream, When Crows played Tiges, so it seems, Until power blacked out at 2:30, No play was to be seen, Then! A bomb scare at the M.C.G., The whole match was on stall, But wait! That was not all, They had to evacuate them all, The bogans had a mighty brawl, So Tigers played with themselves, good call, Then! Seven inches of rain on the M.C.G., A field of rain and mud was to be seen, They had a regatta, it was now Henley, The A.F.L's very worst dream, Hitchcock's Day of Bogans at the M.C.G., Grand Final Day in 2017......

HITCHCOCK'S DAY OF THE BOGANS
Birds in my youth where delicate like petals Hitchcock put a stop with that with his film The Birds even so I muddled on in my youth and found a woman now Birds is just custard that we have on pudding on Sundays.
