Deus Ex Machina

The phrase "deus ex machina" means "god from the machine" in latin. It's often a short cut, or cheap plot device used in stories when a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly resolved, by the intervention of a character, circumstance, ability, or object. In the same way, we desire for problems in our lives to be…

Goodbye, Hello

I'm not a fan of goodbyes. I rather say hello to people. One time when I was back in my home state, Rhode Island, that I was saying goodbye and "have a good life," it broke a girl's heart. I was being sarcastic and all, but truthful. I wouldn't know when I would see them…

Summer Stragglers

I took summer in   and bit into you like a soft peach  these days are blending all together   like the mixing of orange sunsets and flamingo pinks on a canvas     The authorities let their tongues roll out   and they pour out half-truths   Our limbic systems   caught in morning congestion   Three old lady witches   brew their…

Immortal

my skin cool silver fish scales  my brain bursting, harboured in my skull  They say beauty fades   But I was an archaeologist   unearthing more than the relics of Saints  I heard a hint of story left untold   a remnant of the collected figurines  that would speak    that would laugh that would cry  that would be mad   I am the immortal…

Repetitions

strange how we  repeat the same   repetitions   as we rewind   and forward  and fast-forward  then rewinding into   another collapsible situation   and then we pine again for her and  then we relapse into insanity again   and then we revisit these  broken down dreams  and we rehash these remnants   of a watered down plot points  and we feigned emotion  and we recasted ourselves  and we recreated…

Dull pain

I fell from a 20 story building and shattered my femur, my pelvis, my bones I turned back into dust again to believe that I could come to life again for my spirit to leave this ephemeral body I took a shadow persona for no particular reason for no particular season And when I didn't…
