Christmas time
When the lights twinkle and excitement thickens the air. Laughter, anticipation, joy, innocence. Behind the children singing in their mother-made costumes…
Oven: Part 4
Being an oven’s a tough job. If the duty of an oven were an easy one, we’d be called “refrigerators”. It’s easy to slow and cool food down, but only the best…
Oven: Part 3
I make pizzas harder than a boulder crispy and hot. I make doughy chocolate chip cookies that are warm and melt in your mouth. I make those heartwarming…
Oven: Part 2
Ovens are the class of all kitchens. Microwaves are for lazy bums who just want a quick meal to be made in a matter of minutes. The dishwasher always misses…
Oven: Part 1
I do my best when my back’s against the wall…which it always is. And I’m always hot. Or should I say en fuego? People need to be careful with me or else…
Clock: The Fourth Quarter
There are plenty of ways to waste one’s time, but wasting time by looking at a clock is an absolute waste of wasting one’s time. At least make that wasting of…
Clock: The Third Quarter
Unless my batteries go, I’m just going to tick and tock all day long, and my grandfather’s gonna ding a certain amount of times depending upon the hour. No one…
Clock: The Second Quarter
I guess Cyndi Lauper was almost right: if you’re lost or bored in class or waiting for a flight, you can look and you will find me, time after time. Time is…
Clock: The First Quarter
What time is it? Don’t ask. Don’t look at me. Please, don’t. Stay away, back off, turn around, look somewhere else. However you wanna say it, just don’t look…
the tramp and her kid
Rainy and cold day in London, a tramp, Grace, with her kid beside the street are starving. Her kid is murmuring,”I feel uncomfortable and hungry.” Grace is…
Bottle
You’re glaring at the empty and innocent bottle on the edge of the desk. I could not justify dirtying a glass after the dishes were finished. No, that’s not…
A Day Out
“I like it now that it isn’t foggy! I could see birds.” My sister’s tiny boots were still too much for her to manage by herself, and so at the end of the day…
Another June Day
It was just another June day. It was the late afternoon, after I had come home from school. It was merely days until my high school graduation. I don’t…
Campus Philosophy
“We are all in one of two places.” The kid paused and glanced around before continuing. “Either one is chasing false hope, or realizing their hope is false and…
Careless
I couldn’t care less. I don’t care any more. I could still change my mind, but it won’t change the score. We didn’t really have a choice, we didn’t play, but…
Resolution
Another round of drinks? Another night, methinks. An appointment I have dreaded, is headed my direction. One night’s indiscretion, a heart full of…
Paradoxes: Visitations of the Lowly
A world of squalor paraded before young Talus’ eyes, blinking in and out of existence behind the wooden bars of his cage. Nobles floated along, oblivious…
A Change of Prose
Hair of black and eyes of subdued green, Milton blended into the crowd, a morose footnote on the liturgy of life. Hands a quiver he wrote and wrote…
Let Your Intuition Guide You
Intuition is my guide. It tells me what to focus on and where to go. It means everything to me. I can fall back on my intuition to figure things out if there…
Untitled
I’m up way too late again thinking about unpleasant things we all have to face. How sudden our lives will end one day. How it could end painfully and without…
