[hometext] => n/a always, abraham
[bodytext] => There is nothing left to say. I sit quietly, alone; full of ideas, full of *****. The world flashes a mad grin and slithers down my spine. A star begins to press at the boundaries of my vision, skirting away even as I consider the profundity of its existence. It is much like my own existence. A white wall, or peach; a glass woman seeking the foot of my bed; books, a hat, soda cans, dust and dust and dust with shirts and shoes. Spare change sleeps soundly to my left; an A&W mug mocks the face of my face, a prism in the distant thunder of my dreams. There is a war to end all war painted on every street, in every window, in every breath breathed. We are so quick to occupy our minds. I remember the way the light hit the sequins of her dress. I remember fire, lifted over Arizona skies. I remember laughter, and more, I remember my own laughter. It is justice served that I am set here, alone. It is justice served that I am bitter, lonely memory. It is true; I have nothing left to say.
