Near golden sunsets

a capitalization of sorts
is knocking around inside
my tepid dreaming fascination

and it's ticking away in
slowmotion
sleep

drawing me down and down and down

into an inevitable upward spiral
pushing red buttons and beeping
bright blue lights

and creeping with the slight
flicking of a tongue along my spine

but I'll settle into a deeper euphoria
crying complacency in your wailing glares
inappropriately dying
of shredded decency
and fading
fading
away

-*-*-

Immortality is my illusion.

I interpreted this in two ways. One made me laugh and grin, the other, cringe.
I think I'll settle in on the first one.

Enjoyed seeing your name on the screen, don't see it often enough.

Me too.

If it weren't so damned cold I'd kick down the walls.

I'd prolly just hurt myself anyhow...


ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH...


my skin's been crawling so long you'd think I would have gotten somewhere by now...



"drawing me down and down and down

into an inevitable upward spiral
pushing red buttons and beeping
bright blue lights"


sigh.

"but I'll settle into a deeper euphoria"

Got any extra?

wah.

chuckle?

I'm unserene today.




(and it's okay folks--we're friends, so he's used to this.)
