All right, go easy on me. I've had writer's block for well over a month and I'm trying to write again. It's hard. Please, if this sucks, someone tell me. Simpatico Rancid… Jagged postures bent on the backs of forgetful men. Broken sandal straps on aged feet pleading for something final to hold onto. Dementia weaved woefully into the heads of stiff men. Heads, snapped in half risen a somewhat drug high thirty miles high into the heads of stifled stratosphere. Bled to a point where there’s no point for bleeding. Silent, distant, morbid happiness, forgotten and replaced. Sunken, beaten, and faced with distain. I remember the orange things I did believe in somethings, some were, no one ever told me that this sort of thinking wasn’t meant to be thought. Never told, but we still tend to like it… Once you are truly insane, it’s all picnics with Kafka after that. See, it’s the process of going crazy that you gotta worry about. |

Here's why I love your writing -- Broken sandal straps on aged feet pleading for something final to hold onto. That is what you do that is so distinctly special about you. That's how I see it anyway. I have been looking for your work and waiting for your return. I am not disappointed. I think you are on your way back -- and I am delighted. aziza |

These words appealed to me on a primal level I wasn't even aware of: Broken sandal straps on aged feet pleading for something final to hold onto. You can kiss your writers block goodbye. To thy own self be true |

That's fair enough, thanks. And I said to the devil, "You better leave my spleen alone." |

I think this is awesome work Ed. It's a difficult premise to capture the surreal with a subtle sharp reality, but you have done this. Much enjoyed. |
