“marmalade ringlets revolving like fire
lit swans in snow banks”

“Take a joyride in a hypnotizing time machine”

“forced to swim for their lives to their neighbors’ house on slightly higher ground in the middle of 174mph winds”

“The living and the dead are just alike in most respects, interchangeable”

“every time I eat, I am digging my grave with my spoon”

A silence. Waiting, remembering, dreaming.

“we held our story up against the one we had been taught about marriage and virginity and sin”

“there’s blood drops coming down from the ceiling”

“yr fat, yr too emotional…”

“the kiss of the devil

is pressed in a book”

“I… live my daily life as a man, but I am very deeply both genders.”

“Fulfilling a desire to communicate without interacting…”

“When he pulls the knife, I remind him
I’m already dead.”

“either way, I look like something from Ed Gein’s woodshed”

“Drugs, in the 1970’s, they was a sign of the times”

“…today’s common, and confused, view of the female form…”

“Son of a bitch! Give me a drink!”

“He’s one of them queerz.”

“one of the masked rapists dangling naked from a hangman’s rope”

“My sexuality is there with me and she’s fine. I don’t second guess her.”
