Living In Hell, Matt Mccormick Apartment 110
Matt didn't mean to lie all the time
he had good intentions but we all
know where those lead.
The Devil told Matt to relax and that he'd
be back real soon.
Matt waits an eternity and a few forevers,
never once realizing the joke was on him.
Deceiving the deceiver.

Little Linda
No one knew
so no one came.
Someone left flowers on her grave.
She died
how she lived,
in secret.

Living In Hell. Damien and Mary Karras Apartment 73
His mother was doomed to sew socks in Hell
so when he heard she got a new apartment
he went down to see her and the Devil gave
him his own room.
Now all he can say is darn.

Living In Hell. Tina Lee, Apartment 33
The Devil said he heard her sobbing but
somehow she convinced him she was
giggling in reverse. Now her tears
roll up instead of down.
Very strange.
Just assume everything is a comic joke
and keep on laughing.

Payday
My life is a series of Fridays.
52 weeks.
The years speed by.
I hate money and bills.
What a waste of time.
To paint and to create
is something for the rich
I can do it in the closet
but I'll never be able to exist off of it.
Depression is a smile that is worn like
clothes that change only every other day.
Who fucking cares anyway when you're
only living for payday.

Singularity
She was a star
he was an enigmatic black hole
consuming anything that got to close
and wouldn't ya know it,
she got lost in his orbit
never to be seen again.

Turning Him Into Dust
She waited until after they
had sex to tell him she had found
someone new, then asked if he could
get it up again for round two.
He got dressed and left.
She laid back and laughed.
You don't just break a heart you stomp it.

Slurping It Off The Spoon
She emptied her soul
into a bowl and watched him
eat it like cereal,
consuming every last drop
he couldn't stop until she,
was nothing more.

One With The Vapor
He found an abstract kind of happiness
lurking in the fog that swallowed his town.
He couldn't see anything, he didn't want to.
The mist had taken over everything.
Stepping into the street it all felt so free,
he walked, loomed and hovered with it.
His arms felt like wings he started to pick up
his pace.
Arms flapping and a smile on his face
as the miasma filled his lungs, he ran.
The sound of a million birds squaking
the squealing tires of a braking car.
He was hit at the knees and went flying

He Wasn't Wearing Keds
She stood in her driveway power smoking
a cigarette, Watching as night met the day.
She doesn't sleep much.
Lays awake thinking.
Thinking. Thinking.
No dreams. No nightmares.
She tossed her cigarette into an old coffee
can and called the stray cats she's been
feeding.
Ladybird! Mike Morris! Bowbandie!
All 3 came running as she popped open two cans of tuna, of course, she got tuna juice all
over her pants and hands but the kitties
didn't mind as much as she did.

All Ears
She deals with all her pain alone.
The curse of a great listener.
No one hears her when she speaks.
She stopped.
No one noticed.
They were too busy talking.

The Candle Still Burns
He told her magic wasn't real.
She laughed.
He has been under her spell for years.
