A boy. Short. He goes to school and cowardly hides behind every corner, scouting out what lurks behind the next turn. Always shoved and disregarded, he seemed to have no friends. He was bullied everyday...

I was never one of those
“desirable” kinds.
Never will be.
And I’m okay with that.

But being 14 years old
Stuffing padding down my shirt
And smearing big sister’s makeup across my face

Just to get some 19 year old to...

In Boo Land ...

Every gagged mouth is covered 
by a grave reeker hand
Raven black-cloaked, vomit foul specter
maniacally sob laughing
Someone’s been tilting the tomb bottles again,
tipping thru the Pet Sematary growling

37th Floor
Shiodome City Center
The Japanese Secretaries 
Stand in unison
Upon my arrival
All for me
You shouldn’t have
But thank you

180 degree view of Tokyo

10 Million people
All walking in unison
To a tune I don’t understand
I will never...

Tonight I walk alone
For no apparent reason

Was choking...

A big empty ship, torn sails,
