Coffee shop girl.
Vintage book shop girl.
Thrift store shoes type girl.
They can see it you know...the smudged eyeliner.
They can smell it on you too, the cigarettes, old paperbacks and some boys heavy cheap body spray.
Strange band name girl.
Not brand name girl.
Nervous in the knees girl.
You can’t keep buying your time, trying to be “different,” “weird,” “quirky”...
You can’t keep hiding, you know, in the fairytale stories and the reckless decisions just to feel something.
Dream girl.
I wanna scream girl.
Someone please save me girl.
The outward projection is just an attempt to run from the truth.
You don’t want to be a part of this reality...you never did...you never belonged.
Because in a world where every other person just wants to pick a emotional...mental...physical...fight it seems too hard to keep fighting.
It’s not because you want to be or feel different...it’s because everyone wants to make you be or feel different than them.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
