MP3

I am beginning to suspect that
at some point in the
not so distant future

They will remove our hearts and
replace them with

tiny little

multi function

15GB

mp3 players.

And we will all be faced with the
critical task of choosing
which song

(fast or slow)
(happy or sad)

our new heart will
beat to

This One Ends

Please forgive me if I'm not
sitting on the very edge of my seat
eyes focused
and eager
but...

I already know how this one ends.

I truly apologize if I'm not
shuddering in anticipation
at the thought of your
mouth on my mouth.

Blood rushing to my tongue.

And do excuse me for not
being overcome with excitement
at the suggestion of having your
heated body on mine.

Devouring you with each breathe.

You see I've played this part once before and
as talented as you are at
spinning a
story...

I already know how this one ends.

A Cross

It makes people
so very
uncomfortable
this tattoo
that sits
bold and beautiful

silent and strong

on the inside of
my wrist.
declaring
my Faith
a sign

a symbol

a tribute

a prayer

A Cross.

And they stare at it (the religious and the non)

with uneasy eyes and look me up and down trying to decide

if I'm
a "real"
Christian
or something
much different.

How silly,
how profound it
seems to me

that people
(the religious
and the non)

become so
easily
unsettled
in the
precense of

A Cross.

Perfect Perfection

You don't know very much about me.

my favorite

colour

food

the most secret wishes of my heart.

But you're so very good at make believe...

creating the daughter you want me to be and

patting yourself on the back for spawning such

perfect perfection.

You deserve a gold star.
