This blog (what a cursed word!) will be a dizzying mix of excerpts from two of my ongoing pieces of written work and various things that just come to me as I see fit. The following bit comes from something I wrote one July 31st 2008:
Oxidized:
Swallow hard and let it slow your heart. You clench your jaw as the conflicting chemicals battle for control of your body. You’re not really sure which one you’re rooting for but you’re desperate for some sort of altered state of mind. Is this another one of your subconscious attempts to make a nippy exit stage left? You know it won’t work but you can’t help but invite the savagely appealing thought into the forefront of your psyche and offer it a drink. You forget that you and the teetering notion are old friends- she will never abandon you nor will she cease to offer you the trickster way out.
