The CigaretteHis father is asleep on the couch with the TV onHe finds his shoes by the light of the History Channel. With the volume low, the creak of the wood flooring is louder than the guns of Iwo Jima. The last time he had to sneak around the house like this was high school, back when he still lied to his parents and long before she had asked him to quit. But she isn't here now, and a part of him knows this must be done. In his room he is gathering his things. The keys, his wallet, and a leash for his dog, who he loves too much to leave behind. On his way out the baThe Cigarette

How Does That Make You Feel?"I don't know," Death said, staring at the ceiling. "I guess I'm just shy."How Does That Make You Feel?
"And how does that make you feel?" asked Freud, doodling a penis in his notebook. Likely his father's.
"Lonely," she answered, counting off on her fingers. "Alone, lonesome. It kinda gets tiring when everybody you touch dies, you know?"
"Perhaps if you left the scythe at home whenever you went out," Freud suggested, growing tired of his doodle.
"But I like it," Death answered, holding it tighter. "It's my only real friend."
"Is it your only friend be


FutureAnna has only just met Jacob, but already she knows what is going to happen.Future
She can see her future, in brief snapshots: two empty coffee cups on a table; stale popcorn and romantic comedies; a shoulder in the moonlight; a rose on her bed; curtains closing. And then, as her mother often said, it would all end in tears.
"Where did you go to university?" Jacob asks. "Heather told me you did an arts degree."
"Canterbury," Anna says. "And I didn't do arts. I did law and commerce. She's always getting things wrong."
Jacob laughs. "Yes, that's Heather for you. Would you like another drink?"  


MillHer name is Millicent, but no one calls her that. Millicent is a name for old aunts. And Millie doesn't quite fit, either; she was called that as a child, back when she was skinny and flighty and charming. Now that she has filled out and grown tall and strong, and chopped her hair off at the chin, they call her Mill.Mill
"You should move to the city," her oldest brother, Jacob, tells her. "Find a husband. It's what our parents would have wanted."
But Mill's parents are dead, and that means she can do what she wants. And what she wants is to work on the farm, planting crops and shearing sheep. Her two brothers don't reall


Sunburn SuicideIn the city, I saw a pretty Boy in solemn greenSunburn Suicide
He was drowning in the sun Channeling my loaded gun Saline tides so serene
Took his aim With unyielding shame Oh, sweet, mystified, obtuse Then, with grace so sublime, I tossed to him my life line In heat waves so abstruse
Silly baby
mistook it for a noose


Ginsberg to 50I have given you all and still you have nothing. You have not found your lost generations,Ginsberg to 50
your beats, hippies, and pranksters. You are void empty digressing. Where is your cause?
Once, you had punks but now there are no punks or hardly any if there still exists a mohawked youth and, anyway, they lacked a radical essence. Youre devolving thru time.
Burroughs is underground I dont think hell come back its sinister.
I again wonder if this is a practical joke.

four boys and I. There were four boys and I, back in London, and we'd run the streets after dark like the largest of owls, a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and someone's shirtsleeve in the other. We'd tear down posters from the lampposts on the corners and smash in headlights with our bare knuckles. We never stopped moving, my four boys and I; not back in those days, we didn't. We didn't have much cash, hot or otherwise, and what we stole we spent on cigarettes and a bit of the stronger stuff. Our clothes wefour boys and I.


MamilehYou married me when I was eighteen and took me to bed still warm and half-fresh. Baby, I was just a kid, and you sneaked into the dressing room and caught me smoking one last blunt as an innocent teenaged girl, a child bound to no man but her daddy: Mamileh, you said, my little girl, what are you doing? I hated the pet name and blew sweet stale smoke in your face. You talk to me like a little kid, I spat in your eye, and then sucked another breath off the end of the spliff. Filled with all-natural, slow-dried courage, I told you, You fuckin pervert, marrying a kid at your age, you make meMamileh
