Lucius and Ignatius were seasoned hands when it came to setting up their camp. They easily retrieved their tent from what seemed to be a disorganized pile of sacks, bags, and boxes. Paris regarded the size of the bag with dubious curiosity, but from the too-small-seeming package they unfolded, little by little an unexplainably large piece of […]

The Waste (IV)
“A story?” Paris blurted incredulously. “How, may I ask, is a story payment for transportation?” “It is not a matter of how, but why.” “Why then?” “The intricacies of the transaction may, in time be revealed to you, traveler. At this point you must simply decide whether this is a cost that you wish to pay.” […]
Lonesome Highway Syndrome
I don’t think it likely, when I present to you a very particular type of experience, that you will find yourself unable to relate. I choose the words, “I don’t think it likely,” very carefully, as undoubtedly, there are some who have not experienced that which I am about to describe. For the small populous […]

I miss the days, of edamame and stand-up comedies. I miss the smiles and sways, laughs, drinks, and games. I miss the days of beers darts, and cheers. I miss those times, of wonder and wines. I miss those old flickers, without seeing the real pictures. I miss water guns, and I miss real fun. […]

Everyone seems to want their place in the sun. They crave the warmth of the rays. They want to bask in the glow, feel that they are the ones in the spotlight, that the heat from a far off star, heats their body, pulses, and radiates, just for them. Everyone wants to be a star. […]
I _______ You
Its is far easier to impulsively sense, reactively feel, or spontaneously expectorate the words “I love you,” Than it is to take the time, deliberately make the effort, or ponder and deeply consider, uttering the words “I understand you.” Humbly yours, J
Exculpation
It doesn’t matter how deeply you dig the hole, how much dirt you’ve flung in my face, how much rancor I absorbed as it flew from your lips, or how fiercely you shake your fists at the sky, in misguided rage. When the sun beats down, I will make myself a canopy to shield you […]
Whiskey, Disappointment, Death.
Everyday I look at the outcomes, Each day I’m scanning the scene. I’m longing and searching and wishing for some kind of meaning. Everyday I desire an outlook, Each day want the serene. I’m begging and pleading, and yearning for everything to not be obscene. Everyday I yearn for a vista, A place to see […]
