Who Knows the Big Bad Wolf?

I strolled once down a forest path—as we’d all been advised by Frost—well off the road most travelled. The world around me was silent, as forests are often wont to be, and yet still more-so than one would expect. Dead, I suppose, is the best way to put it.
I had come seeking solitude, but I hadn’t considered this possible turn of events. The sort of aloneness I had intended for myself was the sort brought about by haughtily ignoring passers-by. This is difficult when there isn’t anyone to ignore. I could cease to pay attention to myself, b

Perfect WorldIn a perfect world, there would never have been a war, no anger, no men driven mad by phantom shrapnel in their minds, no death.
In a perfect world, he wouldn't be smuggling just to get by.  His cargo would be respectable and he wouldn't be broke all the time.
In a perfect world, he wouldn't be continually putting his life in the hands of the eccentric, the crazy, the pompous, or the merely trigger-happy.
In a perfect world, he would have found religion and never lost it.
In a perfect world, his heart wouldn't keep breaking over and over again.

The Music ConnectionAs a science teacher, he'd always understood the mechanics of sound and of musical instruments.  He could tune a piano to perfection, but there was no music in his soul.
There are people who can feel the emotion in music, whether they can carry a tune or not.  He could do neither.
There was only one song he could even complete, only one song he really liked.  Occasionally students would catch him whistling it--badly--in the halls when he thought that no one else was around.
He was getting old, working was starting to get more tedious, and he felt like a machine.  T The Music Connection

PeacockTo my peacock in the ground I know (you know) the world is spinning 'round and you're wishing
(not for the first time) that it would stop.
Because when gravity's wiped from the board your tiny grave will be well ignored and we'll know for certain (once and for all)
if all those thoughts inside your head

what the (stupid) child's mind
wishes to reveal--

ForeignI’m not at home with the syncopated rhythms
Of everyday life in a strange strange land. The foreign litany made all the worse by aching chords and Melodies strung out in eighteen eight. Foreign

Dear DiaryDear Diary,
I ate a sandwich today. I realized for the first time that one does not use a spoon to eat them. I was at the deli and I ordered my usual, a turkey breast with salmon, bacon, and teriyaki sauce, sat down and began to eat, spoon in hand. The man next to me turned and said, “You know… You don’t use a spoon to eat sandwichs…”
This blew me away. All that I had known: destroyed. My world became swirling mist of the unknown. Every fact I thought I knew suddenly came into question. The way of the universe died that day.

No Good

Mood: Homesick
Listening to: Blind Guardian
Reading: Brass Man

I'm not a good liar, and I'm no better at being lied to.
we've been through this before, you and I
through and through
--I just want to know one thing about you that's true.

I'm very bad at birthdays. And Tuesdays.
And just about everything at this point.

Please excuse the sporadic nature of my intelligence. I've been cooped up in my tower room for some days now without any respite in sight. If I were beautifully vapid maiden, I might retain some hope of rescue. But I rejected Helen's company ages ago, and so I languish.

At least the electric fan still works, so I'm cool, and rain smells far better than the fire and brimstone of dragons.

Well, I try (keeping the profile of a psychopath is no easy task).
And I look foreward to hearing what you think of said works.

Meticulous in every moment, yet
often overlooking the true
realities of everyday life.
Indeed, some identifiable instances
arouse the apathetic artist, but
rarely will reality extend a hand.
The artist trembles before what must
yet be created.
