Never able. Walk streets. Tell lies. Hide

  • Never able. Walk streets. Tell lies. Hide faults. Pass lights. Be blinded. Seek distractions. Need escape. Feel women. Soft, vulnerable. Hear lies. Think dreams. Walk alone. Ever.
  • One fish. Two fish. Red fish. Blue fish. Duck Dong.
  • Little Oscar's remix of One Fish Two Fish earned him a trip to the counselor's office, where she asked questions to determine the role Duck Dong played in his life. He insisted
  • that sex was the furthest thing from his mind when he had made his candid surreptitious music video to accompany his remix.
  • I shrugged. The club's lights coldly bathed my distant yearning for authentic human interaction. It's in the most crowded places (and those without smells) that we feel the most
  • club battering. The vagrants dancing in the club pulled out their clubs and clubbed the living clubs out of me. It was until I saw the baby bear get clubbed when my freedom came,
  • in the form of club security. They began clubbing the clubgoers and I quietly slithered away. I made it out of the club and across the road back into the zoo. The night watchman
  • saw me slither past and screamed, "Why the hell did you cross the road!?", which was a fair question. "Because I don't have feet!" I explained, continuing back to my
  • circus trailer. I was on in ten minutes and barely had time to shower my torso before I heard the barker announce: "See the amazing Human Snail!" I had to slither with all my might
  • just to get onstage in 3 weeks. By then, the show was over, and the barker stood there alone, frowning with arms folded. “You’re fired!” he yelled. I hurried offstage in a month.

    Do snails slither silver soliloquies slavishly?
