I abandon an office triumphantly. I set goals
that get met. I lose 20 pounds the detention
centers are full and I want to make sure I
don't go there. I do it all of my own choice;
strap a new face on, pretend that's a fresh
start. I focus, not follow. Your skin is rusting.
Your soul, if it exists, needs polish. I'm
not the man to fix it but music from when
we were 12 is stuck in my head. It is NOT
the habits that lead to being a drone.
TV dinners and throwing up your hands, choices,
too many choices between two puppets and some
others who stand no chance. Tell yourself
you're free. Who knows, plans you'll
never act on could kick in. She'd better
not be there. I need to draw a doorway and
get out...
Next week's seven phrases/groups of words:
-I promise we'll survive
-cut your palm intentionally
-sadly too young for us
-story coming from the next room
-faking an accent of honesty
-what the clock says doesn't matter
-rejuvinated, none too soon

Six Word Theater
Six Word Theater
Click here for the most recent entry.
Inspired by the challenge Hemingway undertook to tell a story
in six words("For Sale: baby shoes. Never worn."), I attempt
to polish my skills by telling a six-word story or phrase on
Wednesdays..or every few Wednesdays.
Feel free to "continue the story"
or start your own.
Today's Entry:
Supported the war.
Enlisted.
Mind's changed.

Everything felt normal, hat trick, 3 years of
safety balanced with creative risk, someone is breathing
into the speaker instead of stepping behind too large
a space between your ears should be filled, no comment..
I'm my own emotional surgeon, trying to balance
keep my ears ringing; who is playing not realizing
who owns it could be a fatal mistake. Hang from
the rafters like the rest of them. Read a fucking book.
Escape. Broken before it got to me,
snapping back to coherency a pleasant way to
understand. One's brains are out of shape, not since
high school.

CYCLE TWO
The cycle ended. Where will my spirit wake next?
I wanted to believe you, but you left before I could
grow to trust you. Waiting for my turn to speak, I contemplate
in the park. Fall has finally arrived. Oscillations of
twlight thought and energy are accessible as I plan my next move.
Do I know that person across the way staring at me?
Natural serenity interrupted by her stare.
Pleasant but enigmatic. Someone made her that sweater.
She beckons me and smiles, getting up to seven won't be an issue.
She then motions like she's putting a needle on a record.
And gets up and walks away.
Don't waste time with temptations of routine, dig a new path and
only venture on it if it's your own choice. I turn and
look elsewhere for my story. Glancing back, she's gone.
As expected. What now? Compelling conclusions await.
Next week's seven phrases/groups of words:
-hat trick
-too large a space between
-keep my ears ringing
-not realizing who owns it
-broken before it got to me
