The Sock-Monkey As Alone

"please allow me to introduce myself."                                               - Mick Jagger, Sympathy for the Devil. “Here is the church and here is the steeple We sure are cute for two ugly people."                                               - the Moldy Peaches The hot stink of a fresh cancer stick, or, the exhilarating taste of a shot of the IQ enhancing salvation we call jack daniels. All fail in comparison to the delirium-inducing salvation of having a mature woman who knows what she is doing, slowly and with self-assuranc...

"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers." -Thomas Pynchon. "Aesthetic erectile dysfunction, for which there has yet to be invented a viagra." - Tom Robbins. "you don't need viagra to go fuck yourself," I said that, though I am still unsure as to what it means. Though I can say it has very little to do with masturbation, and that it still makes me laugh to this day. As a matter of fact, after reading what I have typed to this point, I said aloud "that is pathetically funny."    The bed bugs are keeping me company; one is smoking a cigarette after drinking my blood. swelled to the size of a softball and telling me I am the one with a weight problem "you have a point, but I am still cleaning, so they can come and kill you." I say defiantly. "why are you typing what you say after you say it, hey quit staring at the computer and talk to me." says the bed bug which goe...

 "Rocketry may not be my True Will, but it's one hell of a powerful drive. With Thelema as my goal and the stars my destination and my home, I have set my eyes on high."   -   John Whiteside "Jack" Parsons Silly as a novelty rockabilly tune playing off the iPod on the way to church. He has given up on turning his new found life as a rag doll into an Elizabethan tragedy. Rumple was in his button eyes not only brilliant but divine, though he felt that those were not characteristic that would get him anywhere in this world.  "words are not my thing." he thought. "no I think I will give up on that dream of walking side by side with Jesus all my sins washed away. And instead will except I am a sinner looking only for redemption and will look dutifully for the next, attractive place in these quite godforsaken woods and lay down and call it home till I am saved or till every fiber of me is rotten away. " it was a scheme he hoped this display of devo...

“In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you." - Lemmy Kilmister. Talking heads - once in a lifetime, was playing. The old house, offensive boards and chipping paint. Windows open a small ghost was dancing (he seems to like doing that.) Jumping back and forth on the ground in front of the bed, as Jolene Irish, paints her toenails if only to fight an image she has cultivated from the age of four.     She is walking into the room wearing pajamas that displayed Grover from sesame street on them. Uplifted hand showing the snail she plucked off the porch to her "momma" (said in a slow southern drawl). Then being told "no bad Jojo" (yes her mom really did address the little girl like a pet poodle) and Jolene defiant, with the crooked haircut her mom had given her. Pulled back and softball pitched the snail so hard it splattered on the kitchen wall.    "Yeah, I got in tr...

17 "There is no such thing as a weird human being. It's just that some people require more understanding than others." - Tom Robbins. God - "So what is your story? Why are you so down on me. Don't come to me with that you know everything jive.  One of us is unnecessary information, and the other one is being very understanding. Now, if you want we can turn this into an arm wrestling championship, but who do you think, is going to take the belt home?" Drew Freak - "I have always wanted to be a writer but now that I am here the whole question for me is that of 'what does that make me to my fiction?' what about my diagnosis? Are my childish attempts at literature good if measured against the things stacked against me? The mental illness in me wants to scream 'well if you don't believe I have that paranoid schizophrenia then here is another acid trip of a digression' while another part of me thinks it is fun to lie an...

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."                                                                  - Hunter s. Thompson Wearing a green "card dealer" visor (the words spelled out on the front), Orange metal-framed glasses, and camel unfiltered plugged into a cigarette holder (smoked more for the status that comes with having a high dollar cigarette than any love of the flavor) in a random corner of my mouth. I was on the rainbow road driving a plastic wheeled (toy) pink jeep in heaven looking for the Christian dream. Hopped up on acorns, dead leaves and whatever I find on the ground. I advocate mood stabilizers when dealing with a confrontation of faith. My ...

Once you have been down a rabbit hole, once you have chased the rabbit, you never feel safe. Through the looking glass of wonderland, there is doubt and fear of every voice other than your own.     "why did you cut your hair?" said Liam, "I think I am a lesbian," said Jolene. Liam thought he had not crossed a line so much as was drug across it kicking and screaming. Quitting the conversation he left her alone.     She was muscle, bone, and skin, though not as tall as she looked. The alien in her eyes was confidence. Desperate as it was alive, her ego could cope with the loss. Knowing that no story ends but it will go away for a time. It will be someone else and their story as long as it is there's, but sometimes when your lucky the roles you love come back for you to play.    "Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."  she put her phone down, she had forgotten who had said it and was surpris...
