Murder By Silicon4th September 2042, 1:44 PM

The bar is small and rather empty, out of place amid the swirling holographs of the Green Line. I glance again at the entranceway, searching for whatever had caught my attention -- whatever had made me crane my neck outward instead of sitting as still as I have for the past couple of days -- but the unidentifiable something is gone.

The bench softens. I lean back and close my eyes and it molds itself against me, glows with synthetic warmth, massages until the tensions have worn themselves out of my neck and shoulders, and drains my credit account of $27.50; not that it matters. A few teenagers glance in my dir

let me touch you

let me touch you
by jsenn

once long ago
when I was only young
you were less maybe more
and I wished so much
to touch you with my tongue
but you were over there
and I was tethered inside of
me
sometimes I thought,
it will never be
but knight came in
you
and rescued me from
me
and
from that moment I've loved
you
more than ever I did me
you stand now still
my protector
my life
and my love
come here babe
let me touch you with my tongue

Dreaming of Hope

dreaming of hope,
drifting
destiny drags me away
hurtling towards tomorrow,
my sight firmly
locked on yesterday

but yesterday,
mercifully
deserts me where I stand
and takes with him
all the baggage
that I clutched in my hand

so today, caught,
tantalizing,
every moment, takes me someplace new
every breath, every color
vivid in this world
dangerously desiring everything you do

still dreaming,
longing,
as desire often regretfully leads
to breathless, grasping
need to stay
within past delightful deeds

will i awaken
searching
and leave life and love to chance,
felled by fate's fickle finger
hopeless and helpless,

Martians Cant Laugh

Martians can't laugh

A strange new smell in the air
Rover sniffs the sky
A bright new star, way up there
A summer night gone by

Grandpa wakes laughing hard
And grandma rolls him off
The wake up call presents it's card
They laugh until they cough

Children splashing in the mud
Laugh until they cry
Rolling round they try to stop
Brown with mud they try

School teachers pee their pants
They'd never laughed so much
Chalk board full of "cans" and "can'ts"
Their chalk they cannot touch

Water gups, splish and splash
Laughing bubbles to the top
A pink balloon in shaking hands
Laughs so hard it finally pops

Daily Deviation

Given 2002-02-06
