The Sun Sets Behind You And I Will Slap Your Face:
Walking down the sidewalk and the streetlights were keeping along with the pace as the shadows went from large to small. The shadows from streetlight to streetlight crept up and it felt like one of those videos where time lapses were recorded. You know, when the big monuments are being built and those videos display a start-to-finish process and skip the boring parts. All the parts are boring pretty much too. Sun rises. Sun sets. Sun rises. The anthills get bigger.
Now you notice the pace is progressing as the conversation is also picking up.
You discovered the puzzle by looking at the history file on the internet browser when you went to do a search on “Anniversary Presents”. The look on the face was of dismay. That was your face. The look on her face was of denial. You typed ‘A’. Then you typed ‘n’.
If only there was an invention that could protect your head on the inside. There is no helmet for the emotional side of the brain.
The gloss on her lips made her even more luscious. Au natural is the way to go and she puts that notion to shame whenever she wants to. She plays with her hair and looks away. Is she nervous or bored? Shy or ready to leave?
One day when you get bored please do not forget to call me. We’ll go across the country and see the writing on the walls. Bathroom walls that is. We’ll make a book out of the sayings on the wall and get drunk in all the places we go to. Take pictures because we’ll forget many things. Take you with me because your eyes see right through mine. They invert my vision as they should and you turn me upside down.
The night light has been left on every night since you’ve gone away. It will burn out eventually too. And just like you it will burn out. It will be replaced. Just like me.
Eat the flesh. Grow the flesh. Fuck the flesh. Skin the flesh. Show the flesh. Use the flesh. Burn the flesh.
All this happened while walking between two streetlights. Motion sickness can be caused from the time lapse video except you should know that there are no lapses in the real life show.
