Annie P commented on the post, porter 9 months ago
“I’ll carry it myself. Don’t worry your little head.” She spoke to me as if I were a child– no, she spoke as if she wanted to speak to me like that. It came off more as a petulant attempt to one-up an ex-lover. […]

“Cup holders. They hold more than cups sometimes.”
“Very astute.”
“I found melted chocolate over here in mine.”
“Well don’t eat it!”

If I call out for you when I’m blind, will I hear your form come back to me? You never would let me touch you; can I call out to you instead? Is it alright, if I touch you with these words?

Annie P commented on the post, bandages 10 months, 1 week ago
I don’t know how many bandages I’ve wrapped around my shoulders– I dislodge them often, from jumping at shadows, cringing at banshees, trying to catch myself when I fall since no one else will do the catching for […]

Annie P commented on the post, adviser 10 months, 1 week ago
I should probably get someone to help me with this, I thought as the papers fell out of my hand onto the ground, spilling across and getting in the way of some very important people. I should also get an adviser […]

Annie P commented on the post, suggestion 10 months, 1 week ago
You should probably shut up, she said. Just a suggestion.
He stared at her. The whole room stared at her. She could feel all their eyeballs moving to angle themselves at her, and she squirmed.
Stop with the […]

Annie P commented on the post, overalls 10 months, 2 weeks ago
your overalls are faded and hide just the right parts of you,
no talk of genitalia, I mean the scars and farthest
parts of your sadness. I am hearing your tears
between the heartbeats, like a steady patter of […] -
Annie P commented on the post, railroad 10 months, 2 weeks ago
The last time they met was on the train. He didn’t expect her. She didn’t expect him. Though, had they been expecting it, they would’ve both known she’d break into tears.
“You’re supposed to be gone.”
“I […]

Annie P commented on the post, motion 10 months, 2 weeks ago
We’re biking, everything’s a blur, or rather, blurring. The wind isn’t wind anymore, but speed. My heartbeats are loud inside my head. The trees move together, but the blue remains blue. That’s what I’ve always […]

Annie P commented on the post, chills 10 months, 3 weeks ago
the almost touch you never put on my shoulder still gives me chills,
and did I tell you, how ill I am, so sick, so wretched
I could retch from the weights inside me
why didn’t anyone tell me
why didn’t anyone […] -
Annie P commented on the post, saturday 10 months, 3 weeks ago
The ball thuds against the ground and I groan. “Goddammit,” I mutter as the members of the other team cheer and laugh.
“Six-nine,” Marco says. “Seis-nueve.”
Jaime walks over as I roll onto my back and […]

Annie P commented on the post, soups 10 months, 3 weeks ago
He picks up the empty bowls on the table, one by one, but drops the last one. The last dregs of soup spill out on the floor. He thinks of the Rorschach tests, how useless they were, and then remembers the way he […]

Annie P commented on the post, seeds 10 months, 3 weeks ago
“I’ve never wanted to be pregnant,” she said as she dropped a handful of seeds into the first of six small, deep holes. “Have you seen any of those videos, read anything about the process? Horrifying.”
“I […]

Annie P commented on the post, racket 11 months, 1 week ago
The tennis rackets tumbled to the floor. I picked one up, grabbed a length of hair, and began to thread it through.
She stared at me. “Whatever are you doing?”
“Don’t you know? I’m a mermaid.”
Suddenly, […]

“What are you ordering?”
“I don’t know.”
“Buddha Bowl?”
“Buddha Bowl.”
“Why’d I even ask?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re so boring with your stupid entrees.”
“I know.”
“But I love you anyway.”
“I know.” -
Annie P commented on the post, brunch 1 year, 2 months ago
I reached over the table to grab the marmalade, and she swatted at my arm. “Manners,” she murmured.
“I’m not some sort of fly,” I grumbled back.
Her eyes seemed to disagree with me. So I decided to stop […]

Annie P commented on the post, adopt 1 year, 3 months ago
She adopted a new manner of dress– gone were the long-sleeved, black lace ensembles, the thick black boots, the dark and smudgy eyeliner. She slipped into the crowd easily, no more than a nice cardigan and denim […]

Annie P commented on the post, orbit 1 year, 3 months ago
The station orbits the Earth, as it always does. And Mari is in her room, observing yet another explosion down below– from the United States again. She has always been surprised by the fact that it held on to its […]
