orbit
We walked about the desk in a suspecting orbit – not wanting to touch the air around it, lest we damage the scene and incriminate ourselves. We knew the filthy evidence was inside one of the drawers.

prints
You found me dusted, rusted, and distilled but you left me to fend for my sins, hoping that my prints would give evidence of where I’d been or what I’d done but both have been wiped clean long before you began your search.

trophy
Something as elusive as a trophy can ride on your hip, can itch your motives dry, can scathe your knees, only to find that it is only a cheap piece of gold coated plastic.

despair
Despair is a lonely creature. Even though her brothers and sisters are there, she’d rather be alone. She cries silently in the night, and nothing can comfort her. Sometimes, I wish I could be there to hold her hand.

mint
Nothing is minty right now, Everything seems like spice I need a cool breeze in my life
To yearn for a mint, Is like looking for a solution To everything bad
An after taste, An obvious distaste, I need a mint now.

I don’t think I can be passionate about mints. They aren’t exactly useless, but they are not the most amazing thing in this planet. Then again, maybe if I were a cook, or at least passionate or even interested in food, mints would amaze me. I guess.

glowing
I fixed my eyes on that glowing smile, concentrated on its radiance. Nothing would excite me after this, nothing significant. My entrance to the better life was through him, and I knew that he knew there was nothing to stop me. I inched forward and his wish was my command.

digital
computers circling throughout the earth. controlling like robots. iRobot. WALL-E. Conservation and pollution of the earth. Human disrespect of the earth. Embracing space. Searching for new places.

punch
Fortified against her snide remarks fixed in position, legs planted, eyes dodgy She was asking for it, so I delivered the punch

probable
His heart was marked and scarred, a probable defeat loomed ahead. I told him I’d be there for him and then deleted his number from my phone. Depressed people depress me.

leash
“Aren’t you gonna stand up to him?”
I chuckled, “Why would I do that?”
“He called you a…”
“He said it was a present and handed me a beautiful shiny studded collar that clinked with sterling. He affixed it to my neck and attached the leash.” I smiled at her wide eyes, “So, no – I don’t get offended when he calls me a bitch.”

secure
I felt something on my hip; a tidal wave secure in its ripple across my life. I looked up and there was your face, smiling at mine as if something there was lost and now found. I looked down and saw your hand burning featherweight tracks of memory into my hip as you said, “Dance with me.”

starlight
Upon a night the flattest footed beast stares at the glaring starlight and wonders if his eyes are meant to see anything but darkness

century
The first person I saw, after shaking my situational amnesia, told me we were entering the 22nd century. I disbelieved him. I was not so old. At least, I didn’t think I was.

train
When we saw him, his ragged coat was caught in the doors of the train. he tugged on it as if his pride had fallen victim to the dust of the subway.

bow
I looked at my father and thought, “I will make you bow to me, weakling. You will suffer for bringing shame and disgrace into our house. Now leave me, filthy swine, and take your twenty dollar whore with you.” Instead, I said “Yes, Dad,” when he told me not to squeal to my mother.

president
I asked him if I could be president of the student council. My mentor, while his hand searched the folds of my skirt for the folds of me said, “If you have to ask, my dear, you should not be…president.”

detour
The food was scrumptious until it took a detour and wanted to be free of my GI tract. Its not rare, for me, and my titanic gag reflex, but it should not have happened when I was meeting his parents. They were not impressed.

blocks
Misfortune turned its ugly head towards me and like a recently tipped tower of blocks, my hard work toppled in noisy cubes.

foam
the sinking pit evaporated and left behind a sputtering of foam. I was glad I killed him and the abuse was finally over, but I felt unfulfilled, his face was not disfigured, his body not sawed apart…he sank and sputtered.

propel
The light from underneath the bathroom floor did nothing to propel me into paranoia, but the unmistakable sound of a healthy stream of piss falling from a manly distance – that stopped my sleepy waltz.

meaning
to construct meaning one must mean to apply what one sees,
hears, tastes, feels, to life as it is.

withheld
You know how it felt when you withheld that kiss from me
electric
i wanted to hurt you but you would like that too
it’s becoming more difficult to hate you but getting to that point is exciting

stride
I don’t think anyone else could garner as much activity in one stride as she did that day. Stopping traffic, setting trends, attracting drool, and envy and pride, stirring malice and then flinging a fine crafted satchel behind her, she met her end as a drunk drives smashed into her pretty young frame.

depth
Accursed depth, hilt of health. I question my self and see that help cannot be dealt with as humanity flees.

roller
I had two more hours on the job and the roller fell into the dirt. Being a stage hand wasn’t as glamorous as being on stage, but hey, the world is mine somehow and you all know what the Bard says…

chained
Finding that I was chained, tethered like a cow to a post, I realized that the sound was the same as counted coins. How fitting, the love of money is the root of my chain.

regardless
“What?” She said, frightened that her dreams were coming true. “I will fight for you, regardless of what it will cost me”, he stated, sure that this was the last time they would speak. She hated having this responsibility, but she knew the guilt of his blood would not be on her hands entirely.
