Others see the crow as a bird of death, of ill luck. But I am one of the lucky ones. The crow is luck to me. When I see it flying or sitting on the side I know that my day is about to be better, or at the very least more interesting. Who knows what that trickster has in store for me.

There are no moves left. Defeat is complete. “Ha!” I say. I pick up my king and gab it into my opponents face. Blood and screams insue. I use the chess board to silence the screams and spread the red translucent beauty onto the walls.

The buildings of today are all sharp corners and vectors that collided in straight lines of glass and steel. The older buildings may have been inefficient and let little light in. But they knew how to create beauty in the carved stone and beautiful stone work. Each home could be a castle, and every town a kingdom.

My partner for life, my better half. They hold onto to me and keep me grounded. They don’t cloud themselves with who I could be, but adore me for who I am.

The lifting of those below us has sever implications on the economy. It not only decreases debts and raise the quality of life of the impoverished, but it puts the public as a whole responsible for their community.

I put my feet up on the dashboard. The driver of the taxi gazed at my daring appreciatively. My friends in the back gave each other glances, questioning the hygiene of my bare legs on the public space. I feel sexy and tonight is the time to show it.

They called for a speech. the wedding guest quiet in anticipation. The groom stands up, taps the mike. “She wears white, but she is no virgin. He father gives her away, but he never owned her. Don’t you all think that this tradition needs to die? Thanks for the gifts and the money. Enjoy your meal.”

The word “Must” should never be uttered. It works as a confine that prevents true expression and innovation. It is the “Maybe”s that add to the world, not the absolutes.

It destroys and consumes without prejudice. It can level a city and destroy a countryside. But if you keep inside the confines of a stone fireplace, controlling it. Then the force of destruction is tamed to a source of heat. One where the life of your family can be built upon.

Take it from step one. Don’t deviate. Step two has fifteen sub-steps. All need to be followed in perfect order. At step three, there is no room for creativity, follow the rules don’t work in-between the lines. You need to be perfect, you can’t make mistakes, and there is no room to be human.

They always know. To assume what is best for a kid is always a poor decision. Even if a child is about to do something wrong, they know they have to experience it for themselves. They can be informed, but let them try to experience their pain. They will be better for it.

There are millions of possibilities how the world will progress and change I said. My son looked up at me and shook his head. He held up five fingers. I looked at him incredulously. He explained. Food – Poop – Food – Poop – Space poop.

Take a walk. Get out of the class. Enter into the crowd. Get lost in the swarm. Weave through daily mass migration. Blend in. Careful. They be sharks in these waters.

She does it every way. Sometimes gently and slowly. Sometime violently, leaving bite marks and scratches in my flesh. But the most amazing pleasure, comes from when I satisfy her. A cycle of joy and ecstasy lasting an entire Saturday.

It speeds across the wrinkles of my brain. A electrical impulse connecting a random sequence into a correlated idea. The millions of neurons firing to come together into one instant millisecond of idea, in a miracle of bio-electric charges. It is a thought about the belly button fluff I found this morning.

When you can’t do, teach… Well that is a load of crap. If you can’t do it then you can’t be a good teacher. A teacher leaves behind the world of success and takes the sacrifice on to elevate others forward. Teaching is about selflessness. It is about giving out knowledge and skills so that others may surpass your achievements. Teachers farm greatness.

I never want to be grounded. There is just too much space above me. A whole universe to explore and and see. Why would you want to limit my possibilities to one rock in orbit, when I have billions to go see.

Shifting the piece from spot to spot. Each side trying to get out do the other. The game goes on and on. countering and advances litter the scoreboard, but no on is winning. One steps back and looks at up, and realizes that a tie was never considered.

The sharp bits of enamel in the mouth have many fun and dangerous uses. Tearing through skin to bring about tiny flecks of blood. They snap shut on multiple spots. It is amazing what people pay for money.

They hold the inside in. The pressure building within the walls, pushes outward on the artificial cube. The space wants to be curved, see the sky above it, and breath in the unfiltered air. The world is out there beyond the plaster. The inside won’t be stuck in here for long.

“Forever and ever and ever and ever. We will always be together.”

It was when those words left her mouth that I thought that things were getting to serious for a first date.
