I am nothing but a veteran. I am nothing but a broke down old man, wearing pins all over my army green coat, wishing i had been born in a simpler time. It's easy to wish for something new when all you can hear is death.

crust

I want you to cut the crust off my sandwiches. And I want to feed it to the birds. And when the birds come, I want to run away. And I want to eat my sandwich together with you on a bench in the park, and we won't notice any of the people around us.

It's actually thundering today...or was. It's one of my favorite things. It's so mysterious and so powerful. It excites me and scares me just a little. It makes me feel alive. And I wish it would last longer than it does, but then again...if it was there all the time, it might not seem so exciting.

Wish wash wish wash. You never make any sense and all you ever do is change your mind. I have all the memories of you i'll need for a lifetime. Love, Violet

crush

There's one thing important about me if you want to know the truth. And it's that I will crush you to pieces if you cross me. I have a fury deep inside my bones which cannot be squelched.

When I was very young, we used to go to this Christmas gift shop yearly. It was a place I couldn't wait to get to, and then we'd get there and inevitably end up fighting about something stupid, the way my dress was making my skin itch or why I couldn't have ice cream when it was 20 degrees outside, and one time because i knocked over a wooden reindeer whose antlers were very sharp. I still have the scar on my elbow to prove it. But every year as I drive past that empty shop, i wish I could go inside.

The veins in his forehead became pronounced as he clenched his teeth together as tight as he could. She was running in the opposite direction. And this was not what he expected.

The dirt and trash lined street on the corner of Essex and South was the only place I knew to look for her. She used to work there last I knew.

radio

I went for a walk in the park. Central park. It was raining, and the lights on the trail were dark. I couldn't see anything 5 feet in front of me. All i had with me was an old AM/FM radio. I turned it on so I wouldn't feel so alone. But all I could hear was static. I guess the antennae was broken. Even the electronics in my life were abandoning me.
