“The fragile frequency on which his nightglare exists sends desperate shock waves; subtle static to infiltrate my daydreams, breezing over my lips {come back}, knocking faintly on my skin now once in a while, reminding me of when i really did believe strangers had the best candy The waves that got through to me just like we were one- back when I was fragile too”

“Do you dare dismiss the poetess; Fuck up her mind with your toxic kiss? Do you dare hide the razors and knives to bore her with your shallow dives? Do you dare dream of a grand vacation fucking your side chick at the Days Inn? Do you dare ask to have your glass refilled after ordering the hit for her spirit killed? Do you dare daydream of a life so fair while making hers a waking nightmare? Do you dare not answer, darling? Do you not hear Karma calling...”

“FiXXX ur Recep+ion I never bother with the broken antennas Reception comes through clearly for those not jealous Love life alone; don't buy extra large umbrellas We can hold hands if you can pick up what i put down- motherfucker, don't make a sound Loud with ac+ion will my real dark prince please stand up...
