An excerpt and clue from forthcoming epic poem Memento mori

girl scout camp in the hamptons = anticipatory socialization was a lie

madison ave. boutique makola dress and kate spade shoes for prom = anticipatory socialization was a lie

knowing what a brandy alexander no garnish and bombay sapphire gin no ice no vermouth are at age 12 = anticipatory socialization was a lie

Excerpt and clues from forthcoming epic poem Memento mori.

The danger of using a bed as a desk.

Writers can’t stay inside all the time, so I took Edie for a walk. Pretty fucking idyllic.

The red thread of fate is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend and is also used in Japanese legend. According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of those that are destined to meet each other in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way. Often, in Japanese culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger.

The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.

This is basically Team Craw.

National Poetry Writing Month #30

—————————————————————-

I told my stylist Nicholas I speak

of Twilight every chance I get including

weekly meetings at my workplace.

“They are ridiculous - we talk about

our feelings then you light a candle

after setting your intention for the

week.  So now I just update my boss and

fellow workers on what scene I have just

read: sometimes it’s vampire baseball, mostly it’s

just Edward being pouty-sexy.

Then I light a candle and for my

intention say that I will focus on

becoming famous for the week.”  Nicholas

said “Whatever that’s not real.”  So I

said “Team Edward bitch.”  He said “Did you just

call me bitch?”  So I replied “Yeah bitch.”

National Poetry Writing Week #29

—————————————————————

My new best friend that doesn’t know he’s my

best friend - my walk-in stylist Nicholas -

showed no surprise when our conversing turned

to Twilight.  I explained myself: “My

husband just had surgery and started

reading Game of Thrones and so I had no

shame at starting Steph’nie Meyer’s oeuvre.”
