cardboard box mansion
home to the starving artist
midwest location

choose your own ending

dancing gorilla
plastic nose rings and jumpsuits

did it for the cash

misunderstood art

fed on burritos

misunderstood monk

it's a lost art form

did it for himself

for cellophane01

do not hide the match
convince friends that it was you
that blew up the lab

stuck here in texas
stay cool with electric fans
melt eggs on asphalt

written for ackeber's livejournal

her name: diana
loves: samosas and green tea
lives to write white lies

smudged black mascara
she'll never be a rock star
but she'll look like one

not just a plain girl
lives through fairy tales and clouds
but is no princess

tug her hair gently
hand under skirt in public
she moans silently

drugs, sex, rock and roll
pumping adrenaline rush
dead at twenty four?

summer afternoons
under the umbrella tree
lies, whispers and truths
