Safe Storage
Careful where you place things.
I found a gold ring on the beach with my metal detector. It still had a severed finger attached to it. As sickened as I was by it, I didn't have the time to report it to the police immediately. I had to get to work on the pier. So, I put the finger in the fridge.
"Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs here!" Today dragged, a slow crawl down at the wharf.
Sighing, when I went to lunch I thought about what I'd say to the police about my find. Biting my hot dog, I thought, "Why's it boney?"

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
