We Kiss

I know there a million important things you need to do.

But I hope none of them is as important as being in this moment— in this lifetime. Your lips are smiling, our saliva— a beautiful gooey mess of liquid aphrodisiac.

Metronome

Everything about us was a result of perfect timing.

And yet somehow we knew our time would never come.

Our destruction, seamless.

Separation, mind-blowing.

The Spot

Lucky is the man who finds that part of you that makes your soul disintegrate a little everywhere. That’s what this spot can do. That spot is you.

My Little Gastronomic Issue

Anyway, I think my dislike for people posting food on Facebook to show off their culinary affluence is slowly enlarging into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind. Okay, maybe not everyone. That would be too much hatred. Just, people who are on Facebook and Instagram. Now that I think about it, basically, just about everyone.

The Candle In My Room

Take it in from all the corners of my room, close your eyes, and be taken back to a time when everything in this world was a place full of excitement and embrace. 

Watch closely as its three wicks flicker a reminiscent glow that weaves an intricate love story of you and me.

Phantom Limb

If you stay and take away this pain, I’ll let you be the glare inside the corner of my eyes.

But if you go you’ll be the tiny bits of marrow splattered on my bones…

A Preamble To The Radically Hopeful

To my detractors: Taking me down has not only made me hard like ice but soft as wind and the sadness that endured is the same sadness that made everything less irrelevant. There. I’d like to keep things prosey when I’m mad. I find that it softens the blow and makes me look less angry.

Malcolm and Marie

This film then gives us that feeling of being able to look inside people’s lives and see the many aspects of how relationships can break down in a matter of minutes because of a single significant event in our lives. 

The Queen’s Gambit

An exemplary tale of a game of men made sexually palatable by a woman as we follow her ascent and rise over the realities of a patriarchal society, her inner demons, and for the chess-playing demography, the people’s awareness of fate.
