Nightmare IV

Duncan

She is doing a performance in a bedroom.  I don’t know who she is and I haven’t seen her before.  She’s is wearing 80’s style workout clothes.

“Now, I’m going to need everyone’s participation and please don’t take my picture.”

She approaches me.  “You know, this used to be Duncan’s bed…”

I recognized the back of his head

the cowlicks,

the soft texture,

the chestnut color,

the light coating of grease

he was walking home

slowly

I was across the street

running

I wanted to cross the street

to say hello

but my legs moved me forward

my feet slammed against the sidewalk

and i was accelerating

I sped up a side street

I leaned against a building

breathing hard

he turned onto his street

and I continued running

I gotta ask you something

Hi,

Hopefully you feel as compelled to answer as I did to ask. I’ve been watching your performance videos, and I really wanted to know what’s going on – like what kind of performances are they? It’s just unlike anything I’ve come across before in the acting scene, if it’s even about acting, maybe it’s comedy? I don’t even know. But there’s something extremely weird about it that I like. I don’t say that to be offensive, it’s just odd as fuck, but awesome.

I don’t know what the question is that I’m trying to ask so who knows how you can reply, but I’m really curious about what’s going on. I just can’t figure out how to put into coherent words what it is I’m trying to say.
Anyway, good job. I think.

Bodies of Water

She flooded the seat
more puddle like than female
waves of fluid flesh

Thighs

He said that he is 56.  I wondered if he dyed his hair, because it was an unnatural shade of brown.

I was wearing a form fitting, short skirt and he noticed me.  He sat next to me on a filthy couch and leans in to say, “You have amazing thighs, and I’ve seen a lot of legs…” Read the rest of this entry »
