Well, well, well.

I would have lost that three-penny bet. Your grand escape. I will mash the reset button on this meander and now believe you work by installment.

Linear stories are tedious, why should lives hook up to parallel?

Your riff on this theme will be getting tedious soon.

Make it exciting or else.

Is ‘mob’ psych what makes folks infatuated with something interesting + miss the obvious?

Moving on from to,

After breaking into your abandoned attic apartment I pulled aside the heavy victorian drape to view the painting expecting some Dorianesque nightmare to be revealed. However, it was simply an empty frame. The prize had been removed.

Animal debris were all over + about.

There, on the roll top, was a to-do list of mundane wants + needs. Some were ticked off, others scribbled over as if importance had asked priority to change its mind. The other things not left were all the books of cruelty she had never written. Noticeable because of thier absence. Because of your weighty absence, too.

Whatever you find there at the moment, + being careful what you wish for here, it becomes comical when realized it matters not.

All moves forward together.

Being here is not being there, so how should I know?

Till I decide otherwise,

Once again, my dear, Repillee Scooter’,

Catching is like chasing a phantom, yes. Moreover, phantoms are often

self-imposed, self-promoted and self-capitalizing. This seems random.

Just don’t get your percocet and pudding mixed up. They do opposite things to the body.

A linear story rambles off my pen + changing history would mean i could change the story, + that’s not going to happen. Truth is not a new situation.

But the truth is not easily handed.

Not having found it does not make up for needing to.

I’ll be summing it all up, somewhere + I’m sticking to it.

With a nod to dylan’s tarantula & with your leave,

I still am,

Teansie Wheeze
