IN ANOTHER LIFE WHEN WE ARE ALL CATS
Drugs through the needle are to be avoided, no one warned me, though, about the dangers of the little vibrating device I am holding in my hand. I was not told that once you get started it is not that easy to stop. Dosification and moderation are key to a healthy, balanced life; getting to…

LIPSTICK RED
The red on my lips helps me stay grounded, less ethereal. It keeps my mind sharp and aware of the bondage to my body. I study the mark it leaves on my glass as an irrefutable proof of interaction. I will aim to drink from that very same spot every time I quench my thirst,…

THE EMPTY SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO ME
You haven’t replied to my message but, at this stage and age, I let that micro-nanosecond of disappointment slide through and out of my body without much residual regret.

CHANGES
Things go fast, very fast, around me. I seat back and sip my lemonade, with a twist. It gets warm, hot, I put my fresh hand on the back of my neck while I see my world melting, things are changing, I learn to deal with it. My body is not my temple, it’s my…
