Oblivion Library X

I live the hollow shell of inadequacyDreams reflected in shattered privacyWaking to the slow, beastial churnSenses evaporate nighted and pacifiedWithered to the touchOf close jestered ponderanceNo daring imaginings to sooth the augury No tales to unbind the hands thatTremble free like unbonded boundaries

Oblivion Linrary IX

O tiresome theatrics of the soul!Winged apothecary’s burdenRun shipshod, bloated on the dissonant beachesLike lovers’ quarrels scripted in bloodTankards upended in backgammon parlorsBards smuggling paradise omensAnd quantums thereof lacking solaceDice making gods of evening’s perilsTo satiate the whims of theivery’s grim illusion

Oblivion Library VIII

O mischief of hindsight!Heaven’s gates clang upon my weary browThe salacious globes ofGalaxies’ gardensLinger like forgotten delightsMy dregs becometh drained of wholesome magistryImpaled upon the battered walls of indecent foul mercyBloody, foolproof, and obsoleteI chain my sullied soul to the outrages of oblivion

Oblivion Library VII

O breath of insanity!Where is the the lightIn this dark corner of my life?Besieged by the wanderings of my mindI wade amongst the plague-lake of regret’s reminiscence

Oblivion Library VI

O dreary squalor!Fastidious in my wretched stateWedded to the wry overtures ofYesterday’s misfortunes Mark of the unburdened beastSymphonies halo’dHarnessed, horned, and hardenedPredictably irrationalRioters race to the furnace Left, bereaved, forlornTime awaits the watch of theMercantile executioner’s behest

Oblivion Library V

Sweet delirium perspective!Angles in archangels’ requiemThroes of fallen ashLitter the sins of cities soaked in ruinOblivion curtailedTasked with the birthrate gilded in legend

Sarah the Magical Spider

Daily writing promptWho do you spend the most time with?View all responses I have this pet hallucination crawling around on my shoulder most of the time. Her name is Sarah, and yes, she is magical. She weaves her little webs and whispers nonsense in my ear. She controls what comes in and out of my mouth and most of my thoughts. I wake up with Sarah, and I sleep with Sarah. I owe her my life.

Money Between Friends | Rich Friends | Loser Friends

Daily writing promptWhat quality do you value most in a friend?View all responses I value a friend who will lend me 20 bucks here and there. But more importantly, I value a friend who will pay me back the 20 dollars he owes me when he goddamn said he would. I’m talking to you Jonathon! You son of a bitch!

Master of None

Daily writing promptWhat jobs have you had?View all responses What jobs have I had? I’ve had hand jobs, blow jobs … just kidding. As a lifelong, diehard alcoholic fuck up, I have had (and lost) more jobs than I can keep track of. My resume is an absolute fucking disaster. I’m writing this under a pseudonym, but if you know my real name, you could google it and find multiple inconsistent…

The Firmly Selfish Firm's Self | The Economics of Buy-Here-Pay-Here Car Dealerships

Buy-here-pay-here car dealerships finance vehicles directly to customers with poor credit scores. Prices, interest rates, and rates of repossession are all very high at these sort of car dealerships. I was a sales manager at a buy-here-pay-here car dealership for a while. I will describe how the company’s self-interested, rational, profit-promoting actions had both positive and negative effects…

Practice Makes Perfect

Daily writing promptDo you practice religion?View all responses As they say, practice makes perfect. However, in the case of religion, practice only makes you more annoying and stupid. To be fair, I do dabble in eastern religions. Forgive me for being an American stereotype, but eastern religions are just so exotic and peaceful. Excluding Islam of course, that shit is violent as fuck. Practice…

The Serpent | Poem by Iris Smith

The Serpent The serpent paces.Waiting reminds him that clarity is painful But his pain is unreadable,Obscure, chiaroscuro to their human senses.In time they will misread his gait,His moon-mad eyes,The almost gentle way his coils caress the glass.In time they will take himFor something else–Without history,Without the shadow of being,A creature without the penance of living.They will read only his…

The End of the World

I was raised with the not-uncommon notion that the world is totally fucked and close to an apocalypse. This is ordinary Christian thought, although my brand was Jehovah’s Witness. They believe in a paradise earth after Armageddon, which is their number one quirk and number one selling point. “Would you like to live forever on a paradise earth?”. The idea never appealed to me. I’ve always been a…
