  Pencil

  

  By queer_fish, San Antonio, TX

  Pencil, pencil, wood and lead, Extracting musings from my head. Ideas, notions, visions, reflections, Schemes, theories, dreams, introspections – Jumbled in my mind into a muddled mess, Of words and phrases I must express. With few escapes these thoughts are trapped in my skull – Purpos...

  Haircuts

  

  By queer_fish, San Antonio, TX

  Moment Before Deliciousness

  

  By queer_fish, San Antonio, TX

  Hypnotic, scrumptious, alluring chocolate cake, Tempting me with its flirtatious aroma Taunts me, knowing I must wait to devour it. I tune out the sounds of obnoxious birthday music, Laughter, and my own heavy breathing As I stare, entranced, at my lip-smacking prey. My mouth begins to wate...

  By queer_fish, San Antonio, TX

  Sun glittered on the gray, cracked pavement that divided two rows of identical houses. Houses with identical gardens, splotches of faded green and parched yellow. On the scorched straight ribbon of road, a child galloped past, dragging a cherry-red wagon containing a cowering dog wearing a miniature...
