"Nude"

"We are only what we always were, but naked now." When does John Proctor know he will die? Proctor, an antecedent for John Tucker Must Die? And I hear today that John Wick is responsible for real murders. Inside I say, "Don't get any big ideas." I fret, I worry, I think "they're not going to happen." John lies, "you paint yourself white," and he thinks John Dies at the End. The hint of DeLillo, the return of the Lynchian refrigerator buzz, my friend saying he just deals with the cognitive dissonance, "the dude abides," yet I "fill up with noise" and feel like I must scream... John dies and goes to... Hell? The want for change. Be the Change. UC* in the world. Penny thoughts, momentary notions, liminal writing, "his gi was so thick, I couldn't get a grip on it." "Mind is thinking."

*"UC in the world" besides an obvious pun is a reference to a realization I had when my dad and I both were members at different forums with the initials UC.

"Everything in Its Right Place"

I'm so sick of the taste of cough drops! "Yesterday, I woke up sucking on a lemon." It's just red and yellow back and forth, back and forth, reaching in my pocket wondering which flavor it'll be... "There are two colors in my head." *cough* *cough* Hey, I didn't catch that! (Sorry, coughing!) "What, what was that you tried to say?"
