a grey knive lurking on the corner of the bathroom counter, incongruously balanced on the edge - just about to fall - the light of day leaked into the room like dish detergent being squeezed gently out of a bottle, and over in the corner, rats rustled in a paper bag. he walked into the room to the sound of the ceiling fan slowly misunderstood. his left sneaker squeaked slightly. paper in his pocket crumpled up and a blue crayon behind one ear. a muddy cigarette in one hand and no lighter. his eyes are silently stained-glass windows inside a church with no congregation, waiting for the hollow bellpulls - the doorbell of the Almighty. he takes out a sharpie and marks an x on the wall. moments later a fly buzzes fatly in and lands on the                                             spot, preening and humming to itself. below, at the baseboard, an ant trundles in. he looks at the mirror. he looks away. outside, a bird hits the window, and all things still, in hushed                                          mourning. an ignorant cricket looses a selfish mating call and

the waiting game.

               the tune is "the last stop" by dave matthews band.

the time is noon, on a otherwise blue-eyed tuesday morning.

dreams were gray-eyed and scattered. it rained heavily. i fell asleep reading "sacrament" by clive barker, something i haven't read in a long time, after having completed "tender is the night" by f. scott fitzgerald. soon i will need to find a copy of "coldheart canyon" by clive barker, and presently i will begin to devour that, as well.

a few more days stretch out across the expanse of waiting - talk of moving in, talk of the year ahead. i've planned out a schedule for myself, and want to adhere to it. lots of free time, lots of rehearsing, lots of time to get shit done. this is a year of re-invention. i cannot wait for the winter :

i am a winter person, as it is, anyway.

long talks with peter online, in which i concern myself with the business of thought vs. action.

a mess of clothes behind me, but a contented empty space on the rumpled sheets of the bed.

i would really like a thunderstorm while i'm down here. but if not, that's okay too.

writing more, now. and the possibility that my PC in maine might be easily fixed bringing a palpitation to my heart. the lights are dim here. i feel like listening to some coldplay, or something of that nature. ben folds five. the beatles, maybe. something to wake up to.

and, i'm done.
