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

must be the early morning heartburn kicking in. divisive emotions & a murmuring heart. a terrible and draining fear of realising i'm horribly unattractive. vanity - a worser sin i've known, i'm sure, but this seems to be my karmic counterpart. insecurity & vanity. i need to cultivate some vices. and a bottle of tums, that'd be good right around now. and to pick up the guitar or the piano seriously. i need a second artistic outlet other than theatre. art or music. something. something active, too, maybe. to round it all out.

wishing i could enter in here with (truthful and flagrant "i love my friends" entries) and finding that i can't allow myself to. i do love my friends. but i find myself troubled. never swept along with them in riotous bursts of laughter like tara & jason do. wishing i did have that - perhaps in girlfriend form, and that's why this percolating, confusing loneliness.

something. i seek tums now. and a good book.
