“Just Slightly”

Don’t Touch Her Stereo
by: John Cahill
Her voided shirt was ripped in all of the right placesas He kaleidoscoped down the hallway towards oblivion. Meredith backpacked her stereo and Some Guy I’ve Never Methas a guitar around his armto sing songs Nobody really likesand Some Guy I Really Hate is offering crumpledAmerican Spirits and a trip to the porchto A Girl Everybody Admires. “What’s your major?”
On that porch Joey’s dog dances for treatsand they throw bacon to him because he’s been a good boy.
All along I’m all along on a couchon a river (there’s always a river) in the middle of the roomand I’m rowing towards the stereobecause damn, this song really suckedthe life out of the room(much like certain guests who probablychanged the soundtrack to my success)
All the moment required was some appropriate title music. They changed it to suit their ritualistic needs.

“Sorry guys, I dozed off for a second there,
absorbing the pleasure of the sunlight.
A second of sun became a year in dream.
So sorry once again for getting caught up
in a place you can never hope to be.
It wasn’t sweeter, it just didn’t
have the bite.

“Not Time”
Allison DeBritz
Upon Viewing Michelangelo’s “Statue of David”
Looking up at your gorgeous face,I am reminded of the reason why
I get out of bed in the morningand reluctantly pull the blinds open,
leaving them slightly askew, but nevertheless, ajar.
I have defeated more demons than I care to countand have been to less cities than I would like to.
Somewhere along the lines of human history, someone said,
“This just isn’t good enough. We can do better.”
And they did.
