Downwrite - June 2008

Brickle

June 26th 2008 08:12
A brick of lead with jagged edges
Rips abruptly through the hedges
Tears a path through the grass of the Palace
And lies alone in silent malice.

State of Mind

June 25th 2008 06:58
State of mind
Mind the state
State the find
Find the Gate
Gate the Fence
Fence the Man
Man the defenses
Defend the plan
Plan the attack
Attack the House
House the Child
Childe the Mouse

Save the Night
Knight the Man
Re-Man the defences
Re-Defend the plan
Plan the Journey
Journey to Dubai
Do Buy the Can
Can you cast the die?
Die in Disgrace
Disgrace your Mate
Mate with your Lover
Love her; She’s great!

Song

June 19th 2008 12:37
Write me a song as tender as light
A ballad that turns the darkness to bright
Something that evil cannot destroy
That lets me disintegrate into simple joy.

Give it up, man...

June 16th 2008 05:00
The sun does not make a fuss
When man aims at it with Blunderbuss
It simply chuckles, with subtle glee

Buddy

I am a scorpion, I am a blade
I am a shadow that lies in the shade
I am your killer and I am your dancer

Ode To ‘No Country for Old Men’

June 14th 2008 09:13
Though your faith in my taste I don’t want to displace
An admission I make that may throw me from grace.
This move so loved and often adored

A little man called little Thor
Rode upon a mighty mouse
Which would bellow, shriek and roar

Glitter quickly in my eyes,
Turn a lovely hue, and then

I told u I was Hardcore

There’s only one risk about anything, and it’s getting caught. Not by just anyone. By people who do things. People who act on stimulus.

It’s January 12, 2003. Ripper Logs on to IRC.

COVER YOUR EYES

June 5th 2008 17:07


I looked at them both from a distance. They were blurry, like they were behind some curtain. When I covered one of my eyes, one of them would disappear

I Am Zombie - Part 1

June 5th 2008 15:57
It’s a strange thing to find yourself rolling in your grave… then waking up.

Pushing through the dirt I emerged into a moonlit night, noticing for the first time my rotting flesh and the maggots feasting on it. For some reason I felt a certain calm, as if they were keeping me company

Dear Orble

June 5th 2008 15:15
Dear Orble

I am writing this letter as it is presently 1.04 AM, and I have yet to work up sufficient motivation to sleep. Why? Goodness knows. OR perhaps I do. Let's blame Zappa shall we? Yes, even as I type I can hear him and his freak possie play "The Return of the Son of the Monster Magnet." This in itself is not so powerful a force, but it was to my misfortune that I read also the liner notes, so filled with revulsion towards the monotony of modern society, I was infused with desire for action! To what action? I'm not so sure. Logic subtly implies to me my compulsion to jump on my bike, head down to the train station and draw with chalk is not terribly good, but my gut (Zappa, you bastard) is indicating otherwise. And writing! Damn, curse it. Zappa has managed to climb into my keyboard, mix himself with Hunter S Thompson (who already takes over my speech when enhanced with Vodka) and has be writing out this Stream of Consciousness type piffle. Just think... or don't. Haha

Desperation

June 4th 2008 08:18
Flies in flypaper; buzzing doesn't mean efficiency. Effective time management. Deadlines. Water cooler talk. Did she really blow him? Sardines. Cubic space. White walls. Always wash your hands. Everyone loves a hero. Special Documentation. Water cooler talk needs more material. Spreadsheet like a noose. Slow strangulation. Carbon copy. Everything is fragile. Contingency plans. What's left to surrender? Go out fighting. Come on old man; this won't hurt a bit.

10 Heroes That Need to be Written.

June 2nd 2008 10:28
1. Like Bond but Gay. We never see gay heroes. Wouldn't that be just fantastic though?

2. A disabled hero would be great. Perhaps in a wheelchair or something? Maybe a mental disability. Can you imagine the potential for a Manic Depressive Hero struggling to get the girl and save the day? Or Schizophrenic, or MPD. Autism and OCD Heroes tend to be fantastically complex, but are quickly becoming a stereotype. What kind of struggles could your hero face in this way

looking so hot against the hood of his car
