Writing Sandwiches

I have had this little spell away from it and now that I’m back I’m incapable of writing. Incapable. Have had? Now that I’m back? That...

Work Chat

Work is cabalistic. Not the individual’s job. The tasks at hand, the little pieces of action that add to the whole of a completed...

A Silly Tired Inspired by Dance

The yawn escapes my mouth and my eyelids flutter. My body pushes my eyelids one way, the street sends it another. Why are motorcycles so...

Helping Hand

How many casual life-saving techniques are there? How many should a person know? What is required of the ordinary person? I was in a...

Hair on Carpet

My hair sticks to the carpet. I'm not doing a handstand, I'm on my feet. I push the hoover over it and over it and over it. It just won't...

The Lost Butterfly

A butterfly flew into my apartment today. It moved with some pace, too. I was at my desk, typing, scrolling, working away on the laptop,...

Bad Luck

I’m a little worried about this one. I’m a semi-superstitious person, I don’t want to worsen the situation. Perhaps if I whisper, Reality...

Fatigue

Returning to fertile territory. That’s the aim. I am in those plains, no, those fields, those gorgeous, juicy, green, oh so green fields...

I’ve been taken for a ride by comfort. I saw a flashy car, a limousine for reprobates maybe or a vastly upgraded landfill-born piece of...

Away, Present

I was sitting on a bench. Its back was against a fence that demarcated the edge of a hotel’s premises. Its feet were on a concrete...

Instructions for Using Money

The food packaging has a set of instructions printed on it that tell me what to do to have edible food, so that I can be satiated, so...

What Should I Write?

This is the first week in which I’ve been stumped as to what to write. What does that mean? Does that mean I am within a moment of...

A Period of Devastation

I have entered a period of devastation. The mere idea of navigating through it is rife with dread. I have been terrorised by time,...
