My Top Ten of Non-Breathing Things I Love

1. The middle of the night.
2. Reading (even the shampoo bottle).
3. Writing (gosh, I hope that is what it is I do..).
4. Conversation.
5. Tim Horton's Coffee
6. Coffee
7. Rain
8. Loud Music (Help me! I am on a Bubble Gum 80's pop kick!)
9. Mini-Eggs (I miss you so..come back, Easter)
10. Laying in bed for an hour after I wake-up.

Well that was not much fun as I expected. I was hoping for a suprise. I guess sometime I will have to do a Top 50, instead.

Non-breathing things... hmm....

Now, if you would have said INANIMATE OBJECTS, I could have at one time listed my ex husband...

#8: Why not go back a decade to the 70s and play some bubblegum 70s Ramones. Nobody would say anything if it were loud...it's supposed to be that way! Maybe some Blondie. Also ok loud.

Or, for the 80s, how about The Smiths. Loud. People will stay away. I don't know if this is what you want. Maybe they'll gather 'round you. "Poor, poor, wounded soul," they'll say. "She's listening to The Smiths. Loud."

i think i would like to add... the middle of the night does breathe... softly, and sometimes with labor.

I think I am absolutely thrilled to find you hiding here on me.

Unending Paper Chase

You check in on me when you get your break for lunchtime now. You never used to. You ask me, "Are you all right?" You breath in and out hard once through your nose, like it is a chore to even ask. It seems to me that for you everything is an obligation, even holding my hand. Everything you do doesn't feel like anything more than surveillance now. I don't want the days to end and it is getting harder to sleep at night. I am starting to feel sick, like I have the flu. I'm always cold. But I haven't eaten much lately. My stomach is filled with acid. I smile at you anyway. I write two letters a day. One to keep you smiling and one that tells of the truth, but they both look the same. You do not know that I form certain words and sentences in a way that triggers me, in a way that reminds me of what is real. It is something that I started doing in grade school for tests, so that I could easily remember the answers, and then later, so my mother would not underst...

Boxing Day

Countless times, on the weekends when you are here, you leave for me a stream of yellow in the bathtub. Something angled wrong in this 160 year old building. Sometimes you hit the tiles, as you whip your dick to the left to spray. Do you hold a finger over your pisshole? Do you laugh inside your head? I don't want to know. She bathes in there too.  I have been kind even letting you here. It is only because I love your father.    It is May or June, I don't remember. As sickness washes over me and the rest of the planet too, it can be easy to lose track of time. We tend to the plants, stroke their leaves and name them all. We watch the cat grow fatter, as she lolls in the sun on the stolen chair cushion she's dragged to the hard cement balcony floor. I feel like I know Gamer Chad better than myself and she complains about Jordan Peterson. She can't stand his voice.  But I am more tired and angry on weekends. I tell my her so. I tell her my solution. She tells me she...

Below One Eye

It's just a phase, the Moon says to her, when she tells him she can't sleep. Up again, at 6 a.m., tossing and turning through fitful dreams. The sort of dreams that say, You can still have this, if you want this. Weeks of them again now. They are not unpleasant, especially if she can wake herself up fast when she realises where she is. Before she sees his face. She has taken to arming herself with protection. She conjures up her older brother's face and he brings along his wife. They stand beside her and help wake her up. "But if you don't want to," her brother says, leaves the offer on the plate, "I can kill him instead." But I disagree. He doesn't want to die. And that's such a shame. It is the end of winter now. It holds on like the cat who doesn't want to be picked up. The hateful sort of cat; the kind who would spit at you instead of nuzzle. And that makes it hard. Not to want This. She has said nothing to him, that she hasn't...
