It is in all caps Not the first, not the last Not my monkey or hers Knowing our own darkness Faded memories of demons long past, Still haunt Tattooed Alice falling Into a Dali landscape Where up is left And down leads to another dimension. Blood is its avatar, its seal Scarlet stains upon the face A solid mass of contusions Pale, faded roses on the black satin bier Screen shout drawing the usual suspects The “heroes”, The vampires Agendas working against each other Struggling against another iteration Of power and subjugation In a tango where both lead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Topic- Jessica Brooke Miller Poe paraphrase: Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, -Masque of the Red Death ...

A woman in ruby red shoes Out of place on the porch Blue smock and white pinafore Clutching a rabbits foot Older than the hills, younger than a baby Her story is to behold Long ago In a wheat field The storm blew, lifting her gingham skirts High above the rainbow A yellow brick road in the distance But it was not to be The slide formed Past the pot o'gold she went. Falling, Falling Landing with a bump On top of a blonde haired girl. "Oh, excuse me. She said, lending a hand Who are you?" Brushing the dust "Alice. " She replied "I'm hunting rabbit And, you?" "Dorothy. I'm running from an old maid." Alice frowned "Well, before you rudely dropped in Honey Bunny went left." Curious, Dorothy asked "Is it true what they say?" Alice smirked "Much more to the story Than officially told. I wasn't so innocent I was so bold. Peeking in...

“Mommy. Are we there, yet?” The voice had just a bit of a whine to it. “Not yet. We still have a little bit to go.” Kathy reached into the bag at her feet. Out came a bottle of water. She offered it to Emily. “Thirsty?” Brushing a fly off the pale arm, the little girl replied, “No, thanks.” Kathy opened it up and took a swallow, then offered it to Jimmy behind the wheel, who finished it in one long glug.

They probably pooped, too. But the car was moving too fast to see that. It also meant they couldn’t smell it, either. Good. She remembered the school field trip to the zoo. It stunk bad.

It looked ...

The topic this week is “ So many road blocks ”   OK, that naturally bleeds into one of favorite topics, Atlanta roads. Oh, this town is special. Not many places can claim their expressways catch fire and burn to the ground. Add one homeless dude, a rolling molotov cocktail and improperly stored pipe and this is what you get. This is just the latest of the fun.    3 major interstates intersect just south of the state capitol,and they are under construction, all of the time, 24/7.
