“Do you know anything about this ‘rap’ music?” The old man stopped me in the middle of a certain massive department-type retail outlet, which will remain nameless save for its bullseye oriented logo and quirky marketing campaigns. The question jerked me out of my discussion concerning the love Elton John gets on the block…lets just […]

Each Key
each key on this board, white expanse, crying out to my depression, too many hearts have fallen in my wake, now mine too likewise crushed by love’s loss. how many times have the doors closed behind me, how many warm wet dreams bled into my shirt as I let her cry? as she let it […]
What Sweet Caress
Teetering ever so delicately on the line between staying in a school where I detest both the work and the environs and sallying forth into a cold world of gnashing teeth determined to rend me to little bits…this is where I find myself now, on this day, preparing to battle my inner conflict. “No sun […]
One Night at the Dreams
Then, out of the mass of moving bodies, there she stood. I stopped, frozen for a second or two that felt like forever, then: “Hi, Anthony…I am in trouble, aren’t I?” “You damn straight.” The difference between my eSelf and my real person are so vast and great as to make any real description of […]
Sittin’ & Waitin’
At the crossroads, me and Ol’ Scratch. Shit, here I sit, waiting for my future to meet me. Thing is I probably don’t even need the deal, but my insecurity has led me here, got me sellin’ my soul for fame and success. The gifts I’ve had, the talents I’ve been given, and the opportunities […]
[written 9-11-02]
I guess it’s almost required that I say something today. A year ago, this time, I was driving people home, fearing for my life, for my family’s life, and fearing for the life of my girlfriend (now my ex), all of whom I could not reach on my cell phone. I had written before about […]
Sitting in Class
Wondering what is gonna go on my lil’ “Omerta”…my professor is so funny, but it takes away from the subject, if only because I have such a deep interest in the topic. Computer law, the legal issues related to computers and the internet, is in my opinion, the future of freedom. We have bought and […]
Sumter Sister
I can’t stop thinking about her…every little thing is on my mind, and I don’t know what to do about it…I know its cathartic to write about it, but I fear the consequences of these keystrokes…what if she reads these words and figures, correctly, how turned upside down I am about her, and it turns […]
Warnings
at the absurd risk of having yet another person read this… word of warning. if you know me, and we are friends or buddies or whatever, do me, yourself, and innocent schoolchildren a favor. STOP READING THIS PAGE. there is a good chance I will come on here and vent and say something really pissy […]
Fan Club of One
afroasia, my egotistical lil friend, advised me to write ’bout her, because I was feening to write about something. As I have tired of scribbling nonsense about being broke (always a popular topic of discussion) or my own abject boredom (again, far too commonplace a subject), I decided to take her up on her lil’ […]
