on the third date, my true love gave to me: a barf bag for me to throw up oreos and twinkies in, a subscription to Women's Health magazine—and an olive on a toothpick

A feeling of positive uncertainty, or uncertain positivity. Either way, it speaks forcefully with few words.

Aromassentials:

Her finger traced an abstract pattern across my palm before she placed the bottle in it. “This is a rejuvenating scent that I think might you might enjoy, being it’s naturally derived from several aromatic sources. You’ll have to let me know if you like it, before you leave.” I took the blue obelisk shaped factice in my hands, uncorked the stopper and immediately the opiate scent of lavender, cherry blossoms and jasmine sent an uncontrollable tsunami of memories of women from my youth racing pel… Continue

Curiouser and Curiouser

Guided upstairs tempted an unfamiliar noise,
Tully inched and climbed to attic strewn toys.
A world painted with treasures sprinkled brilliant, gold gowns,
She spied kindly afar the old bygone town.
Unlike her harsh dwelling, of judgment and spite,
her heart melted like sealing wax
Amongst wind-ups and kites.
In her instant of joy
tomorrows were gone,
Tully’s tiny frame explored the dim room,
Slivers of light shone strangely bright,
Washed away her fret and gloom.
The whistling kettle,
it startl… Continue

Father and Son

The crease and crinkle of paper caught Dave’s ear as he walked passed his bedroom. Looking around the door he saw his son crouched on the far side of the bed.
“What are you looking at?” he asked as he came around to see.
Spread out between in front of James was the curvature of breasts and buttocks and a finely manicured lawn with the staple as her bellybutton ornament. Dave stood and rehearsed the reprimand forming in his head, but was interrupted.
“Do you wish that Mum looked like this?”

Comfort Zone

“Do you still love me,” she asked.
“Yes,” he said, “very much.”
“Why . . . why do you love me?
“Because I just do, and I don’t feel I need a reason to, do you?”
“No, and I don’t need a reason to love you back either; no way.”
“Isn’t it nice to know,” he quipped, after a comfortable silence, “ that after 50 years, we still love each other for no reason?”

Two Lies (VIII) - Got Crazy

This ditchwater, State Cop coffee has the kick of a kitten to it, but it’ll have to do—everybody needs what rush they can get in this hangdog world; everybody needs some crazy in their diet. Beanie Hollins’ kind of crazy was imagining he owned the world after a big score, and in the celebration he threw up at the reservoir that night, maybe the flake and whiskey was going to certain partygoer’s heads. Tia Keen’s kind of crazy was an appetite for escape—not just the coke and the jazz joint nights… Continue

Peccadillo

preparing cricked fingers
stumped piles of stems
over days of sunsets
bright finite white kisses
untold truths stabbing stumps
wake up little toes to levitation

She Loves L.A. (Richard and Lola, Jackie and Buck)

Los Angeles is an immense city, sprawling over hundreds of square miles, a seemingly endless urban blanket of “built environment,” where automobiles are the de facto native population, and people seem like an added afterthought, a slapdash attempt to humanize an otherwise non-human landscape. Except in occasional incongruous patches of nearly treeless parks, which seemingly has been placed haphazardly about the city, L.A. is unrelieved by any connection to what could be construed as the ‘natural… Continue

Rabbit

Anna pulled the knitted throw more tightly around her shoulders, pulling her feet up, to sit feotal like on the fireside chair, as she fought to quell the rising disquiet that had begun, a cold sliver of a shoot, the instant she hit the rabbit on her journey to work that morning. She'd felt the pathetic thud and watched, caught by a terrible realisation as its bloodied, jerking, body flew to the kerbside midst the rush hour traffic. Her hands loosley held three scraps of paper, yellowed and shab… Continue

Second Date

I’ll take a white wine spritzer. I’m watching my weight, watching my
carbs. Oh, you’re sweet but I just ate a Twinkie 2-pack in the
bathroom and before that I had a whole sleeve of Oreos which was so
DUMB because you know you have to really brush and brush to get all
that black gunk out of your teeth. So I’m just, ya know, watching my
beverage intake, just like "Glamour" tells you to, staying away from
the cocktails, choosing light liquor. Are you eating that olive?

Irish Rose

My Love is like a wild, irish rose, her hair orange like the ancient sunsets, her eyes the colour of forbidden emeralds, and her skin, ah her skin: lovely to the touch, soft as down and flecked with gold.

Boyfriend Disclaimer

by Molly Williams

May inflict serious emotional pain on those whom he loves, thus causing general turmoil and tears when there is no need for it. May sabotage your first date by drinking more than he knows he should, and then getting on top of the bar and doing a sloppy rendition of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” Is almost ensured to say things that make him sound like a jerk when in the company of important people, e.g. minor celebrities, rich friends and your parents. Will definitely go through deep, intense “moody” phases that he consistently fails at explaining. Loves to pretend he’s Jay-Z in the shower — you will probably want to tear out your eardrums after the first few nights of this, but we’ll let you work that out. May also, under extreme conditions, bring love and happiness into your life — but this is a rare occurrence, and should be met with great alarm.
