The love you missed is more painful than the love you lost.
Neither hurt as much as the love you throw away.
Cousin
Oh, Cousin Junkie, you and your crazy exploits!
Stealing all of Grandma’s rings while we were at her funeral – classic Cousin Junkie!
Tempting
Outside my house is a giant piece of cheese sitting on a metal plate.
Very tempting it is, too.
Art
I once had this cool piece of art with a girl on it crying and a guy saying “Don’t cry – Don’t you know I love you!”
I gave this to a girl and it totally came true ten months later.
Night Break
At daybreak, he said he was sorry the night was over so soon. She assured him that although the sun had shattered the night, the day was as yet unbroken.
Problem Solving
She complained of a bad day at work again.
I made her a hot cup of chamomile tea with a sprinkle of rat poison – that should take care of the problem.
OOPS
I bought a kayak cause I thought it would something fun to do with my friends this summer. After I spent all the money I realized I was the only one with a kayak.
Discrimination
He thought about calling the frogs bug eyed bullies, but changed his mind. So silly he thought for them to be concerned with his warts and short legs since they were all amphibians and it was hard to tell a toad from a frog because the physical distinctions were not always obvious.
Snow
A cup of snow dissolves down into less than a cup of water.
After something changes, it is always lesser, and more, simultaneously.

Monster
The big green monster with the apple eyes?
Yeah, it’s all part of my plan.
Snail
No matter how bad you feel it is nothing compared to how bad a snail feels when he has lost his shell.
All nude and whatnot, the gentle breeze playing across his slimy skin – now that’s feeling bad.
The Worst Heartbreak
“Ahhhh, I feel sooooo good,” slurred the wife before she and her husband passed out from the pills, too drugged to notice the ones that had spilled on the floor.
Their toddler’s funeral that week from an accidental overdose of OxyContin somberly disabused them of that mindset.
Crazy
I recall that you asked me if you went crazy would I still like you.
I said yes, but then I found out it was a line from a song, so no.
Green Plastic Men
G.W. sat on the floor that last night in his round room wearing his flag patterned flannel pajamas, playing soldier with his green plastic army men, lost in the pretend battle game while the real world outside his door crashed.
Daddy George came in scolding briskly in his gentle dignified twang,” G.W. it is time to pack your toys away now and get to bed so the new kid moving in will have a place to set up his own games.”
Secret
You want to know another secret?
I went out with you just so I could see what huge double-D breasts were really like (they were ok).
Words
Market share, market share, market share.
Empty words, empty words, empty words.
A Moment Of Truth
He was only four feet shy of the air conditioner when he fell to the floor suffering from a heat stroke. It was that exact second in time that he realized he had wasted too many precious moments in his short thirty years of life.
Process
We eat.
We excrete.
Right?
Is it right to protest? Is it right to progress?
