Tell Sylvia Her Library's to Die For























Fuckin' writer types.  They play with gullibility as a cat would with a ball of yarn, mildly amused because they know the privileged truth.

But here I am, always the hypocrite because who am I kidding, that yarn ball's damned fun to paw around with, just so long as I'm not the one coming unraveled.  Touche you company of Shakespeare.  Your wit is well-noted.  It's a pity I won't be joining your ranks because I truly love this place.  But maybe it's not so bad.  I hate that haughty upper lip of proclaimed writers, assholing their way smartly through life's bowels because the recognition of that privileged knowledge and tongue feels so good.  But it leaves a taste of shit in my mouth.  And I know, or fuck, I fucking hope that air never becomes my defining one.

Shh, now.  I think Sylvia's listening.  I wish, maybe, that she'd smile at my words and pull up a rug corner for me.  Oh, hey!  I think I see her though falling slowly before this one window here upstairs, and she's content, alive in that magic space of hers.  Hard to catch she is, and discreet too.  I almost miss her.  She's spinning webs of silk thread instead of words now, with eight arms and eight eyes, not two.  What more would a perpetual reader and writer want.  More eyes to read with and more arms to write with.  I'd like to see her web sometime, but I won't ask questions.  I bet she's the silent type.
