A dream last night
I dreamed that I was interrogating a turtle. After a series of odd and anxious-feeling dreams I don’t quite remember I was lying on my bed (still dreaming) and Timmy (my cat) walks in meowing at me. Although he meowed I understood perfectly he meant, “Direct your attention to the floor beside your bed!” I looked and jumped in disgust for a moment, because I thought it was a...

Hello,crazy dream about Jeff Magnum!
Ok, ok, so first: I was with Megan in New York and there was a hurricane and we wear running away from it. It was quite a vague dream.
Then, we were in Toronto (downtown) living together in this sprawling beach/pool house and her brother, which happens to be Annie’s brother in real life, was in one of the enormous bedrooms. I looked outside the window that overlooks the beach (!?) and I...

The first poem I had written since being 11.
Lies = Silence (shhh! I know it sounds silly … )
A hush clamps on the truth not spoken, shrinking from proof A tool for shyness or evading offence the guise of a liar is silence Sat at the base of a throat Confessions are choked & smothered to death the ommissions congest in a chest Tangled amongst this festering nest Thoughts once glossed over, now form cysts Army of vile germs,...

Shaken out dead from tree and hill:...”

I miss summer. Why can’t I live somewhere without winter?

A Story of an Emotional Break-Up of Mine
Since I was 11 I sought comfort in your cream-coloured pages A fantastical world, where quotation marks had not two apostrophes, but only one! The novelty of the British Slang I at first didn’t get, but grew to understand My heart beat frantically for you when there was a ‘torch’ under your flammable covers! The spine of your third volume fell apart From bending back too many...
