Ode to Cat

"Come back to bed," he groaned.
She sat facing the door in silence.
"Baby please," turning his face towards her back.
She turned and blinked heavier than a toppling building.
He moaned, closing his eyes.
And she crawled along the floor, stretching her finger tips between the carpet fibers.
"Come here," his smile slid across his face.
She waited for him to close his eyes before one limb at a time rested at the far corner of his bed.
His toes shifted.
But her toes barely brushed his as she lengthened her spine.
He stretched his limbs across the mattress.
Her stomach skimmed his bare skin in her attempt not to wake him.
He rolled over towards her shyness, her cowardly approach.
Her chest tickled his chest hairs.
Her morning breath licked his upper lip.
First her hips, and then her arms, rested onto his forearm.
He kissed her hairline with little hairs snickering in his nose.
Her petite body fit within his corporeal cradle.
He was her lover.
She was his owner.
His free hand danced the rumba at her rump.
And her sweet lips hummed his favorite melody.


She was an acrobat.
She was his cat.

Not everyone has to become a teenage girl with weed for fingers and booze for hands. While writing especially, it's key to have fun and enjoy or else there's no point in calling this an art. So, here is my cheat sheet. Five things to do when hell is freezing over. 1. Light Inscents Editing can be one of the toughest things during a writing process especially when the edits are developmental. To this day, I refused to cut the micro-chapter in Alice simply because that scene ...

What's a body but 23 proteins? Taxes are coming up. Taxes blow when you don't expect to pay more money on top of the money you watch leave your paycheck. I was so worried when my mom told me that I might have to pay additional state taxes --I'm a student and have 25% of my check taken out already.  There are ways to write off expenses like for business or charity. There are also forms like the 1090T form that prevents broke college kids like me from becoming even broker. The new tax bill past at the end of 2017 is something of debate. I am all for lower taxes. If I can work my shift and have enough money for groceries --I am a happy clam. I work three jobs --Learning Assistant, Teaching Assistant, and restaurant employee. All of my jobs combined, I still have about $10,000 in credit card debt already. The current tax bill proposed calls for taxes cuts and decreased interest rates to encourage more spending. Our hope is to help the weak economy climb out of its hole. ...
