Languid - Poem and a short film

Languid are her thighs

Poem by JD Glasscock

Spinning silver off fingertips, flipping winks at skirts off the jitterbug of hips, their thighs carving upturns across lips, and my eyes spit smirks across backlit aves, timely esoterics in the wants and the haves, and the sweat off their curves is the articulation of a tongue in the crease of their font, a peek'a'boo jaunt in the nectar of their forever sweet, and the jerk knee blues roll of legs draped across dream is the scream of their tightened throat in the moaning of trips in lollipop wonder....may i have another? The spreading of their open beats is the invite into the swallow dive of timeless divinity....

Mayan Dreams

Lyrics by JD glasscock

We are counting

tick...tick...tick

We are counting

holding our breath

It is the Nostradomous

burning of sage

it is the Mayan calander turning of the page

it is the ending of an age

And as we stare into the sun

reflecting on all we've done

Is cinder and ash

all we've won?

Greed the trump

of the drum

that siren screams

our dreams

The Weave to deceive

the seed we leave

in memorium

We are counting

tick...tick...tick

We are counting

holding our breath

It is the Nostradomous

burning of sage

it is the Mayan calander turning of the page

it is the ending of an age

And as we say goodbye to

the eve of humanity

it is our morality we left

upon the road

a long time ago

The misery of our history

far outstripping the beauty

we have brushed in reqiuem

Polished suits and green bills

shallow swims and escavated hills

for condiminuims no one can afford

Red ropes and empty children

with broken hopes

and the lope of our breaking stride

the mythology we attempt to hide

under promotional campaigns

And corporate puppets

opening bottles of

million dollar champaigne

While generations have lost

sight of the American Dream

got sold in a back room

for the glitter of gold

and a trash heap

We are counting

tick...tick...tick

We are counting

holding our breath

It is the Nostradomous

burning of sage

it is the Mayan calander turning of the page

it is the ending of an age

An old blues man sings a soft song

on the last days

talking about the rage

that plays upon the stage

written in the toil of a slave race....

And in the shadows lit upon

an ancient cave

written in code and paved

in repose

The strings of his beat up guitar

strum a truth

upon the unlistening fools

about what our legacy should be

A litany of hate and greed

or the depth

of a beautiful dream.......

a beautiful dream.....

a beautiful dream.......

We are counting

tick...tick...tick

We are counting

holding our breath

It is the Nostradomous

burning of sage

it is the Mayan calander turning of the page

it is the ending of an age

We are counting

tick...tick...tick

We are counting

holding our breath

It is the Nostradomous

burning of sage

it is the Mayan calander turning of the page

it is the ending of an age

And the lights dim.......

A comedy short film script of mine

A Slip in the Haze of Want -- She said "Yes!"

A Short Film

By JD Glasscock

INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT

Jack is making out with Jill, hot and heavy, on the couch, right on the edge of the side, near a coffee table. He is grunting and moving, her clothes still on, but then falls off the couch, hitting his head on the table and flailing, knocking two glasses of wine across the room. He looks at the glasses seeping into the floor then back at Jill. He jumps up and runs over to pick up the glasses, putting them on the counter, looking in horror at the big stain on the carpet.

JACK

I'm so so sorry, so sorry. If you have a towell I will clean it up immediately, I I I can't believe did that, it's gonna ruin your carpet, what an idiot I am.

JILL

Forget it Jack and come here.

He looks at her and sees the sultry steamed look in her eyes.

JACK

But it's gonna stain.

Jill gives a petulant look.

JILL

I don't care. Come here, now!

Jack stumbles towards he,r smacking his knee on the table, hopping on one foot, then tripping and landing on her stomach as she goes ooof.....

JACK

I'm sorry....

She puts a finger to his lips.

JILL

Shhhhh! I want to go to the bedroom. I'm ready to, you know.

His eyes become moon saucer big.

JACK

UHhh, uhhh, uhhh....I thought you said we had to date for two months, it's only been 3 weeks.

She looks at him disappointed.

JILL

Well if you don't want to?

JACK

No, no no, no I mean yes, yes I want to, I just thought, uhh, well, yes I really want to.

She laughs.

JILL

Your so cute. DId you bring some , well, some protection?

Jack looks like a freight train just ran over his dreams.

JACK

ah, well no, I mean I didn't think we were gonna, well, you said two months, and well, I , no, I don't.

She smiles a cute, sultry horny as hell, smile.

JILL

It's ok. There's a store right around the corner. I'm sure they have some. I really really want you.

She leans into his ear and kisses it.

JILL

I want you in me.

Jack leaped off the couch grabbing his jacket, stumbling on the corner of the couch, slamming into the wall, then looking back as his hand turns the knob.

JACK

I'll be right back, right back, there and back, like lightning, like , well, lightning.

She is smiling. He goes out and closes the door then it opens back up.

JACK

You will still be here, right, when I get back.

She laughs.

JILL

Go, I'll be right here. Hurry.

As she touches her chest, the door slams.

EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING

The apartment door slams open as Jack comes barreling out running right into a trio of garbage cans that had been sitting at the curb, careening through them, landing in a pile with the cans spewed about him, covered in trash. He looks down at a rotten banana peel on the front of his shirt and dirty diapers on his legs. He leaps up, brushing everything off him, saying ughh, ick. He lifts the trash cans up then attempts to put the trash back on, as an elderly couple walks by him, looking at him like a crazy. He gives up and puts a lid on one of them as another he knocks over another and looks at the ELderly couple bowing his hands in a prayer mode.

JACK

I'm so so sorry. I'm trying to get laid and then wasn't looking, and and then, sorry.

He starts speed walking down the street. The older lady looks at her husband then back at his receding figure then her husband.

ELDERLY LADY

Kids today, no respect, you hear me Bernie? NO respect!!!

BERNIE

Yes Martha, none.

EXT. LIQUOR STORE -- NIGHT

Jack rolls into the liquor store and sees an older indian guy behind the desk. He rushes up in a hurry.

JACK

Hi, well, ah, I kinda need, hmm.....see, me and my girlfriend, oh, wow, girlfriend...uh, I guess she is, wow, so cool..

The shop keeper looks at him, at the trash stained clothes he wears.(Not Done)

JACK

Oh sorry, uhh....yea I fell in a trashcan, then, this old couple.

SAJI

What can I do for you son? I don't need to hear all the tribulations of your existence.

Jack looks embarrased.

JACK

Right sit. Uhh, you see, i could use some, hmm...do you have any condoms sir?

A big smile crosses Saji's face.

SAJI

Ahh the magic of youth, your special night huh. FInally entering the bloom of her flower, thrusting your sword into the crevice of her want. You have trudged the fields of battle and now you wish to charge the gates. Such a monumentous occassion, a night of pleasure, accomplishment and conquering of fears and the taking of courage.

Jack looks taken aback and in confusion.

JACK

Yes, sure. SO can I get some?

The man looks with a sad look.

SAJI

No I'm afraid. All out. We have a flourishing prostitution business right around the corner and haven't been able to keep them on the shelves fast enough.

Jack looks crest fallen.

SAJI

Well my boy I do have one package left but I do not recommend such for you, but then again, maybe you woudl surprise me.

He pulls out a box that says Magnum King Kong Size.

SAJI

Yes, as you see, it is for the largest of large, the King Daddy's of us all, for someone with a penis the size of an elephant's. BUt if you do not hold such girth I would suggest not using it, not only would it fall offthe minutia that is you, but even if it stayed, it would leave you looking, less then you might otherwise. Or maybe you are, shall we say, hiding a beast in the trousers?

Jack sees his eyes gazing down towards his crotch with an almost hungry look, licking his lips. Jack covers his crotch with his hands.

JACK

Uh no, no, just ald average Joe, that's me. Is there anywhere else around here I could get some?

Saji thinks for a moment, his finger on the side of his face as if the process is nuclear engineering.

SAJI

Well, no, not a good idea.

JACK

What? What is it?

SAJI

Well, there are no stores but....the ladies of the eve I mentioned before do conduct their various performances about two blocks north of here. They would probably have what you seek and need if you cared to brave their company.

Jack has nothing to lose. He looks at his watch.

JACK

Thanks. I'll do that.

He turns and hits a display of beef jerkey, cathing it as it starts to tip. He looks back and nods apology and exits.

EXT. STREET CORNER -- NIGHT

A couple hookers are sitting on a corner laughing while a big fellow is talking to a 3rd lady a few feet away. Jack walks, more of a nervous creep towards them. He approaches, gangly and nervous, school boy stutter steps. ONe of the hookers sees him and motions to the girl shes talking to who turns and smiles. She walks towards him confidently and puts her arm around him.

CANDY

Look what we got here GiGi?

GIGIOH I see Candy!! A boy turning to a man, needing some lovin' oooohheeee baby!

Gigi moves up to the other side of Jack and puts her arm around him while he attempts to stutter words out as their free hands roam his body.

CANDY

We gonna rock your world! Isn't that right Gigi? THough he does kinda smeel like a trash heap.

GIGILeave the cutey alone, he must a been working out or something and so excited to get to us forget to shower up. But Oh you so right Candy. He gonna be walkin' funny by the time we ride him rodeo rough.

The giant of a man intersperses himself between Jack and the two woman looking at the ladies in admonishment.

TYRONE

ENough ladies, ya gonna make the boy gizz his pants before the business side of things been taken care of.

Tyrone moves the boy off as the other girl Tyrone had been talking to gets in a guy's car.

TYRONEOK my boy, you want one or both ladies?

Jack fidgets.

JACK

Well no, I mean, I was...

Tyrone keeps going as if yes is the only word he hears.

TYRONEA wrap around octopus is 25, a chocalate hard stroke is 35, a bend and two step shuffle is 50 and the carnival carasol chuck and jive pump trump is on special for 75. Double all that is ya want both? So what's your pleasure or sin boy? C'mon speak up, no shy boys on these streets, time to put some green and steps to manhood.

JACK

Uh, well you see sir, I didnt really want sex. I, you see, I

Tyrone gives him a dark look.

TYRONE

YOus ee son, wasting my time is a good way to get bruises on that pretty boy face.

CANDY

What he say Tyrone? He don't want us? What, we ain't good enough? Did ya hear that Gigi? We ain't good enough for the yuppy boy.

GIGII heard him Candy. What nerve coming down on our block and then saying we ain't good enough. You gonna let him talk about us like that Tyrone?

TYRONE

Can't say that I am dolls. Gotta a reputation to hold up. Big Tyrone's corner you rolled up on. There rules boy, rules.

Ya can't be coming on up here and insulting my dolls.

Jack has deer in headlights look.

JACK

No I mean, I didn't, ya see, the store, he said, you might have some, but no , I menat no insult.

Tyrone puts his finger to his lips in the quiet motion saying "SHHHH!"

TYRONE

C'mon boy, take it like a man, I'm only gonna give ya one pop, what we call love tap, show ya next time ya come, ya got love in your heart and green in your hand.

JACK

but ya see sir I mean, I just.

Tyrone does the shhhh again.

TYRONE

This hurts me more then it does you son. His fist comes back and flies towards a POV camera shot of Jack's.

INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT

Jack enters Jill's apt and sees her on the couch in a see through nighty. She looks up and sees a big black eye and his clothes torn and dirty and a look of defeat. She runs to him.

JILLOMG! What happened?! Are you ok baby?

JACKNo. I'm sorry. I couldn't find any.

JILL

OH my poor boy. It's ok. (Shows him a silver package.) I went next door and my neighbor had some. I should of asked her first. She is a lady of the night who works around here somewhere.

His eyes get moon saucer big. Before he can say anything she is grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the bedroom. SHe turns with a wicked smile.

JILLAll she had left was MAGNUM KING KONG SIZE, but it should be fine, I remember on our first date you hinted that you were big down there, hmm, can't wait.

Jack looks like he just swallowed something too big for his throat.

JACK

UHhh, uhh, I did, uhh.

SHe pulls him in the bedroom door and before it closes he looks back as if escape is his only desire. The door shuts.

The End.
