Hey Mr. Reaper,

I know you're hangin' around.

Waiting for the hanged man in the cemetery grounds.

Hey Mr. Reaper, I know your name.

So how about it Dave?

You wanna play a game?

Hey Mr. Reaper, always chillin with The Sinister Minister and Creeper.

Originality. Always a keeper.

So let's play the Sinister game of Death.

Humor me Dave.

Let this be my last breath.

C'mon Dave. KILL ME!!!

The Soul Speaks
I have already lived through a thousand lives. Perceived this world through a thousand eyes. And though I've died a thousand times.

I Am Found
I drop to my knees on the side of the road Of this long forgotten place I gather the filthy, Long abandoned bundle this fragment of faith

THUG*
Some years ago, I was at a party with a friend in the city next to mine. It's a well-known place of maize and blue that, if you know anything about this town, you know not to call it yellow. It's bigger than my city, and everything from its population's values and fears to its demographics and tax bracket starkly contrasts with my beloved city. Despite this, my town and its neighbor usually coexist fairly peacefully, with the inhabitants of the former generally leaving those in the latter alone, and those in the latter barely ever passing the strip mall at the border between us. "The elephant's graveyard," they'll call my city, quoting The Lion King as they gaze off toward the East. It's not uncommon, and I'm consistently better at disrupting that sort of talk when I hear it, but this party seemed particularly rife with those who felt strongly about the inferiority of where I lived. I was not equipped.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
