Girl walks into a Bar
Prose/Free Verse/Automatic
So this girl I know, she's already done with her midlife crisis and empty nest syndrome, and she's gotten off the hard drugs and just sticks to cigarettes and coffee now. She was watching the old movie Pretty Woman. She decided to put on her long hair wig and go sing some karaoke at the local pub.
She got to chat with a few blokes. They were all nice and handsome. One was even flirting with her and talking about sex. They sang a duet. She wasn't trying to reject any attention or good offer, so she explained to the chap, "I'm a little scared of boys at this time."
He understood. She went home after their duet. She was running out of intelligent things to say, and he hadn't laughed at her jokes.

Through the Water to the Lights
Fig looked at the clock on the wall in the hallway which read 3:30 p.m. The power was still off, the water outside still not gone, and Uncle Georgio still had not made a sound or come out of his room. Fig knew she had to do something at this point. She went to her closet and got her bathing suit and water shoes to wear so that she could attempt to go through the flood water. After she changed into her swim gear, she went to talk to her children.

Official Notice: Preservation of the Heart
Attention. This is an official notice to all residents of the inner landscape. Your heart requires daily inspection. Neglect may lead to quiet corrosion, unnoticed at first, creeping through thoughts like fog through a forest.
