I am only as real

fish out of waterThe only thing worse than late night tv is late-late night tv. When the half-assed news reports and corny sitcom reruns give way to hour-long advertisements for this week's hottest new gadget! only three easy payments of 29.99! call now with your credit card! and "religious" programs with pacing televangelists who call out to viewers for salvation and donations while throwing out verses from gilded Bibles they haven't actually read in ten or twenty years.fish out of water by ~vermilion--vermouth

She laughs, and I've never noticed how pretty she is, even though I see her every day. "Yeah, that's some bullshit, isn't it?"

and if i try very hard i do not see it.
only in the quiet moments.
you are a teacher
in the art of forgetting -
already i have forgotten
how to breathe.
air is as nothing.
you are in my blood.

you promised to return -
when? when? when?
i miss you.
i saw you today
and the words in my mouth
blew away with the leaves.
you whispered loving artifice
against my skin in the stillness -
"¿soy una puta, verdad?"
"sí, eres la puta más linda del mundo."
