will the real STINGRAY please stand up?

all the same? 

in one way or another

avoid the head rush

- don't stand up to quick -

the legless may remain seated

Coming to you direct from the land of the red umbrella

This is a test

This is only a test.

There is no pass - There is no fail.

Only an eye from dark to light...

Blush

Keg's tapped. There are those red cups over there. She pointed to a small table. I saw blue ones he said. Red, blue. Does it matter? Figured you want me to use the red. She pulled out a shot glass from under the table she was working. She opened a drawer and removed a bottle. It's not the good kind. He took the bottle, removed the cap. He took a good long pull. Better? How'd you know? Your hands are shaking. He blushed the blush a person wouldn't really notice. But she could feel it just the same.

TRANSMIGRATION SOLO

See the black bird
in that tree
trying out the branches, puzzled.
I am up there with you
puzzled against the rain
blinking my eyes.

I sense a growing hunger for inedible people, places and things.

Far from the need to be done
