Dear Diary,
I've been watching the old lady down the hall. This kill is going to be easy. From what I can see out of the corner of my peephole, she leaves everyday at around 8:30 in the morning to get the newspaper and a coffee. Around lunch time she leaves the door open to her apartment till about 8 in the afternoon. She leaves it open for ventilation while she cooks and to air out her apartment.
She takes her smoke breaks around 1, 5, and 8.
I didn't notice this earlier but Vanessa left me some messages on my answering machine. She mentioned that she will be away for a couple days and, get this Diary, she misses me. So overall, a good day. Tomorrow, will be even better.
The hunger
scares me.

Todd, it's me Vanessa. I haven't talked to you since Wednesday. I thought you were back in town by now. I hope you're not avoiding me. Anyways, call me or stop by. I know this may sound weird but I feel lonely when you're gone. Anyways, call me.

Mr. Casil, this is Tony, from Frontier Publications. I don't know how to tell you this but we decided not to go ahead with To My Enemies. What you sent, well... It isn't what we are looking for. It's... Look it's too depressing. A lot of this seems like dribble and crying. I talked to your agent William and we are discussing an alternative to fulfill your contract. William will get together later with you on this. Thanks.

Todd, buddy old pal. It's me William. I got out of a meeting with Frontier Publications and looks like they are pulling the plug on your book. But the jokes on them. If they don't put it out they still have to pay you. You won't get any percentage from sales but they have to pay you the full bonuses for writing the book. So keep writing. I'll see if I can find another publisher.

Watching from a far.
Watching you love her kills me.

Learning God
These beloveds of mine
wend their way through minefields of learning,
dig through layers of deadliness for you.
Me, too
blinded still by the glitter of my tripwire,
I dance along the edges of these cliffs
believing there is an invisible bridge, casting sand
out into the sky, ready to run along the glimmer of walkway
it reveals, assume
there is no bottom to this gorge, launch off
and grow my wings as the wind hits me in the face
and think I have help to give to my beloveds.
Maybe the difference is that
I have left the ground, and they are still pushing poles into
the next bit of dirt, mincing toward the next buried mine.

Dear stranger . . .
A man with a torch thats you comes into my house and says, I'm here, I ought to burn your house down . . .
But will you let me collect my hospitalities, and present them to you, all lined up in a row? There are so many! First, I ought to offer you a drink . . . then I ought to ask you to sit . . . then I ought to ask about the wife and kids . . .
But you say, its best if I dont stay long I ought to just torch your house and be on my way I dont want the mind to demand other things from me . . .
Start here, I say, gesturing towards the bedroom. It seems most flammabl
