The Commission WIPI want you to paint my wife, he said. All right, I said.The Commission WIP
I hear you’re quite the painter, she said.
He left and I sat her down, folded one of her hands over the other, brushed her hair from her face.
Are you comfortable? I asked.
Quite, she said. Though I must be honest – I don’t know why my husband wants a painting of me.
He loves you,I said.
Then why not look at me? she said.
I had no answer. I readied my canvas, my paints – adjusted the drapes, redirected the lighting – dipped my brush, began to paint. Thre
In IntrospectAs I took a shower this morning, I catalogued all of her faults in a mental list and came up with at least as many flaws as fingers on my hands.In Introspect
As I got dressed, I tried to address as many of her virtues, but the effort to do so demanded so much thought that, when I finally realized I thought in vain, I found that I had stopped what I had been doing and rooted myself to the spot.
As I dragged myself to class, I caught a glimpse of her in the library and grimaced, watching her follow me with wearied patience. What a waste of skin and hair a
All the While, the Clock...The sky, in envy of the grass, Took on a greenish hue; And when the grass caught word of this, It felt a little blue.All the While, the Clock...

Treat every day as your last and hope for the best that you don't piss off the law haha
I guess I can go ahead and let you know why I love the piece so much: I think it's a more efficient means of relating mankind's many faiths to each other than the "coexist" bumpers stickers - which are awesome, don't get me wrong, but your piece shows the religions interacting in a way that the "coexist" emblem can't convey quite as well. The piece (and my homework, as we happen to be covering the birth of Christianity and its origins in Judaism and Greco-Roman paganism in history class, lol) exemplifies how each religion doesn't exist circumstantially; they're all related, and arguable none of them would exist if the ones before them hadn't, all the way back to the earliest pagan religions...
Anyway. Wow. I guess I could have just left that on the piece, huh? </comment fail>

And I'm glad you liked "The Choking Game"; kind words from talented writers never fail to perk up humdrum days like today
