A Ghost of Both, a Fusion
Her face seemed to crack and reveal the full rush of her need
passing dumbly like life itself.... Remember rock-n-roll sexmusic blasting
a young woman whose physical composition made her look like the
strange expression had come into his face again. “After all, the management
just gestured vaguely in the direction of her purse. 'Take what you need.'"
We moved from that clean house with the white walls and into the house
replying to each other: Maybe, maybe, maybe. The silence went
awkward and alien with the missing finger, and the knife kept
smelling like the dusty air. "Trou-ble," she hooted. "Trouble,"
the image of myself in the mirror must never fade into someone.
Someone must have been running a bath, because the
white T-shirt that billowed on his thin chest like a loose sail
waited on the thunder, waited on the thunder.
South Park 17.4, "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" (2013)
