You don’t know me unless you’ve lived inside my mind and have descended the canyons of my cerebral cortex. Or been electrified by my snappy neurons. Or LSD Tripped onto the dark spaces of my imaginations……

You want an ever smiling Kewpie Doll from the carnival fair. A Stepford friend who is on stage and performing all the time.

Fuck your Chirpy sing song alongs……..Mitch is dead and the champagne bubbles are just wet splotches on a slippery floor.

For the nightmare is all I can see as I slit your throat while you feed me sugary fake happiness and false laughter.

Wind-up up baby doll toy. “My name is Talking Tina and I Hate you.”  What are you gonna do with this new reality. You know the one with the sunny skies where Old Sol has burned through the ozone layer peeling your skin like an onion. Exposing your deadliest secrets. What? It’s not all fun and games? Coulda fooled me. Guess I’m the project that couldn’t be fixed, reigned in or repaired. Sad commentary on your skills or mine?

The cot pulled away from it’s winding sheets slowly undulating wrapping itself around Barbie’s effervescent grin.

I’m smiling now aren’t you happy?  As the blood spurts forth like a fountain from severed arteries. I’m smiling now and we are all happy. Say Hello Greetings to Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.  Let me drop a trail of sugarplums to the Old Crone’s cottage where we will go inside and have the ancient hag for dinner. Whilst mortar and pestle grind decayed flesh.
