Its all mind and bone

Why have you consumed me
taking every realm of thought?
Why do you live in the future 
where impossibilies are naught?

It's because of you I feel restricted
cut off from what is norm 
You tell me what I cannot do
and encourage bad thoughts to form

Yet when I sleep, you disappear
you stumble out my ears
Theres calmness, relief
And the loss of all my fears. 

But every morning its the same
you crawl to where you were
To nestle in your usual seat 
and tell me to be thinner

Vanity

Theres this modelling competition that I've spontaneously entered. And I get that it portrays self-obsession, self-absorbance, self, self, SELF!!!! But the prize is a contract with Chadwick (which is a big deal) and the top 20 finalists are invited to a 'ball'. Now what girl wouldn't want that excitment?

Here's the link, however votes only count for a percentage of the finalist decision. Have a laugh while you're there.

Blue hue

Its the fish blowing bubbles
and the augmented t.v;
Its the fridge weakly whirring 
and other noises you cannot see.

Its the pulsing in your forehead
when you put in too much thought;
Its the stiffening of your joints
when movement has been naught.

This ensues from wordless worlds
where quietude is morose;
This inkling sense of isolation
where only loneliness can boast.

Face lifts for paper goods

Before
After
From drap to fab, transform your boring but cheap notebooks into distinct yet inexpensive style statements. Yes, folks, its that simple; take a journal, measure it. Choose a favourite magazine shot, measure out the journal size onto the picture, and cut it out. Try to cut straight. Use a paper suited glue (like blue-glue stick) to cover the entire front of the journal. Stick down the picture, however if the notebook has a specific spine that effects the bending/opening of the book, then avoid sticking the picture on top of the spine. Let dry. To add extra fenaz attach some brown tape over the spine for a smooth connection between picture and notebook. If its gonna be a frequently used, try covering it with plastic or contact.
Now your plain jane notebook is a glistening delight, clad with beautiful people that no one else has on a practical hand.

The paper boys cat

I sit on your newspapers,
I claw magazines,
I chase away the customers
by bringing dead rats and other things
