Comedogenic reactions

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

It is a flare of social fire that riots across the otherwise dull expanse of my recent weekends, bringing with it highs, lows and intruding side effects.

Late nights and early mornings leave their evidence in the crop of Vesuvian abscess breaching the surface of my epidermis. Face, shoulders arms and back; no expanse of soft skin is impervious to these horrendous little devils.

Taunting me to touch them and squeeze them, to bring forth the torrent of ghastly white pus, and supplant them with the gaping maw of red and sore cavities, condemned to leak the bloody saliva of my lymph system until nature has them sealed.

What is the purpose of this vile bodily reaction? It is beyond my cognition.

Bitter tongue

It came this night, though I had seemed so fine and happy. Then suddenly the poisonous little wretch released from his binds and bounced around inside my head, spreading the hate and anger that comes from nowhere.

A vindictive little attack, a broken friend, the simulacrum of remorse (its true effigy would come later) and no reason.

I can feel him still, a phantom, lingering just beyond my field of view, his dark eyes and seething hate soiling the pages of my mind. I am concerned that one day he will stand where I stand, sit where I sit and greet the people I want to call my friends.

I am sorry, I truly am, you are granted concise sincerity from now on, it is a promise.
