by Ken and Erica

I'm not that great,

Rubbing my eyes,

Ok?

Ok, that's the first line,

The dark line,

Sensational,

Wondering,

Does it sound to you like those birds and the crow are talking?

She imagines it,

No imagines it,

Do you know what I mean?

Air,

I like the color of these walls,

Coughing,

Could have said smoke,

For the air,

You know what I mean?

You remember where you were in 1975?

Flying a kite.

I was in a car with my Father chased by a tornado in Oklahoma.

Really?

I still like these shoes. Thank God for this quiet. My heart's pounding a bit.

Actually it was for the air, the smoke.

Yeah, you know?

I love this quiet.

Connection.

I love wood,

Sandstone, air,

Nobility,

You don't know.

There's this hill in Kentucky, centuries of endless golden grass waving nirvana like a happy sea, it slopes down to a million miles of valley and a cabin, maybe it's Daniel Boone,

If we go, do you got my back?

Ok, fun.

The Attraction Secret

2012-01-18T13:36:00.001-08:00

You already know what it is.

In fact, you're using it right now.

Can't put your finger on it? Funny, you've been a micro-hair away from mastering The Attraction Secret your entire life. In high school. In college. In the boardroom. In the bedroom. This morning at the coffee shop. She stared at you for like, three seconds. Which means? It means you know the Attraction Secret. But you keep ignoring it. Or you bail out. Know why? Of course you don't.

We're interesting animals aren't we? We know what we need. It's made available to us. At the moment of the truth, we don't trust The Attraction Secret. We're too short. Too old. Not rich enough. Not good looking enough.

Even though she's not thinking that...at all.

Oh yes she is.

Well, we know differently.

You exchange glances. You feel it. They feel it. And you're thinking, she's with him? And then...you fail to use The Attraction Secret.

If you owned a company like ours, wouldn't you hire bright beautiful women as a core asset in R & D? Makes for a fun working environment, right? Hired as consultants to ensure that we master The Attraction Secret. And when each of them, alone, in a group, told us the same thing over and over, we knew we were on to something big.

Women want us to use The Attraction Secret. To meet them. Be happy. Meet our soul mates. Be fulfilled.

In business too. That new prospect was about to sign on the dotted line. But you? You ignored The Attraction Secret. So they didn't sign. And you didn't get the contract. You had them! How'd they get away?

Let's stick to women right now.

If you know you don't know the secret you're missing, well, you're wrong.

You do know it. You just need us to remind you--and empower you!--in a big way.

You know The Attraction Secret.

Ready?

Partly Why I Love You

Words you hardly say and favors you rarely do make me love you most.

Comprehends aesthetically

Judges empathetically

An artist theoretically

You and I were sitting at a conference table with George and George Martin. George was rolling his eyes and you said to George Martin, but we're not getting any help. He said, you just have to keep on.

George #2

Last night was dark, I needed a friend and prayed what I could. George came again. This time he and I were just hanging out laying on the dirt floor of a tent. You showed up like last time and I beckoned you over pointing at George, like, look who's here. You saw George but had to finish washing a dog with a garden hose. Then you put your hands together and nodded at George, he nodded back and you walked over. There were other fav artists there but I couldn't make them out.

George #3

George was writing on my bedspread and I was pissed and told him to stop. He said, if I'm writing on your bedspread and you're angry, there's obviously a problem.

Hexagram 25

She walks for miles looking around hoping someone will see her,

When she sees someone not looking around, she totally wants to be her.

Bridge

2011-09-11T12:20:00.000-07:00

I tiptoed over to you,
You were laying there with your back turned,
So I tiptoed back and sat in your chair and tried your phone,
You went to the bathroom,
So I sat in your chair again,
Then I thought, I'll curl up with her and see what she does,
And I almost wrote something about us on your pillow with your sister's lipstick.
You came out of the bathroom, blinking at the ceiling,
Saying, "ok, alright,"
Then you laughed and whispered "thank you",
Then you said to me, "What?"
Out in the hallway I did hear you through the door say "Why'd you leave?"
I thought about knocking and coming back in,
It seemed like the right time for a bunch of reasons.
I walked home the long way via the 405 bridge at Culver and saw Harvey.
Member Harvey?
I slid down next to him under the bridge on the pavement,
I told him about us and he asked after you,
He told me a little more about how his beloved cat passed away,
He asked me why I left.
He said his Thunder's still alive, he just imagines they're together and they are.

What is Love?

2011-09-11T10:31:00.000-07:00

H: 900-Love.
S: Hi. I want to do it.

H: That's hot baby.
S: I have a belt tied around the railing of the loft.
H: OOOOO. Tell me more.

S: It's around my neck.
H: (?)

S: I'm sick of thinking about God and trying to understand God and praying to God.

H: Hold on...
S: It doesn't matter of I pray or if I don't pray.
H: Baby?
S: Aye.
H: You there sweetheart? I'm back..So, what if I came over?

S: Cute. Sure.

H: What's wrong?
S: Give me a reason to stick around.
H: I'm taking off my panties sweetie. Picture where my fingers are.
S: God's forsaken me.

H: How?

S: The life I dreamed of doesn't exist.

H: I'm real.
S: God's abandoned me.

H: In what way?

S: Do you know what love is?
H: But you're healthy, your not in prison or in the hospital.
S: Lost is worse.

H: What if you feel love for someone?

S: It's torture.

H: Why?

S: It's humiliating.

H: Not if you're soul mates.

S: Soul mates. If someone said you are their soul mate, what would you think of them?

H: You mean out of the blue?

S: Are they seeing something you can't see, or, seeing someone you're not?

H: Maybe they're right.
S: How much time do I have left?
H: My screen says 15 minutes.
S: Would you let them try to convince you?

H: Of being soul mates?

S: Could you fall in love with an ugly person?

H: If they're beautiful to me.

S: What if once their physical beauty is formed by their soul, their soul changes?

H: You mean if they turned bad?

S: What if the change started at like 5 years old.

H: When they went bad?
S: You mean like love is blind.
H: Were they bad to you?
S: When you get what Life truly is, Love over.
H: But you can fall back in.

S: Has God treated you badly?

H: No.
S: Really?
H: I've had some hard times.

S: I can leave a bad lover. I can leave a bad God.

H: Only you know why you called me.
S: But what if you are both needing a soul mate for only one part of your souls at the exact same time?

H: Which part?

S: The part that aches the most.

H: Can I get rid of the ache?

S: Then the love goes away.

H: Was it really love?

S: It was.
