KATRINA
LIVES A MILE
from the sea.
she is sallow as a beach.
she smells like rain,
or a wet earth,
with pale hair clipped
behind her head
with pins.
she feels as though her hair
would be black. but it is
brown, sometimes
and sometimes
it is colorless
blonde.
KATRINA
GIVES MY STOMACH
a fight.
she doesn't speak.
she is silence.
i speak at her, mostly
and her eyes
look as though
they've been plucked
from a lynx
to replace
her own.
they are blue around the edges
the deep blue you find
at the edge of the sea,
if you've been out that far.
at the center they are green
light like a riptide.
they tug you in.
unmoving, and calculating
with audacity.

Disposophobia
Disposophobia
She had always kept everything. Ticket stubs, receipts, the torn-off edges of notebook paper. Any doodles or scribbled ideas, and any note afforded her by a friend were kept and saved. Not everything received the honor, but particular things from specific events did. She wanted to keep track of each and every thing she had ever done. She did so, on a corkboard encircling her room from floor to ceiling; each day had its spot, and one could trace her life along the wall with the zigzagging strings of yarn that connected each day.
She didn't often invite others into her room, for fear they might displace something, either by

A Battle of Extremes
(MR. CYNICISM, MS. SINCERE, and DR. PASSION congregate for battle.)DR. PASSION
Where's all the booze, guys? Where's the music? I thought this was supposed to be a party.
MR. CYNICISM
This is a battle, not a party, good doctor. You may want to remove your lamp shade so you can be prepared to fight.
DR. PASSION
I didn't hear anything about no violence at this here get-together-battle-party-what-have-you.
MR. CYNICISM

If a corporation developed reliable teleportation technology tomorrow, how would it change the world?
Twelve years into the future, mankind manages to develop teleportation as a reliable transport technology for both goods and people. As usual, it doesn't think of the consequences. It can't. And as the technology unfolds, a new world develops; one where New York to Tokyo in 3.2 seconds means that you've been delayed. However, it's also one where millions are out of work because their jobs are now meaningless. It's one where national boundaries become very fuzzy things. It's one where the Internet becomes a superhighway, both literally and metaphorically.
