fodder

the pebbles you've arranged,
in the sand they're strange.
they speak to me like constellations,
as we lie here.

    Anthropology, by Dan Rhodes

    "Lipstick"

    The police caught my girlfriend stealing money from a blind beggar. She kept silent, but they tortured her until she admitted that she need it for lipstick. 'You have a job, ' they barked, 'You can afford lipstick.'

    'I can afford cheap lipstick, but it's horrible. It's soapy, and it never lasts.'

    Fortunately, one of her interrogators was a woman. 'She's right. A girl needs to feel confident about her cosmetics.' They gave her a caution. As they released her the female officer, overcome with pity, slipped something into my girlfriend's pocket. A stick of Lancome. Volcanique. It suits her very well.

    Gosh, I loved this satire shit!

    If I ever write a book, the style of it would definitely be similar to this guy's. Oh, and I can imagine it being made into an indie movie! A movie of a hundred short stories like this, starring John Cusack and Kirsten Dunst. They are good with weird stuff like this.

    And wth! I don't like Lancome! How can he glamourize it so much. Helllllllo?! M.AC.?
