This is the last thing I'll ever write for you. I'm sick of you being a muse. I hate the word in connection to you, as if you were worthy of all the ink spilled in your name. Even as I write this, I know you'd be enamored of that line. "Ink spilled like blood," you would marvel. I can hear your voice right now, you coward. You clod. You fucking POET.
I gave Cara a bit of advice yesterday: "Never trust a writer. Moreover, never trust a poet." Her eyes flickered like candles at an altar, and she looked at me as though I were immaculate, as though I were the virgin. But I am a joke, and the irony was not lost upon either of us. I fancy myself a "writer," after all. But I was on my fifth glass of wine and argued with impunity. "They are too free with their words. They give them away, and then want them back later. They say things in the moment, and by God... at the time they mean it. He had power over you because of that, Cara." I said her name. It was the period to my sentence and proof that I spoke to her, and not myself.
So this is my last message: fuck you. I could find a poetic way to say it, but not other words quite capture that sentiment. So sit in your corner and keep on raging.
Against the machine.
Against the dying of the light.
Against whatever the fuck you rage against.
Remember that you are a nothing, and not even a significant nothing. Because "nothing" can be made into something: an idea, a philosophy. People try to wrap their heads around the concept and it confounds them. You confound no one. You are a bag of skin, holding organs and cells, hoarding life in that sack like stale bread. Moldy and useless.
Bread can't eat itself you rotten son of a bitch.

I haven't read "Anansi Boys," so no. It's actually based on the African, Ashanti myth. Which, I suppose, is where Gaiman got the name.

Are you named after the Neil Gaiman character?

Hey, man, thanks for reading my story and offering some good criticism. I know the ending was all suicidy, but I actually planned on more to happen to him before he got home, I just never wrote it. Maybe someday I will.

Godchicken: You should post some of the stuff you write (maybe not the really personal stuff). This site needs it.
Shlongy: Why would anyone want to cover it with chocolate?
No one in particular: Owning a lot of books is only good if you're not moving. And owning fragile, thin-glassed shot glasses is always stupid.
Later people, I've got to get some packing done before I go out tonight.

I only offer once.
I had the same sort of thing going, which is why I have not written much in a long time. I finally wrote it out as an entry somewhere I keep hidden, and feel good to be done with it, too.

Godchicken:
This bullshit ended a while back, but I still found myself writing about this person occasionally, and it hit me, "why the fuck do I still write about this asswipe?" So I decided to write this last bit and be done.
So, technically, I don't really NEED chocolate, since it's been a while. But hey, if you're offering...

Words are the coin of poets and writers.
No wonder there are so many starving artists in the world.

That's the theme I guess. Words mean absolute shit to me.
============================
Sorry it's come to that.
Would this be an appropriate time to offer to send you chocolates, and actually follow through?

One of the things that kept me coming back to this site was I had yet to encounter the expression "I heart".

There's too much aggresion, and not nearly enough self-loathing to be emo.
