Emergency Salvage
Thanks to the monstrous and draconian laws instituted by Vladimir Putin on Livejournal, where my poetry blog has been I have had to conduct an emergency salvage in xml only of my poetry here. The original blog, with formating and context is here. While it lasts.
Until it is destroyed (since I will now be upping my criticism of putin and the Russian Kleptocrqacy) you can see it here.

Looking Like That Actor Who Played Satan Has Its Perks
So like, the other day, people stopped me on the street and said, "Excuse me, may I sell my soul to you?"
"....What?"
"Well, I've felt that my life has very little meaning, so I would like to improve it by placing a second mortgage on my soul."
"....OK?"
"So that's a yes?"
"Sure."
"Wonderful! I'd like a pony."
"An actual pony?"
"Yes please."
"Alright."
"Really?"
I nod, "Sure." There is a pause, "But you do know I have to make it look coincidental right? Don't want God to get suspicious or anything."
"Oh sure."
"It'll come. In the mean time, enjoy the fringe benefits."
"Fringe benefits?"
"Oh you know, better food, better air, better sex."
"Really?"
"Oh yes. Absolutely."
"Wow, thanks Satan."
"No problem."

[Script] Hot Tin Lizzie Goes Up and Out - Page 3
Scene: Lizzie takes the cat in her hands and walks into an abandon compound, filled with half repaired or broken machines and cars.
Scene: Lizzie walks up to a house in the middle of the compound, opening the screen door and trying to be as quiet as she can. She looks around carefully, and then slowly closes it behind her.
Scene: She enters through the kitchen and turns right down a hall full of pictures of the family smiling, several generations including several people in modern clothing though most of the recent ones show people in more and more stark clothing.
Scene: She comes into a room with her father who is snoring and sitting in a chair with TV shows from the 1950's playing in the background.
Lizzie: Dad?
(beat)
Lizzie: (Louder) DAD?

[Script] Hot Tin Lizzie Goes Up and Out - Page 2
Scene: Lizzie slowly works her way out of the cables and large vats of chemicals. The voice over stops as she leaves the garage which is very cleverly concealed among the timbers and aluminum siding.
Scene: Lizzie walks through a very desolated town, almost empty. A few people look around, many of the men are missing limbs and all the women are frightened in one way or another, all of them.
Scene: Lizzie stops and finds a small kitten making mewling sounds. At first she ignores it, everyone else is. She walks past.
Scene: Lizzie turns around a corner and then stops.
Lizzie: Shit.
Scene: Lizzie turns back around and looks it over for a few moments and then picks it up as she resumes her walk home.

The Candy King Can
I have already mentioned that what happens in Earth is reflected in Terra. So much so, that to fight President Polyester, EP Blingermeyer has begun to recruit some individuals to go to Earth to deal with President Tinkle...simply to help us. (Terra is kind of incredulous that Earth could vote for something like that without the Toxic Waste dumps used by Polyester, and TC's jokes about Meth aside, these people just....wow.) But there are other ways that it manifests.
One of them is the Candy King, once absconded to Outer Fairy and changed in all kinds of interesting ways, given knowledge and secrets about how to make sugar and confections that defied imagining. He rescued a tribe of Orange Dwarves from a hidden island in the North Sea and had them build a most magical Factory. He's known throughout the world and at one point opened his reclusive compound to a select group of seven children. Those that weren't eaten were given a life time supply...you get the idea.
What's fascinating is how much Emmit has begun looking at this story lately. I think he's planning on some kind of poem like he did with Odysseus and Fenris. Lovely subject matter but the Candy King is not quite as...whimsical as his Terran counter part. I'm not sure people will appreciate all the blood and a graphic description of what really happened to those children that failed the test.
