Theatre Trapeze
Hand in hand, side by side, we sat
Under the ticking filtered sky
The flickering stars mesmerised us,
Only for a moment.
There under the purple twilight,
On the soft blue grass, we shared
Chicken and lamb.
You smiled and I blushed.
Your kiss and my kiss.
As the suspended stars went on strike mid-air,
We made our own show.
The sun came and rained on our parade,
But we went on into Act II anyway.
The audience smiled and applauded.
When the curtain rose for our finale,
We were trundling away, eyes fixated on houses.
Snails, millions of minutes and a collective plural later,
We climbed our ladders for our final

Devouring jaws, open wide.

Blank.
It lies pompously upon the desk
Wearing its margin like a badge of honour
Sticking its perfect little typeset number in the air
Look what the cat dragged in , it says airily
At the appearance of my teenage self.
And the growling interrogation begins.
Demanding answers.
Wanting.
Now.
Yesterday.
Damnit Johnson, youre fired!

Who. Are. You.

I shake my head, tight-lipped

No part marks on this one question paper,

Sugar
Upon the mirror dances her painted face
She grins at me, mechanically
But I love her all the same.
She used to be ugly to me,
A broken doll I was ashamed to be.
She wasnt right, didnt fit, was ugly.
Back then, her face brought hot tears
Singed with anger, laced with repulsion.
Now, my fingers touch her painted ones and
I tell her I know shes broken but
She grins at me, mechanically.
Something cracks inside and
I know shes hiding something
But what I do not know.
You look at me and grin too and
Youre all the same:
Brainwashed, blind, humouring me.
Can you not see the dark purple

Lost
A landscape out of this world,
Dotted with extra terrestrial life forms
And this one unsure girl
Without a ray gun.
Can you hear me, SOS?
The ABBA classic in monotone drones
Through the cockpit of her spaceship.
She doesnt know what shes looking for.
Seventeen years and shes still searching.
Ill know it when I see it, she said.
She thinks she might have lied.
They all think shes wonderful.
But inside, shes died.
They cuddle her and tell her not to worry
"Itll all be okay in the end, youll see"
Forty million miles away and shes not so sure.

Static on the line
Your voice is fuzzy but its you.
I giggle, I grin, I gush
Its you! Its you! I say
Youre nodding I can see it now.
All the way, over there
(pause)
Way, way over there.
Can you see me?
No you reply.
And we laugh.
Laugh at my stupidity.
Laugh at your witty jokes.
Laugh at time that eats away,
Those hours we spent together.
Leaving behind static on the line.
I dont know what happened
To me. To you. To us.
Something did.
Something horrible.
Something unimaginable.
Something beyond words.
You didnt laugh any more.
I didnt talk
Secretive smiles conjured plans
Feverish fingers held animated discussions
Excited eyes flitted back and forth
All in lovers speak you know.
Metallic chariots carried us
Between kingdoms of sombre reality and playful fantasy
To the very gates of the world we called our own
The entrance, a single patch of lawn.
Mouths were too occupied for words
Minds were emptied with all rational thought
Hands entangled in passions snares.
Our souls just helpless pawns.
A crescendo of skin upon skin, lips upon lips
Then in deafening silence, it began.
Slow and awkward at first.
Evolving louder, faster, harder.

The Oyster Has Been Opened
THEME: THE OPEN ROAD
Graduation cap in hand, procession been and gone, I sit there on the steps that Ive climbed a thousand times. I am free from the calls of the bells. I think to myself, What now? as I watch the old bus turn the corner of my street, I smile, Home.

The World We Called Our Own
In white they tumbled to and fro
Streaking across the pale blue realm
We watched them, you and I
From the world we called our own
In green and brown they slept
Curled softly nuzzled in a blanket
We laid there, you and I
On the world we called our own
In love we whispered silent things
That those around could only see
We stayed there, you and I
In the world we called our own
They could not comprehend
They could only look in
Through frosted panels of painted glass
Because shutters could not capture
Kisses could only measure
Hands could only hold
And nothing more was said

He turns to face the audience, and says in a companionable voice, Greetings. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am hmm.

LOULOUEM I line dance like nobody's business. My alter ego would be a librarian. I like my clothing matchy-matchy and my music at easy-listening volumes. My puns are dreadful but I like them. I collect picture books for the fun factor. I have a passionate romance with carbs and cake. My goal in life is to design and own a tiny house, travel the globe, find my dream job and live like a princess. I'm thinking theater. I am oddly attracted to retina-burning polyester. My favourite word is "ferocious" because it makes me laugh. I wish I could play piano and sing. I am fussy, tactless and convinced that fairytales do come true, eventually. Great at parties.
Current Residence: East Coast Favourite style of art: Emotive Art. Shell of choice: Sea-Shells Favourite cartoon character: Arthur
