"Hanging Out"

To have and to hold so

the old story’s told,

Before they used to call it

just keeping company with

someone.  Now what used to turn into

marriatge is not part

of those vows anymore.

What used to be going steady

turned into shacking up

until someone was packing up

to meet someone else

for a sneaky rendezvous.

How can you be going out

when you don’t even drive a car?

Going together?

Where, to biology class?

One night stands were

fun little trysts until

one decided just friends

might be better, and that way

“we can have other flings”.

Hanging out is similar to

friends with benefits

which means you can do

the mattress dancing with

all of your so called

beneficial friends.

Agreeing philosophically

to call it completely platonic

that way intercourse

can just be called fu****g

with no love involved.

What all of it boils down to

is it doesn’t really matter

what you want to call it;

In the end, it’s all just called

sex.



Stephen King Tribute

It was the Storm of the Century

when DeLores Clairborne

played Gerald’s Game

while suffering Insomnia. 

The Tommyknockers

grew Thinner at Four Past Midnight

in Desperation when The Regulators

showed up for the Night Shift. 

Rose Madder and her sister,

Carrie looked through

The Eyes of the Dragon and while

traveling through The Wastelands

they met The Talisman who

told them of The Dark Half. 

Cujo led the way through The Pet Semetary

where Christine was in Maximum Overdrive

having Nightmares & Dreamscapes. 

Everything’s Eventual and Needful Things

will give you Misery unless you take The Stand

and work with The Skeleton Crew

while walking The Green Mile. 

Lisey’s Story was a big Bag of Bones left at

The Dark Tower until The Drawing of the Three

would Danse Macabre when
they reconciled at Salem’s Lot. 

The Gunslinger turned Different Seasons

into a Creepshow when he locked the Firestarter

in the Cell and Blaze took over the Dreamcatcher. 

Then The Shining Children of the Corn were left

 in The Dead Zone to die

by The Cycle of the Werewolf
