AUTHOR.CALHO: If I didn't write it, I would be hitch hiking cross country to Maine and then Alaska in that order. While taking frequent breaks to spread leaflets. And sit in diners. And write on things because I wasn't at a computer. I may still do that in a few years. Writing this also helps me forget about and better understand the limitations of being human, and keeps me busy enough to allow me no free time to burn the world down.

THEMATIC.ABOUT : Collapse often. The things that hold people together and hold them apart and scatter brains. The things that make thoughts go boom. The things that ooh and aah and [expletive deleted]. Sometimes poking around the margins where responsibility ends and the only one to look to is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and say "but, I already pressed 9 for more options and the menus are exactly the same. Can you just replace it?" The answer will be: "please hold." Sometimes hanging out in dark corners. Sometimes following the train tracks. Looking for ways out and ways in and all the while sharing the things seen and heard and done and drawn and written and scorched and healed and teased and caged and dreamed along the way.

Dear (_____)

Dear work,

It's been a blast spending so much time with you, but I must admit I miss spending more time at home.  You've turned me into the bread winner and the dissatisfied spouse rolled into one when I get home too tired to masturbate.  "Are you feeling frisky tonight?"  First of all: no.  Second of all: some of us have to work for a living and I'd appreciate it if you cleaned up around here while I'm out, if it's not too much to ask.  Thirdly: I have to go back to work in the morning so I don't feel like tiring myself out further trying to have an orgasm for an hour while you shove toys inside me because you can't do it yourself.  "Alright, jeez.  Sorry I asked.  Good-@#$%-ing-nite."  You keep me busy, which is great, but I'm looking forward to seeing other people.  If you're offended, be so and it is personal and I don't expect and I will not ask you to be understanding.  If we were married it'd be a different story, but we're not.  I don't want to end our friendship.  I believe we will need to change how we spend our time to keep our friendship going.

sincerely,

xoxo
