I chose to perch on the head of the bed, slightly floating [S says that I\u2019m part fairy, because each of his loves are coalesced somehow into me, as though my heart were a Frankenstein of cloned-parts] toying with a wandering, lost, dictionary-cover with one toe, and eyeing with eye the Professor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He was slurring his words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI tried to work out why my words kept getting caught. But I never worked it out. I got frustrated by the sense that all my attempts at gathering data were resulting in damage to my capabilities. Argh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s how he was. Outrageous one moment, and a silent dove the next. It was as perplexing as it was precious to my heart and love for him. I could never praise him enough, not if all the world were to be aware of his glory for fact of the present moment\u2019s fad. {-give time for applause to die down-}<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The revolution burned without pause, never lacking for fuel, but he was sick of smoke. He said he was too accustomed to its presence, and that he\u2019d passed through levels and chambers of torments of unhumanly realms [where a fire is a common metaphor for an instrument of inflicting pain, as the route to absolutely unsolvable theodicy] enough for the smoke\u2019s and fire\u2019s chaotic dances to seem mundane.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWould it start a war if I said that Mohammed was a metaphor for helping us bridge, and thus come to terms with the AntiChrist nature of the (by definition) Christly messiah?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I could never tell why he felt like he could conduct his chemistry-kit tests in such a hazardously free-form manner, and always answered, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My tongue was always tied when he asked me a question. It was during those sparks of an interrogator\u2019s humanity that his eyes would catch my gaze, and I\u2019d become dumb, like before a supernova or garbage god smeared in shit and with sinews of putrifying meat-flesh, plastic and cans, slumbering, snoring in gusts of stink and miasma.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He\u2019d abandoned the relatively sweet (amidst a lifestyle that bred corrosion and hard lessons) girl in favour of a quadrangle of sunlight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Until abandoning her, and whilst I had been walking around his room trying to ignore him, he had been on his laptop, where he\u2019d been ignoring me in turn or trying to ignore my presence. It was not unusual for him to switch me off, and I knew I could only wait to be acknowledged again into his throne room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I was ignored, it felt like I mattered as much as a pebble (which was something he had said a number of times, anyway), and I wouldn\u2019t receive any consideration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After he left the short-haired pay-per-view e-lady, he gave me the first sign that my benevolence-rights had been restored, by informing and recommending a sunbeam he\u2019d \u201cdiscovered\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He explained that in a room that is warm, when one\u2019s hands (with fingers) are cold, a ray of light is more than expected. More even than a sunlit field. More even than a warm blanket. More even than the first day of each newly arrived season.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I now type but don\u2019t show him the words, and I reserve the right to change any of them:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI stand righteous, I am the vector which says, \u201cYou cannot preserve internal deities if outcast from their purified delineated,\u201d and I fight that god too. Because during these late-day incarnations, deep lessons become deeper. A hidden god is called a wicked angel, and thus a hidden redemption is called an apocypse. Peace be upon us *raise sword on tower*.\u201c<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He is lying &#8211; the record must note.

It was better passed masterbating, she knew, but he wore his crown emanating from his asshole, and this obstructed his genitalia due to accident or sabotage or neither, but certainly due to bad design.
