J.J. CAMPBELL Uncomfortable Pause i look at all these scars on my hands and think of them as souvenirs of course some smart ass could look at them and ask if i was scared to go for the wrist and i would laugh and after an uncomfortable pause or two i'd look that smart ass directly in the eyes and say there's still time junkies of death fading screams lost in the shallow flickers of light creeping through a thick fog we were great at this this being whatever you need this to be frustration mounts the words don't seem to fit broken glass ripped up pages broken egos scattered on an old dusty floor sweep them up with the rest of the filth trash will be picked up tomorrow the rightful resting place for all of us us being this collective mass of bullshit artists, con men, junkies of death hoping to escape the consequences of time J.J. Campbell (b. 1976) lives, writes but mostly dies a little each day on an 80 acre farm in Brookville, Ohio. He's been widely published in the small press, most recently at Zygote in My Coffee, Chiron Review, Horror Sleaze and Trash, ZYX and Poiesis. His most recent chapbook, Suicide Porn, was published by Interior Noise Press. You can contact J.J. at jcampb4593@aol.com or his homepage: http://sites.google.com/site/losersincsite/ |
