While you are singing, O Muse, sing also of the rage of those thoughtful, sentient, serious but not-so-close-to-human beings out there dreaming under the ice of Europa, dying in the sulfur ash of Io, and being born in the cold folds of Ganymede. Oh, and sing of me, O Muse, poor born-against-his-will Hockenberry, dead Thomas Hockenberry, Ph.D., Hockenbush to his friends, to friends long since turned to dust on a world long since left behind. Sing of my rage, yes, of my rage, O Muse, small and insignificant though that rage might be when measured against the anger of the immortal gods, or when compared to the wrath of the god-killer Achilles. On second though, O Muse, sing nothing of me. I know you. I have been bound and servant to you, O Muse, you incomparable bitch. And I do not trust you, O Muse. Not one little bit.”",

For these moral humans, birthdays are a kind of countdown to the end, the ticking clock of a dwindling life. For me, birthdays are notches on an infinite timeline. Will I grow tired of parties one day? Will my birthday become meaningless? I imagine myself centuries from now, maybe at my three-hundredth birthday, looking all the way back to my seventeenth. How will I possibly be happy, remembering the light in my mother's eyes? The swiftness of Uncle Antonio's steps as he dances? The way my father stands on edge of the courtyard, smiling in that vague, absent way of his? The scene shifts and blues in my imagination. As if brushed away by some invisible broom, these people whom I've known my entire life disappear. The courtyard is empty, bare, covered in decaying leaves. I imagine Little Cam deserted, with everyone dead and gone and only me left in the shadows. Forever.”",

Different people, different days. It won't change. It wasn't a suicide attempt, it was an escape from everything awful. When we cut, we're in control- we make our own pain and we can stop it whenever we want. Physical pain relieves mental anguish. For a brief moment, the pain of cutting is the only thing in the cutter's mind, and when that stops and the other comes back, it is weaker. Drugs do that too, and sex, but not like cutting. Nothing is like cutting. The cracks in the concrete remind that no matter how srong you are, you will always fall apart. My life is so full of old scars that there's no room for a new wound. How will you know if I'm hurting if you cannot see my pain? To wear it on my body tells what words cannot explain. Have you ever had that feeling? That itch just below the skin that only a razor could scratch? Sometimes I sit and watch the ink leak from my pen. It comforts me to know something else bleeds the way I do. Sometimes I wonder if it's really worth while. If I should keep going on, faking all these smiles. In that one instance I hated everyone in my life, everyone and everything, and me most of all. I just want to be happy again but I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore. It is the strong who survive and the weak who will simply fade. If I tell them I need help, my weakness will be displayed. You never know when you wake up, if all will be the same, or if you'll be back in your dark place, again to feel the pain. I cut to prove to you that you are not the only one that can hurt me. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. There is only one rain cloud in the sky...and it's raining on me. Somehow I'm not surprised. It's not supposed to be like this. Can this be all there is? You dream bigger, you fall harder. Think of things that should've never happened. You think of all the things that never will. All my life, Ive welcomed pain. Ive made up more excuses to bring it back again. Now Im here and Ill drink to the shame. Ill drink to the madness that made me this way. I'd show a smile but Im too weak. I'd share with you could I only speak. Just how much this hurts me. Do you ever smile and find it shameful 'cause you don't know who you are? Sometimes, it's the things that don't hurt at all that make you cry. In reality, I'm slowly losing my mind. Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside. Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly. Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering. So I wear my disguise til I go home at night and turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry. The sky isn't always blue. The sun doesn't always shine. So it's okay to fall apart sometimes. I bleed for you, that's why I cut. These simple scars are just deep thoughts. You do it to yourself...and that's why it really hurts. Behind this inoccent smile of mine, lay words left unsaid. Words of longing, love,anger, and hate, all repeating inside my head. The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed. Every minute is a mile. I've never felt so hallow. I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles. They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to Hell. See these scars on me? I'm just marking territory. Die young and save yourself. It takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has. But, lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all. Happiness is not a fish that you can catch. This is where I say I've had enough. No one should ever feel the way that I feel now. You can lock your doors and windows to keep the pain at bay. Yesterday may be dead and gone, but the past won't go away. It's waiting right around every corner with a heartache you don't need. Self-injury is a sign of distress not madness. We should be congratulated on having found a way of surviving. I cant stop thinking about cutting myself up. Visual bruises can be covered with make-up. But down to the core, Im all bruises. You can't see that I'm hurting. You're too blind to notice my pain. It feels like everyone is sitting in the sunshine, while I'm drowning in the rain. I certainly didnt tell anyone; I didnt advertise that I was doing this, but I didnt necessarily also make sure no one could see that I was injured. In fact, I felt proud of it; I felt good about it. It was like a battle scar: [it] proved [that I had been] grievously wounded and survived. [When I hid my scars, I did so because] I didnt want anyone to think I was a basket case or a mental case and to look down on me or to pity me or to stop hanging out with meleave me because they couldnt handle me¦ I was trying to get",

Leave him in the mysterious and romantic flicker of the gas lamp. He won’t stand next to this, do you see? The glare would melt him away. He was more the man of our time than Oscar was. Or than we were. Leave him where he belongs, in the last days of our bygone century. Because in a hundred years, no one will care about me. Or you. Or Oscar.

This was Argos, whom Odysseus had bred before setting out for Troy, but he had never had any enjoyment from him. In the old days he used to be taken out by the young men when they went hunting wild goats, or deer, or hares, but now that his master was gone he was lying neglected on the heaps of mule and cow dung that lay in front of the stable doors till the men should come and draw it away to manure the great close; and he was full of fleas. As soon as he saw Odysseus standing there, he dropped his ears and wagged his tail, but he could not get close up to his master. When Odysseus saw the dog on the other side of the yard, dashed a tear from his eyes without Eumaeus seeing it, and said: 'Eumaeus, what a noble hound that is over yonder on the manure heap: his build is splendid; is he as fine a fellow as he looks, or is he only one of those dogs that come begging about a table, and are kept merely for show?' 'This dog,' answered Eumaeus, 'belonged to him who has died in a far country. If he were what he was when Odysseus left for Troy, he would soon show you what he could do. There was not a wild beast in the forest that could get away from him when he was once on its tracks. But now he has fallen on evil times, for his master is dead and gone, and the women take no care of him. Servants never do their work when their master's hand is no longer over them, for Zeus takes half the goodness out of a man when he makes a slave of him.' So saying he entered the well-built mansion, and made straight for the riotous pretenders in the hall. But Argos passed into the darkness of death, now that he had fulfilled his destiny of faith and seen his master once more after twenty years…”",
