A Week Alone with Me Day One: In Oakland “My mother has good taste in men,” you said. I noticed the Freudian slit in your dress that hiked up your leg, just beyond the fatty muscles of your inner thigh. You were wearing a red dress that left the townspeople covered in blood; it was almost more painful for us to watch you wear it out than it was for you to put on. “Let’s run away, dish,” you said. “Sure thing, spoon,” I said. I put my arms around your body and lifted you while spinning. We both
It was a warm humid night outside of my bedroom, there was a light drift traveling through the window. Midnight came around and I had no time to be tired, because it was 2pm in Iraq and my soldier had certain times when he would be able to talk to me.

With constant new miniature electronics and novel nano-materials, scientists are experimenting with radical new designs for
