Wild: Booooook? Where'd your book segments go?
Due to the fact I will be publishing my story, I have taken off even the rough drafts of my Novel's concepts. Anybody who is interested (although I confess you are likely imagined) may comment on this post with contact information. I will be happy to send you a signed physical copy at that time. Thank you!

wild: gelatto boy
You were handsome, and your name was Tyras
and your smile promised mischief
as you made some wholesome jokes
and winked at me.
I answered your smile.
I waited.
and, while I knew you would not pursue me--you had a job to do--
your lingering gaze fulfilled my heart to my own promise.
I can still be beautiful,
even to handsome men like you
you of the african-american skin
and those eyes and that smile and laugh
and you were kind
you can find someone like me beautiful.
It would be nice
to be treasured more.

Wild: minimum wage
Because Logan asked me to stop tearing this other asshole to shreds, I'll just put this down here.
He didn't come up with any quantifiable solution to any of the problems I presented him. He only told me why none of my ideas would work, not that he had a better solution. That solves.... nothing. Does it make you feel better to tear other people down for trying to change things? I bet he votes for Donald Trump.
I also LOVED that his big argument against my difficulties is "well, don't get stuck, then." What a sweet and tender world you must live in, fuckhead, where you're always right. Where nothing goes wrong that you can't tell to fuck off. Starving to death? Tell yourself not to starve! Dying of Cancer? "Just" don't die! In an abusive relationship? "Just" make them stop! Have a stalker? Well, don't get a stalker, then!
Further, he just lumped all minimum workers together in one big group. Because *some* people in this pay group have issues, *all* of us must be useless, lazy scum. There's that "you're always right" world again....
Good god, just because you and your people have skills doesn't mean people like me, who don't have them/can't afford to learn them/etc, *don't deserve enough money to live off of*. If it's the economy that's the problem, fix the economy! "Just" fix the economy, fuckhead.
Try *that.*
