This Is Why The Singularity Will Never Happen

To the thing I never wanted (sorry for the Objectification)
Dear Y,
This morning I sat, coffee in hand, eagerly awaiting the new bland. Just then, as I contemplated the touch and smell of a new pen, I saw, through the very corner of my left eye, a brief flicker of the most spectacular red yellow shift. For a brief moment I was a drift, and not in my normal sea of loneliness, but instead an ocean of, let us say, happiness.
Was I in your tender arms again?
Was I lost in this embrace?
Turning face after face in an attempt to impress and transfer dress to mess.
What is this place?
This smell?
Is it heaven or is it Hell?
And just as it came it went leaving me with only the warmth of the cup in my hand and a meaningless longing to stand. I tried to place a meaning to derive a reason for this quick gleaming. None came to mind and soon mind came to none. The reciprocation of this vacation from thick thought.
What was clear is you were still a simple not. Lost long to time and if only your memory could be left behind, but I am tormented and fear I will soon be fermented by this consistent longing. The ice I have frozen is thin and I want to skate on.
Now please do not have any confusion, or develop the illusion that I would want you back. My dear it is just the opposite, in fact, I'd prefer you stay away. This flame burns bright and will soon burn out of sight and you may only get a wisp of black smoke.
Sincerely,
X

Dear Larry Flynt
Dear Mr. Flynt,I am writing concerning a letter of yours I recently saw on Huffington Post in which you offered the former Congressman Weiner a position with your company. I, however, have not heard Mr. Weiner's response and am concerned he will refuse such a generous offer. It is with this in mind that I would like to offer myself as a suitable, although less qualified replacement for the position.While I have not held office, I have spent the past months living in Washington DC and witnessing and occasionally enjoying the level of debauchery that happens here. I can assure you that while my resume is not yet as outstanding as Mr. Weiner's, I would make a suitable stand-in for these reasons:
- My moral high horse ran away during a thunderstorm and has never come back to the stable.
- I am willing to voice my opinions and have a brilliant shouting voice.
- Having been a long time advocate of exercise, I am not hard to look at.
- I am an advocate of freedom of speech, and the free expression of sexuality.
- I am willing to run for any office and place myself into the public realm.
- I am willing to continue taking compromising photos of myself and sending them to consenting adults.
- Having studied film/video production and theory in school I am quite capable of producing high quality and artsy sex tapes if the need arises.
I would offer my services for 20% less than what you have offered Mr. Weiner and am more than willing to relocate at the drop of a hat. I am also willing to change my last name to allow for sophomoric New York post headlines. I might add that I have a sufficiently inflated ego to make an excellent talking head.Furthermore, Mr. Flynt, I have a special relationship with the repulsive. I find it necessary to seek out that which I fear in order to grow. Life is short and we must embrace every part of it, especially what we do not understand.It is with this in mind that I present you my strongest quality: my love of hypocrisy. As a self-proclaimed artist, it is the very shackles of society that provide me with inspiration. I long to take the racism, sexism, and any other "ism" that stands in the way of progress and force people to take its hand and dance. In many ways I feel that I share the same mission as Paul Tillich: "...to bring faith to the faithless and doubt to the faithful."It is my opinion Mr. Flynt, that while Mr. Weiner is the obvious first choice for the position, I would be an excellent stand-in. I am young, handsome, and would be receptive to your tutelage.Thank you for taking the time to read my request and please contact me with the information provided below so that we can set up a time to discuss this matter in depth.Sincerely,
TL

Letter to the one who loved me even when I ran
Dear S,
Today I woke up to the sound of rain dropping hard onto the slick melted sand surface of the bathroom's skylight. I felt my lips slide across my white false teeth, bearing what I long ago would try so hard to hide. I sat in the dark my exposed flesh enjoying the machine generated faux wind. Thoughts poured from my mind and soon I felt liquid crawling across my once inflated cheek. Not a stream mind you but several rogue soldiers marching until they fade away.
I laid here for what seemed like an eternity attempting to wrap my mind around what it was that had caused this liquid to slide slowly from the corners of my blue eyes. Why did I have this feeling of uncontrolled happiness and serenity that is so powerful it has caused years of repressed emotion to seep freely? In truth I could not find an answer. I am not equipped to combat liquid soldiers, and frequently find myself succumbing to their tactics.
Later standing under the shower head it came to me. I was having a soft flashback of you. In the dripping rain I felt your arms wrapped tight around my heaving chest. I felt the safety we gave each other. I felt what I have always known and spent so much of my time running from. Love. A deep love that cannot really be expressed by the overly used term, but unfortunately my vocabulary has not provided me with a better way to express this.
The memories rushed over me like they were being carried by the water from the shower itself. The times we danced, the way we played and most importantly the times we just sat. It feels like years since I have felt you near me, and maybe it was this distance that allowed me to see what you meant to me. To be able to finally accept how much I needed you in my life. To finally return the loving embrace you had allowed me to run in and out of for all these years. I cannot lie I have been with others, but none have accepted me the way you do. None have loved me the way you have loved me.
In short my dear I am writing all of this to let you know I am coming home. After years of you waiting patiently with your open ended invitation I want you to know I am finally coming home. I only hope you will still see me the way I see you. I look forward to watching the rain in your arms and sipping coffee.
Love
T

Lettering for Cover
Dear Potential Employer:
I am writing to you regarding the position of Office Bitch advertised in the classifieds of the local newspaper. I have always admired the work your company has done in the field of capitalism. The company's penchant for making more and more money is an admirable asset given the bleakness of the current economy.
I have spent several years attaining an education rivaled by few. My work experience is richly meager; the importance of quality has always surpassed that of quantity. My crushing despondency has kept me company for the long lonely decades I've spent overeducating myself, and it is currently my greatest asset. It will serve the company well because you will not need to break in my pride and naiveté.
You may reach me at the bottom of my pit of despair during the weekdays, and please hit me up on my cell on the weekends in case you want to partaaaaay. Oh, and did I mention my liver? Oh man, my liver. That thing has been a life-saver in college. Literally.
Humbly yours,
Hopeful Potential Employee

Kitten and Tuna
Hello my Puuuuurrrrrrfect Kitty and of course my smelly tuna fish,
I was listening to morning sports talk radio while rubbing soap on my firm flesh when all the sudden a voice rang throughout the bathroom and brought back so many memories. Flashback initiated, the feeling of alcohol's tantalizing clutch on my stability sent me spiraling around the room donning only a hand towel to cover my overused genitalia. I spun and I spun until the room seemed to move without me at which point I slid to the ground. From my new seat I sat with tears in the icy blue orbs that have provided me with the fevered ego we all love. My genitals half erect and my legs running away from each other, an angel sang to me. All of my cynicism and denial had been lifted from my shoulders. Atlas was finally able to stand tall and proud for the world had floated away. If I could have picked a time to die it would have been here, in my euphoric and post-ejaculatory glee... So Kitty and Tuna what brought me to this point. What left me on the cold bathroom tiles covered in what could have been children, legs limp and eyes dilated?
Well Kitty and Tuna here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=tHNF9Amv5iI
Well Kitty and Tuna here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
I believe it is painfully obvious why I had to send this to both of you. Kitty I feel this is also proof that it is a genetic trait of Der Deutches Volk.
Love
XOXOXO

Morse Code Love Letter
Dearie me, oh dear oh dear.
What have we here?
Swishing lightly around the
room,
treading
on the heartstrings of my hamstrings,
her every sashay clumsily slashes
at
my
eyes
with flashes of brilliance.
Distilling her twill into the tweed pattern of my need,
her casual cashmere merely cashes in on the
soft
steps
of my soft shoe
mirroring hers with a grace that can only exist in Hollywood.
My stomach lurches for every graceful dip,
her feet stomp out a mating call that I
just
cannot
ignore.
