I face a tapestry made of my own cinder blocks  and sand squares made from headless torsos. I cast a long needle-thin thread afar to fish for unheard compliments with rough edges to sharpen my claws. I need to fish silently, discreet, for God forbid He hears the gospel oozing out of my trustworthy confidants. Damn. I think I need another one of those mood-boosting, booty-busting rides across the Atlantic sunset. It looks like I took the wrong ticket. The circus ran out of clowns when it sold out  of frozen strawberry soft serve. I fell into a frenzy of vanilla swirls that made my mouth pucker. Rocky road is a tasty trea...
