Amande et Lisle

She slings them onto the floor and fag in mouth starts to rummage in her bag. She immediately encounters Amandes newspaper which she must have absentmindedly picked up in the studio. The newspaper is folded back to reveal a half complete crossword. "This she thinks. would be the lamest of all lame excuses But nevertheless she allows herself to daydream. She would phone him casually. " I picked up your newspaper by mistake and noticed you hadn't completed the crossword she would casually muse "I thought you might have liked to complete it, and since it takes so little effort to make a phone call, but if it doesn't matter I'll throw it out, by the way how did you think the shoot went? Lame lame lame! Pathetically lame! Two brandies later and a few rehearsals, she picks up the phone.

Those girls like electrical currents

A wierd sort of half poem. Sort of a monologue to a jealous girlfriend from a cruel boyfriend. hard to tell which one is worse. 'What do they mean to you - those girls like electrical currents?' I had to take you away to the other side of the bar, to hold your hand when I didn't want to because you were too much,
