Lost and Found - Love

You Cast a Spell on Me

The day before you left. Then you left. And I'm still a frog. Please come back and renew my manhood before I get hit by a car.

I saw You

At a yard sale last May. We exchanged glances over an abstract water-color in a gold and black frame that once hung in a finished basement. Please come back and be mine forever.
How Could I Let You Go?
I've been heartbroken ever since you caught me with your cousin. How could I be so foolish? Please come back and I'll never get caught again.
Time Stopped
It seems. Now I hear you're out of your coma. I miss you so much (now that you can move).
Small Beige Girl
Seeks smooth brown man. I don't care who you are, as long as you're smooth and brown, and within eyesight at all times. I just know we'd be true loves. That's why I put an ad here.
Remember Me?
At the Sting concert. You were on stage singing. I was in row 12, seat 2. During Tea in the Sahara you looked my way. Is it love? Let's find out.
Tea And Crumpets
Vinnie Saracuzzo seeks a classy, sophisticated dame to walk around wit me. A real society type, you know? They told me not to use my real name but fuck it, I'm Vinnie Saracuzzo! Eh!
All American Girl
Jennifer, remember me? We met at the University of Georgia football game! Me, thin, white polo, red tie, khaki pants, baseball cap, old running shoes. I had a beer in my hand. You, tight black dress, silver necklace, straight, dark-brown hair. Or maybe it was blonde.


Tales From the Floor


Ever wonder what a floor would say if it could talk? Well, ours does (and it's a "she," not an "it." Sorry.)
