Scrivener's Pen Literary Journal, Inc. CURRENT ISSUESUBMITSUBSCRIBEDONATECONTACTSEARCH Volume 5, Issue 3 We Rose Up SlowlyJon GreshamThe watch my life phenomenon began with birds flying higher and things watch my life falling slower. Now the phenomenon is everywhere, and it has changed the way we touch each other. One evening, watch my life after you'd finished your ice cream, I came close to you and we took our clothes off. Socks floating around the room. I handled you roughly, as requested, leaving marks and bruises on your skin. Afterwards, you turned to me and said it was like being tickled by a giant slice of Spam. How unsatisfied you were, and it was my turn to giggle. So then you chased and spanked me with a tennis racquet leaving hatches and bumps on my buttocks like a pale Danish ice cream cone. Later, you turned to me and said, "Being bonked by you that day was like a mosquito attacking my nether regions."
