EMILY RAMSER: Her Meal Was a Camel and Cappucino

Odd, Submissions, , ,

On our first date, she told me cigarettes and coffee are the best way to cure any case of constipation. I couldn’t help but notice her teeth were caffeine-stained and specks of ash clung to her lips.

Halfway through dinner, she went to the restroom.

She never came back.

Emily Ramser currently attends Salem College in pursuit of a degree in Creative Writing. Lately, she seems to do more writing than classwork, though. Check out her stuff at chickadeesweetie.wordpress.com or on Twitter, @ChickadeePoems.

EMILY RAMSER: Awkward Love

Amusing, Submissions, Touching, , , ,

Our love story was awkward.

We were a nerd’s fantasy or a geek’s real-life-RPG.

But the way our fingers brushed on the calculator had more electricity than Bella and her vampire boy, and the tears we cried when Dumbledore died were saltier than Romeo’s.

We weren’t fiction. We were real.

Emily Ramser grew up in the Sacramento’s gay district, or at least experienced puberty there, but later moved to the southern Bible belt to finish out high school. Rather than average society, she prefers to surround herself with furries, Baptist students and high school dropouts. Tweet her @ChickadeePoems.
