Pep talk with Father
One
Good morning. Resilience and patience. I arrived home. Sia got the small room.
cleaned the house all over in the kitchen worms from leftovers
Tonight the kids are coming I bought a mattress for the little –sleep
I am not feeling well. Rebound
In Athens I feel better with chicken pox
Next week two weeks on pills to catch me up.
Don’t worry. Your worries feed happy clouds he gave me 1000 euros.
Sia is a good housekeeper. Quiet child.
Be happy with new blue-s dress
Good morning. wanna hear my news
Where will you spend Christmas?
We will go to Morocco. God knows. Hugs& kisses

Susan is beautiful, beautiful enough for me
Lubul budul my head skipped a bit today
two days after Susan’s visit her
fewer bits the merrier Christmas at shopping malls car parks
a sedimentation of bags and collections in them I trust
I am tired I will visit professor Gementzi 74 years’ old
Would it help if I lived in Athens?
It’s hard. I can’t go to the gym
Fuzzy head can’t collect me
The pills began to work and I am locked in the coldest bathroom
We will not go to Athens. Susan fell and broke her knee
My mouth is dry I can’t sleep the pills have side effects
How will I make it on my own? Good question. he gave me a pair of trousers
Take care of Susan.
Three
I arrived at the airport How are you?
My migraines are unbearable Delay/ traffic my flight is at 8pm
I didn’t get to see you with the other woman you left when
I saw a poster on an Athenian café about Sankara and his illusion show.
Migraines are the legacy of witches,
garbage bags of unfulfilled traffic.
I want to witness Sankara’s magic — he might possess the insides of Joan Crawford’s deranged daughter who kills her mother’s lovers.
I hope he cures migraines.

Tattoo artists are the best forgers
What’s your plans now? It’s late my throat is quietly tuning with my bowl
Daddy wants a new car a nice car double sided
One cut of the dead and I feel hardwired to plan inks
He says nothing
He’s just a figment of people’s imaginations
God replace the old BMW
When we met, you were pretty and I lonely
God save ink forgers (A lot of God in here).

Thank you for confirming which life session you attended.
We note that you submitted a pay claim form for a total of 5 hours.
Why? What’s bothering you? Calm down. Don’t pressure yourself. Enjoy life.
As you only attended 5 of the 7 training hours provided by us,
you need to show love.
Life is beautiful. If you find a job you really enjoy, you’ll feel better.
As you only attended 2 of the 5 training hours provided by Father,
you need to stop thinking too much.
We will therefore not be approving the additional 5 hours.
Start yoga and meditation to live in the now.

Descending into mad, watching the “Shining” on Netflix, “you are nothing but a fraud” Diana Manesi began writing and recording diaries when she was 11. She stopped once she reached adulthood and went into academia. For many years she engaged with feminist theory, social anthropology, and cultural studies. In the last years, she began experimenting with poetic form and playful prose. In 2017 she published her first poetry collection in Greek, entitled “One and whole: One bite” by Queer Ink Publications. Recently she began writing in English. She currently resides in London and whenever she can she travels and attends poetry workshops.
Decaying replica of Socrates unwritten words
The shinning of snow in a full-packed auditorium with neo-soul sounds
  &   &from New Orleans
copy-paste my mind needs citalopram placebo effects
smoking gives a boost   & smoking gives a boost
in the mist of a saddening day smoking gives a boost &to Mona-Lisa and back
“you are a fraud”, you hear me!
I am doing my best it’s not enough
I am really trying not to desert her
Russian dolls pop one after the other
snails suck my gastric fluids and let go of my fingers
godfather died and with him the golden necklace of the Russian doll
Bless her, she was a good girl.
