how doth the little crocodile
improve his shining tail
and pour the waters of the nile
on every golden scale

My name is Demetrius. You can call me Dmitri.

I can smell the blood on you.

THE CHARIOT

(Finally starting to work on his new story...)

I have become a monster.

Perhaps that monster was always inside me, lying dormant, awaiting the perfect opportunity to bare its teeth, but it is undeniable now that I am not human. I speak not only of my physical state, but the painful brutality that lies beneath.

We were happy, once. Our mothers were old friends from England. They raised us together, their two little boys, wanting us to become fast friends just like them. We played together, laughed together, got into trouble together; everything two little boys should do.

The trouble began when we hit puberty. We went in two different directions. He never outgrew his infantile obsession with fantasy life, and became clingy. He wanted to be my shadow. I became distant. I wanted my independence. I wanted the attention of girls, and he only got in the way. When I ignored him, he became upset – livid. He wanted my dedication. It has never been something I've been able to give him.

how cheerfully he seems to grin
how neatly spread his claws
and welcomes little fishes in
with gently smiling jaws

VII. CHARIOT
The Chariot is a symbol for the armor we build up when moving forward. Be careful, for if you let your guard down, one may not be able to tell you and your armor apart.
