The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Dreaming 

At night

I do my best

to banish you from

my thoughts

I can't face you

coldly

as you wish

in the day

when I let my fantasy

run loose

through your hair

and around your limbs

at night

but still

when the nights are hot

and my bed is close

the sheets tangled

around my feet

no breeze blowing

the dreams come

to me

in my sleep

against my will

but not

against my wish

and you are there

your warm breath

like a warm breeze

on my throat

and your long arms

so much stronger than their size

wrap around me

making me weak

and breathless

with longing
