POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
f**k NBC/FOX/ABC TIME IS INSIDE OF YOU.
I am not this man outside of it all
The news on the TV tells me I am
Time is internal, and I'm just making it
worth my while, worth my rhyme.
It is easy to reject or accept a farce
When one has been made blind
Looking at the clock, watching the cars
seeing the stars, watching it all go by
"It's all a charade and I can't do shit!"
she says, while fairies burn away off
the crest of her lips and ash falls in her lap
She notices only her digression, her incendiary cough
And I notice her from across the way
I watch her...

Under
New wheels, she wants Chinese
Drift around the thrift store,
bought a big pipe, and two wooden geese
New teeth, she wants nice diamonds
Her smile, it has to be talent
She wants and she needs
but all the while, can't
she get what she wanted?
I'm gonna take you under
I'm gonna take you under
New wings, she talks Siamese
One ear, two silver keys
unlock the other
and kiss your feets
New tees, she takes two hits
of her cigarette heavily
drinks a cup of...

Am I boring you with titles?
This is my exoticism
I glow with light and rationality
I suck away your darkness
Breathe in your egocentrism
And spit it amongst the grass
It dies with your immenseness
Gluttony, lying on the couch
Laziness, looking to explore the freshness
Of your mouth
Tell me how can I get there?
Tell me how can I get there?
Listerine cleans your teeth
And the floss pulls out the scum
To smithereens, I will smother you
at a loss I am, in need of a new place
to hail from.
When you get there, you gotta tell me.

I am not what WAS, but what IS
For once, I was autonomous
And surely believed I was
A resonator so strong
Lost love in the reverb, I am anonymous
I am in the background
And surely believing I am
A Demon so small
Causing sensation in the foreground
I am a machine
And surely I am self-governing
A building so tall
Inhabiting the inside of me
For once, I was clear
A gem, but rough was my veneer
I had been made refined
Tragedy, life, a machine that grinds
I am life.
Inside of me I habitually agree
With what I have to disagree...

Sweet Bored
Well, I'm trying to sleep
But I gotta get and smoke a cigarette
Gotta take a shower and brush my teeth.
I just feel like a damn sheep
Gotta wake up, gotta wind up my spinnerets
Time to eat, time to grind, time to sleep
Again.
A little hard work ain't ever hurt nobody
I'm feeling a little heady, all the while knowing
That as I write this poem, it'll keep me going
Work and grind, Earth and my rebirth bestowing
A crown of the hedges
A vast past of collectives
Again.
Sweet boredom, take me home
Again.

In The Rough
I'm listening, but I've got to go
I can't be part of your check list
This is my blood. This is my unexplainable woe.
I'm breathing you in, but I'm swimming in confusion.
I can't be apart from you, I can't get you out of my head.
I don't even KNOW you. Subliminal messages and delusion
Screaming at me, seething until I am dead.
This is not something I can forever escape from.
I've put too much of myself into you.
I'm listening, but I've got to go

The Fire Sonata
Another shadow stepped through
Escaped beasts and monsters of all sizes
From the dark side of the moon.
It all goes back, deep, stricken with black
And beyond the past, shallow, a scorching back-draft
Within this cold dank room, I find color, I find respite.
Like the fires of a Sonata, the music enraptures
see her eyes, and hear her voice. there is no need to ever recapture.
Like the fires of a Sonata, no lies need mask her
She laughs like a blooming rose, and sees beauty in disaster.
Like the fires of a Sonata, tempo...

Sleepy Girl, Sleepy Sorrow.
I rip, weave and sew to make right to my sin.
I fucked it all up, cut myself up on the backspin.
Things are always scuffed and rough with this
Red tears drip from a needle, down to its point.
Knitting my veins, sewing together my joints.
Weaving, in and out, my thick resilient skin.
This abuse rips my soul from my body.
The drugs permeate deep, mind and body not making amends.
Shut off from everybody.
I can't take the pain sometimes, but always persevering.
Gravity chains me to this place, body so willing, steers me.

The War and the Envelope.
I'm feeling something fierce
But, Here I lay, motionless
My silent anger pushes me to tears
And I look down that hallway of that ward
I was just your passenger, double-edged sword
Screeching in my ears, bleeding from my eyes
I can feel you inside. A wind sweeping side-to-side.
A holy feeling, heart keeps beating
Faster peeling, my skin creeping.
You lied sweetly, in depth, mistreating
But hold me now, I have just awoke.
My song weeps for you, my heart, your blood has soaked
You lied dearly, treacherous

Pass the Baton
Tunnel Vision flow
Hits me so hard, hits me so slow
Gotta leave, gotta go
18 years of pestilence, indecision
Drilled into my head, I've done so little
A selfish, self seeking desire remains
Where will you be when you feel it?
I was in study hall at 18, 8th period
It was fleeting, but only for the next moment
To steal it.
I left my scabs in the cafeteria.
Everyone's tired, everybody's sick of this shit.
You can feel it in the air, inspid bacteria.
The girls in sun dresses, boys in what they feel is cool
High school is...

a Sweet Sun, a Sweet Mind
I always ask myself "Am I the last one?",
Sunken down, Souled out, vast void released
Swiftly fallen down, sweet ocean and the sun
Those searing streams of heat, found my peace
The party music next door, hits me on the floor
Briskly assembled drinks, alcohol on tap
Hoping for beauty, hoping I don't need any of that
They all get drunk, filling only one facet, always one more
But they're all okay, and I'm just trying to stay awake
Alcohol keeps me in a crypt of revival and tastes like survival
, but all in all, a sweet facade.

For you
I'd like to explain my doubt, my insecurity.
I am impatient inside, feigning obscurity.
For what seemed like the longest time,
I had a doll, a lovely subconscious mime.
I loved that feminine chew toy, beyond her wall.
Sitting in a hospital bed, hoping I was her's to call.
Our love was intrinsic, it seemed
Peaceful, gold-plated, metallic milk-weed.
A naive young boy. A feigning, sour girl.
Pretty little doll coiled me up. Vanilla Caramel Swirl.
I never knew what it meant to love, only to fear
Afraid my whole life, I took a...
