bleed the intersection
into shards
the monarch sends his
happiness handshake
into my hallway
the wallpaper bleeds
disfigured flowers
im coming up sad and empty
gross and tangled
they want our water and
our time
we are a family in fear
the nasty moors men
fondle my dress, they
do not impress.

im coming up empty and
quite sad, because
what have i had?

you bleed the intersection
into my shards
some backlit refrain
takes control of my brain
makes liberties for my morsel
i am tumbling all so
royally onto yr
carpet red
i am fed off of the guilt
of the decades that lie
before me.
you abhor me.

i adore being sacrificed
because god eats me then
god eats me when you
present me to him
in such a way.

i am delicious
i will not lie
and you will not know
just how so.

i am bled into the intersection
my schedule is chock full
i am checking off some calendar
oh, so many cars
drive over me
because i am
concrete
i watch taxi driver
in the evening
a modern day travis bickle
without the artillery
thats me

then god eats me
eat my face
i am just so
out of place
i do not run
in your race
do not exist
in your space.

they bloom the full plumage
into a rusty room
rose sheets envelope
the entrance
a tidal wave
we are enslaved
ruddy cheeked youngsters
new to war
but we will learn
they make our muscles strong
fed on milk, warm
from the cow
but how? and when?
in what century have they divided us?

a christmas cottage ties us up
as jesus trickles down our spine
some monarch montage
in our grasp
we are taught other things
other things to occupy
other places to reside
caught up so fully in the tide
no laugh or snicker for the sad
people we come from
the tragic lives we know so well.

they bleach the walls of the cell
we stand at full attention
honor thy mother
daddy is a razor blade in the dusk
i am a harbinger of some
past place
piecing together the puzzle palace
wind in my hair from the
rubbled madness
the group stands together
for an assault

oh just rest your mad hopes
on the dash
ill give you cash instead
ill give you ropes to tie
your ribbons free

in the morning another sneak
peak at the riddle comes in
slipped under the door
and we all rush rush rush
to have a look see
“well, what will we have?”
i am not here for this scene
i am a ghost sprouting
from a rafter someplace
high up up up

spurting spoken word
from some other
century.

you will not remember me.

they crack your skull
and pour it in
an allusion,
illusional,
elusive
she cracks some sad whip
the poor muck rucks come
raking out
the leaves are brown
the wind near the river
is exceptional
whipping about
grassy potted plants play piano
from underneath, with the upper-concrete
i havent even smoked weed
i just describe what i see
from a train in the rain
boys enter, its three o’clock
they reek of pungent vinegar
it best describes their sour acne
i am sickened and can’t breathe

and my mother’s fear of my being hurt
stops my search before it begins
she prevents those hecklers by
keeping me jarred
but i am AJAR and cute boys keep
asking me out on dates
but MALE BOAR ODOR is NOT
what i want in a mate.

the loose train has fifteen tracks
i am on all of them
like an octopus
doing fantastic disco renditions
of gin blossoms songs

people in general have no idea
what anything means
this is a dream
if i had the money id buy a new notebook
id parade around a shocked look
an evil grin
a kind expression, to manifest some
type of impression

i am not here
but in another place
i only let certain people visit
no one knocks down my door
anyhow
the brown cow
moo’s off my face
i eat him anyway
and watch some shit off netflix
just because: fuck it
rev gave me her password.

(AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE
the next day i fucked the whole
netflix thingy up from watching too much
30 rock or something).

some laugh track
in the background
imbues

the starving ghosts
are an emblem
within which
the masculine witch
resides

a high tide surfaces
as seemingly happy families
knock each other over
to make way

well, I SAY

this crude nightmare hardly begins
and its filled with
neverending, full-faced grins
technicolor spins
my laces are untied
when im stoned im uncomfortable
you cant look me in the eye
i cant look you in the face

where are we?
what is this place?

well, I SAY
i wont be much longer

with each deep inhalation
im figuring out
how to figure things out
my brain is in some deep recession
i eat meals like harrison ford in blade runner
every night for dinner

i type into a box to communicate thought

my alchemy eyes have given up the potion
mixed in a chemical seal
i have revealed an emotional layer
boys on the other hand are natural players
i wear my heart on my sleeve

i get up and leave
fastidiously out the door
comfortable with exits.

this area pours onto me
the street is my example
shrouds circle emphatic figures
mimicking dance routines
lamped by an urban glow
i flow like this
windowed
turbines are cemented fixtures
with surrounding trees scant
between old, forgotton railways
where the homeless lay
the people make a fast dash past
shuttling harmlessly
they have jobs, you see
i am in a sea
and in the dark my waves
are memory laden of some place
a fully charged graffiti wasteland
i see a city past a river
its buildings are quite tall
seemingly this city has it all
but underneath its bluff and gruff
lies the foam of sham
its not who i am
or what you are
i stare off into the zips
my fleets are soundtracked
by blips
no holster to hurriedly capture
my flipping you off
no camera encapsulates my scoffs
because i don’t make light
i am here in my plight
studying people
gawking at concrete
feeling incomplete
having the taste for something sweet
suckling on the dirt and sheet rock
that compiles a life
within construction and discarded
ever so inter-connectedly

the rolling skies are rocky hills

demolishing my retina stare

through a screen

everything is green with pink embers

i was so high i can’t remember

how it looked for real

i cannot feel past the lower extremities

parts of me are peices passing through

a new envisionment

most of me is old wet and tampered with

too fat for you

too fat for school and life

but not pink trees or pink cigarettes

my mind frets

i am transported, suddenly, to another setting

like mars or the jetsons or something

cuddly and cartoonish

all that acid from highschool i never took

CATCHING UP WITH ME1!

and then i vanish back into this picture, back to two years ago when i still felt somewhat fresh, before my puppydog heart was crushed into kibbles n bits by a cruel girl. back when things were ok and tree’s were pink, back then i think that i had it all but i was seriously just as miserable. it’s a constant and perpetual. the past, if we could all just live in the past where we see ourselves as “happy”. too much of living in the past will kill you, i say. too much fantasizing about the future will get you in trouble. the present is OH SO VERY BORING. so what’s to be done?

i love to fantasize, i love fantasy. I AM FANTASTICAL. im fantastic.

90 degrees on the tops of trees

i fixate strange clouds in a succession

they trickle downward

as i press a button

slurpy and glurpy

tell tales behind my back

they make nummy num faces

and chew on cows

out of big bowls gigantic stargazers

droop sadly for our entertainment

we are at the edge of our seats

in dramatic enjoyment

i am floppy and buoyant

enjoying every minute of this

hostile environment

laughing loudly at the horror

the seconds make way unto minutes

pronounced by the loud shouts of time

and we recognize him by his odd hat

as time tends to wear such things

time says something like:

“its coming on three minutes now” or

“it’ll be a half hour soon” and i’m

growing bored of him

he seems to think i want to hear

his opinion but i hate him

i feel grim, i am a button to be pushed

he is slapping me around with his personality

my thoughts turn from cherry to grape

the walls are very thin, and i am within them

neighbors shout in different languages

but what do they say?

im so sour with delight

i squeal with muddy zeal

ill let you pulverize my eyes

and then cover them with ice

we are here to watch you wear

those tantalizing skirts

spin and spurt

before us

oh plz give me greaze

oh my plate keep me safe

from your harm, im becoming

something else, very soon.

they arrange you in tiny cupboards

so the visitors can see

just how charming you appear

in such pretty dresses

so polite to sit so quiet

in a small box

you have small pox?

i can’t hardly notice!

how charming! yet how awful

for the mother…

how does she do it?

she stuffs you so coarsely

into that cabinet

its become some force of habit

for you both

the mother grins

to your chagrin you are stuck

as she plucks

your feathers clean

shes not mean

but over blown

you cannot win or

try to compete

a winner’s attitude

admit’s defeat.

but it’s not as if she’s a monster

just a mother.

booming out the bursting windows

of a forgotten time

the ancients make hastey waves

smoking on vilianous leaves

stuck together with spit

out of car windows

sprung together like springs

mystical earth creatures

the music is so amazing

you can hear it from your bedroom

zooming right past you

loud and fantastic

your mom fucking hates it

i am young and free and falling over

neon clothing

no one told me

life was like this

as a child i was spiteful

always grabbing onto knives

and watching a clockwork orange

always writing in my notebooks

now im staring at how folks look

in subways and on light rails

and im studying conditions

enveloping transmissions

because i find life to be so funny

funny little bunny

i laugh at sad dudes

who drive their wives to work

its only friday morning

i giggle at people who don’t know

how to be free

because i am it, and always have been

but oh so stuck

contradictions

the human experience

and if i wrote a book about this

i might just be rich

i am a genius

drunk sick and feeling like

some mad savant

some jackson pollock of a person

poised to be recognized after death

everything from here on is flipped

so we forget, and tied to broken steps

sliced on open car wrecks

so everyone can get a close look

peering out their open car windows

symphonic radio orchestras pierce

in and out of clarity

the sound escalates from loud to soft

i am sitting there in bits and peices

please everyone just take a peek

nobody ends up looking at me,

all they see is a blurred wreck

nothing posthumously stands before them

menacingly

just a blur of a car that once was…

just chunks of metal and shit.

i am wanting to IMPRESSION something

but i dont know what, nothing specific.

nobody understands harry potter

oh especially snide little nasty boys

who pooh pooh everything

without even knowing

anything

simply assuming

snippy little malfoys

small frightful things

boy toys and cartoons

geetars and hillbilly notions

envelope into repungnant potions

that push people away

not that it matters

NOT THAT DRACO CARES

that his actions might be hurtful

he has his guitars and girls

he has other languages to escape into

he has rock music to fantasize about

but he dosent have harry potter

harry potter wants nothing to do with draco

and DETOX is totally HARRY POTTER

in this analogy.
