let's not

let's not think about that thing

cause that thing reminds me of other things

things that pile up

and make me want to take things

that make me forget things

that take things from me

that give them back to me with other things

that i don't want

maybe if this was prose, she wouldn't roll her eyes

it would be prose pupil, the good student

in the schoolmaid outfit

a cheerleading squad

good cheer, good life

i loved living in literary universes

for as long as i could, i could take things

to extend the literary universes

it was life extension, time dilation

social negation, retardation

it was harmless, it was legal

it was something i got away with

i'll escape

i'll prison break every day i get the strength

every day's a holiday

every day the guards catch me - get their sights on me

shoot me, every day it hurts and sort of heals

every day's a scab overlay, i didn't want to think about that thing

so i looked at a painting, imagined it was my skin

implied something about that thing

grief is brief

life's too short for grief

life is all about forgetting to grieve

jugi fruits are tasty, but they leave an aftertaste

that's not so tasty, and they're probably bad for me

but why should i worry? do skin cells worry?

i'm just a cell, baby, that's my theory

just a pity people don't work for me

not anymore, it's not their fault

just the next stage

of ego cancer

it's better not to think about that

let's not

roast beef and budadoze

i’m stopping off for jugi fruits on my way to the funeral

it’s easy to be stoic when you’re several mountains from the hospital

out of sight out of mind, tritronic distractions

she smoked for eighty some years

i’d say she won that gamble

she raised the woman that made me

maintained a beautiful family

blood is so strange

watered down in this age

alice died in the night

i’ve been learning to drive my whole life

profound paisley poetry

this won't mean anything in the morning
so i'd better write it now
while it's real

silk paisley fabric
ripped from a complete pair of pants
bought from a thrift store in kansas for cents
acting lampshade
2x paisley, folded
self-interlaced
classique serif fractalocutus

golden brown
texture like sun



i post here so that everyone can
see

everyone can
see

see the crystals
hear the crystals
taste the crystals
they're kind of piney, a bit like vinyl, and they'll rhyme, yo

paisley wasn't used or abused by us crazy guys tonight
contra and kita veto'd the scarf, i told luc:
fuck contra, i order you to wear that paisley fragment as a scarf
but then i felt stupid that we were both wearing paisley scarves
like i need any points in the homo column
it's not the paisley, it's the matching
i'm secure in my heterosexuality and paisley
it's that 0.05% that fucks with me
so i ditched the "scarf"
and write of the paisley fabric draped over
my newly installed 100-watt bulb
to make the moodlight right and not too bright
until the smell of burning starts

my subconscious is asking for a raise
says he can't live on minimum wage
i say i can't afford to pay him any more, sorry
wish i could help him, and i know he didn't even want to ask for that raise, but
we're all under the thumb of cerebral corporate cortex coincidence control office

there's crystals though
there's crystals and caves, there's stalacs and stalags, they make you feel brave, them make you forget, forget who you are, forget who you were, see who you might be, be who you might see, some might feel free, sometimes, and we're changing meter NOW da da NOW da da NOW. Cadence. Yes.

- sincerely,
the most pretentious ass in all of europe

glass beach

sinews in, and let's go
straight to the horsemouth
plymouth, seven seems too much
deadly sins and dirty deeds on this glass beach

you work it out for yourself
meaning is so beautifully malleable
like a melody the grace ladies played
with finess, in that context,
examining details, contours, obstructions

it should be said, sampled
consequences
down the draino
we can all relate

except those of us who don't insufflate

demands are far away
far away, abstract, i demand
that, uh, wha?

guilt can't be all bad can it?
now i'm trying to start a religion
trying to find the one thing
the one thing
that will fix everything
yeah that's it
there it is, THAT
muthafucka

don't tell me you expect nothing after
don't tell me that's what you expect
don't tell me you expect nothing after
don't tell me you have no regrets
don't tell me you have no regrets

i'm just a philosopher peasant
i'm just a literary dwarf
this life will be the death of my ego
rock, the strength of my soul
roll, the old riff on the soul

i take comfort in your disdain
outside your floodlights, something remains
in the dark, in the scum, in the dank and the dung
something in me will remain
when everything of me goes down the drain

maybe you played the game harder than me
i thought i played hard but you're harder than me
it's easy to be hard when you're sure of yourself
it's easy to be with those books on your shelf
all those self-authored books on your shelf

maybe the inner light blinded you
maybe guilt is just what you needed
maybe you should have been looking for jesus
should is a word that i shouldn't use
jesus christ

my birth was a laughable accident
yours was divinely ordained
i look for god in the cracks in my floor
you don't look back when they shut the door
you're tired, and life is a bore

i see your point
it struck me through the eye
but i don't think life is a mistake
i relish the music you hate
that is the music i make

wilco puts him in his happy place
a reference for your poor pizza face

the weather’s fine
i turned on a dime
turncoat for rhyme
words, they got me
i got my words
what the fuck am i doing here?
can’t believe my mom asked me about luke
am i reviewing my life now?

god, sam, and ashley
yeah, it’s a big k p party
wow
that’s too true, mahn

he sits in his chair, the virtual space where jefferson confronted - his sons from lilith

the nightsaver, saved her night, basking in the glow, rapid retrofade - played at suicide -- offended, deleted --- piled on

detritus ---- got home, nostalgized ----- published - tap tap tap tap tap tap ------

nightcourt - no qualms - egged me on, hard boiled, egged him on - the nice thing about moshpits, it's very intuitive in the

pit, group mind/mindless flailing, nice flailing, disco ordination, binary analog, intergalactic planetary, not enough core

to be hard, note enough card to be whore, too much guilt to be hedonistic, too much fun to be moralistic

i dreamed that we were under attack
by tigers, lions, love, rapid rivers
we had to choose, it was so prophetic
