31/M/MS I was born in Laurel, MS, but was raised in Waynesboro. I dropped out of college. Joined the Marines. Got out. Came back home and worked several different jobs in different industries. Just kind of drifting along really.
hobos blow their noses while boxcars roll on slowly an image of a hard time past. gathered crops for harvest. And in earnest I have collected roses smiled like dead heads left baking in the sun. And in the dead of night in bed clutching my gun. i find sleep fitfully in small doses.

We got hundreds of wide smiles that unwrapped would stretch for miles all for sale at the low low price of 19.95. Deep within, where they are kept, inside the well of Jesus Wept (along with all the money spent) forged in darkness. secret agenda magic hands weave the spell on demand.

I needed a fix so I fixed it now I'm all fixed up. You see it? It's over there Staring Glaring eyes night owls hooting delight surprise This is not rational. It was never meant to be.

Ever notice things that no one else can see? Don't tell em or they'll say your crazy. And if you talk about me when I'm not around The ghosts will come and tell me.

Ask the ghost of Christmas past Where Rosebud is today. Burning in the fire Is what that ghost would say.

Rosebud
Under the full moon one can see the forest despite the trees. There is a luminescence to the dead leaves, And we sing... Unholy hymns in strange tongues and discordant motifs.

I'm a troubled mind, and these are troubled times. Ain't nothin' but trouble. Trouble all the time.

Trouble
I like the clear country nights . Stars are countless points of light. I once saw two red halos Like wheels of fire in the sky.

Strange Light
Under the house In the crawlspace The moist Earth littered with the bones of small mammals, And infested with a multitude of invertebrates, I low crawled through soiled Earth to replace the water line as an unwillful apprentice under an impatient master.

A slow suicide called life and state sanctioned. It is the condition of the carceral society. Paranoia has become a proper state of mind. And there's a despot around the corner. Omnipresent surveillance. Society of control. The cattle are guided by passageways like electrons in a closed circuit to the killing floor. Exchange market value of currency against convenience. The stock that won't drop. However, liberty and security are not interchangeable in a war machine that never stops.
