American I write. You read. That’s how this works. / / [copyright]
Your claws they sink Teeth into me I scream Oh no It’s ecstasy I can’t Get through A day without your taste I need To bleed Your life into me Teething Tethered Draining Withered Your eyes Pierce clean Right on through me I hunger Oh no It’s ecstasy I can’t Get through A day without your taste I need To bleed Your life into me Shadows lurk On the wall Waiting for your fears in mine I stray Oh no It’s ecstasy Teething Tethered Draining Withered Oh no It’s ecstasy It’s Never Ending Teething Tethered Draining Withered

Jabberwocky hip hop doo *** It don’t stop Til the Hufflepuff huffs and puffs And shatters the glass slipper Watch your step on yellow brick It may be the same advice for yellow snow Don’t you know If you tip the magic hat The rabbit will jump out and hippity hoppity To a late, very important date With a snake offering an apple To the fairest one in the land Take a bite, it will be alright You’ll see things so far out of sight Just one bite will take you higher Another bite might be like dancing with a sprite all night Oh the things you’ll see and oh the things you’ll do If you listen to my advice And dance the jiggly jig Of the jabberwocky hip hop doo ***

Grandpa Always Said
Forced Awake Revulsed Revision The slipping Unconscious Buried In ash The being Collapse From nothing To be born From fire We’ll wait forever Treading Dreading Readying Last light Flickered Into darkness Snuffed out Into darkness

A Phoenix’ Last Fiery Birth
Waiting For the rush Kick in, kick out Nothing better Than wasting I once saw potential Thought it a massacre A shower on the killing floor Waiting Wasted Washed out No sense in dreading The day will never come I exist only to cease

Cow Tipping Monday Through Sunday
Same late night The monitor plays static Drowning out tv screams Another show Plays on rerun A repeat of something Already done Growing old Waiting for a sunset Growing mold Staring at an eclipse Heavy are the eyes To close like a mouth Scornful memories Teeth biting down I’ve burned bright Like a moth

Moth.
Spider crawl, Eight legs Moving across the pavement, Searching for next meal

One of the images I’ve had in my head Since I was a little kid Still learning in school Is the image of Shakespeare Quarantined In his house Seeking asylum From the Black Death Writing and scribbling Play after play Sonnet after sonnet Until his inkwell Ran dry And his doors Opened to the outside.

Shakespeare Quarantined
Fill glass with ice and water Squeeze juice from lemon into separate glass Poor water and ice into dog or cats water bowl Drink the lemon juice Turn your insides as sour as your soul

I tire of playing this human game And it’s rules that change on a whim, It’s cataclysm of ego run rampant And woefully harmful mentalities. Return me to ethereal stardust Where I no longer have to play
