Valerious
Valerious
A system of embracing ones existence and to literately live life till it kills you, in an almost ironically stoic approach, whilst still acknowledging the profound importance of influence and suggestion for the beneficial progression of humanity.
Another time, Another place, Another us.

Love you later.
Maybe if you leave, we can work it out. I need a permanent blanket of nimbus clouds more oppressive than a Roman Catholic Court. But, moving to London might convict me back to the cityscape of wasted Fridays and Saturdays. Because without it, the Betrand Russell in me might just start to wake up. And then I’d remember - there has to be more to life than the 9 to 5 daze. Washington DC stopped being fun after week two, and now I see it for what it is — a crush of desperate tourists blowing cigarette smoke in your face while you sweat last night’s drinks and Jumbo slice crash. Anywhere that sells Nutella crepes is pretty sweet, and I love all the kite flyers and buskers festivals. I long ago realized that while Christiania has hundreds of market stalls, they’re all selling the same material things on a Groundhog Day loop: baked goods, stolen bikes, old furniture, cheap phones, and bags of open air hash. Climbing up Carcassonne, a fortified medieval French town, probably is the best thing ever, but somehow, the two-hour lines to get into Berghain seem more worth it — all that dirt, grunge, and spinning feels as close to Dante’s Inferno; as close to feeling alive as it gets. But now my Sunday afternoons are spent curled on top of my clean bedsheets, twitching about like a decapitated blue whale - batshit exhausted and depressed but somehow grinning like The Joker, wondering if sleep ever sets.

Nodus Tollens
You and I are suspended over the Rhine. Soon we will be lost to the North Sea with a bottle of wine. While contemplating your life’s chores, You drank yourself to death behind closed doors. A Prince, a Count, privileged guest, prisoner, slave, or pet. All in the same like a preset cassette.

A meaningful death for a meaningless life.
Quand tu rencontres la bonne personne, tu tiens la distance. Et laisse moi te dire sur la distance. Tout le monde change. Mais si tu es avec la bonne personne et ils changent. Tu rencontres la bonne personne tout recommencer.

Encore et encore
To the pursuit of knowledge, Impervious to emotions acknowledged. You can’t outrun toxic haulage, With competing interests far voyaged. Double infinity, Forward to the unholy Trinity.

Garbage
Like two ends, we meet in the corner. One more compulsive affair.   We're everywhere and nowhere. Like summer somewhere.

Our Summer Palace
She played Juliet but refused to drink the poison dry. Indulging her Irish-Boston cream pie. Save the date for Dubai. Wheels up in ten for the red-eye. Dress code: Evening gown, straitjacket and tie.

Skirmish
Patrolling the defeated campsite, As we perform Their last religious rite. Like a storm, we ravished the dead of night, Just another toxic waste site. Every gardener’s delight, Exit stage right.

Firefight
Greetings from the cast iron cage. We live in an age, Where existence is on live stage. Swept through sand dunes and wild sage. Should we even bother with a title page? Lest we discover to disengage.

From Backstage
Though we have all found new lives Our old lives linger in the shadow of knives Soon enough it will come looking Don't step through the door opening Only darkness outside the gates. We're en route, our Madness awaits.
