Chicago
when a bluebird lands on a chinese orchid and oranges roll through your historic country mind and everything beautiful is seen in nuclear battlefields i loosen my grip on the ladle of conception and a speck of dust lands on a bed and explodes one million diamonds rain from a cave on a fictional island my mother is crying next to homeless men but for different reasons the blade of a hunting knife sinks steadily into my temple the hand of my killer is seized and returned to its owner all guests of the gala evaporate through the walls and street lamps click off for the morning sun a child runs into the black void of his mothers warm embrace

pity him he's a helpless fool agitated and coarse pardon him he's not so nice abrasive no remorse pardon me i'm in the way ignorant in my prose pity me i've been aborted useless and disposed forget my pardon forget my pity im not a victim of his tyranny

my bad
i follow in a dream every night a light whose blush nullifies the emptiness of my room shifting shapes and colors and sounds and speed and time and air does anybody know what is going on? i only love that which i can not understand

art and women
hello everyone you know who i am let me tell you about my fears i work alone without anyone knowing i'm there i disappear for hours and no one cares i keep a woman with me all day since nobodies taking notice anyway so i can have my joys so plenty and swollen as long as i too do not take notice hello everyone you know who i am let me tell you about my fears i daydream about a woman i knew but know now she does not exist she paints me pink with bubble gum dream pop and i night dream about her too my world so beautiful and pure with her here that was a long time ago but she is still here goodbye everyone you knew who i was you already knew about my fears i can't keep in me all of you forever i can't continue to pretend you're watching in the morning I'm strong, the afternoon I'm weak more than the sky changes between morning n night i fear waking up at 4 in the morning to wonder if my world is real

Irony
it is a sacred place the driver's seat of a '99 Jeep Cherokee manning the wheel of a two ton killing machine a means of crossing the width of a continent in less time than it takes your girlfriend to ********** that same girl who gave you head from the passenger seat that same girl who used to occupy the passenger seat every night that same seat of variable occupying friends (makes you wonder why its called shotgun) from the driver's seat you look through the only window that maintains an ever-changing perspective from the driver's seat you've thought of many different things you've said many different things you've cried of many different things to me anyway the driver's seat of a '99 Jeep Cherokee is a sacred place if you would like to explain to me otherwise i would be very interested to hear why you're wrong

maybe I'm wrong maybe he's right maybe he's not doing this out of spite for he would know since we can't see the light and our bodies keep melting in the midst of the night and your voice has gone quiet and a ***** will riot since your voice is fading and your mind has grown tired I'm the one to blame I'm the one to shoot a distraction i've made from a lover's point of view but i don't mean to harm when i take you in my room i don't want to take the pen away from you but i guess i have no choice for i have stolen your voice it wasn't my idea i was sick of all the noise produced in my brain when i think of your face its a sickening way for which I'm disgraced so i will leave you alone i will leave you tonight i can't think of a more romantic place or time so goodnight my child goodnight my moon maybe you will regain your voice soon for he is right and I am wrong it wasn't out of spite he saw it coming all along and wanted what was right and he sees in your eye what he hears in your voice singing line after line but he could not keep from mocking this boy now i have grown tired now i am annoyed so goodnight my child goodnight my moon please find your voice again for now i'm turning you loose

right to spite
sunshine doesn't always mean warmth love doesn't always mean worth a heart doesn't always mean theres a soul life doesn't always need a goal eyes don't always mean sight punishment never means right whats normal might strike you as odd sometimes theres faith without any god

my heart, its gone its gone she roams free apart from me i did not mean to turn her loose another heart set her free shall she return, will she know me for my mind or body when you find my body do not weep for though we are ugly, our kiss sinks deep the graceful ones see right through me but only you can say whats trash or beauty for you're the heart so many long for and now you're stuck with me and i wouldn't know what for
