American i often question whether all writers feel this way
i have a crush on a phone sinking in it as a stone would sink into a vat of ink lost in pigment, far from home longing for its bed of loam i have a crush on a phone i'd like to crush this ****** phone for with a free hand i could find a way out of this citrus rind this volatile warming smile **** i'm doing it again i have the choice to be alone but instead i'm on my phone for want of--FUCK it nevermind once again i've lost my mind i'm crushing on my ******* phone scuse me while i crush this phone

telephony
it's a dizzying impression to see one's own depression no class or task or master can us for that prepare that contradictive dissonance, that roguish thought of insolence rejecting solemn peace of mind and peeling psyche bare nerves, synapses, signals sent? what ** depression, whence!? it's to me no mystery, a consequence of sense a side effect of our accursed proclivity to care better, then, to not, and give to death concession the tragedy, the folly, the angst, our depression

antidepressant detox
arbore libertas, with fruits of life grows in a loam of blood and strife watered with fear, blooms of terror feeding a home constituted of error all times too cold, all times too hot perpetual victim of the coup d'etat beneath comfy shade, the thinkers think of some ancient tome of a world at a brink nourished by sap flavored saltpeter sure of the future tasting so sweeter blind to the souls lost underfoot things they're content to turn into soot watch the world burn in a blaze of inaction fueled by logs from a cutting contraption it's under this tree we're all learnt to sit and savor this odor, demagogical **** one thing we'll hear of which to be sure this smell's required, life grows in manure it sounds like a lie, then again, what's true? the only concern in a world full of you there's only a home fed by a tree fit with a swing, a rope just for me

i taste the spirits in the plant a blue and warming paradox soaked in acid, cooled on rocks i feel the spirits in the starch heark'ning to the victory march of a century buried in snow of the grape, spirits i know i'm calcified a hue of violet give my mind to autopilot i love the spirits in the hops afloat on bubbles to the tops plenty left yet somehow scant succumb to spirits, getting wetter make your own one all the better lose yourself in what we make rejoin them upon your wake

spirits
i realize with terrorists i sympathize with the murderers that we chastise so try to open up your masked eyes and maybe then you'll recognize that united we'll all arise to triumph over our past lies a truth we learned to surmise that i won't last til sunrise seen just before my soul dies in hope one day you'll realize

is it more accurate to say of humanity today that our art consists of blood and feces smeared across the page? yes, more so than any notion which i know that's all we are and all we will and all we hold as sage

modern art!
solitude, the only trait which we exude together in our lonesomeness upon the same big rock we thrash against it, more or less, the ticking of the clock oh the folly! all the waste, the hurt, the love, absurdity it's all we have in haste to make our very own profundity before the closing of the coffin, burning of our ashes how i'd prefer to serve my time: adorned with camera flashes embalmed and set upon a rock, for all my fellow ones to see and squirm in squeamish joy at all my peeled back dignity solitude, the only proper attitude with which we can approach the senseless nature of existence a mind, a hole in timespace, fleetingly fought resistence against that voiding encroach, the darkness of persistence one day i'll greet it as a friend and hope it's in good mood and meet with all my theories, my end, my solitude

solitude
i pluck a patch of flesh from my torso laid before me microscopic angles never did too much 'cept bore me i ponder at it as i watch it turn to plastic waste and toss it to the side to join its kin, the long disgraced i dive headfirst into the pile thinking out loud all the while what the **** you've done to me to make me loathe such harmony a call to arms is horrifying as it harms the glorifying capitalizing, profiteering bourgeoisie world engineering i eat my path through all the **** the world has given to me i see my comrades scoff and nosh and drink their minds all dreamy the world is coming down to see itself through all its trash it's still convinced it's beautiful through all the camera flash you will die, but so will i it'll be a work of art like none before, no final score and time will not restart

my steak is talking to me
three old crones went walking on the pier Void, Metaphysic and everything Here Metaphysic whispered something into Void's ear Here wished to listen so she sidled up near much to her dismay, there was nothing there to hear Void ignored Metaphysic, Here shed a tear from afar i watched and i pondered over beer if they're over there then how am i over here?
