Silver screen athletes quitting soccer teams to join homophobic friends (redneck quasi outdoors-men) who just want to **** animals angst must be vented lest it boil inside and form a much darker concoction. I beat the horse 'till I couldn't get it wrong even then the faceless desks of power endorse eugenics, pharmaceuticals, and high profile lawyers sentencing me to a life's term teaching Sophocles to an uninterested fifteen year old too busy stroking a Ritalin limp **** to star censored ladies on Vegas stripper cards. And he said "Watch your language" when I said "What the ****

The Man
sipping iocane powder in anticipation of my vengeance dreams of dim witted gentlemen choking on vials of their own arrogance allow joy through the sacrifice for ironic justice.

Fairy Tales
A lucky conscious so much so that words without meaning form under the clicking of my fingernails. Plugging in, and swapping out with algorithmic precision. My hands know something that I do not. I envy them. Envy, because they are the maker behind the mask. The unsung and unseen hero of my conquests. My conquests, but my hands separate from my mind. This is not self-envy (if that's even logical). Just like passing that test you didn't know the answers to I feel I cheat the world. Claiming rights to words not mine, Only a part of me.

Guilty Conquest
A nascent society gluttonously feeds on the palingenesis of hyaline paragons forged by stolid and archaic eremites. A whilom friendship leaks a susurrus of tristful regret, while pernicious ***** maunder puerile attacks on munificent intellectuals who only wish to augment risible souls and divagate from vertiginous roads too often traveled. Such a chimerical respect for tradition is too rigid to be broken alone.

Untitled
The blue eyed man’s piercing gaze peels back the layered shell To my heart, and though I cannot hear what it tells me Magnificent waves of purity radiate through my subconscious His divinity is certain, but its properties are so ever elusive deep blue iris’s crippling, Smiling ear to ear with quivering lips prison bars shaking from the rampant tears of joy that tremble within the prison of his mind experiencing an ever present beauty Everything that exists is beautiful As seen through those eyes And just as the far off galaxies disappear When the telescope zooms out Beauty dies in those blue eyes, No freedom is found in death. I cry I cry And just as words on crumbled paper seem poems never meant to be read A beauty dies in those blue eyes, destined to remain unseen.

Best of Youth
moments of Medusa's eyes visions hardening then crumbling whilst still distracted by the unwaivering allure of come-hither eyes oblivious to the dire realm of quickly evaporating reality left with thoughts, though no choice but to revel in the vampiric kiss of a beautiful apocalypse finding only empty castles void of jest and princess alike not lonely, but alone crowned king of thoughts already spoken and days already dead.

Dissolving Swiftly
Hungry stones line the narrows a jagged, muddy trail aspen trees as pharaohs gaunt columns of massive scale Broken wagon pieces lie testament to treachery splintered axles cry hopeless dwell in reverie only insects fly Lonely road disintegrate loose shades of beige and brown fallen roadsigns instigate nature steal the crown Hungry stones in narrows still are left unfed bodies strewn with arrows death they do not dread.

Yesterday's Truth
Through unheard hymns, stained glass reflections, and blurred visions of scattered rosary beads under a dusty crucifix I stumble desperately towards the confessional booth so as to skip purgatory and walk across dried [willow]* leaves, the patron saint of flipping the bird refusing to recognize the difference between water and it's apparently holy counterpart. Unscathed by altars of broken dreams I will slip into the mysterious afterlife without fear of judgement, rather drunk with a child's curiosity. *unfavorable climates for palms led to the substitution of boughs of box, yew, willow or other native trees.

Kicking the Bucket (of Unholy Water)
Play a song to my fevered heart do not stop, do not restart. Sing the tears right off my face sing forever, just in case. Rock the shoes off my aching feet "down on the corner, out in the street" Beat that bass till youth returns and the yearning soul within me churns. Solo licks of sacred breath heard not once since Hendrix's death. Compose a score of rising tension race my heart with hot dissension Songs of love or songs of trance... ...all I want to do is dance.
