American I just want thoughtful feed back on my poems, its hard to do revision without it.
Now that you've decided to start this year like every other day of it. You've realized treating every year like a dead line's a good way of procrastinating your own existence. A deadlines the point in time at which something becomes meaningless. Catching yourself on fire, you realized this is a decent hobby for those with skin. Imagine you'd said, if they made houses out of skin, I though of you. Not one for metaphors I'm relying on you to literally be a deadline. This bed gave birth to you. You're a nightmare, This bed's the side of my face I'm fine with not coming out of for weeks. 7 days later is a week not that anyone's counting but I've won. If you'd like, we'll do literally nothing forever and just how long till I get to become that void I'm staring at? Soon, you'll say, or maybe you won't, either way I'm ready to believe you. Right now you're happy about lying about being happier alone. Soon you'll be alone, happy about lying about being happier. Asking what you'd do with three wishes you said "her" twice, pointing at only one person, said "die" once, explaining how to fit the worlds ******* supply into a single room. After reading three books by Kafka you realized knowing what Kafkaesque means is overrated. You once smiled at the sun like it was proud of your teeth. Now your mouths mostly full of rain, and you really are proud of your teeth. My hearts beating like its blowing at a small ember in your hands. I'm the kind who answers "What time is it?" by turning into a clock You're the kind to answer " It's all a construct" before peeling yourself in public like a cold grape. Soon we'll both perfect being bowls full of what couldn't be scraped off us. For now that blank book I wrote " Notes On Futility" should be enough to sustain you. I only hope its looking at the blank pages that turns you blind not the way you lick your fingers to turn them. A falasy, I'm ready for anything. A fact, niether are you. A song, drag a small corpse, across your lawn there'll be neighbors, cutting grass and a sprinkler'll hit you, and your, cold handful. An ice cream truck plays, and it's, warm out. Somewhere some child cries, that hes, missed out. His parents promise, to take him, to the store. A Concept, me in the dirt the warmth of the sun radiates through the loose earth I smell only beautiful things. A rock scratches just where I want it to and nothing really moves. There is no longer a need for music.

To Lee Shetzline On The Morning Of His 23rd Birthday
Now that you've decided to start this year like every other day of it. You've realized treating every year like a dead line's a good way of procrastinating your own existence. A deadlines the point in time at which something becomes meaningless. Catching yourself on fire, you realized this is a decent hobby for those with skin.

What's really the cause of its arrival: "it"'s questions. "I"'m music. I'm the part where words are said that's to say not sung. The context of my head's no more object than thought. We'll take a while to talk about it. Assuming "it", "talk", and "we" are any realer than the words within them. If not then flesh, now you've eaten. This is where it becomes convoluted. uuuuhhhh Is its own stanza this "uuuuhhhh"'s in your voice in your head now. In or outside, your heads still a part of it strange enough. Out or inside, my hands still a part of it strange enough. strange enough my hands outside or in "it". "it"'s been explained. I want "you" to picture"me" holding a rock to the sun asking why neither are thirsty. "you" want "me" to be a rock in a picture of the sun, "you" don't need to ask to be thirsty, "i"m niether. Water and a handful of pennies makes a mouthful for a moment. Last nights moment's a *** of coffee in my mouth, told to self I really was trying to sleep. How many "you"s in this poem's really "you" "you"'ve asked. I'll say so much as to know the answer's the sun, that said that still I'm not sure. How many "I"'s in this poem's really "I" "I"'ve asked. You'll see so much as to guess the answers: under pain of death. That's your words, my head. Set your things on top of me, I'm auditioning for the part of a table made from a different table . I've played the part of the one who built it. Neither move. Lines please.

Because Janis Joplin's Take Another Little Piece of My Heart Is On The Radio
Turn signals of cars looking about to turn to here but don’t blink at about similar pace to a heart doesn’t leave any metaphor worthwhile though the fact melted ice cream on the counter next to food served to people I don’t know reminds me of the first time I masturbated successfully does though. Me touching something that goes into you about the opposite I want both closeness and indifference a balance hard to maintain as kindness and the pace needed to get things served so kindness isn’t needed like by archetypal male figures who can slap a person they love to mean it. Saying I love you doesn’t mean I believe it under different circumstances I don’t mean I’m lying either. Either it’s really that difficult to explain or it’s just difficult in all either way here I’m still having difficulties with the way your lips open or when we’re talking how I’m hoping they’ll be licked for decent or my own reasons.

The question if the felt or the feeling hand feels more is the only worth asking. As if to say if you asked if lately I’ve felt more open or hot as the eggs I eat in the mornings where I think about the things above I write about I’d say if I were to taste you it’d be by the gallon by a cup at a time to time to that song you’ve always said you’ve liked candle light writing by it’s what’s made all the good men go mad. It’s dancing’s what’s not getting laid on prom night. Candle’s light or otherwise kills what’s a lack of it, is it now made suicide or just loneliness, is it now mean loneliness or just vaticide now eyes not opening for the first time. Bordering on morose now we look for other words: this is where I live. Deader words: there was once where I lived. The goal’s in words to make things **** even houselights like being you as temptation.

This Is How To Be Cool: Step 1: Hate people. Hating people is in. This should build up the sense of mystery  most people you now hate will be attracted to. Don't enjoy the company of people you now know why you hate and ask yourself why you didn’t do this sooner and why only most things seem the same. Step 2: Wear shoes. Wear shoes as comfortable as middle aged men that don’t please their wives now that well anymore. Step 3: Lose sense of time. Lock yourself in a garage with no windows that has 2 TV’s that play different things. Have limited water. Have friends that you tell to buy you malt and even still cheaper ***** Listen to not stop talk of the grade of **** in strip clubs at a $ per/for a tall boy all day happy hour/s. If you have or had a phone or a clock hide it. If you have or had a sun dial or set of fingers set it or them in front or in-between 1 or 2 of the t.v.s so it or them always tells close to the same 2 times. Never, not even for a moment, look at them. Step 4: (4a)Watch.  Watch an old man walk an ugly dog    with a bag of **** in his hand.   (4b):Come to 1 or 2 safe conclusions    about why the man has ****    in his hand/s.  (4c):Come to exactly 2 [(4ci) and (4cii)] unsafe conclusions and write  them on the bottoms of separate chairs in an IKEA warehouse store. (4ci)The man needs   to theoq **** at someone nearby.  (4cii)The man has  a collection. A stockpiled **** supply. (4d) Reference and annotate your secret **** propaganda. Step 5: Go someplace. Go someplace  you do not belong you will make yourself unknown you will develop a cult nonfollowing. Step 6: Write a poem. Write a poem using useless metaphors to end a poem that doesn’t seems to be about women but  the poem at the end and inside of this first poem is about one anyways. Example: You're a book just closed, you aren’t done yet, Your drawing yourself out Waiting on someone else to return. You are a sun just set, you can’t be seen. All the lights you left behind have limits in the streets they shine in. You are a photograph of a photograph of an unfinished drawing: a pointlessly layered mystery about something someone somewhere has already finished and made better without you. You are a woman the least concrete image with the least valid explanation. Step 7: Lie to your audience and end the poem in an only slightly less useless fashion then I told you to previously plan to. This is not about a relationship, this is about being ******* cool. About remaining in a slow waiding motion through yourself the planet like spin of a fire kicking up and consuming the last of the air around it, Nothing will happen to you. You will only make things more clear around you.

How soon words become their sounds saying themselves, a muffled echo of a canyon packed full with abandoned spaces. I intend to fall over you like the best part of a disaster, like the thousands of things I have, will have said to you, only two will have been true.

When not unlike wet fish your mouth opens almost to speak, wet horses drag my tongue from my throat like a long coffin. I want you for the reverend for the wake for my last words, to say something like " His tongue touched his words often but seldom sexually." I want you to want to have you want into my teeth like new knives new points in balloons' mouths. Like new balloons' new mouths on knives points this's the first of the last of our first times together.

The assumption’s success is exciting that danger too is too and that that again for you there are too many of these words for suspense. Assumptiosly, I’m picking thorns from the lips the years used to tell you you have less faults than a rose. Probably I’m a fishbone’s softened point as red as roses aren’t without the ****** that made the same red as half the red on your hands already. It’s time and again to tell you in as many and as broken as entire houses hand blown and probably painted like goose egg words that I add Salt to things I like and need to keep longer than this no understatement I’ve made you an ocean filled full of fish bones. I ate oceans feeling fishbones breaking;                                       breaking;                         breaking;           breaking me, talking to you like chopping a tree onto myself. Even if words or not are in the right order do or don’t you understand do or don’t you?

It’s the first time and again to tell you I’m as broken as an entire house hand blown and probably painted like goose eggs. And again, Salt’s all I add to things I already like, it’s no understatement I’ve made you an ocean filled full of fish bones. I assume success is exciting that danger too is too and again that for you there are too many words. Peach, bear, broken, syrup, or-terse, are not enough to get life to work like you but are enough to get life to work for you. When or not in the right order you do or don’t understand don’t or do you? Necessarily, I’m picking thorns from the years andagain lips used to tell you you have less faults than a rose. In essence and again I’m a fishbone hut in a **** storm and again roses aren’t as red without the ****** that may or may not have made the same red as half the red on your hands already, and again, I eat/ate oceans and am fishbones breaking me brings no wishes or good luck or and again I’ve choked children and again talking to you is like chopping a tree onto myself.

and again ( rough draft)
If I wake up, I make sure I write down my dreams I write in perfect detail and my not dreams I write in perfect detial too. A dream life is as valid as a waking one is as valid as an undreamed life too every non-second every dream-second every now-second is life matter in every listed nonexistent perfect detail: polar bears, a bug eating me from the inside out, a blue mustard bleached rotted bone, a sword made of cotton that grows legs and calls itself summer wear, and all the things that aren't those things either too.
