Waves -
glide towards the shore so gracefully
only to trip and crash headfirst onto the sand,
much to their embarrassment

Such style
Your clothing speaks - loudly
Serving the function of your voice
Your eyes avoid others, like a game, darting away, while your vocal chords silent
How is one whose clothes speaks so strongly, so shy?

Air under the wings as we rush upwards, peeking out our windows
Molten metal winks and calls for us from below
Calling to be mined…excavated…or is that just our human nature?

White drops on a colored wall
The mark of a distracted painter
blights or beauty marks on the celestial canvas?

floating on a plane of champagne
adrift
longing for those I hold so dear
the best way to cope
the music fills my ears, the drink fills my brain, the couch envelopes my form
unfathomable happiness, joy
close to bursting at the seems
it's amazing that I can still type
so fast the keyboard might catch on fire
how to deal with the sudden separation, the alacrity of the surgeon's deft slice,
friends separated
yet only temporarily, until the surgeon stitches them back together
another year at school
how to deal
the lightbulbs searing images into my eyebulbs
I now inhabit the plane of oblivion, I finally understand

A wonderful flowing mess of wind, hair, and face. The face, swirling away amongst the clouds. Like water, it evaporates into the atmosphere, only to be rained down again upon the world. Beautiful face particles, hydrating the plants and animals and splashing upon the rocks. Face bubbles. But are they small individual particles, each a different color, a different shade of the face? Or are they all the colors of the face swirled into one? Swirl upon swirl. The plants and animals will take in these particles, growing with them, nourished by them, reflecting them in their own visages. Immortal? or inorganic?

The leaves, flittering like birds, birds that have been attached, captured, leashes of fishing line around their neck, allowed to float in the breeze, tasting the freedom. The taste rolls off their tongues, down the back of their throats. It tastes like more. But there is not more to have. Tethered in groups to their branches, swaying, holding the branches up like balloons. They bring such pleasure to those watching them, watching at the zoo of nature. Occasionally, these visitors will throw a crumb, a disturbance in the air, sending a breeze to them, scattering the birds, only to regroup momentarily as they are ****** back by their leashes.
(Yet only the flitteringest of leaves are birds. The needles, poised like popcorn of green starch, stick out from their branches, frozen after their explosion into the air, paralyzed at their first breath.)

Fingers tapping on a keyboard
Tendons clacking up and down
Marching towards oblivion

What does it mean to be interesting?
Is it: to be captured in the thoughts of another, their mind giving a projection of your self a life of its own ?
(Yet how can they know
A projection is just that – a façade, a portrayal)
Only one aspect of a three dimensional object
How can they know what it is really like to be an interesting person?
What does it mean to be boring?
Is it: to have given up on yourself? to be afraid to show yourself, for fear, for shame, for any negative emotion?
(Yet you must know, it is these imperfections, these inconsistencies that fascinate)
Humans love a puzzle

All I wanted to do was dance
now I am faced with a squeaky keyboard
All I wanted to do was dance
but how can particles in a tube of toothpaste dance?
All I wanted to do was dance
Alone.
Unwanted contact from all angles.
Beer rained down from the sky, but it was refreshing in our hot tube of toothpaste
Who smokes in a mosh pit?
Who are you.
PS sorry to the man who's hat I tried to steal
But seriously, why would you ever wear a hat to a dance party if you didn't want it to get stolen
Didn't you know that a hat is like a drunk-nip to a drunk person?
Who are you ?
All I wanted to do was dance
and jump up and down and fist pump the night away
But then the night became cold
My only options were to shiver the night away or drink the cold away
Didn't you ever wonder how people survive in Russia?
So I was no longer cold
But that was not the first part
But was it the worst part?
Touch.
Oh, you.
You're a silly verb.
At once so innocent,
but so easily are the bullets loaded, turning a word into a gun
Can you show us on the doll what happened?
