Is it weird I don't find you attractive anymore? At first sight - love. At second - disgust. I may be harsh, but you spoke in circles. Lust is no replacement for love. If your eyes weren't so yellow from the bottle driven frenzies Maybe you would have better memory But you chose the bowl packed tendencies And you still can't remember my full name You were tired and drank the quick energy upper I watched your heart rate make your eyes quiver And I couldn't help but think I'm looking in a mirror Of what I used to be last year. So this drinks to the next one That chooses water over liquor Not because they're less fun Or don't like to get their quicker But knows how to handle the pitfalls To climb back from loser to winner.

To the next one...
In one year I want to fly And not on any human made machine or jumping out of an airplane with a safety net to know I wont die. Forget that nonsense, I'm going to sprout wings out my back Exactly where those knots have been hurting me soooooo bad from pulling double shifts everyday picking up 50lb bags. I'm going to do exactly what birds do and turn back evolution because we all know we resemble birds when we're embryos. But my wings won't look like angels and they wont have feathers instead they will have scales reincarnated from jurassic park days. A human pterodactyl. And the newspapers won't know what to do with it. What nickname would be given to the flying beast above the city? It sure ain't superman or Lois Lane by any measure it looks like a dinosaur with a human for a head. And that will be me. Flying above streettops and staring down at the landstuck animals. I won't fight crime, or save the world I might just scare window washers until they slip and fall and then swooooooooop down to "play" hero I probably will end up a freak... a misunderstood adventurer turning back time and trying to play GOD I can hear the scientists and religious preachers preaching their own disdain for what I have done Destroying darwinism in an instant and completely ruining the human genome The republicans will attack me and The democrats won't back me the independents will call for love and peace for eternity but please, they don't have enough money for primetime tv. No No NO I will end up the outcast of society and hated by every human that has a country on their Passport I will be terrorist threat number one and you can see me on Unsolved Mysteries. The History channel will have hour long specials with experts you never knew existed getting paid to share expertise on something you didn't even know existed But that sounds kinda cool... So now I'm wondering, should I start to sprout these wings? I am no fool, I began the process 15 minutes ago when I began writing but now I want to pull these wings deep within the rib cage and hide them forever. No It doesn't matter what they say They're JEALOUS They could yell and scream and throw missiles and stones and fake bullets and best laid plans But I will dodge them all Remember I can fly.

Lists
Im trying to wake up from fuss and made up images of circumstances that didn't happen in real life. I'm talking about dreams and now i can't tell the difference between sleep and awake. It's the dreams of future events when you sat and missed your chance I call them missed opportunities staring out the bus window instead of living life inside the bus. TO the girl that gave me a wink n a smile I was too tired and I missed my opportunity to spend some time with you all the while. But to the old man who hissed at me with grey eyes turkish feet and smelly auras pass-on old man I have no time to listen to your stories and swallow in your regrets I'm too busy trying to live my life and create my own mean habits all the while. But truly to the girl in my dream last night that came up to me taking action to the thoughts that I did not act out in real life, speak easy next time you see me and I hope i don't ramble on heart thumping adrenaline tunes of overly romantic thoughts I'm only trying to reenact what came to me in a dream. My balance is restored and on my journey home I hope you show up sitting in your car staring at me all the while I was staring back at you until we both gave each other a wink n a smile and I thought I hope this is not sleep and I'm awake.

Pooled from my dreams last night
what were you doing near my house Coyote? were the poachers chasing you off? Did the rumbles of trucks scare you inland? I have an arroyo as my neighbor with jack rabbits and snakes with crickets the size of urban cockroaches barely any humans only the ones true to nature walk the rocky trail but you... I am confused Mr Coyote why were you not coming from the arroyo? You cannot buy food at the Albertsons and the gas stations dont let you in The village inn wont serve you and the campus is sealed by skunks and their ghastly---wind Fast food makes no sense to you all your food is fast so I'm lost in where youre coming from old friend the native spirit of my soul has come once again Old coyote As if you had been lost in the residential homes of El Chuco and simply searching for me.
