American Sometimes I put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters. / Mike Tyson
am i good or old? I am a liar seeking truth. A hermit traveler freeloading on souls. I need sleep but hate watching my crazy dreams roll by. I am hungry and would eat your heart in order to better understand you and care more than the size of my hand's capability.

am i good or old?
I wonder what you are doing this very moment as I sit vulnerable and lonesome a million miles away from you and your smiling eyes that have an effect on me in ways even the stars will never comprehend because they have never laid next to you or sat impatiently waiting on a text from you. You are the exception to everything on this earth that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me spit at the very thought of not knowing you. you mean mountains that move to me. you are the best that makes me want to be better at moving mountains so that i may become I and get back to the place where nothing is needed because at least we have each other on this big pile of trash.

you mean mountains that move to me
my ink pen vomits on lined paper, tender cuts of beef unable to be kept down long enough to be properly digested. my words embarrass me.

poem flu
you tossed your answer at me cool and casually. even the way you tell me no invokes images of god blessing me. singling me out among the rats nashing their teeth. I adore your voice It is a song for my soul.

i cant wait for the new flavor of love season to start!
I have become an enormous nervous shipwreck. too distant to create what I feel. Eyeing the beautiful and missing out on chances to cooperatively fashion love and beauty to be birthed in a world of mud. you are death in a glass that has me so scared of losing.

get a grip
your sadness is my shame and I seem to understand it ok enough. I have noticed a change in you since last year. I recall in Beech Grove how you were loathe to steal. I believe I have witnessed this world change you a little. I went through it too. just sooner. so exactly what is the world doing to us?

I am king of the river.
how often does anyone go to sleep smiling? i really want to smile more. i feel fine. i feel good. watching you hang the sun every morning and take it down and hide it at night, summer's come and gone already. its gone again once more. you wanna know one of the reasons i know there's not a god? there's plastic surgeons. insecurity exists. the city never lets me sleep though i never really try. sleep means nothing to me. dreams mean nothing to me. i express my sadness with anger typical boy i don't even know how to cry there's times i know i am supposed to be crying in front of someone and can't no matter how hard i try. even if i want to even if i  need to and i wonder if people think i'm heartless or are they wise enough and experienced enough to recognize that i am only a mad little boy and thats why i don't cry like a little girl. you ever cry for a long time and then finally are able to stop and breathe, your tears dry and your eyes are puffy, throat full of snot and it's hard to breathe? that physically exhausted feeling you get,... that's how my spirit feels all the ******* time. plastic surgeons actually exist. there's sad little sixteen year old girls who get made fun of for having small ******* so her her parents pay for implants and a doctor gladly takes their money and gives the sixteen year old girl fake ******* this kinda **** actually happens.

we live in a breast implants for the sixteen year old girl kinda world
a yellow bedroom in the future holds some promise that joy inspired smiles can hold together things that seem most important and gotta be since i have put so much stock in this right along with you yet your tears last night accompanied with your voice quivering over that machine struck so much fear and anguish into my bones that my marrow feels pain and my heart beats harder and my lungs become desperate enough to make me realize i am no longer independent you and i are a part of each other even though we are miles separated with a feeling of dehydration and such a thirst that can only be slaked by your everywhere hair with a knot and your eyes that slay me every single time i dream of them.

separation anxiety realized
i'm confused so show me who your heart               is. i'm fragile so show me what your heart               is. i'm late so show me when your heart               is. i'm lost so show me where your heart               is. i'm young so show me why your heart              is. i'm found so show me how your heart               is.

a story unfolding
please, may i run? with a wind in my lungs enough to fuel a truck speeding down the highway and headed west to a place where imagery and songs make lasting impressions; even on those who have never been there. please, may i run? grow tired of only dreaming in my sleep and with blank stares at walls during NA meetings listening to a fifty year old child speak of his glory days. Please, may i run? i need to be somewhere in order to be and it's gotta be far from here because here there is no being. please, may i run? until the souls in my shoes are no more and left unjudged for their actions or lack of.

In tenth grade I sold Dana what she thought was LSD for twenty dollars but it was really two ****** on gobstoppers.
