American Try this trick / And spin it.
My seat upon the balcony in the indoor stadium Overlooked the stage and playing band. On my phone, I told my friends where I was Fishing for jealousy. (I was an *** then) She was the only of two replies "I'm here too!" Last spring, she told me of her affections, And my mind fell to wondering if it still was true. The stick bent, then. During the intermission period, I called and asked her to meet me in the lobby. She obliged, and after running down the stairs, I considered her in earnest. The stick was stressed. I thought about how it would be to hold her hand. I thought about how it would be to kiss her. I thought about how she would be. I reached the landing and jumped down the rest of the flight. There she was, looking for me. How long had she been searching for me? (I was a little conceited then, too) The stick screamed in pain. I tapped on her shoulder from behind, and she swiveled on a point. "Hi" I said dumbly and breathily. She smiled. The stick snapped. It shattered into a million pieces. She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. And we talked about how cool her boyfriend was.

Something Snapped (love poem)
There is a parasite in me I'm beyond certain now It's telling me it's helpful Feeding off it's vows It curled itself up in my chest I never felt a thing It started pumping, fluids false And still I felt no sting I think it is connected To my warped spine For though my brain says one thing The worms word is divine I have a pretty lover Who sits with me and stays But the thing says see the others And my attention strays I don't know if I can fight it For though I know I strive This nasty grotesque creature Is keeping me alive

To make a single flop Looks fun, why should you stop? to take the one who never has fun and make his body drop

Limerick for a Demon
A duckling hatches, to see its mother A ****** mess, a pile of flesh The duckling, looking for another Does not see the coming fox The thing, so quick Slips from the reeds Breaks a stick The duckling bleeds This new thing, pain So new, so cruel Is like a stain The duckling dies The sun will rise And make the dawn

The Dawn
A little bird went flying To see the countryside Some hunters were a' hunting To try and catch some hide The little bird, so innocent Sang its song for trees For growing is quite boring Without simple release The hunters started stalking This gentle little soul And aimed their weapons at her In a chilly forest cold The gunshot ringing stopped All movement in the wood All heads turn in sorrow to where the small bird stood A smoking ash, torn and burnt Released a single song "Remember, friends, the world is cruel But you won't be here long"

Josef K. has gone away And left his trial for all the days That I can stand with bloodied eyes That can no longer see the light I will not see my sea in waste I will not sea the see of taste I will not love your absurd ways Josef K. has gone away And left his trial for all days

Trial of Error
I asked the sky Why I only see the world I do "If only you knew" It said To which I cried "This punishment, why am I Unique?" "Why are they so mad?" "I don't want to be among the mad!" To which the sky replied "Dearest Alice, we're all mad here" And I laughed at the skies joke The sky is hilarious
