American Ambition is a fun way of driving you towards things / that you never wanted to win / because you're just a man; a dangerous bag of chemicals / and you can't stop. / So you go to the desert / to find out what you want and / what you are, if anything at all
Nameless, faceless Sea of Many Save a soul Toss a penny Need another? There's aplenty Reach into my pocket Ignore the silver locket Take a penny It's all yours For each is worth A little more A sea of Souls Unlock the door

Sea of Souls
My will to live has left me so, Now I'm alone In the ******* snow Lost my way while walking home, Now I'm alone In the ******* snow Cold creeps in, my bones, so numb The wolves they howl, my heart it thumps My achy bowels, my arms in mumps Blood is moving extra slow Now I'm alone In the ******* snow Dying alone In this frozen hellish landscape Alone In the ******* Snow

Hello sun You don't know me but You touch me in ways that einstein couldn't describe I feel your waves Through my heartstrings You burn my arm but strengthen my heart Give me cancer but brighten my day with art & life & food & radiation thAT MIGHT **** ME ONE DAY ......SORRY .... sorry.... You're my muse I'll use you to power my house & your scorching tendrils to find my way onward...... Sometimes You're a man in my dreams sometimes a woman but that doesn't matter it never has because what you feel inside so strongly is neither its just you..... like the Sun is what it is nothing will change that be it rain nor comet shower The Sun will always be A burning tower A guide in these drastic times If you pray to him he'll grow your penis... and your mind she'll radiate your vegetables it's by design it tells me "it's been awhile since anyone said hi it's oh so lonely up so high the moon sometimes makes me want to cry thinking of better times when people communicated instead of typing out their pantomimes into silly little machines..... and a rhyme..... wake up little humans I'm warming up it's not my fault You like driving big trucks your planet decided you're S. O. O. L. the carbon levels in the atmosphere are troubling but have no fear you're in for a jazzy existence here Whether it be desert sands or icey strands of land with many man..... men..... man? Anyways the moon says "hi I'm bright but only tonight my light is tight I radiate delight & I might be a hollow shell of metal that's tidally locked like a vice the Sun shares it's life without it I'd be a dull dusty oval floating into a black hole so Thanks sun.... I mostly love you and we're both seeing the same planet..... so..... I won't go above you you'll be my king I'll be your boo just keep me lit I'll do anything you want me to but the guys from andromeda said "Keep an eye on these humans they're a bit new..... man.... shoot down their nukes don't let one land if it hits a city..... well..... there goes our plan They show promise they're still off..... a bit..... maybe humanity has lost it covid? it's the flu are they ******** they're letting bug-eyed weirdos on TV tell them they should get injected with something that 'might' save them? Let's see where this goes Keep observing..... we might visit and they will be overcome"""

Memories like broken glass fill my heart my sensible soul shards of you remain Tattering this perspective Leaving a broken person behind these eyes This Kerouac perception mounted on confusion for feelings left undisclosed Baffling me like a child Thunder and rain my only solace dark clouds my psyche mutually bound Like hurricane Galveston ripping apart these thoughts these transgressions mortally comforting like cigarettes on Sunday reaching forth grasping at straws so they say they always say but do they feel as I've felt? alone & tempered as glass the glum periphery engulfing melting me down eating away into a pool of nihility to harden to break these chains feels outdated unscripted nonsense in the background of my memories souvenirs a setpiece based on untruths created into this sheer crystalline matter They call Glass

Shattered
Kiss me Take me to bed Then, punch me in the nose bloody my mind with your rage and forgive me nothing Hold me tenderly as your friend and keep my secrets Interlock your fingers into mine show me your eyes allow me the depth of your soul or the chance to kindle your intricate loveliness Feel something & allow yourself to feel it first before tearing it apart for answers

It's extraordinary. Today my existence felt like a cloud. A cloud of luminous star stuff, billowing in the dark. A feeling of spacious wonder and cosmos. Like I was within this void cloud, succumbing to the ether of nothingness and consciousness at once. Such serendipity filling my lungs, tracing my heartbeat. I had no clue at the time. My absence of knowledge like the innocent breath of a thousand newborns. Fleeting existential begrudgery and the radiance of every sun. I imagine the beep beep beep of luminescent wonder as the thought of light reaches my senses. A guitar solo and distant beat enchanting my soul. But in reality, I sense nothing. Not a cold winter morning, with fog on the window from warmth. Nor the buzz of insects from spring air, breathing life into the Earth's harmony. The tingle I feel is in my reminiscent stardust memories. Of life before life. Feeling before it was felt. Sounds before they were heard and only vibrations of the mind. Of sight being nothing more than annoying bright lights before they were calculated into something more understandable. This is the beginning of such a beautiful moment. Indescribable and an explosion of the senses. The background beat of a chorus. The vibrance of a photograph. The contrast of a black and white movie. The boom of bass against an orchestra of sounds. The feeling of a loved one's touch. The sound of thunder rumbling. Seeing your first array of black clouds engulf the stratosphere. The cold envelopment of raindrops covering your delicate skin. All of life's beauty doesn't have to seem beautiful at first. Just give it time. Just give. Time. We're all stardust here.

My    Sense of self                Is wearing down       I feel the corrosion             In my head                               My body                                     And soul Like               an unkindled fire Amongst               a sea of flames       The 'thump thump'                                 of my heart                      Slowly drowned out By       The thunderous boom                Of those around me Self actualization             On the tip of my tongue

Aliens     They have no notion of past or present,     everything is about oceans.     When they ask for you     it is really a story about seeing the ocean.     VISITOR #1:     Listen. It is failure of bridges that builds angels.     GROCERY BAGGER/ COLLEGE STUDENT:     Is this the depression     we've all been experiencing?     VISITOR #4:     Please have a seat and forget the edge of that coast,     you were not intended for this distance.     GROCERY BAGGER/ COLLEGE STUDENT:     I believe we're all owed an explanation.     Where is this manifest?     I've never ridden a horse, I am being dreamed about.     VISITOR #1:     You would not believe     the stories redwoods have.     You each get one phone call.     GROCERY BAGGER/ COLLEGE STUDENT:     But the voicemail I've been trying to reach,     all morning,     is full.     "I dream of psychiatrists telling stories     about dreaming of women     they've seen in unedited videos on the internet.     Sometimes they save her from that burning nightclub."     VISITOR #2:     If you're going, leave your voice     somewhere in a room I know.     COLLEGE STUDENT:     We would have no need for phones if you didn't invent distance.     VISITOR #2:     There are trees that become stained with a purple blossom.     During summer the blossoms fall and shadow around the trunk     like a violet negative.     What a beautiful dimension that must be.     They pull her skirt down to examine the body,     palms pour from a sidewalk in L.A.,     everything is cracked-     "My god she's beautiful, huh?"     I think I met them before,     a long time ago.     THE MEMORY OF A VISITOR APPEARING IN A DREAM:     What happens next? Come the exit of electricity from the body;     on a long enough time-line all weather radicalizes and the people     will grow into trees.     You can read about that hollowness and never be prepared for it.     It’s like standing on the edge of an overpass,     and being completely empty of the urge to jump.     This is what I remember:     instructed to reenact creation     she throws clothes     from an open window above the 60 freeway.       "You have to imagine there are people,     surrounding you and talking"

I am forefronted on the balance Of loneliness & hope It's too bright to know where I am & too dark to see where I'm going So I'm cruising along Doing my thing Acting a fool I didn't seem to have much interest in anything And it vaguely marred my visage Not understanding how Being in another part of the world It changes you I don't remember the exact moment everything changed I just know that it did One moment, I was impenetrable The next my heart was beating outside my chest Exposed to the elements I am a child trapped in a man's body And it's so bright outside But too dark for me to see anything That matters.
