American I have tossed a rock through the glass wall. / I have thrown myself through behind it. / Now here I am. / I know you could see me before. / Maybe now you can hear me too.
soft silly syllables sauntering slowly at sunset after all ambiguous adjectives adversely affect our amicability feigning fickleness funding fearfulness finding finality in foolishness egress endlessly ever evading the end

Safe Comfortable (therefore stationary)
A lion that cannot roar, A mouse's voice that booms across a tiny horizon in a box pushed up against the window shuffling about in the night aimlessly pacing forgetting what was just back there but knowing that he unwraps the fabric of time spinning it back, onto A spindle-y future BLIND BLIND BLIND a mouse gone blind now thrice what can't I see What can can i see what if you don't see too well then i must be MADMADMADMAN there is something blurry off there in the distance i can cannot tell if my window is ***** or the thing is simply a vague example of poor resolution My voice booms is it is louder than it isn't is it SHOW ME SHOW WE SHOW US US US US if you brought your nocs what is it you see CAN IT BE that poorly resolved distant figurine behind the ***** glass of the cardboard prison is it could it be ME

Starkly Raving Madness
A man in a house sits in one room, he can only do this one room at a time, perhaps occupying all space, all rooms but probably not because when i move i hope its not just a room but a room with me in it alas he is alone even still bah i dont need this ranch house crocidile dundee ******** even still spreading my hands apart and touching either horizon i see no answer from here even still looking around wandering about the places i have found myself i still fall in like a seed penetrating the earth i do it backwards knowing that the end result is the sun sun in, love out

The places I find myself sometimes.
We were playing a strange game this old man and I the coin in the middle of the table we stared at it we stared at each other he slammed his fist down the coin flipped into the air when it touched back down I did the same then it was his turn he screamed something unsettling and it was my turn and i laughed unfortunately this went on forever

finding divinity in chicken ****
There is that corner in the top, on the far end of the room it catches my eye and begins to draw on my thoughts like faithful moths a beautiful smile of death and living on in each of there faces

That Corner There
I went to california today when i arrived i ran from the car straight to the beach there i frolicked in the surf and the sand until i realized that i was tired from the long drive and the sand was making me itchy so i went inside to enjoy a cup of tea i found that tea tastes the same in california the walls look the same too and the textured ceiling turns out the tv runs an hour early out there though but thats only by my watch apparently i will go and meet the locals and so i did they are no more local than me i met a man who told me that the government was out to get me i met an older lady who likes flowers i met an older man who didn't like the look of me I found twenty somethings that like to sit around and get confused i met a happy couple with a child they were holding hands and smiling i found myself at the end of the day sitting on a bench i found myself bored with life so i sat lost in a downward spiral of beautiful thoughts my outside must have looked sad because a pretty girl  sat beside me she said "what are you doing here" i looked apologetic and started to leave she grabbed me by the hand and pulled me back she said "you look like you want to play a waiting game" i was but i would never tell her that she smiled and laid her head on my shoulder at that moment the sun was setting we watched and waited **and then it was dark and i knew that this place was special**

I Went to California Today or I Don't Know What To Be... Or Not To Be
word are words no different from the whining of a hound we can sit in our silly circle and bite and bark in each others faces i will be completely entertained dancing around the outside laughing smiling but there are times when all i want is for you to see me watch me dance look what i can do and how am i supposed to do such a thing get your attention i will howl i will howl i will howl and howl and howl until you come over and softly sweetly with a smile scratch me behind my ear

I can't hear you
we are all standing out in the rain huddled close for warmth staring at our feet and a blue light streams in my ear and out the other into yours and into his and so on until it comes back to my ear and onto yours we are standing in the rain i look up at you and smile you smile back
