Nothing is certain but entropy and
Momentum licked by my time’s solar flares
Even gravity submits to glassed sand
Only to avoid the light’s many glares

Wild West be ******;  why ever go down?
Progress is natural; civilize me!
Deconstruct ‘natural’! Make it my own!
Scrape the sky away until I can’t see…

Nothing haunts me, I’m already adept.
“I like it here! I think I’ll stay! Always…”
Words like always are a worthless aspect
Alexandria wrongfully ablaze

I think these things at the end of my day
Because I’m nearest my home when away

Wait just a minute, I just remembered
How selectively action is taken
Don't hesitate to see me dismembered
No mind fissure will form; you're not shaken

Remember to recycle the knife, friend
**** a companion to save your planet
You'll be there and to the next life I'm sent
Seems we both have fantasies about it

I died when my body wasn't my own
It left me, now a stranger and a ghost
Immortal, no longer bound to this town
The metaphysical needs a free host

They know I cheated them, cheated my death
One last bowl of lettuce before the hearth

I’m thrilled you’ve never been told this before
Less so that you couldn’t figure it out
You are so bland there is nothing to mourn
You’re not human if all you do is pout

I understand now that you are reverb
You are the last conversation you had
With no solid base your life stays splintered
Project onto me then ask why I’m mad

I was the only thing real in your life
Glamorized a red pill only to choke
Say I introduced you to real strife
Karma’s sense of humor made you the joke

I only helped you become more yourself
You’re welcome, enjoy your personal Hell

I have apathy you can’t take away
I take my vices with a swig of *****
I can not stand the way comfort will sway
Malcontent has a way of being news

Put a heartbeat into my poetry
See nature reflect my mood back at me
Misunderstandings made clear in the trees
Without surroundings what is there to see?

A certain carelessness in honesty
Lacking empathy but strong in boundaries
Why is being left alone so haughty?
What’s wrong with a bundle of memories?

I wonder, would you go to Hell to save
Someone else from an early, sudden grave?

I can’t remember your sunny smile
A fog has covered that part of my mind
It’s a defense against longing while
The tentative threads inside my head wind

Every now and then a gust banishes
The cloud gazing that I do most trite days
Disgruntled when the still fog vanishes
The sun comes again with a gentle graze

But the distance between me and the warmth
Plays tricks on how I see the world around
Steps I take venture your way going forth
Greedy for an alleyway in Old Town

Or a canoe, a car, or even prom
I still feel sixteen although you’ve moved on

I interact with myself constantly
So understandably, it’s exhausting
The voices speak so compassionately
Why would I ever express outwardly?

Empathy tree stump to sit just the one
I stand on this pedestal to view you
My frozen expression needs warmth from sun
Only then can I ask “How do you do?”

Animate mixes poorly with my buzz
The vibrating heartbeat… all I have left
All else is a blank canvas, just because
I’m trapped on stage, all I have is mind set

Leave me alone, I want to be myself
My one care is for what can’t speak itself
