It’s amazing how the world keeps spinning even though it’s ‘smartest’ inhabitants are going thru a calamity...suns still set, animals walk freely, oceans still churn currents, stars explode every night...
.
This world would be a literal heaven without humans...
.

Gentrification has ruined art...
Food Collectives replaced the trumpeter
In the window
3 bedroom 2 bath condos
Slaughtered the *****
On the rainy street
...
There isn’t any **** side of town
Anymore
No starving artist
No one selling repentance soup
3 for a $1
Newspapers for 25 cents
To look for deadend jobs
....
Art dwindles on empty canvas
Poets are a dime a dozen tho
‘Check out my page’
‘Like my stuff’
Poems that go nowhere
******* we’re suffering
Enough
.....
Just an oncoming storm
That never seems to get here

The truth is out there
Always has been...
Always will be...
Sometimes the truth
Is hidden in the seas
Mired in the dense forest
Asleep in deserts
..........
And sometimes the truth
Is in a campfire cup of coffee,
A sky full of stars,
And no cell phone service for
2 to 3 days...

...all a woman needs to hear
...is that you’re unhappy
...in your current relationship
...for her to justify
...why she continues to
...pursue you

So many...
Useless lives being
Lived

The Food Picture People
The Instagram ***
The Facebook Ranter
The Twitter 50k Followers

No furthering of the mind
No intellectual thought
No calamity heroes
To pull us from fires

Just empty dull comic books
Colliding with
Empty dull comic books

On a rock
Hurdling through space

So I’ll wait here
Where you left me
Fending off the wolves
Waiting for your return

Your train

Hoping
Praying

You’ll get here
Before Death does...

After the Darkness has left...
There should be enough light
For the both of us.

A single thread to warm
Enough strength to carry
Into the sunrise

We can make it
One more day
Together
