You say,
Hey
To me.
Then
I say
Nothing!
We are same?
maybe
same same?
Less than maybe!
We're not same team.
Definite.

Russian roulette ...... perfectly fine ....
In fact play it at night on the freeway.....
On foot dressed in black....
But so help me
Don't you dare hang around
Anybody who hasn't been shot yet.......
Cause this vaccine is meant to keep us safe
As long as we aren't" exposed "
To it........
So we can protect"
Those who can't take the shot..".
We feel sorry for them
But not the ones who won't get it.

K?
Undistractable
One of the rarest times
Since I can't remember when.
Shocked
Unable to select the emotional response
To benefit.
Then again
Being jaded
It feels good to experience a true
Emotion

Suns goin down over
A velvet dessert
Purple skyline
Golden cactus throwing looooong
Shadow
....Sun flickers.....  
Like a shimmering glass of red wine
Darkening
Quietly
..Darkening..
Then it's gone
An alls ya can hear is crickets
And a band of rouge coyotes
Laughin it up
Round a fresh ****
Just close enough ta stress me
Im wounded
I lie clutching my chest
tryin to coalesce
My ******* heart
Still  swoonin over a love ...
I guess is gon moved on....
I Ain't tryin to purty it up none
I'm older than I think
Probably stink...I talk outa sink
Still got ink in the pen ......
I just can't think of what to ......write......


Rieeeet?


Tip my hat Ma'am
wink
Whistle whistle
Heeyaw
Lightning crack smack the horse
On the ***
And I'm
Back in the saddle again....

Poetry?
What a journey !
Huh?!?
hasn't it been?
Listen my friend
Its not right
Left too many wrongs
To mend
There's been a few
Even back then I knew
I was right
But willing to bend rather than fight
And I know I shouldn't have been
And .....
Over the years I written you
Metaphorically and somehow
You have always helped me to
Understand me .
Sadly.....the hourglass has been broken
So our time has been shortened
I want to write beautiful
All I can say is.....
Thank you and I'm sorry...
Its too dark for me
To see
To write
Poetry
I love you.......
To be ..........?

Lol
I may laugh at you
Doesn't mean I want to
An its not cause o your misfortune.
What does is your jumped up joco monkey fit.
And you so in disbelief screaming
"I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN..!"
well if that's true then why you so ****** man?

1253  lie awake  
Hear the  dry mechanisms
In the clock searching desperately
For any distracting thoughts
Tictictictictic tic tic  tic  tic .  .  .  . . . ......
Finally !....gravity!
compensations mathmatical
Calculations with variables!
This rythm fluctuation in timing
I had thought maybe
I was imagining....I'm not!
It's real in fact perfectly predictable  ....  
its not intermittent
or some symptom
of mechanical failure
The tic of the clock speeding
Then slowing its not the batteries or something discrepant in the machining....
Its so simple  ....
The weight of the second hand being the longest is pulled by gravity.........
so as it hits the six you can hear a lul in the ticking as if it were dangling without tensioning on the gearing
Then you hear slow struggling up to the twelve .
Where it sorta teeters then speeds sounds like it's trying to hold back the sands of time
Time... .
Time..............
h no ......no...please
Let me sleep,
Here comes the wave again
Pain full perfect memory
The clear and present danger
I know is immenment
The discovery ....
They'll see I've been pretending
To be innocent
And my biggest fear
My most mind breaking soul shattering life ending fear.....
Is they will think
I had taken pleasure in
Getting away with it...
So I relive it ...
I transfer myself into the ones who hurt the worst
Become them and absorb the worst case scenario
Over and over......
I lay awake ....
I live the humility of being ...
In the .....
I know I'm guilty wether I'm caught or not.......
I'm not trying to get away with anything .....
I just don't want to get caught...
Suddenly ....
The door slams like at the end of ironsides.....as the footsteps echoing down the hall ...
Louder aproaching
I see a big green question mark
Teetering and ticking above my pursuant....
Ohh no here it comes again
BAM BAM BAM.
this is it
My day of reckoning
Should I run .....
The door is opening
