"Keep your eyes closed, love. sometimes all you have to listen is to what the sound of the waves tells you to do."

When I was much younger, beaches were my second favorite places. I still love watching waves as they go by, crashing against each other and the whole process repeating all over again.

AM stardust spirit
as I lay awake
robbed by the
ghost
of you
again

I submit to
haunted daydreams
longing
river flowing
wet dreams
fairytale
facade ever
endings

& terrified
of each
corner of
the
universe
we used
to
dance.

Their mind is like
lazy writing
that put god’s in charge
of water and lightning,

made men weak
and put that pantheon up
to wreak
havoc
when they would speak,
moving massive mountains
with wild vibrations
leaving nations facing
fictional devastation.

Creation stories,
though neat,
are kind of boring
compared to
what we have uncovered
in our scientific exploring.

This knowledge is better than
the daytime talk show’s host settling
for some secret power
that allowed to her
to whisper success
out into the world.
She claims that we get what we put in,
that all results are manifest
of our good intent.
So, any bad that happens
to us or them
was our fault.

Like crazy gods
and flat earth creationist
a flock of fools follow this
big pile of dog ****.

By their logic
any suffering child earned it
with poor thought intent.
This fairytale ****
has got to stop.
The secret is
for every event
there is an actual cause,
not some abstract energy
that moves in-between
the cosmic scene,
but a series of actual things
that transpire
in a measurable pattern.

Today,
I am a
cadaver-in-waiting.
Cold, stiff and
ashen, I am
ready for
autopsy and entropy.

Me
My Fingertips touch
the Sky and stretch
so much
it hurts
My feet are glued
so strongly to the
ground
shoot roots so deep
into the Earth
that everything
inside of me

now melts

with no regrets.

You know "robot" means "slave",
right?  I need
to believe that you are
more than your programming, need
to believe in the
love notes you wrote me in
binary code, need to believe that there's
space between the hardware and the
software for something like
the soul, need to believe in it with
all the faith that still ebbs through my fragile,
damaged circuitry.  I need to see
you break free of
these algorithms in order to believe that
maybe
I can too.

What is this inky
blackness
that hovers
quiescent near
my heart

Ready for you
your inestimable
***
and smile
and smarts
and God that smile

this heaping transaction
that wrenching response
*** at a cost
Nothing can be lost
so I whale on
sniggering self
satisfied steerage

Eat the words of night
get clear gain weight

the solidness of anything
given the gap of orbits
you invent
the mayonnaise of
apparent time
slather it on interpretation
win the game
without knowing
you are a piece

I am fascinated
by fake faces
that implore us
with false sentiment
to invest in their
criminal intent.

I am intrigued
how these
proud businessmen
can convince
other humans
that the highest
achievement
is to show
what you are
consuming,

that removing
empathy
in favor of greed
is the way
to finally proceed
to the next state
of financial security
which will make
us great.
