My coffee is tepid and so is the sky.
The clouds snap shadows to the floor
and demonize the sleeping ***'s silhouette.

It's funny,
you can't help but feel that
life would be simpler eating
twisted crap out of dumpsters.
But what those ******* Bums don't know

is that they are missing out
on some of the best things in life;
money, self-respect.
But then again

I don't see any of those drugpushers
give a **** about self-respect. And
your money is as valuable as
the **** you want to poison yourself with.
Part two of fifteen. Be as brutal as you want, it's only a concept right now!

it's time to change my skirt
I'll just unbutton my shirt
change my skin until I hurt
covered in blushes and dirt

You'll stand there staring at me
waiting to become someone else
I can't undo what you see
until I become myself

Who's waiting for me to become me?
Why do I feel the  need to be free?
Who's waiting for me under the tree?
Is there an escape across the sea?

I don't want to dance as nobody
you don't want me to dance alone
I was once dressed and somebody
just waiting for the tossed bone

parting mouths on open tongues
parting thighs on open thumbs
parting sighs on open promises
parting cries on closed kisses

I changed my skirt
and opened my shirt
my new costume
makes me more
or less
but I guess
I'm more to inhale
Your next breath
to exhale
is why I'm standing
naked
in front of you

As an adult I have a sub-conscious mind,
which entertains my irregular dreams.
So are the dreams of a baby dreams of no kind?
Colours and shapes lacking their titles,
dark space and sounds, no word from the bible.

Ignorant bliss?
I think not as I rewind my dormant thoughts.
Remember my adventure in a land without time.
whether pleasant or not I wake up alive.
Though as I run through the trees, lost in the wild,
there’s excitement in mind, yet life can be mild.
Life is so structured.
The structure within dreams is rather more fragile.
No gravity and teleports.


Entire lives within seconds.

Which would you chose?
Dreams of no kind?
A land without time?
