We are searching on a cloud
You and I

You and I
We see little ants in a big crowd

We will ponder above them,
While they try to be found

You and I,

We talk about our friend who isn't with with us
Who thinks of his friend
Who is not with us

We'll cherish the artificial heat for that man
Embellish his soul which aspires to smile

For he is not a man
But a child with a yearning past
A useless smile

His kaleidoscope jazz
The enigmatic trance
Of illusion, he dances

Be stirred, for he is a sensitive boy
He is shaken, and don't be mistaken
We love him to death

And comedically dark chaos is, oh such fun

Take turns on this cloud
And let us be taken
Half humble
Half free

We are the cream of the dark sky
And the sailors delight in the red, fumed night

Don't be so analytical

And rest your eyes darling

And you will still be awaken

When your head touches the pillow

We will still be awake in the cloud

Having *** in our cloud

Can you not see me with the lights on?
Am I better to be seen in the dark?
When coolness creeps in our warmth
Is something wrong?

When the winter woods start to creak
And the fiery kindling cracks
Will coolness collect our souls
From the beautiful, burning fire?

And will my sunshine continue
To beat down on your darkness
And will I start to shiver from
how much sun I get
Deliver, deliver

How much more do we have?
I'll build you another home
And lock myself in the canister
So I can live in my work
Play with my work
And never stop to sleep, think, or feel and I will squeal at the edges hurt my shrunken baby head and bang on the edges with my shrunken baby head and I will scream for revenge and hurt my soft, soft voice and I could have bled but I won't because of you, Because I love you, So I will choose another day where work becomes a drug of choice and my illiteracy becomes my democracy, and how I feel that I am misspelled
But how you can right me just fine. How do you do that?
What is your magic?
Where is your rabbit?
I can feel canister's heat melting me
Gluing me onto it's surface
Your smile serves purpose

And your angelic blonde intrigue
Lets my fingers weave and weave
Through every shape and form
Of every sailing ship's storm
And the seashores sunny-blue welcome
Had spotted my loved one's realm

Her and I, we had sunk before we could swim
But we enjoyed drowning in ourselves
The Coral Reef was purple and orange
It had glistened with depth

But sharks had shown us how to swim
And now we swim in blood
We'll learn how to sink again
I know we will

Journal 12
My briefs were frozen because I put them in the freezer. I thought that freezing my unmentionables would make me a stronger person. I was alarmed by how ******* small my genitalia shrunk. Wow. My briefs were so ******* cold. Cause they were frozen. Holy ****. I walked outside in these briefs and wondered if I had remembered my lunch box. Holy ****. There was an egg salad sandwich in that lunch box.
*I ran frantically across the road back to my house, but a car ran me over. My skull had been concussed and decapitated on the windshield of that ******’s car. Man. I wish I had worn those bunny slippers, because those were my lucky bunny slippers.

You could have just been friends
He could have drawn pictures of you
Envy rushes through and through

And you could have just said "No"
We could have been polite
Your happiness would not have shown
If things were alright

We rely on this
We die with this

The standing bricks and blue-grey faces smile
I hear death outside

It was our final ride
And I saw the blue-grey faces for what they really were:

Sad, careless, and abandoned,
Glossened with luminous inquiry

Darkness helps me think
So I can shrink into my own room of thought
So I can unlayer

The feeling of losing control
Is as harmless as love

When push comes to shove,

My bricks will no longer stand
And my face will be, only grey

There is a string of hair dancing on soap
And the warm shower sedates my hope
I'm about to fall asleep on the mashed potatoes
I'm seeing old faces that I miss so much

There is tiredness groping my scalp
Driving faster is my only help
I'm seeing oncoming traffic
And they wave me into the two bright beams
They try to make me smile
I scoff, I scurry, I hurry
Into the merging lane
I'm back again
I eat different ice creams
It's an ice cream dream
And I can't find a better place to go
He can't determine the volume
It fluctuates;  and so does he
He is a ****

I can't seem to differ my introspection
Between her and I
What is to weep when she can cry
My eyes are dry, the air is dry
I can't seem to stop instigating
Her lovely, confused mind
I can't seem to stop wanting
To **** his good and graceful shrine

Raspberries and ginger ale
Never can I tell
If they end well

Last prairie unsettled
Not claimed yet
From greed

Mechanical rattle comes from kitchen
A power tool dancing
Upbeat digital alarm

Click, juernk, juniper
All noises unsaleable
Fingerless to put on

Fearless finicky me
I'm angsty and funny
And stupid and satiated

Satiated with alertness
