I stare silently into the window,
For the briefest moment
I believe in another universe
And another me, struggling with the same

And then she walks by,
And all illusion is lost

Bled out [it's really okay]

Trying to bleed out every last word that's sitting behind the brain barrier.
I'm afraid I'll lose composure if I get rid of all that juice.
Steroid in my can
I'm juiced.

I heard a good tang/space reference.
Let's pretend that I'm good with wit.

You could be a comic
You're a funny guy.
I sense turbulence
You caught me off guard.

You're not wrong
You caught me off guard.

Let's break up
You're not wrong
You caught me off guard.

I want you
Let's break up
You're not wrong
You caught me off guard.
---
I have somebody else count it.
Throw a brick, and miss.
I meant to do that.
I meant to do that.

Drown out self importance
Drown in self impotence
Drown in self importance
Drown in self

Not that it matters, but I'm not really impotent
Impatient, maybe, but not impotent
Erectile dysfunction
I only relate with the latter of the two words.

I'm done. I think that's it.
Bled out

M Clement Dec 2013

Call her up on inspiration, knock down barriers in desperation

Home screams "42!" in red and white
Push it to the side
I have no time tonight

We are all separate, but wholly one
They are all separate, but wholly one
Father, Ghost, and the Son

Strange meetings in the middle of everything
Stare at the ground,
while your gaze starts to sting

How old are you?
How old am I?

Why did you grab my leg?
How did you notice my movements?
Where are you?

I want nothing to do with tomorrow.
Because self pity of today is overwhelming.
Knowing better doesn't change the actions
And my hip wants to pop out of its socket
Traction
Gaining
Hydro-planing
On the streets of whe'ever the **** in Oregon

Loss and gain
Measure the same, but one feels so much
heavier than the other.

Push beads back
Hold her hair back
The only difference is sharing loneliness with another

I'm not saying that I understand, fully what's happening here.
[Soul searching, or so I've been told]
But I know that you and I are worlds apart.

Is there this great of a disconnect between the rest of the world and I?
*Because the Internet

Lots on my mind, and I intentionally stayed up to let it spill out. Sorry for the language, but it felt proper here. Also, if you like the varied tonalities that I feel, check out "Because the Internet" by Childish Gambino. It's a fascinating record.

Chaps reign [and so does auto correct]

I came and then I came to
And all those things I said about you
About me
Maybe that's why I'm here
He thought, while the darkness around him swallowed him both physically and spiritually.

Tonight didn't end quite like I thought they would
Endings taking the form of sea men being shanghaied into the nearest boat
No alcohol this time
Just pure ambition, or the lack thereof

Writing is the only thing keeping me up
That and spiritual distress brought on by the royal we, man
[insert pop-culture reference]

Unsure if you'll read something that was truly meant or me
{
And the hypocrisy that I find when lambasting someone for using the Internet as their diary, when I do the same, but cleverly disguise it as poetry
}
This is block text with no form.
There is no rhyme scheme nor is there timing.

I stayed up to write. Can I poet now?

M Clement Dec 2013

I need to read The Great Divorce

All at once,
And nothing.

There's nothing to write here,
Not this morning.

Slow key tappings beneath speech of a philosopher.

Do you know the meaning of the word love?
[Take notes]
Subtle key tappings.

Problem is I almost never read.

[A good poem]

][
|I had it.|
(I've)
Glorious
(had)
Implore me
(it.)
There was something
[70x7]
There was.

Something in the water
Holy mountain
Uproot and walk
[Something in the water]

Blue dream
Apparently smokeable
Kush life
Kush type
(Never smoked a day in my time.)

Box this.
Seriously,
Print it
Box it.
I could try and draw lines
Just send it to me.

[There's]
[something]
[]
Look closer
Assuredly
-OVO-
Ever over Ever
There was a point here
As there was over there
And if you connect them
There's a picture
Hint:[elephant]

The point of this poem is that it means nothing
but everything in it means something at some point.

Long lines
#dealwithit
I just need some shades

This was experimental for me. I just went, and I think it's really bizarre.

GPOY

If I secretly wanted to explode
Would you tell somebody?

Pass center-left
We're strangers now
Happiness?
Not really
Contentment?
Maybe.
I can't help but feel we're better off
No we...
You
Me
Separate entities

Backside volley
To the side of the valley
Favorite my tweet
And I'll flip-flop my meat
Meet me at the grocer's
Five-dollar Tuesdays
Make sure it's ******.
Unapparent Appalachians
I spelled it wrong initially

Thought-o-sphere
To drivel near.
I got stuff to do.
I got stuff to do.
I got stuff to do.

Just touch me,
Somebody.
