Some find God in church.
My pew has wheels and holy
Sweat. I cleanse my soul.

Gravity and graphite
Over fifty miles per hour
I'm flying
Really enjoying cycling again. It is freedom. It is flying!

Wind in my face
Struggling to breathe
Pedaling and free

Emptying ashes into a bottle cap
Figured in corner  eyes
Anxietying  into a heart attack


See-saw
Makes sense
Hee-haw
Laughing fence
Mee-maw
Six cents
Chakra
Too tense
Ta-ta
Hence, immense expense condense whence intense dispense defense thence commence pretense.
So tired I am seeing figures and hearing things...I think...

I haven't slept.

What am I waiting for?

Death in my lungs

Carcinogens.

No it's not that,

I'm waiting till my need overcomes my fear

of sleeping.

Till my thoughts of her are engulfed

by thoughts of you.

Till my blood overruns

and spills into the street.

When my wrist heals

thanks to protein

extracted  from meat.

I need sleep,

but I'm afraid of dying.

Not the flying but the landing.

because it's  really crashing.

Waking

up like nothing happened.

But it did.

I am exhausted

Tell me to go to sleep

So I may hold you

while I shake and weep.

I am dying in here

decaying

in my

thoughts.

I

need to forgive

myself
I can't take these long nights for much longer

Heard sirens

Saw lights

Another body for California St.

Another day in Stockton.

Wait

I know him.

Them too

Hey, who died?

Tagging in the street

R.I.P T.M.F.B

Wait

...That's me...

No, it can't be
I just came from down the street
from the burrito truck
I had to get something to eat.
No onions . mild sauce, carne asada
Don't forget the limes, $4.25? sweet
I turned around and hit the beat
Just grey sweaters, blue jeans
and vans, not sneaks.
Occasionally tye-dye
if I'm feeling unique.
greeting this day I say
this is pretty neat
The train went by and bird are going
tweet tweet
This sauce is still hot but my sweater
keeps off the 84 degree heat
cause i'm sweating and cooling
These shoes look cool against the concrete
Hearing music slapping
I think it's E-40
Smoke rolling from the windows
An arm reaches out the backseat
**BANG

BarelyABard
I walked inside a room one day
and found a seat inside.
The walls and floors were bare and cold
no place for ghosts to hide.
And here I sat for many years
with daylight pouring in.
But I never bothered to step outside
for fear of the devils grin.
But in that fear I lost myself
and feeling seemed to fade.
Here now I wanted something more
than cynicism left to trade.
The chair became a guillotine,
the room a prison cell.
I want to escape from feeling void,
a vacant shallow hell.
But the door, again it opened wide
and there a figure stood
smiling with the daylight gleam
and I finally understood.
I'll never fully leave the room I made
and the ghosts will always prey
but if I can let someone step inside
they can chase away the grey...
