So I was walking down the street the other day,
smoking my cigarette,
and enjoying it,
and singing fake songs to myself,
and I walk past a small car,
and it made me stop,
because its strange to see a small car on my street.
Especially a small car painted in bright clown colors,
and especially a small clown colored car filled with smoke,
and especially a small clown colored car filled with smoke and what looks to be clowns.
So I decided to investigate,
and I walked up,
and I tapped on the window,
and as soon as I did all I could hear was screaming and kicking.
I took a step back because
I mean
****,
what if it exploded?
And as the small colorful clown car door opened,
smoke poured out,
billowing and puffing,
very strange smelling smoke of all different colors,
and i began to wonder if it wasn't me who was tripping ball's,
as 1..
no 2..
no 12
huge bug eyed clowns crawled out.
Gawking and hissing and juggling crack pipes.
The first one asked my name.
I lied of course.
You never trust a cracked out clown,
not even with your name.
The second one asked me my age.
I lied of course,
because it's a well known fact crack clowns are pedophiles
and he might have tried to have his way with me
if I told him the truth about my tender young age.
The third asked me for a cigarette.
I gave it to him of course,
out of sheer terror that if I didn't
he might use his circus tricks
to pull a colorful rag out of his ***
and choke me to death with it
and I didn't want that.
The rest of them just kind of stared at me
or screamed
or sniffed my clothing and inspected me.
After a few minutes of all of this
I decided I'd had enough.
Talking with clowns is bad karma anyways,
and I started to walk away
waving politely
but no they weren't done with me yet.
They hog tide me
and covered me in clown make up
and adopted me as there new pet monkey
/clown driver
/lion tamer.
But of course,
when the police found me naked in a trash can at three in the morning a few hours later
still unable to complete whole sentences
they wouldn't believe ( or couldn't understand) a word of it
but I'll tell you,
if you ever see a smoke filled colorful clown car
just walk away.
We know the truth
its ugly, and juggles crack pipes.
This one is from a long time ago. I think i originally wrote it as a text message in middle school.

Everything is absurd.
Nothing will ever make sense.
Looking for an answer, a purpose
is your only answer, and purpose.
I won't invent anything to believe in
or belive in any invention of man.
I Dont believe in anything:
rainbows
pancakes
jackets
parents
light
speed
love
god
­the sun
stars
smoke
fire
hell
kisses
music
sound
movies
death
life
re­ligion
answers
questions
nations
nationalities
race
communism
cap­italism
feudalism
nothing.
I don't believe in anything but
rain on summer days
and tectonic plates.
It doesn't make sense
but then again
everything is absurd.
I indulge
and elaborate.

Even inanimate objects
aren't safe
from my plethora of pity.
I felt guilty the other day for calling my computer a ***** when it crashed my browser. I actually apologized to the ******* thing. Imagine that.

I saw a guy.
With a shirt.
That said.
" I eat *****
like a fat kid
eats cake "

and I thought.
To myself.

*With ice cream?
True story.

I stagger cold through the halls of my indoctrination.
I do not wish to be seen.
A thousand ******* eye's gawk silent from there checker pattern perches
and my chains and prizes jingle
and attract stares
with each bounding step.
I can no longer stand my hours in this house of heresy.
Loose lipped **** lovers
spill secrets over bile chowder
chuckling about a days delicacies
and social secrets.
Second rate at best,
they all know there lover boy on the Hollister bag
probably takes it in the *** more than the average ***
and still they swoon blind batty eyed at the queens that prance the halls.
I am unamused
Feel abused
giving out my finest hobby to any takers.
I'm being used.
How am i supposed to ******* death sweet and smokey at this rate.
Like some fluff tailed hair
I hustle off with my ticking life in toe
the numbers at my waste spell ruin.
I'm late.
I'm late.
If only I had some red haired queen of hearts
to behead me.
A better fate.

Listening to old ***** spirituals
loud and proud
with a dedicated skinhead
in the drivers seat.

What do i do,
late at night
when I think of us together.

Your cascades of curls
falling soft and flowing against my face
like a motionless golden waterfall
making silent splashes against the white of the bed
enveloping me in comfort and sleep.

Your ocean blue eye's
closed tight behind peach lids
the icy water I swam in
that never told a lie
when i looked for them
in the silence of moments.

The rosy complexion of hidden hips
under shredded sheets
in the dark of the night
when I reached for something solid and soft
to bring close
and let me know i wasn't alone
in the abyss of the room
spinning slow and constant
around my foggy head.

The steady rising and falling
of the peaks and valley
of your supple chest
that let me know for sure
that motion was ok for my own lungs to commit
saving themselves
from the suffocation I wanted.

Breathing in the room where I knew
we would be together
and loving
and living.

What do i do,
late at night.
When I find myself alone;
and shivering in the cold;
and thinking of the things I've lost,
and loved.

I weep,
weep like an infant would
surrounded by any similar darkness
away from the one thing it loved.

War is everywhere.
Not only among our countries, but
in our communities, our schools, our homes.
From the bully down the block,
to the programs on our televisions,
it's everywhere.
But no one else seems to see it.
In a matter of two weeks
I witnessed mall shootings in Oregon,
attended a funeral to a man I knew,
along with hundreds of other people
to support a family who's lost.
In Conneticut, family after family was left
broken,
because of the missing pieces
starved,
of love from someone who wouldn't come home,
robbed,
of any sense of safety ever again.
And we,
all of us,
sit idly by
guns in the nightstand of our bedrooms,
gory video games consuming the lives of
children. Young, innocent children.
It makes me so sad to watch this all happen.
To hear all these voices, asking for change,
but no action.

Her
The dim morning light
Shone on her body
He admired her perfection

Her legs were thrown carelessly
Above the covers
They seemed to never end

Her hair spread about
Forming a halo of silk
Around her head

Her body leaned toward him
And seemed to sigh
In time with his bliss

Her fingers, long and thin
Were as beautiful as hands could be
And they were his

Her eyes, closed to the world
Were just as beautiful
As the soul they contained

Her arms reached to him
With her bare wrists showing
And on one was tattooed "remember"


He would never forget.

Ξημέρωμα που χάθηκε
         Σε ξέσπασμα πανούκλας
        Κρύο, ξερό και σκοτεινό
            Το κοίταγμα μιας κούκλας

       Εικόνες που παρέμειναν
       Στο νεκρικό της βλέμμα
    Την φρίκη εγκωμίαζαν
λουσμένες από αίμα

       Η εμπιστοσύνη αμαύρωσε
     τις πιο γλυκές της νύχτες
              και την ντροπή της γέννησαν
μεσσίες και προφήτες

Άψυχη η αθωότητα
κείτεται λυτρωμένη
                η σάρκα πλέον δεν την κρατά
   στον πόνο δεσμευμένη.
