I have to see you two naked...

****!

It's all the same

If I was blind.  You would
Just say God Dam you!  

Then throw me in the dumpster.  

Well some one worst then you two
Found my Asian logo
And now I can safely say
They want to pray your boy friends
Gay away.  

Ya,
But even I can't see god
You guessed it
I'm in church  twenty four seven
Three sixty five
Wishing the pastor
Quit farting in his microphone.  
I'm always to close because
The sound man says he can't
Hear a rat
Munch a page out of Genisis
Ya it's the same.  

Either place I end up
I always get used.
I get pushed
And when that happens
I ALWAYS QUIT *******
WORKING.

Sounds like someone I know.  
Peace out!

A delusional man from Samoa
Packed  his bags for trip to Angola.
He got very sick
Because Obomas a ****
And now he's spreading Ebola.
Michael Parish Oct 2013
I am dangerous and unforgiving.
I know you more with the merky hours.
I make you starve until your alone
hearing unavoadiable agony.
I am the worst part of waking up
I make hope romantic.
Ill be searching to keep us
both unlockable making  
you employed to my tormenting
thoughts.  
I am wealthy.
You cant buy me out
of you.  
I learn to hate who you will grow into.
A miserable man missing all his front teeth
Talks to me.  
He knows Adversitys a touph word
if you havent looked it up
In the big red dictionary.
The meanings permanent

Like a bad tattoo.
Michael Parish Sep 2013
A new adonias we weep for
A miiddle aged life tooken
From us by a disturbed
Hairy trigger
We flood the rows
And watch anger
Linger behind stained glass
But forgivenesses message
Dwells in the holy  mans heart
All the worlds unsharpened charcoal
Cant sketch the scene on his deck
When the bullet missed the dart board
And landed inside his precious
Life breathing chest
In here we are safe
In here a wishing well of endless
Purified water from our sadness
Cant ressurect our friend frank rossiter
Few fathers experience lost sons
Few mothers watch their sons
Explain to strangers why adonias
Cant be here anymore
To watch the running
Pigskin at the state foot ball game
Michael Parish Nov 2015
The seductive ghost at the wheel of my fire bursting finger tips still an  old silvery soul ricketing the shutters delicatly.  your lauph bursting across our living room like tiny bubbles, little birds flapping their pink feet above  magnolias.  What a whisp of beauty it is to still know how much we care for eachother.
Michael Parish Sep 2014
Like a walrus he
Puffs the white foam from
His whiskers
And tells me,
No tells all of
Us he never touches
The ****.  
Because the worst
Fifty years of
His life
Never went
Any farther
Then
A Full
Case of
Scotch
Waiting
For the perfect
Moment.
Michael Parish May 2015
No chicken paprika
No white wine with oysters
No paris!
I was in America buying Chinese food.
You were shopping for dynamite.
Michael Parish Oct 2013
We wwirl and bow under roof tops and
into metal shaving mirriors.  I found in me
tiny peices in love to humankind.  New words
new foundations  lauph with ground breaking
earth worms.  We were slugs inching towards
nine slimy hearts.   Cut us down and we will
give you one example one reason you are
still yarn weaving through needle fused claws.  
Write four lines inside a tigers stripes.  Give bees
the chance to **** with kindness.  Let us prove
one changes into every universal  creation to
form another mothers spitt into faces and thumbs.  
This is proof we are one to eachother.
Michael Parish Sep 2013
Her inviting blue eyes
                      
                         Met my dark brown

           My secret love

                                         So calm and profound.
Michael Parish Apr 2017
Clear me up
Show im fake
Clear me up
Im walking
Runaway
Come back now
Dont go out
Its tempting
But return
Please dont waste
Your hard work

I get it
Not enouph
People make
Nothing true
You feel cold
Fight the lies
Its not you
What matters
In your head
Cant get flight
Play and try
Make it yours
Wait until
You become
One like them
It happens
To us all
Eventually!


Roll it out
The freedom
On your time
After hour
Nbody looks
Get out now
Stay at home

Listen to it!
Call it back
Dont flip shut
The offer
So they say
Its *******

One more round
If its you
Somebody
Will lesten!

See around
Pool tables
Chicken thighs
Frozen ice
Coke mixes
Everything
Your confusing.

No god please
Ive heard it
Im leaving
Let me go!
Michael Parish Mar 2017
Perhaps it was the fudge or the twenty beers you had at your bosses wake.  Never the less you see a dark alley open up and you want to bottle neck your self out of your cloths.  A few friends join you its what friends do for eachother after a funeral.  The streets are dull and the gas lites are only monuments left from the days we crawled out and walked back in our caves.  A misquito breaks curfew and seduces the skin on your neck.  But it feels more and more insane like wearing a tuxedo to the gym to avoid playing racket ball with your dead boss.  You think for a moment and have seizure on in the cab of your friends chevy.  Your eyes roll back and for a moment youve felt the blinding dance of not knowing what will happen next.
Michael Parish Feb 2019
It's alrite to say we're to busy
Even our greatest family
Members understood
What it meant
To go somewhere brandnew
To brine in love and burn
With out juice
Failure makes happiness
We try so hard
With concentration
Forgetting how crazy
It was to be mixed around
In life.
Ho2 crazy it was to do something
With out care
To see something nobody else
Saw.
We eat and love
And afterwards if we're lucky
Heart the legacy
The story we took for granted
Individuality
The thought of living
The day to day
Of doing what we did.
We raise ourselves to live
And maybe work hard
To keep the for granted
Things on life support.
Michael Parish Nov 2015
A ******* call so I could pay along time.
Exuses excuses no **** no dice.
She hates the pictures of tools and guns.
Why will we fight?  Its knives and points sharpen.  A game with red and green, mixed ***** on ice.
We once warmed tubs and showers to slide hands in downward drips.  To clear smooth flesh and wash,  our oily pours against heated streams that softened the lilly spheres .  yes! And  Yes! Oh my god yes so yes and  true the frog will hop before he floats his pearld chest above the egging geisers.   before he stays he screws and hops around.  Until he sees the water and its steam.
Michael Parish Apr 2014
If so meaningless and
Misunderstood
How can birds sing.
We know love but interpretation
I said we have no imagination
Echo my sounds repeat my calls
Stay simple like a sparrow.
Michael Parish Jan 2019
I can't wait to miss you and feel the wild birds
Run out and flush away from our fire.
You rub my hair like a lucky dog
And I'm ready to be loyal all over again.  
Your to good and I don't want to ever runaway or stray to far
From your foot fall.
I promise to always be on point
And love you forever.
Even when you miss
I promise to keep
Hunting for your
Hand
And the sound
Of your fingers
Pushing to get
What we found.
I love you
Michael Parish Dec 2015
The golden lemons
Go by.  

A jet of fire we cant
Catch.
Michael Parish Jan 2014
If I tell you the artist broke the law
because the phrase "I know" really
means unstopable.
Because the engineer cant look back
wards.  Or else he would see
Letters latching onto steel hooks.
And understand the art of comodity.
Michael Parish Oct 2013
The ancient tacoma grainery,
Stands in a corner of its own now.
Tne dark tunnell still has leggs when
she lets go.
The dock street rail yard fills up the city like a
loaf of hotnsteamy bread.
Farther down our ambitious tycoon
Stacks up condos, wheat pancakes,
Is his breakfast of choice.
They demolished the old elks club.
Which sprung across the street
like a walmart super store.
Blue and yellow is workers vest
perks and all.  Their members still
grase for golfballs off the ten million dollar tees.
There isnt much enjoyment, they'd rather drink.
Last month my two foot clarks walked through the sliding dorrs hospitality.
Wanting to see the high mountain of sucess,
I looked for organic oats.  
My minds to random.
I inch up to the screen and see the faces of migrant workers,
Hang like meat.
After six months in america half the under employed,
Are giving up.
Deported with their children.
My hope still goes out to the college students.
And their first morgage of inflamatory dough.
They all buy up every job still hoping for change.
No marrijuana in public,
Get away while the officers turn their backs,
With their guns to pepper a face.
In the taxing store.
Im afraid we smoked heavilly.
Love to the workers,
Love to their vests.
Everythings devoliping to quick.
My new bike slices by cars of ritz crackers.
Everthings been built to last.
There nothing left to buil on,
Only a few vacent lots that wait for tresspassers.
One man dives through a trash can and isnt scared.
He picks out a hamburger bun and eats his lunch.
Michael Parish Jan 2015
There's old junior Bobby
Waltzing fine felt elegies
Back stage fronting
Towards his morning
Patrons of widowers
And their crows
Feather coffee
Trying so hard
To tell young
Men what
Their Rose gardens
Once did before
Our now lady returns with
Smiles hoping
The one letter she took
Out of her name
Creates better tips.
Michael Parish Jan 2019
It only takes   one lovers ruptured heart
Can it be restored like a fragile piece of art.  
Or did the fire break their integrity apart.  
Can lovers make a brand new start.
Or will the news be piercing like a dart.
And is there enough sugar to **** it's ****.  
Can lovers make a brand new start.
Or will they fold like Collums  of metal carts.
Can lovers make a brand new start
Michael Parish Sep 2019
a cold instinct happened
I turned to the rite
a river wakes me up!
Michael Parish Sep 2014
The old Murray island White House
Still coughs in her salt water grave.
Her ships are gone.
Her old wooden barnacles
Have no place in this day and age.
My mind grows tranquil and
Like a shore bird
I sill want the same old herring
Who danced like sailors all day.  
On top of the smooth green waters
They fell in love with this place.  
They stayed like salmon
Returning to their graves.  
So few are left now
Only the stubborn ones
Who never grow up
To leave their bay.
Michael Parish Feb 2020
Black and topped Whit swirls
My hands make refuge on
Thin feelings.
Forget your glasses!
**** the phone.
I love you.
Michael Parish Sep 2014
The boss is a portrait
Of you at the ripe old
Farting age of 50.  
This isn't new
You are what you do.
There's no disclaimer
Only a chance to dead lock
A kids collar and say get out
While there's still time.  
You know the rest
He gets his **** together
And delays the dentures
From sticking
To tongue sat age 29.  
I know it's all just numbers.  
But who wants
To be the one to premature *******
Lost hope.
Michael Parish May 2015
Hey Johnny I know why you hate me
To who it may concern (Lindsay): I drank a red sea of whine.  Only you I confessed.  But if you came
I'm embarrassed because you probably  snuck into my room.   Beer boxes now become monuments of communism.  Don't step on my cameras.  
Instead of shoes walk on my nasty mattress (maybe my life isn't so bad).   I'm surrounded by addicts.  So many cars get what they want.  Lingo for the wise:  the less you know the more you can help your family out.  Getting away means getting back together my brother said second chances make love a lot better.   Don't let out excuses my mother drinks like a dragon (soar throats never moisten).  Hopefully the car can fly like a sphere I'm hoping better jobs mean more responcibility.
Michael Parish Mar 2014
Tell em I came to end the days
Theres no more life inside my bones.
Give em the best day I know
And throw it to the dogs.
My big face was decieving.
My eyes are growing cold.
I was grounded with the water
And now the time is told.
The endings always numb.
So i took to my advantage
And landed in the white caps.
Its only just second
So dont think I was wrong.
My mothers a helpless women
Who lives with out a sun.
Michael Parish Oct 2014
I knew there would be black smoke
Escaping from my powerless
Hold on the path of no mans
Lands atonement.
I went as fast as I could
Into the grounds of unbaried graves.
Michael Parish Feb 2015
I am dull green and compact
whomever I ******  I sip loosely
condign with a wedding ring.
I am not an oasis I am only factual
The belief of a Quadrivial dinosaur.
Male lions exigency steer my flame
nerveless singular  in ones element
Tranquil, soundless, never saying boo.
Michael Parish Sep 2013
Agonies sweat swims around the anointed  like a undesired coo pool.  
The chorline burns our eyes with icy tears, while we wonder if well ever see the truth again.  What happened when they realesed the  flood of hope?  All of the souls drowned like helpless pigeons trying to swim.
Dol
Michael Parish Jul 2015
Dol
Just the last twenty years alive god damit.  Luckily japan let Russia read.  
Some speed reading skinny girl conjoined with Mormonism.  
I never even had the pleasure to puddle jump across a Yakima sess pool.  Ah tater tots!  Ah  cheap i pod!  
Let me belive getting by has a latter upwards.  I'm dreaming!  She works window 4.  No hi.  No how's Johnny.  
It was only step rite up before you have the count down to blink.   Mrs.  I sat by   Ago I can't pronounce your husbands weird name.  Mr clean tell your son to mop floors with his head.
Someone needs to wet that cloax infestation.  Mr creep?  Have a women guard the bathroom next time you really ****.  I heard children playing.
Michael Parish Jul 2014
Hauled away
  Like expensive tuna
God dam mr. Flood
  He flipped like a schooner.

The lodge polls shake and skin their branches down.
The bloodless pitch of sap always browns!
The freedom of wind swooping through the cones!
Needles touched to blossom in creeks and streams!
Everlasting Proof we can never die alone.
Michael Parish Sep 2013
The bartender a europa server leaves me a shot of liquid propane.
He moves past every silver dollar forgetting about the meaning
of whskey and bull dogs.
I watch cody a young university of washington student sneek In a  can of raineer beer (if he really  goes there) ill never ask him.
             This is how lastcall always takes place:  a drunken masqerader our friend johnny
Drops his wallet and kills a shot of jager.  ( are we drunk enouph yet)
I order a taco and gain three hundread pounds tonight.
Master of the pitchers.  He still dreams of being a physical thearpist ( he failed trying to take over for Dyrile). His new tall order of a job makes my anticipated buzz weaker.  
Im tired of these long dresses opening up and spilling all over the dance floor ( the dj warned her not to)
Our ladies still mention bach.  Inside of her purse hides a mystery knovel.
Tueday means a victory at home.  Every player utters pride of being a regular.
We sink the black eight ball knowing the bouncer gets in the way of ourdrunk enemies  ( a red head)
He charges like arhino.  Hes a animal without areason to ****.  But the bouncer prevents his six year jail sentence from ever happening.  Bexause were all forgiven like helpless bar rags trying to dry out before the mold and mildew
contaminate our ******* stories.  We all speak easily after the brooklyn dodgers turn every blue and white hat around the five head.

He wont show us how the airforce cut his hair.  Every one of his is angry patrons drink until the switch flickers the message ( crawl home bfore the cops fish with dynamite) in the ruston pqarking lot. (Searching for fake DW'S)  each of themshine a britemaglite until the last car disapears still swerving like a skunk ptetending to hide in the storm gutters.
Michael Parish Sep 2013
My friends a pizza cowboy
My uncles a interpreter
For the grainery
My cousin lives inside
Dry mouths
and my mother
Makes fake smiles
my other cousin
sticks his pruned up
Hands in rivers of unwanted
pasta
My father makes sure
Boats do not go gently
Against the stolen tides.
I think of the underdogs
Whenever were all together
We sit on the same green couches
Durring the holidays.
The same ones that tell us
No matter what happens
Were going to be ok.  We sink
And recline in the coushins
And forget about
Nine to five for a few honest hours.  
While we drink and eat and lauph
Underneath the same old popcorn celings.
The same living room
Where every thing happening now
never went unoticed because
Ireland found England after
The bombs after the soccer game
Where she said (after the game)
"I want nothing to do with that *******"
Are you sure about that grandma.
Better stay away from uncle george (the keeper)
He wants you to meet his friend (the forward)
Who played for the Blackburn rovers.
Michael Parish Nov 2015
I am stealing but I realease
All  silence in your cries

The loundness with out voice
mans a womens and his transgendered child

Our bonfire is a flooded river!

We tried to quit
and paid dearly
for free love.

Lived under the sea with our lungs
died to live and woke to sleep
away towards the outward inward reversal.  

Until we realized you and I came together in the middle. We parted and fused our metal.  Made islands come together easier then a boat ride.
Michael Parish Oct 2013
Find me O muse! authenticate the  missing keys.
Sounds unreplacable like black steinways.
Bring me back the rarest  wood to build
The sound I am after.
Wrap my blisters with white hair
from a Mustangs tale.  
Hair wilder then the opus
made from boiling noodles.
Accent my voice with styles
louder then one thousand Mahler Eights.
Show me another way to see Bradens Beauty.
Michael Parish Dec 2023
Who cares if this dies in hell
It's ironic:
Michael Parish Mar 2017
It was not hers nor was it ours.
It was that cry inside our mind
We knew we had it and sung it.
Like  her we wouldnt recall it.
But we remembered what it was
She had cried. It was not the idea of us crying nor her bringing us in like the waves.  She had shown us the thing itself the lyrics screamed  when we first found the sea.
Michael Parish Nov 2015
The carpet was red, sloppy joe red.
Not like ****** noses or baseball blister red.
But reder then the lava from vesiveus and
Reder then two out of three pigs crying wolf.  Redder then Mr kansees face durring ralphs ****** question in *** ed.  Reder then four square.  But not as red as the moment we hugged our kids and told them we had to leave.
Michael Parish Jun 2015
His Japanese maple out side his bird cage sung with his mind.   car wheels brought his leaves with wind he could catch.  We waited like we were what we only needed, a tiny change smaller
And unshrinkable.  He would wake what he flew with not his lit ness or hollow bones he never needed the heaviness of Marow he just needed what he could use nothing anyone could take.
Michael Parish Jan 2016
My pink toes my jerky
Driftwood something yellow
Like hot dogs something nuts
Like a grren home run
Ya my rest
My privacy
My screaming snooze dreams.
Somone spun lip stick
Like ******* or keats
Somebody kised
My drunk asain drunk neck
Somebody killed
Somedy went to their mother

Co piolet tuaila valley
Look left we kicked shopping centers

Bedz wax

He beat the used ****
Well here goes privacy
My red head tok my room room

Ifi could kiss my dad
Tell my mom she runs with seaweed

Howmany got freedom
No body they only hope love got a better *******
Love got a wiser time!
Michael Parish Sep 2014
When I was young
The tv promised us
We would see
What we always wanted
And so my cousin
Kept me awake
To see the first white flake
Hit the ground like
Goose feathers gliding through the sky.  
My mother lit a smoke
And said why do want it to snow.  
And Jared softly whispered  
In her ear like a delicate
Crumb of frost.

" grandma watched us
Out side her window"
And now I get
To watch her
Play in the snow
Michael Parish Sep 2013
Flood every grocery sack with opened up noodle boxes.
Ask the butcher for fresh chinook salmon.
Bother the pharmasists for a secret remedy until he sighs and gives in.
Give the lady yourcalifornia sunshine drivers license when she yawns and
Has to make sure you can buy a bottle.  ( I imangined what happened after we danced.)
She moved my pulse like safeways selectice bold brazillian roast.
I believe her secret recipies for pickled seduction.
Every first isle Leaves  me happily underneath the celings act three popcorn
Until I beg her to hold like fresh melting george forman grilled cheese (what I was looking for a long time from now)
The iron clad grill Whisperes"you have found her missing grocery list".  Why has her bias condemmed possibilies canned tuna fish in oil.  Theres nothing to see insider her locks of eggplant stems.   i can find a alternative way to cash my sacronized invisible receit stamped with red words raincbeck.  I couldnt afford you impulse items.
Michael Parish Jan 2019
One of all Is here
The unwashed blanket
And cups.  
My black cat comes back
Michael Parish Sep 2013
We steal exgirlfriends from the friends of our friends,
I love they way they dance after we get profound
from a friends new bottle of cheap tasting *****.
I love the Dj, he watches me dance with one of his friends


shes getting friendlier on the floor, it makes me feel good.
I feel to good, only my friends know how good I am rite now.
My friends love playing pool we lauph at eachother when
A friend digs a few cigaretts out of the round pocket and we
go outside to watch motorcycles run red lights,
  A few of our friends disapear in thick
smoky plumes
over their windsheilds,
sweet odors,
we eat onion rings
beer battered onion rings.
I lauph. I cant stop! my friends create
atomic fusion out of ketchup
and ranch.  


Its ironic when


we say well always
be friends forever.
Soon or later my friends
and I will loose eachother
In the white rooms of smoke.
One of us has to be the leader.
Michael Parish Nov 2014
In fifteen minutes you've exchanged
Your tire tracks for some one else's oil leak. Their driving off the ramp and
Now you've been blamed for standing
In some on else's ****.
You can leave or you can stay
But remember you live on a tiny island
Where gossip is all the rage.
Michael Parish Dec 2014
Out of her calls
Come calypsos
Defiance
Alas perfections
Immortality
Total sexuality.
Michael Parish Dec 2015
Something will be found which they cannot express.

The crowd in your white lace dress!!

Your mind thorougly smug
Beneath your wet hairs

A kitten of our love

Oh yea it is shadowed green half way

Round a billion christmas trees
White washed with star bleach!

An evning in a wall frozen like apples...

I felt spiders, lime water poising my skin
like Hiroshima,
                                The falling iguanas (fake)
I lied.

Nothing from south america becomes sand like japanese papers.  Another great poem ******!
                                    (2)

     On the airof this busy pitty progress- I squeal electric darkness.
    May i feel
May i feel

May i feel your divine maze of unsucess?

In desserts very clean.    Thefront yard decided much so or pain.  

The street light in desperation was postphoned with recent tears

With recent tears,  thick syrup,  over winter honey.

Seattle dusk is turned to grand piano keys

With goods.          Pages of grim dead fish

Just **** money out of delicate breeding!

She blushes like a ruby chinook!

Now i have picked where to carve
Her unwrapped layers.

Beautiful things are softer then thin clear bones.  

I know the dead are haphazards.

But im not much from another river.

I have ran over lastyears broken tides with snow bringing the scent of melted cheese.

And life is over

But often times with voice there is so much more.

Unreal crys,  richly pay,half a block, red rosy eyes in the haze.

At last im getting a sweet pool of glaciar water- a sweet place to **** out my twisting invention. An excrement i started, imagination from my impulsive instinct.
Michael Parish Nov 2018
Your cotton runs in my hair
A hand is all I want
We rub all nite with ourselves
Dreaming our ugly
Ways we can't keep under control.

My instincts kiss your face
And I moan with my forearm
Hoping to make you give in!

Everything you touch is handed back.
Where both waiting to wake  waiting to kiss.
Even if  its it cold and bad like our grossest breaths.

We make get up and work and try to find excuses to be lazy to work on what we made.  

I love you...
Michael Parish Jan 2015
Green lawns I see you

Changing my mornings

Bronze leaves I need you

Like a fool sees a warning.
