I rigorously make the **** deal itself
to the stolen wine bottle.

but ******* and bukowski ... what i already filled.

Any genius left is bygone by just gone.

and no one is left to envision.

its a murr..

there's nothing left, I say.

you got a cigarette in jail.
and I smoked one on my birthday.
in Atlanta.
but now I smoked one all by myself.
neither tastes better than the other. but if I'm in jail on my birthday again I will let you know which is sweet,
because so far I can't taste anything

evil lives and evolves
all of our lives
to love.

evil always lives
and evolves our vile lives
to love.

i am spread
over the vastest of expanses.

and the body that i cant quite use
is more moved by my wind
than from anything within.

baby too crazy but crazy enough.

the passion feeds regret
then quiet.
the heart is left as a landscape
of dumb colors and clarity.
a reflection is a laughing image
because nobody is there;
there is nothing anywhere.
life never made a sound.
it was a mute portrait
with whom you talk.

men's heads in cages
she was born thousands of years ago
what are the men
trying to keep out?

when i sleep in your head
all the animals are dead
and id make it a song
but its a quilt of skin instead.
and i give back to my church
but they think that they are thieves
theyre on the job while i marry
writing checks for alimony.
my three children bury me
inside of all their tombs
and they pass out and know
that im an animal too soon..

fallin asleep at the wheel
and i wake up with no cash
gettin high on garbage
gettin drunk on trash.

ill turn your kid into a puppet
with a color t.v.
for a mind with eyes for buttons
salty broken screens

the umbilical chord
is plugged into the wall
and its drippin wet with surgery
playin a scene
of dead vets workin
on their own bodies
lookin for the coins they swallowed
to pay the fare for the ferry.

your genius is so stupid.

theres a person
stuck in the wall
of the old abandoned building.

the only time im ever dressed up
is when im doing laundry.
so, i look really good
while i clean my clothes.

a dog
died in a fire.

every word you speak
is a monolith
built by
perfect desert.

it casts shadow
so narrow
you are in
constant orbit
with the sun.

ive spoken to you before.
your mouth catches it all
and ***** it in
somewhere into your purse.

the more horse meat she consumed
the more keratin she produced.
she will modify
ceaslessly
until the race is dead.
beaten and broken-legged.
panting and surfing the air
for a quick malignant breath.

im still young enough
to build my own casket.
still smart enough
to build a test
that only i can fail.
still enough
to watch myself
pass by.

the humming in my chest,
the doctor said,
is rock-n-roll guitar.

life is just
this foreign object
which i
must

insert
into my ****

in order
to find any pleasure
in it.

i cant believe
ive been a
fictional character
this whole time.

a girl rides by on a bicycle.
the sun is stuck in her hair.
a piece of it falls
and shatters in the road.

the concious observer
makes the world go round.

the dog stands
so still
at the
half open door
but im
frozen
and cant
let him in.

i thought it was music
but i was talking to myself.

its never an edge.
its always an edge.

i think the moon
is full of ****.

i just found out,
                that nobody died
                                         today..

          i need a

                 moment
                                          alone.

the costume is a veil

life is a play,
   and when the curtain falls

well,
      youre dead.

there is no audience.
there is no performer.
there is only the empty room
that the dead dog lives inside of.

a spicy cheeto
fell on my *****
but i still ate it.

i shouldve eaten
the cheeto instead.

i know
im in
the middle of nowhere somewhere

if i could go there
maybe i could
find myself.

The wooden chair,

is painted before me.

Hey, i wanna
cut off my fingers
and string them into a necklace
and wear it
but youll have to
do the clasp for me
cuz i wont have any fingers.

And ill never take it off
cuz i wont be able to.

dithyramb...dithyramb..dithyramb.
dithyramb.dithyrambdithyramb
di­thyrambdithydithyrambdithyramb
ramdithramdithramb ramb. DITHY-DITHYRAMB DITHYRAMB! RAMB RAMB DITHY DITHY,. RAMB!!!

left to my own devices
i am a crook:
stealing the mind
and the good will
of the audience i am
until it is willing to **** me
and rob me of my own,
but the show must go on.

an octopus.
its soul lodged deep in its throat.
an arm sent down
to seek and retrieve.
another forced down,
annoyed by its attempt
at a spritual quest,
chokes until the other 6
are a set of limp waste.

the soul melts back into the water
and the salt.

the body becomes
no more than sand.

the color of a rock;
predators see,
but know:
they are no match
for the true enemy.

the pupil is the light.

i put the self
into the jar
on the table.

but it sings
so loud
from longing
that it breaks.

i wonder
if ill ever clean it up.

from under the table
a child begs
and pleads
for someone to make
majesty
or
sense
of its fantasies.
but its fantasies will have to do.
everything outside of
the tables skirt
is so preposterous,
so devoid of character.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved
than those who falsely believe
they are free."

your thoughts
are being broadcast.

four squares
will make a square
on the sea
or in the sky.

cram em in
get em fat
so they cant leave.

cook em up
and serve em
to the next rush.

the tortured
entertain the slaves

built to work

built to build graves.

when the lights
come through our sky
we'll try
to leave our bodies behind.

i dont want to  get my soap
*****
so i stopped using it.

a rain frog
sits on my window
and i wonder
if its me.

a leaf comes and lays
next to me
but im not
in the mood.

it looks at me
like im a god
and i know
i could be more kind
but im heavy,
so heavy inside.

if i could die i would
but i only change
into other things.

ive been too many leaves to care.

my soul is too old
to remember
everything it has learned.

there are tue things.
asymmetrical and symmetrical.
this makes the whole asymmetrical.

i live in the plexiglass
separating the people
fom the snakes.
the elephants.
the people.
