forever and ever
ah man
what would you do
with all the time in the world
can you fritter away
an eternity
you could befriend
generations
or make an enemy
of them
would you one day
meet the morlocks
or get to see utopia.

I threw a dart
at a board of names
my barber is apparently
the cause of all my pain
was worried it was me
but the dart wouldn't lie
probably.

A hand
The same shade
as space
with stars as fingernails
just floating
or attached to the body cosmos
god or just a dream
who can say
you
if you want
what does such a peculiar mitt do
the same mundane things
as you do
maybe not
who can say
apparently one thing it does
is guide us
not overtly
but it's there
doing things
bad and good
hopefully it has a plan
for our global tableau
that makes up for
the pain of existence
not that it needs one
what true artist needs to explain
all of them arguably.

I knew a holy man
in a sense
I knew him
as a child knows their pastor
I wasn't told the gossip
and we didn't share stories
I knew what I was told
that he spoke the word of god
god was rather dull so far as I could tell
maybe the pastor just had no passion.

it's not crazy
to scratch an itch
might be uncouth
does it become
A mad action
if you scratch
till you bleed
but the itch remains.
if you have to ask

maybe you just need a knife

Some sentences
just jump at you
attack you
for some reason
they inspire you
to do something
not always
something helpful.

outdated defenses
A striking image
that would fall
at the hands
of the modern power
