What a Disney shape
life is no circle
life has corners
for hiding
and pointy bits
for stabbing
not sure what shape
that is
maybe
a sharpened triangle.

Not much
Then anxiety
Then waves
Of apathy
Take me under
I have mediocre lungs
So I can only stay submerged
For a little while
I tried to stay longer
But nature took over
Ah that desperate
need
For life
And I felt anxiety
Once again.

Technically
It can never change
Yet it changes
All the time
From mind
To mind
And book to book.

It's too bad
that they exist
as if people weren't
dangerous enough
with just sticks and stones
recall them all as if
they're here
in tiny hands
in determined hands
and in shaky hands
they're here.

My security  blanket
Is full of anthrax
Not sure when
Or how that happened
Maybe it's always
Been killing me
I wish I hadn't noticed.

they closed the library
because of you
so I had to dine
with the creatures
I don't know
who you were
but I know
how you left.

full of sunlight
till late in the day
when the sun
starts creeping away
the curtains fall victim
to the shadows
slowly but surely
certainly no one
will see in.

the perfect device
that always points
to the truth
annoying then
thats it's so hard
to translate what it means
no wonder
everyone prefers
A GPS.

pain and suffering
on the stage
i'm no sadist
but I dare say
it is quite riveting
is that so wrong
it's not even real
well not for me.

To be honest
I don't think
we will ever meet again
at least not in this world
perhaps in the next
if there is an eternity
to wander about
we'll stumble upon each other
not sure what I would say
or what you might
which of course is why
I don't just
look for you here.

Ha silly
How benign
You do appear
But it's not true
You are quite savage
Too bad for those
Who knew too little.

It says everything
I wish It'd shut up
I would wear another
But alas I may not
Due to employee Contracts.

Thinking on the city
of ash and death
I realize things
really could be worse
I could be frozen
in my worse moment
instead
of moving through them.

The library
Is a place to read
A place for peace
Please don't
Sit down and weep
between the shelves
That's what
The dmv is for.

Just keep talking
eventually you'll
start making sense
of course by then
nobody will be listening.

progress so often
takes forever
a little change
year by year
until you look back
see things as how
they used to be
and you realize
all things considered
that was actually
pretty dam fast.

No
i'm pretty decisive
well
I think I am
no one
is certain of everything
probably.

don't just
toss away
what you earn
it may be all
honey and wine today
but those days never last
keep something saved
for when it rains.

you know where
I currently reside
it's the same place as always
I never move my perch is safe
so my abode need never move
you may be like the wind
always on the move
just for movements sake
but I am stone
as eternal as anything can be.

your system is madness
and I can't interpret it
where is your user manual
or a pamphlet at least
these errors almost certainly
could have been avoided
you will receive
a negative review on yelp.

that paranoid ramble
that angry mutter
that sad sigh
is that all me
well
you're the only one here
it could be ghosts
or the devil
but it was
probably just you.

sad rings
surround those
sapphires in your head
maybe some makeup
would clear that up
bad advice perhaps
but unfortunately
i'm all you have
for counsel.

Defeated by nobody
Wasting your strength
If only  you had put
More thought
Into this.

Kind of a pain
Kind of wonderful
Kind of all sorts
Of things really
Stranger than fiction
When it isn't
Excessively mundane
It could use
A bit more levity
And perhaps equality.

Do we have one
A screen
Right in front
We just can't see
With someone
Lurking behind it
Enjoying popcorn
And our lives?

I need your attention
when you look away
I go somewhere else
somewhere lifeless and sad
so just keep your eyes
feasted on me
and i'll appear to be
whatever
you want me to seem to be.

The ancient  cave folk
Started a fire
And despite
The ignorance
They lived and
Breathed that fire
Is still going
Maybe we can
Put it out.

An old memory
of beautiful music
tainted by the knowledge
that the skill was learned
under duress.

beware it
for within
lurks danger
dangerous danger at that
you should take
a friend along
when you traverse it
two heads are occasionally
better than one.

people are tough
and yet soft
were all literally
made of the same stuff
yet some seem like iron
while others could well
be made from cloth
life and nature
probably drink
when they craft us.

I drew a sun
and you saw
a goat
admittedly
I've no talent
for art work
but I have to wonder
if you just
willfully
misunderstand me.

get with the times
you're ideas
out of another age
will get you
only scorn
unless you're dealing
with weirdos that
are in to retro things.

Anxiety and fear
such a happy couple
they make their home
in your place of strength
and make you such
a wretched coward
unless you excise them
before they get comfortable
but they're a sneaky pair
they often fail to notify
before they take up residence
you could
remove them
once they've roosted
in theory.

The social tango
an important skill
in almost all
walks of life
alcohol can help
you fake it but
only for a time
in the end
you either got it
or not.

Inhale the joy
that's all around
and just be happy
it's like flipin a switch
one second you're blue
the next you're
A small sun
or so it's claimed
personally I tried
and got a headache.

they mean nothing
to the dead
they may
mean something
to the living
either way they better
be good ones
if you want to avoid
the mob.

I have
Young eyes
Inexperienced
Eyes indeed
So why am I
Such a cynic
I've done so little
And seen only a bit
Maybe I have
Bleak genes
Maybe it's because  
I Know too much
Or it could be
I know too little
And am rather
Self involved
No probably  
Just my generation.

I'm no
entomologist
so I don't know
if you have veins
but if you do
treachery runs
in them at least
according to the stories.

the sun sets
when you wish it to
not everyone knows that
they follow
the designated times
for day and night
it may not be healthy
to let it set early
but in the end
it's up to you.

quite handsome
with a bouquet
for all the ladys
and some of the men
most are overjoyed
to hear you're
heading to town
chasing away lady winter
especially if they have
no allergy's or memory
of those pyro tendencies
you possess.

Run like the wind
enjoy the freedom
while you can
cars are faster
and one day
you will be corralled
neigh you may say
but tis true I reply.

I curse
your optimistic soul
when i'm down
you try
to cheer me up
your morning person smile
almost makes me grin
and when my
natural negativity
one day gets
the best of you
I may just cry.

Knock Knock
It's grim
here to say hi
a bit earlier
than expected
I wonder why
was it something
you did
or just bad luck
either way
you'll be opened up.

I'm not exact
so rather
than go under
i'll go over
it might
be a touch
dramatic
but
the viewing audience
loves drama
so that's okay.

You touched
my soul and
truth be told
i'm not sure
which of us
was more disturbed.

put on
your sun mask
otherwise people
will stare and
break out the pity
don't worry
if your mask is cheap
no one will call
that bluff because
no one really wants
to know.

No good deed
Goes unrewarded
You brought illumination
To ancient humanity
And in return you got
Tied to a rock to be
An eternal last meal
Maybe you should
Have sided
with the titans.

Love tis like a brick
You aught not
Bludgeon someone
With it
But instead
Use it to build.

You have it right
cause in the end
it's the most important thing
when everyone else
is being too human
you can rest assured
that you're better
no matter your actions.

I have no brother
well technically
I have two
but i'm not sure
if they really count
they're my dads kids
and i'm my moms son
should they mean
anything to me
They could be dead
for all I know.
