I threw myself at the sun
and right over a ledge
I thought it needed a hug
might have been a dream
or a prophecy
can't remember if I fell.

Who is that creature
I can hear the calm voice
but can't see the body
how can you be still
in these shaky days
are you calm
cause you're joking
are you an actor
are you a fool
can I be one?

small accidents
mean so little
in the grand scheme
unless you keep
a tally in mind
of how many
small accidents
have happened
you get a pretty big number
does that mean
they're suddenly worth tears?

Wander where you will
and sow discord
for a reason if you will
for fun if you want.

Like ever
What to do
When
Armageddon Arrives
Loot
******
Spend the day
With family
Just read a book
I don't know
If it happens
I'll think of something.

by the law
with the law
I abuse you.

Throwing rocks
and damnations  
at the crowd
all because of anger
it's a big crowd
full of all sorts
most were just
swept into the auditorium
but eh dam them to.

I saw you today
For the first time
The hundreth time
But the first time
I really saw
Dam
you are not
Who I thought
Suppose that's my problem.

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

what story is truly new
if you look closely
you'll find the answer
is quite few
from Gilgamesh
to Superman
and non fiction
shares that quality
ages ago
people asked
"why am I"
"is that wrong"
"what comes next"
I wonder if well have answers
according to the textbooks
probably not.

As all hoosiers must
I have been
To church
When I was
But a lad
So young my
Objections
were regarded
As jests
I was taken to church
Many times
Did I sit through sermons
And I don't get it
The love some feel
The spirit I just
Ain't got it
I had a suit
I had combed hair
I sang the hymns
But all I felt
Was agitated.

thanksgiving is coming
a day of feast
a day of thanks
a day similar
to Christmas
in that family's gather
to drunkenly dispute
all manner of things
plus football
woo!

humans are trying
what is
is so debatable
I sometimes pray
robots will put us all down
do we deserve that
have we earned that
is the person next to me
neutral good or evil
humanity is
humanity
is
certainly something.

you know your side
it's all one big violent game
we try to change the rules
we can't even decide
on the name.

Honor can't be forsaken
such an important form
of invisible currency
I fear the only solution
is pistols at dawn.

if it isn't real
it can't hurt you
but words do
thoughts can
things with no matter
can matter a great deal
seems unfair.

It was smashed
The fragile pieces
Scatter and splatter
All across the floor
The sound was heard
Maybe not by the world
But definitely throughout
The wonderful prying
Neighborhood
But It no longer flickers
So that's a win.

They have
An Exclamation Point
how can we beat that.

we do
we learn
from our mistakes
the fittest learn fast.

Stop that
hmm no
Stop that
oh okay
R r really
no
I want to
kinda really
but
no.

You look bad
Purple bruises
And a black eye
A sword through your chest
Gashes along your arms
How are you not dead
No matter what I do
You stay up
No matter what others do
You stay up
Why is that
Don't answer that
it was rhetorical
I don't care how
I'm gonna get a chainsaw.

I don't really worship
I just need
A scapegoat
Something
To take my
Many accusations
And not try
To refute them
Sadly such
A self-aware
Religion crumbles
Quite quickly and
I'm left with my own
Accusing voice
Ringing in my
Silly skull.

Toss the present
into a box
so the future
can laugh at the past
or feel like archaeologists
which is more clinical
maybe learn something new
like what fools we were
and how similar we were to them
might be something worth selling
who can say.

Well they're gone
You said leave me be
And leave they did
They weathered your rage
And your sour moods
As long as they could
But even those closest
Can take only so much
Why did you do it
Are things really better
Maybe you just
Didn't know what else to do
Maybe you can replace them
Or get them to return
But no those bridges are burned
And I doubt your strong enough
to rebuild on your own
Ah well
What are you gonna do.

half other
in some books
it goes down
as simply
not the truth.

fay folk
in the legends
regular folk
from what I've seen
tie-dye with vital red
savage minions
rushing about
with such naïve purpose
maybe maybe I do you a disservice
maybe you understand more than I did
God knows I can't ask
no good reason to prove
what you might suspect.

Thrown
with a prayer
the numbers will decide
how the night will end
will a rabbits foot help?

living in a hometown full
of haunting memories
you may want
to seek the exorcist
in the bar
mind you
you probably shouldn't.

People do such
Silly things
They slaughter
And they maim
They burn
And they accuse
Then they look
At these actions
And call them
Heroic or
If their forward thinking
They say such things
Are inhumane
Can an action
Done by humans
Be inhumane
Such silly things
Humans do.

If at first
you despise it
Give it time
Before you know it
You'll love it
It gets easier
After the first time
Soon you'll be a pro
So don't worry
It's just
An acquired taste.

that dam bloodhound
hunted me down
and set to chewing
on my spirit
twenty bucks
says it chokes
Ha
i'm kidding
that mutt has eaten
far grander souls than I
without a hiccup.

I reached into
my skull
to fetch
A thousand words
I got a handful
and a headache.

where did everything go
where once stood
such fine architecture
there is only rubble
red dots the land
and the lady moon
just looks down
on the creatures
she sees
you just know
that arrogant sun
will hear about this
in the morning
and those celestial rivals
will laugh and laugh.

I tried drawing god
realistically
it wasn't very believable  
perhaps a better hand
could've done a better job.

sarcastically
a parody
obviously
if you sounded less
than absolutely serious
it wouldn't have been funny
unless you weren't kidding
then you're scary maybe tragic
still kinda funny.

I don't remember
I really don't
Is what I would
Like to honestly proclaim
But I can only
Spew it as a lie.

crawlin up and down
my person
I can feel it
but I cant see it
its dam uncomfortable
but supposedly
if I take this and that
I can battle the invisible menace
I will feel better soonish
if it doesn't **** me.

One of those Things
that
just happens
It feels intentional
Like it's karma
But I'm not sure
What I did wrong.

fuzzies buzz
little benign
looking things
those fuzzies
nothing like bees
more like roaches
infesting the mind
they don't want out
simple things fuzzies
they dine on drive.

as that
the unknown
can you assume the worst
if it's predictable
without that extra jolt of surprise
can it be the worst possibility.

A worker collapsed
move the body
send in the next
it happened again
rinse and repeat
till we run out
when will we run out
no time soon
we offer minimum wage.

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.

They say that like it's a bad thing
Like once upon a time
No one wanted things
Maybe there was
A simpler time
But then again
they couldn't
Have those things
Does that still count.

Actions speak louder
Than words
But words
To be heard
Must be spoken
And speaking
Is an action
One with
Great potential
Saying the right thing
To the right people
At the right time
Can make
All the difference
In the world.

once upon a time
these folks were chained
locked up tight
in a deep dark cave
but one got free
he maybe she
left the cave
and found the light
awed they felt
everyone should see this
so they returned
and
got killed
strangled by chains
but their corpse inspired others
so
it wasn't all in vain

unseen ropes
connect them
they have no weight
no width
or so it seems
folks just walk through
it is no bouncers rope
yet it has an effect
when they are slashed
people notice.

You're so full
Of sweet sugary words
I am amazed
Your teeth
Haven't rotted away
But no they're just
As shiny and white
As they ever were
Good for you.

Not so long ago
it was thought
that you could
bleed away sickness
and technically
it worked since
dead people
can't get sick
oddly this idea
that bloodshed
is a good cure
for any problem
is still around
I couldn't say why.
