sun and moon stand side-by-side in the great starless sky of this Monday Sunday Tuesday workweek with ambulance stoplight caution I leap from crevice to crack of the ***** cement walkways that tear across snowy fields staring at the world around me - faces as solemn unreserved apathetic mirrors of nothing in their corresponding souls pair them off in dialogues of the triumphs of the fabled GPA - its ********** growling dripping fangs embedded in their minds since sloppy second-hand birth and I cry out and I cry alone for these are the summers winters springs falls etc and so on of my discontent for I am a man among gods gods of capitalism and communism  and social disorder and bureaucracy gods of music and poetry and written spoken words and fashionability and the only false evidence of such godly aspirations remain on my body as fading bitemarks on my wrists from when once I tried so valiantly to tear my technicolor blood from these incontinent arms but even in such times as those there was no salvation but for yellow-staining death sticks clutched between shaking fingers and melting shots fired down raw fleshy throat in rapid secession the gods I hold so dear have left me for whatever come what may in these places of my mind filled with words and thoughts and images of your everything thrashing against nothing

Winter Solstice
sun and moon stand side-by-side in the great starless sky of this Monday Sunday Tuesday workweek with ambulance stoplight caution I leap from crevice to crack of the ***** cement walkways that tear across snowy fields staring at the world around me - faces as solemn unreserved apathetic mirrors of nothing in their corresponding souls pair them off in dialogues of the triumphs of the fabled GPA - its ********** growling dripping fangs embedded in their minds since sloppy second-hand birth and I cry out and I cry alone for these are the summers winters springs falls etc and so on of my discontent for I am a man among gods gods of capitalism and communism  and social disorder and bureaucracy gods of music and poetry and written spoken words and fashionability and the only false evidence of such godly aspirations remain on my body as fading bitemarks on my wrists from when once I tried so valiantly to tear my technicolor blood from these incontinent arms but even in such times as those there was no salvation but for yellow-staining death sticks clutched between shaking fingers and melting shots fired down raw fleshy throat in rapid secession the gods I hold so dear have left me for whatever come what may in these places of my mind filled with words and thoughts and images of your everything thrashing against nothing
