Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
I saw two cars shake hands
Sitting by my tranquility
I only look forward in class
Because on occasion, I know what’s best for me
Like stone, in trance
Upon this dull dull Earth
There are colors in my head
Remaining still while giving birth
Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
Walk to the fun-house
  Mad-house n’ sad-house
   Arrive a minute too soon.
    Carnival courtyard
      Judge gavel wire barb
       Tortured 12 hours past noon.
        Serial laugh scare
        White faced with green hair
        Schizoid with no idea.
        Plan for the worst one
       The first one, you thirst some
      The rats are feverish and calm.
      Scurry for the front door
     To see day just one more-
   A maze, caught in Lucifer’s palm.
Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
Fringe and urge
Euphoric nymph atop
The sea-rock, persuade

Some sweet courage
Uncertain Hand upon
The castle-sky, unfrayed

“Purge all dry water
Vessel & vein
Collapse open the head of the beast!
Unrelenting pool, claim such null human
Condemn them below godly feet”
Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
Waiting for a train in the courtyard
Wait to go insane I’m gonna go far  
Away from this train in the courtyard
I’ve planned to be in pain only thus far

I’ve been studying
I’ve been swallowed
I’ve been studying
I’ve been swallowed
Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
Righteous monoxide filled the lugs of apartheid
Read the palm, explained what could be
Read the psalm for breathless trifling  

Redefine
Recognize, please
Rewind
Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
I’ll be right
Within
The Isle of Wright
Begin
The sacrificial lamb’s ascension

There we’ll dance
Because
The last of chance
We must
Continue the journey on foot
Paul Rousseau Mar 2012
Chewing on a cigarette
Ordained by speech and greed
In a race to the plateaued cliff
Sir Logos reclaimed the lead

Take back your prize my weary men!
Bask in the Sack of Rome!
There’s women and wine
What’s yours
What’s mine
Not to mention the chest-full of gold
