Poems
Oct 2016
Do you see what I see?
Doctors say he had a black spot on his brain
Black hole?
pirate past?
DMT excess?
Acute exhaustion came calling
we only have one vessel
It shattered some time ago
I feel rapid fire rattle my skull space
The rusty executioner says well here we go again
Half naked in a puddle
giggle into a rain cloud
Collapse
roll with muddied grace
Scream for everyone and everything
Busy minded and disembodied
float the circle
Watch them live
lungs rise and collapse
Over and over
organic machinery
So simple and so necessary
Reflex for lightning
I've seen the aftermath
split limbs onto broken backs
I'm no super hero
lift until gravity obeys
East side complex
paint so new
it smells of progress
Slacks and ties waddle by
Eyes glazed by coffee ground and paid vacation
I mumble into their bubbles
"Who am I to judge another's happiness?"
"I suppose I have been too human in my observation"
"Leave now before it spills onto your nice paint"
I run away laughing
I love an inside joke
Beautiful brick and iron work
but the sign says no thank you
Squeals of joy from a bird cage
but a parrots neck stays broken
A sponge for the sinister
wipe away their foreboding
Cleanliness inside madness makes for a reasonable crutch
Do I make ground for nutrition or for construction?
The permit office succumbs to hysterics
So I lack a proper paper trail
But I have a bag of soul and a ***** of soil
I have every intention of populating without the red tape
These mouths need nutrition
They burn wide from consumption
All I need is a root
All I need is sound
All I need is a little more time
