Like plastic soldiers
in a row
A gust of truth
and down they go like leaves

Sailing through this hour glass
the future *mingles
with the past
The writing hand runs out of ink
and IBM runs out of blink

Just
a
state
of
TiME
IF.
IF just fell from the sky
IF that was real
IF wondered why
IF lay there for while
IF began to smile.
Man of science,
Only sees what is there,
Wants to build the fence.

Man of religion,
Out of nothing sees everything,
Wants to envision the fence.

Man of philosophy,
Out of everything sees nothing,
Wants to sit on the fence.
This ******* heart beats thrice per second
Pumping in and pumping out the black tar from my lungs.
If the body is a temple,
Then I have abandoned mine
No one now kneels in this void.
Baptized in whiskey,
Circumcised with a machete.
It’s no coincidence that,
I was born on the full moon
In the midst of a hurricane.
Learning how to eat with no spoon
But this is who I am.
We each have a cross to bare
Mine’s just covered in scalpels
Sharpened bread knives,
That draw wrinkles on my face.
