Main witness
to human’s madness
of fish in schools
and fowl murderers

I lift my gaze into the sky
Golden God
to shed some light…

…Stabs me repeatedly in the eyeball.

The way to unknow
to the nth degree
in retrograde infinity
is currently: unknown.

Just one thing
or
Everything?

We're stronger than we think
in the moments
We're not thinking

This little lover went on a date
This little lover stayed home
This little lover had a honey to cuddle
This little lover had none

This little lover vowed never to love
ever again
all the way home.

A timeless river kept a clock.
tic. toc. tic. toc.
It had the nerve to wonder how
tic. toc. tic. toc.
its flow was ever interrupted
tic. toc. tic. toc.
by every pebble.
tic. toc.
by every rock.
tic. toc.

fume-per-fume
It all began
when the alien artisan
farted
a masterpiece
substance
called
It

what was the question?

Poetry
expressed with words
will never attain
Poetry
expressed through living.

I,
I write,
I write words,
I write words inside...
I write words inside isosceles!
I write words, inside.
I write words...
I write?
I

"Had it only been me
I wouldn't dare voice the issue.
Now that you started crying
Would you please pass a tissue?"

(take a deep breath and sound all the phonemes out loud, continuously, moving from one to the next at a comfortable pace as you read the corresponding line internally: u, i, e, əʊ, a)

u: Liquescent hurricane pouring through my lips

i: Swarm of ballerinas moonwalking on my cheeks

e: Effervescent cavers interrogating my throat

o: Yawning black hole pulling into my mind

a: This body's answer to my every question

"So...how is it?" (looking up at him)
"The wallpaper? or the *******?"
"...both."
"Well, one's kind of sloppy. The other's kind of perfect."
"My thoughts exactly."

we have a thing
a living thing
we don’t know what else to call it
it’s unlike any living thing
that life did ever posit

it surfaced on a liquid night
our heads were swimming in the stars
and once back down on solid ground
the thing was sleeping
at our feet

now it tails us everywhere
hides inside a gaze
feeds on time,
heaving hips,
musings on a page

it grows; glows
invisibly
with each ******* sigh
untangles every simple thought
a human could desimplify

we're told the thing is ours to keep
can’t be robbed or gifted
can’t be sheltered, nonetheless
from hungry eyes
from destiny

I woke up this morning.
the thing is nowhere
to be found

what if moon can see our crimes
from that far out
night's yellow eyes
watching in the day

what if day lights a candle for night
to blow out
put its lover to sleep

what if love is a hunter
we the prey
skinned, prepared
for master of reason

what if reason has the keys
to the locks on your cells
would you set you free

what if freedom is a book
that contains one truth

what if truth is a lie
death allows
life

what if life is defiance
of time
against forever

what if you can catch forever
in chains around your wrist
divide
until too weak to resist

what if forever
like us
is only weak when its divided

The boy who fell
down a manhole
running from time
on memory lane
Left in his wake
a gaping void
and the unbearable stench
of a sewer-side note.
