I feel no kinship with gay culture Yet I am a ******* I feel no kinship with the heterosexuals either Yet I lust after unhinged limbs in the dead of night And I look for a concrete self In unobtainable categories That allure and allude me And 300 people have been sentenced to death in Egypt But I'm thinking about where my **** goes And writing poetry about it
the smoke rings live my lips in lign forming a long oooo that floats dances falls and rises around me and i am wrapped in smoke and dusty memories on this december sunday
The moon is half full tonight My spleen is twice as big tonight And in my horniness I hope for a nondescript passerby To knock on my door And wrestle the sadness away with me No questions asked But no one comes And I wonder how many others feel so hopeless tonight
"I want to write the last banned book" You used to say And you bullied people with your words Your ability for words Your way with words But you never read the silent people Who couldn't find the words That you used so liberally You never tried to translate their Solitude and turmoil And you ended up writing Some of the many Forgotten Strings of words
Somewhere in the path of my life That noise in my head got tuned down I started getting good nights sleep I started to be able to concentrate And control moods better Started being on time for things And I started eating couscous salads And other things middle aged Guardian readers eat The epitome of adjusted
Then you came along And the noise in my head came back And I lost all those things But it's ok It turns out the noise in my head Was music
Threadbare and naked Shattered in ruins in front of you Cold trembling leaves of your autumn To my naive spring Here All I ask Is for your limps To unhinge For you To let me in For me To loose myself To you For however long That may be Take this longing from my tongue And all the useless things these hands have done
If you leave me I will send you poetry And if we marry And you leave me I will send you poetry And alimony And if your new guy beats me I will still send you poetry Your bones could leave this sad world baby And I'd just switch to elegies
I am by the sea And I have left behind A girl too good for me And the sea swells to my libido As it crashes on the earth And bruises the sky And you could write a masterpiece here Or you could just try to forget
We are born with the capacity to love everyone To find anything sexually gratifying We are conditioned otherwise **** condition Seek to deregulate Seek to push Seek to love
I don’t know about those pastoral scenes Those bucolic and primordial endless greens Unspoilt trees and murmuring streams I know the concrete and the pavement Uneven cobblestones with cracks in them With dandelions growing through Only sometimes
I love the later more I’m in love with the concrete behemoths The back alleys of life The gnarled bouncers (unreciprocally) The curious glimpses at weathered flyers on the floor I love the sterile street lights and the worn faces ILLUMINATED by them The ushers and hustlers and cautious taxis The drunk geniuses The night-swimmers The nudists The opinionated Etc
Yet life whittles down these loves for that of the Calculable The Regimented And Controllable Etc
I knew you well And I can picture you right now On your own In your room With only your beauty And be pretty sure that you are just there On your own With only your beauty to keep you company ***** And writhing miserably Sometimes But not mostly And I'd have liked you without your beauty But you are there now On your own With only your beauty But your beauty was nothing in the end Really
My friend has a stain in his **** bowl And it's a bit disgusting But at least it gives you something to aim for And it's always good to have something to aim for Even if it is just a stain In a **** bowl
When you go from being a producer to a consumer everybody knows you’re going to have to dance to the producers beat you CONSUME education you CONSUME your individual style you CONSUME yourself because you are a brand
Your anatomy laid bare for me Your silhouette in the dim light And other things that can make a good man Unreasonable
Door closed Locking out the perfect faces on the billboards Shielding two more from the broadcasts of unobtainable lifestyles As our souls speil, soar and reel in the dark As we descend into the milky cosmos As the space between two sheets is filled with love
If you say I sound bitter Well, I'm not your baby sitter I can't tell you that Eden awaits in the clouds That the perfect one Is out there And so forth
We have to sift through the shadows To find the light my friends
It's crazy how you can be at the right place at the right time And become a millionaire Or the wrong place at the wrong time and die In a gutter And how arbitrarily these people are chosen And how many things we can invent To make it all seem like it makes sense
The blues is hot on my heels But if I keep travelling it stays a step behind And if I drink and smoke it hides in the shadows And sometimes when I listen to music It invades me And finds a good spot And sits comfortably For a while But then it finds me again Because man is made to suffer
The man who had all the time in the world For whom the clocks stopped ticking Didn't know what to do with himself And soon enough Not an amount of time you can measure But soon enough He prayed for death And to have less time
The baby Who was born with all knowledge in his head Went straight for the razor And cut this whole thing short
We two boys together clinging Absinthe drinking Paradise garage dancing Old people alarming Tower top gazing Hands clutching Discordant steps searching Sound of you falling Giovanni's room emulating Stop the lift kissing Separated Then returning And turning Swinging Dancing 2-stepping Laughing Crying In Bars Clubs Roofs Rooms Corridors Parks Shops Seats Cinemas Streets And then returning Hands clasping Lips locking On our mattress Fulfilling our foray
