life is a light bouncing
to and fro
re and de-flected
not often respected
do you like what you see?

to whom do you preach when it's all only you?
can you convince one young man he were two?
convincing conniving confounded connections
reordering words and thoughts in directions
you might not have thought until push went to shove
if the shoe fits it will fit like a glove

but from my verbose vernacular illusions
we come across and throw out our new found conclusions
for order was out there and the going was tough
born into smoke and we're gone in a puff

why turn my eye
if happy to see
our easy through and between

learn of pain
use your breath
so they must give out
that same nature


he makes by hand
the world
the truth

more gain
you grow
from who
I'd know

I made the neighbors move,
it must have been my feet.
stomped around a bit too much
they've run off down the street.

man upstairs no longer cares,
he's senile for the sound.
landlord is out, have no doubt,
for the rent he'll be around.

I made the neighbors move,
It certainly had to be.
could it have been my voice
that caused them all to flee?

I know they always talk,
of my ever constant noise.
I have not yet met them,
yes I've never had the choice.

I made the neighbors move,
you know it to be true.
they did not want to leave,
they simply never do.  

I hear them leave for work,
or school so they can learn.
I made the neighbors leave,
don't think they will return.

not once have I seen them,
just when did they move in?
where exactly do they stay,
and tell me where they've been.

I made the neighbors move,
I swear they're never here,
so don't think to move in,
I'll make you disappear.

as the hunger churns,
I swallow my nerves
no time left
though I yearn.
in a pickle,
pain preserves

Nightly they fought featured ferocious
splitting the hedge, persona mitosis
sit on the edge, Arizona atrocious  
basking it baked in the asphalt's steam
tasking in takes no faults it seems
tightly wound taught in fortified seams
consumed with backrooms they live in their dreams
closer to closure without words being said
exposure mediocre as they burn up the bed

The days seem to scatter
in your refracted gaze
I always seem to shatter
and find myself ablaze
but all seems too tired to taunt
everlasting swill, I'm ill and gaunt
nothing I speak but of your praise
I reach for your ending
I bend for your beach
but never seen your shore
tides turned, I've learned
we are
nevermore
