Just say ew
I drank the alcohol, expecting something. / boy was I let down, when I got nothing. / No silly laughter, or grand horror story.

riding passed
Wind in my face, skateboard wheels careening toward my destination with a fervent pace, so many groceries on my mind. My music blaring within my ears, filling the world with some gift wrapped three minute long purpose for being. No one else is in my world as I roll along the concrete sides, just enjoy the beauty of the moment. Then tragedy strikes like a viper in the dark, the spot in my mind that I manifested with wood and wheels and speed, all set to a musical soundtrack is shattered with a single blow. Not a pebble or unseen ledge but you. You come into vision, my thief of heart and soul, my dreamtime tormentor, my love that won't or can't subside. Trailing behind you of course is whatever you've replaced me with, some superior person in appearance or attitude. As I roll ever nearer, all can do is imagine our perfect conversation, you know the one... That one makes you fall in love with me again. but as our bodies close in on each other, almost until I could grab you and kiss you with the supreme passion I still feel, my imagination melts back into the part of the brain that keeps me sad and all I do is make a fake smile in your direction give a half hearted waive and continue passed, trying not look back at you and the person beside. / The store I find, has an excellent selection of wine and spirits. I pick one, douse myself in it's forgetful qualities and sleep without dreams. For once leaving you out of where you should no longer reside.

Beach Bum
take off your shell, wash off the dirt that is layered upon your skin / come out of the cave, show us what’s within / the expertly built walls that surround your lake of life

I Have a Sore Nose
Have you ever sat until some part has gotten really numb? / It happened to me yesterday to the left cheek of my bum. / At first I didn't notice until I tried to up and stand.

God's off his meds again / Guess he was tired of trying to fit in / Now he stands at the corner of 44th and vine

Scar.
I always believed scars were so beautiful, / until I became one. / A walking, breathing, talking scar - an unchanging reminder of what was and what shall never be again.

Nothing Much
Weary traveler among'st a dusty world. / Emptiness and form dancing, / As if they stand for something.

City Street Corner
On a cold winter day you could of found him here / Standing on the corner of 44th and Vine holding out his cup to anyone that comes near / "Brother can you spare a dime"
