*atop the Manhattan skyline
her similitude descends as rain
we see her wonderwork
we see her water-standing
her very abandonment of draperies
unassuming and artless
where the heedless moths settle
with bodies of mystic warmth
colored with rose and a dash of flame*

We dream of the stars,
And once we reach them,
We long for home.
We long for others,
And when we meet them,
Wish to be alone.
We aspire to fame,
And once we're popular,
We don't want to be known.
Let's nail our feet to the ground.
Let our desires pull us up,
And once we're stretched thus, be grown.

There is nothing to pinpoint of the strange beast.
Only images,
Blurred and refracted,
Fleeing down a hallway of mirrors.
O maestro of conditions,
It is you they are in love with,
A dark sun unaware of its own orbiting planets.
They are the cause of all of it.
Every comet, every lack
Leaves a trail etched across your sky.
And in their eight eyes
Something seemingly whole becomes distorted,
A piece cut out made separate from the rest.
From this gulf appears a war engine,
A bite of venom,
The desire to **** what they can’t.
Darling of judge and jury,
Blame absolves them of all responsibility.
You are the sole carrier of their weakness.
They fill your skin with their nightmares.
Flesh as fruit
Is strictly poisonous,
Bleaching the sheets of the saints.
Now no more –
Vanished,
Like what was found and then lost.
Like what was married and
Soon divorced.
Still, notoriety is a phantom
Floating in cages,
Star player at a masquerade,
Costumed with your own face.

i wrote a poem
in a book
and left it in the rain
a masterpiece
to say the least
now nothing but a stain
i crossed the
Himalayas
went to the farthest shore
wrote by hand
upon the sand
it's not there anymore
i found a piece of granite
of Mt Rushmore size
broke 2 hammers
and a chisel
carving only lies
o'r the years i prized it
thought it was just grand
but with the wind
erosion
will turn it into sand
*but there is a tablet
that's been there from the start
don't find it odd
i write of God
He's written on my
HEART!*

On the factory line,
I am a product of society.
Manufactured by design,
Structured by a nation of notoriety.
