not  the prophylactic kind, nor the rubber kiss road tire kind. but the rubber of bodies old and young, tired and tense, young and flexible migrained, played & splayed, pain paralyzed, soothed by cherubic fingertips oiled with, anointed by, a-custom cream of tenderizing aloe and gentling, kind loving quieting & shushing tho mine own temples, raging, feverish, combobulating as words spill as ********* and then *she sleepy whines: why did you stop rubbing me?* and for a sleep deep, she leaves me, going unanswered but happily nonetheless boy be typing The End

My Primary Role, Rubb'er (To sleep, perchance to dream; aye, there's the rub)
You’re a primary color, The brightest of the bunch. Even if your shape is Slightly off from circular, Your wedges make, the best bitter smile.

Through a veil, I see it all. A building big, a building small. Dressed up in its qualities -- An experience my sense recalls.

*Oh, Abernathy How long has it been Since we left school And went our separate ways? Oh, Abernathy I still think of you And I wonder how you are To this day All the things we used to make All the rules we tried to break And they say that kids will still be kids But, oh, Abernathy The teachers are doing fine They were smiling When I visited them one day And, oh, Abernathy I hope you're doing well Wherever you are Whatever may come your way Oh, the memories I hold dear They have all but disappeared It's both a blessing and a curse Oh, Abernathy My Lawrence, Abernathy I wonder what you're doing To this day There's no need to be upset Please don't sweat this stuff or fret I only want to let you know Abernathy, you're still on my mind I remember your golden hair and your pearly eyes Our friendship will never fade away, I swear Oh, Abernathy Dear Lawrence, Abernathy I just pray to God That you are still okay Oh, Abernathy I always think of you And I wonder how you are To this day*

Oh, Abernathy
This isn't a new story; In fact it's quite old I may have mentioned it before But now this story must be told All through my Primary years All I had was sweat and tears I had no friends and too many fears I couldn't even trust my peers I kept my secrets hidden deep; They began to devour me I tried to talk to somebody, Please oh please, anybody! I had begun to play yard games with kids Who weren't really my friends They used and abused me every day Until I felt like it was the end I blurted it out to them "Stop this, I can't take it! I have Aspergers, ******* Do you know how I deal with it?" They didn't know how I did it They were absolutely speechless Now I regret saying it Till then it was only known by teachers My simple reply To the question I posed them "I don't" And a new level of bullying began Now ****** actually meant something ******** was introduced I regret ever opening my mouth And helping these new taunts be produced! Had to move schools because we were moving house My first term in new uniform, new school and different people I had hoped that moving would get me friends and less enemies But no matter where you go, it seems, people are still evil! I had a crush on a girl that year And she was always taken She swapped boyfriends so fast they called her a **** If I'm not mistaken I wrote her letters, I was too shy to talk And the best bit? She wrote back I kept her letters to this very day But I did not know she would betray! She showed my letters to some guys These guys who used to tease me I only found out through a friend When he said he'd seen the pieces She'd scattered them at the school pond I found a piece hidden in the grass It dawned on me that all her beauty Hid a ******* ******* She knew I went down to the pond I ******* SAID SO, IN MY LETTERS! She didn't feel guilty then I thought that she was better! That friend who told me, by the way I made halfway through the year He is and was an absolute legend, Is my friend Pal Tear Moving on to Year 8 New Year, New Me, right? ******* hell it wasn't First term, and already in a fight! Betrayed again by someone who I had the trust to call a friend Trusting others is one of my flaws So I get stabbed again and again Year 9 comes around People look but do not speak There is no reason to diss me I'm no longer shy, submissive and weak Instead they **** my anger As I found out in Year 10 Thought the torture was over That it wouldn't happen again! Food scraps thrown at me Names called from afar I pretend I just don't care But it's all a great big façade I started to ponder The sharpness of blades And how easy it would be to cut myself And try and replace the pain For a pain I could tolerate That in good time I would love The blade would be my bestest friend When I'd had enough And so it came to be For I got set in bad ways These old habits die rather slowly I've been trying, for so many days I made a promise to a girl A girl I loved, now all is neutral That I would try not to cut That a blade is, by far, more than that kind of useful I'm still trying to stop To this very day But although I do it very little I still get by with my wicked ways

pasty white ghosts haunt the corpse blue cornfields of Iowa whispering wisps of smoke shimmering shadows of the past setting the pace for the rat race that is the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election senators billionaires doctors frauds liars fools campaigning for selection in an archaic and outdated form of governance witness the spectacle the orgastic worship of solipsistic oligarchs bloated by their own sycophantic rhetoric it's just another form of all-American entertainment each orator's charismatic adage froths forth from a throat like a grave pragmatism throttles hope as we stoke the fires of self-indulgence and neglect the fact that we acquiesced as another deceiver stole votes we're choking on placebo pills every ballot cast is another act of apathy escapism pleading vainly for a savior to rescue our sick society but these hands didn't evolve so we could collect a representative to lead us blindly into one fiasco after another these fingers penned   humanity's symphonies and these calloused palms have toiled for years under an apathetic sun we learned to make love using our fingertips and with these fists we could chart a new path but only if we raise them in defiance our only chance is leaderless resistance

She walked around in a perfect dress, the beautiful angel we wanted. Look at little miss innocent stroll around, what if I told you she’s not as innocent as she sounds. Everyday, she hangs up her bag, and goes up to him and laughs. He sits there alone, hanging his head down, crying to himself. She stands there, in front of him, his face in her shadowed self. He was bullied, everyday by the girl they proclaimed to be an angel, he was crying, and wanted to get away, and wrote in the dirt, “somebody **** me”. She went to school, in her dress, and saw a hand gesture, she showed her friends, they all giggled too, some reason the boy liked her too. He wanted to show her, his affection and prove his love indeed. He went to her, with a big little grin, and let out the words. She laughed in his face, giggling away, it was him, she found it, beyond hilarious, everything this boy said, as if he was a joke. Somebody **** me, somebody **** me, droning on in this boy’s mind, somebody, out there, punch me down, pull me down, deeper into the ground. She walked around in the ***** clothes, crying away, to the love songs, she looked at her phone, another message, “Go die ***** She saw why she shouldn't of rejected him, she was the bully, and now she is the one in the pressured world, she goes to him, in her thoughts, and apologizes for the lies she once told. I now wish, if I knew him now, I would cry and apologize.
