#recoil
I never wanted to hurt anyone,
I just snap, sometimes.
Everyone is talking,
The tv is on,
My shoes are too tight,
I can feel the tag on my shirt,
I can smell my aunts perfume,
And the dinner I couldn't keep down.
Someone taps on my shoulder,
And as a reflex I hit their hand.
Before the words can slip out,
I'm sorry-
Why are you so rude?
Be kind to your mother?
Don't ruin everyone's day!
You have such a rotten attitude!
My chest throbs,
Swelling with a boiling anger,
That will cave in on itself
Or explode on everyone else.
You see,
I never want to be rude,
Disrespectful,
Ungrateful,
Rotten.
I just snap, sometimes.

Everybody needs a *****
No thanks I can create on my own
My idiosyncratic thinking
Is bouncy as the suns atom
Looking for a reason to capitalise
On mind control apparatus
But read on please you
Can become my apprentice
Because this poetry can heal
Dimensions of the brain
A poetic analeptic that heals
When feeling down at heel
The bidirectional pulse wave
Of another person is not a desire
My encephalon is creative
Enough to excite you on the microwave
So adjust the frequency
Even try shortwave to find life
In space because this poet
Has no ***** dependency
My style is cramped with the BCI
Purloin’s my opportunity
To be unique in writing
Being a survivor & spry
The invasion of privacy is deplorable
Taking advantage of the poor you do
You have privacy so should I too
Reading people’s brain is irreconcilable
Don’t need two people to write a pen
I don’t want to be a ***** in the pig sty
And get ***** with other ranks of pigs
Every person’s brain is a personal den

distractions are allowed
even when fire controls your tongue
bewitching in its sway
there’s little space for embarrassment
relentless in its tide
in yearning, you recoil

Recoil. And recoil fast.
She was of simple taste so He shattered her veiny lungs with his spit almost effortlessly.
Under his weight she was stunted, her limbs frozen by the constant of his blarring audioporn.
At every touch she had to brace herself for his embrace.

Ominous silence!
All clocks chime in unison,
Silence recoils quick

Skyscraper,
skyshaper,
skysharper...
Don't mind the fall of ascending
for its gravity does the work for you.
A passageway to this wind tunnel is open now,
yet the recoil is still undone.
Leave the rest to the high-rise end,
and embrace your bound to the above.

What would you
like to recoil?
Our friendship?
Our feelings for
one another?
Well, mostly mine.
Or just nothing?
Personally, I
would like to
forget you completely,
which i think you would
prefer as well,
or you really could
care less.
So let's be nothing,
just as if we had
never met.

I will not write again of you the way I used to do
you've swallowed up enough of me to last you many moons
and if you try to find me in the places you will go
you'll only test your memory against a single soul
it used to be so easy to get lost inside your head
I found so little meaning in the words you never said
it must've been subconsciousness that let me see it all
unraveled my surroundings so there wouldn't be a wall
I think it was a fever that caused both of us to burn
ignited by a dreamer and a sleepy little girl
I've wanted you forever said the maker of the dream
until you have returned to me I cannot fall asleep
I shake as all my weakness leads my body to your door
but I can't lose a battle I'm not fighting anymore
so back to the recoil, hesitation has an end
I'll always be as close to you as I have ever been
