#scheme
Every dog has its day A black cat just uses another life Living on the edge as sharp as a knife One man’s luck is another’s misfortune Another good deal might be extortion Everybody’s living to a scheme What can we get, what can we sell Which way to heaven, which way to hell Every angel gets their wings All the good deeds, what do they mean What can we remember about those gone Is it the good things they did Is it the times we had as a kid The devil always has to get his due It’s the good that we all must do Sleepy days are the best to lay Black cats are best left to stray 2018

Remember they're monsters Not just in theory, but really It's no longer about the evidence (If it ever was...) But a call to collusion They want you silent Unless you recite after them So they can write papers On pipe dreams

thin. paper thin. here is a bonus. (or is it bogus?) the order of release. the order of dead pages gliding in the wind. advertisements for adopting a lonely asteroid or building fire extinguishers in your spare time. the rain of acceptance comes with dark clouds of shipping and handling. just check the appropriate box and send it in. send it in now!

And I have severed the bridge, The bond of the astral soul To this corporeal form. Similarly feeling, so far From all that is tangible. What I am, I don't know And the point, in the grand scheme. A stream of air, a speck of dust Tiny particles without any meaning

Crafty Waters lured the Captain To the middle and the deep. in the height of the hurricane, It proceeded to speak. "What do i matter to the birds who exist between sky and tree? These fish swim in my currents, yet are unaware of me. But for you, oh captain, I'm everything you need me to be! You have your ship, and your men, and your lives at my mercy. Today you will learn you can't control the sea." The dastardly Waters led him to believe, In exchange for his life, his crew would survive, brief cessation from the culling winds, and unabiding tides. The captain decided then and there To make the sacrificial dive. But before he made a splash, the hurricane came back   and claimed his crew. A Sage Seagull swooped down saying," dear Captain, those Sneaky Waters lied to you." The trusting captain stranded, his ship capsized, despair in his voice, to the clever gull he cries. "stoic grey winged beast, with blackened,beady eyes, what difference does it make to you, if a captain dies?" The apathetic gull got close and in a whisper replies- "we'll trade words for fish one day, now, repeat as I say." The captain certain it won't help, but he spoke them, anyway. "Proud Waters don't you gloat! boast about how big you pretend to be. your power buys our fear, turning men into memories. But my life holds your story! I'll tell it, if you set me free. Am I drowning in you... or are you drowning in me?" Returned home. the Captain captured fish for the seagull to eat. And from his lips told a story of his time out at sea. Still new ships think they will prevail. Distant from diminutive land, sailors set sail dreaming of the safety of a mundane harbor. Unaware of the schemes between the Shifty Seagull and those Maniacal Waters. -

story unfolding
the problem with buying clothes these days is not knowing if anything will fit properly or even suit you until it arrives instead rather than just return items that i decide i don't want i hunt for a loose thread and pick at it; first with finger and nail when that is not enough next comes a gnashing of teeth and if needs be i am not above brandishing scissor or knife to split the seam gaping wide before complaining that the item is faulty i am never proud of myself when i do it there would be no difficulty in returning it as unwanted but this way i don't end up paying postage twice

"The Swindle", is a possible escape plan in order to divert attention completely away from the VAST majority of preying eyes! "Why!?" And..."why now question it...?" Whatever the situation, you need to be wary of totally undivided attention...,since you are not alone...of an obvious disguise (upon an even more obvious "swindling" act).

"The Swindle."
erasing my existence, to make a mark of your existence isn't a permanent solution. because those who are meant to stay forever they won't try to end up someone's life over this. they know their value, that's why they will wait when you will create a hurdle for yourself which you supposed it is for them. they will think, you are gone forever. but that forever is theirs end. as when their breath will end, karma will rise me up from the ashes where i have been sleeping— to live my life for eternity. from the start, it was their lose. so fool to understand the schemes of life.

Where is the Messiah? Are you there God? It’s me, your pariah. I’ve become something of a liar, a mystifier, a cad, a fraud: Where is the Messiah? To deliver from brimstone and fire? Against the one wielding the iron rod? It’s me your pariah, son of the dawn, prince of the nebula the gates of Judecca have thawed. Where is the Messiah? I’ll take silver, like Judas and Delilah their feet are swift; to shed blood.   It's me, your pariah. Your ***** for hire, Oh, how I await the flood. Where is the Messiah? It’s me your pariah.

There is a lack of coherence in this universe, a pebble said to me once How can I be incorporated to this forest which the everlasting ages brought me to? I'm merely a pebble... The uniformity somehow cracks beneath the wheel of Time A new stimulus shall always appear for the carriage to continue its course None shall ever stop the scheme between God and Time

lightyears
Skewed, and Angled. Perception of time seems so vulnerable, at least able to be captured.. mangled. Away it flies, yet draws closer by the second; quilted with its own set of rules and manners.. entangled.. in itself. Oxymoronic. The ultimate healer, but kills all, besides itself, "In time." Dividing a fine line between happiness and misery.. Above rides the wind, and below, the waves. Neither can go back, or skip ahead.

Skip Ahead - part 1
Bills are scheming with a lightweight check                again. Swear to God they must by          best of friends. And now I'm sitting solo on my couch                again with these 4 walls. They've become parenthetic. It's the same everywhere,                I know. Same for my friends. 'Cuz the loan checks that we're writing won't           pay dividends. We majored in Assumptions, tossed our caps and                then we found new meanings for what's copasetic. Now it's easy... too **** easy... So easy... It's too easy. To wander these same neighborhoods and stay in tiny, ****** apartments when the loose ends of your 20s tangle and you're tied to where you've always been. And I'll never ask for           FOR ANYONE'S HELP. But I still can't take           CARE OF MYSELF. So I'll           COOK MY DINNERS      ON THESE BURNING BILLS and laugh my way to the bank so they can repossess my smile. Days keep blurring through to nightlight gleams,                I know time is racing past but       thoughts are slowed. And I'll be sitting pretty on my couch                alone inside 4 walls because habits are a home. It's the same everywhere,                I know. Same for us all. Late nights and lame jokes we're making           push back walls. We majored in Assumptions, tossed our caps and                all we found were new ways to be pathetic. But it's easy... just too easy... So easy... It's too easy. To stay in soured relationships, stay still in tiny, ****** apartments when the low points of your paychecks dangle while you're trying to climb as high as rent. And we couldn't be in           ANY WORSE HEALTH. And we couldn't be less           FAIR TO OURSELVES but we'll keep on keeping like it's copasetic And we'll never ask for           ANYONE'S HELP. Though we still can't take           CARE OF OURSELVES. So we'll           COOK PLATES OF CROW           ON OUR BURNING BILLS and laugh our way downtown where we can reassess our smiles.
