At the edge of the lakes where the roads cross their swords Is a place that I go when I’ve nothing more than $1.72 for an Arizona Tea. But there’s no other place I would rather be then hanging around with my station family. There’s a place that I go when I need to **** time At the corner of Radisson and Cloud. And even with the rumbling cars it really ain’t all that loud. It’s a wonderful place to sit down and tag, though the passerby may call me a *** There’s still no place I’d rather be than toking up with my station family.

My Gas Station Family
I scream in pain and I hurt from things that haven’t taken place I scream in pleasure and ***** thoughts of *** and *** coat the inside of my brain Sobbing after the release, the water drips down my face from above It hurts A distraction for a second, a distraction, I am trying to hold on to what I have It’s slow and fast and theres not enough time I slam my head back against the shower wall I want to sit here in the warmth and the despair and the nothing I want to be pushed to release again I want to be pushed a little more just all I need so I can finally end things for good Final release

release
O’ Trauma, O’ Drama, Two friends I know well. They’ve dragged me through hell, Ripped up cell by cell. O’ Trauma, O’ Drama. Will there ever be peace? I truly cannot say, But I’ll try anyway. Will it be okay? Will there ever be peace? Can one master their own flaws? Can I conquer my raw mind? I oft look inwards to find My soul’s been caught in a bind. Can one master their own flaws? I’ve become used to hurt, And accustomed to pain. I’m surprised I’m still sane, With so broken a brain. I’ve become used to hurt. O’ Trauma, O’ Drama, They’ve led me to grow, Took me high and low, Taught me all I know. O’ Trauma, O’ Drama. I don’t like it, I’ll take peace if I can; But years of fire have forged a better man.

Does it not Feel for the standoffish Does it not Stand for the forgotten Does it not Ban all that forgotten Does it call when the man drops his call Bonds will be broken Time is woven The last steps are the same we all have choices

Cold shouldn't Cold havocs Cold weddings Cold twilights With a couth... We are a pleasantry Sake to work overtly, youth Make me your lover, about profanity... Sorry, knowing a house? Wished for, wasting a knot... Shoulder's with a best, know the mouse Curious? save the grace in a hop... Begun before, a rise has a chance A liberty to share nothing, but us Longer laughter, than a real face Somewhere the rain, has become one to discuss: A broken deed? So savored, so favored By wonder, in the voice to lead A wager of admission's service, a luck sour...?

When Could Punch And Judy, Eat?
She placed me as her best friend. Finally pulling me out of her “friend zone” because she failed to grab the man she really wanted.

underpass gallery where urban Picasso's tag the walls as their own having never paid a penny in tax to offer compensation for their spray paint intrusion or maybe a **** and ***** or just **** off freedom of expression being let out from under the thumb of authority mum and dad school teachers social workers this is their voice crying out into the darkness of the unknown hereafter that scares the **** out of them perhaps we should listen they are the future perhaps we should be down there with them some of us could do with a bit of freedom of expression let some hair down while there is still some left to let

Is my car really that good on gas? I mean think about it... And, what's that spltoch on the ceiling that's been here since I moved in a decade ago, and is now starting to look like a gigantic two-headed cherub? What is that brownish stain actually made of? I mean think about it... And, is Philip Michael Thomas still alive? I mean think about it... Mind blowing

Philip Michael Thomas
When I was a kid, Summer was so much fun Playing and laughing all day in the sun We would all gather for a game of tag Or running a race to the finish flag We would think of ways to try and stay cool Like going for a swim at the public pool Drinking tall glasses of cold lemonade While sitting under a tree in the crisp shade Riding our bikes up and down the street Waiting for the ice cream truck for a popsicle treat Staying up late with my best friend Hoping that Summer would never end I'm grown up now but it's just not the same The loss of innocence is such a shame It's been a long time but they're still  very clear Those summertime memories that I hold so dear

Genuine polite and humble men are often misunderstood and tagged as flirty.May be because they are rarest of all the species , I guess.

Come here kids and listen We're gonna play a game It's just like tag, a little And Covid is it's name The whole wide world is playing It's a simple game to play Everyone has cooties The idea is stay away The game has no time limit It may last a month or more You can win it if you listen That's what this poem is for You don't want the cooties You don't want to be it The idea is keep your distance This game may take a bit One way to block the cooties From getting in your space Wash your hands like we do And do not touch your face You don't know who has cooties Who is it and who is not So, stay close like we tell you And then you won't get caught This game is really something I'll tell you when it's done Just follow my instructions And we'll keep on having fun So, one, two, three...we're playing Don't let the cooties in your space Wash your hands like I do And do not touch your face

The Cooties Game
Old boomer story, I have two pre boomers left alive, among men who claim to have known me when. Soon enough their side of this story will be gone, and mine will be main, ever after. That's how chapters work in the book of life. Many ways, manifold, aye, yess mirror in mirror, infinite loops are possible to imagine, but you can't realize one for more than an hour, try. My chapter includes you and those two old guys when they were five and six years older than me, the big kids, but my uncle and my cousin, who taught me all I ever learned about survival of the fitist. Pick on somebody smaller, big fish eats the little fish, toddler boy chokes the cat and big boy laughs. I was the only one who did serious time, and HMMM self analysis bump in the views, we may have felt an earth quake, just after seven, yes in the desert, west of the Blythe intaglios, yes peak super bloom about two weeks, a guess, maybe sooner -- end call my truth made me free and you don't know if that's a lie, and that could be funny, under these circumstances, you might know.

Self isolated odd ifity
When I hear your voice in isolation my whole house sways to your godly presentation that voice now has a different kind of appreciation when it's the only thing that sends my heartbeats into constant vibration It's not the word nor the caption it's the sound that's now given in ration to switch on a photographic imagination of the value of a throwback life, seen through an application Send me your voice I am done with pictures and links bring back the call the call of you

The winner's lose Happiness descends Death awaits Rigor mortis sets in An empirical delusion Blinded by grief The most logical wisdom's Eventually deceive At the bottom of ism's Awaits the final collision At the gates Of all that rhyme A funeral dirge Reconciled with birth In the calming state Acutely sublime How can the enlightened Not fear death? Surely we all Struggle for breath Holding life in As long as we can I will give you my heart But only on lend Perhaps Poet's Understand the rhymes Contemplative in nature Destine to arrive   Removing the blinders That death is a lie ......................

JADED
do not name that thing you wish to know take such a weighted title make a security blanket of that thing sleep in a mirage and lie down in bedsheets other than your own - if you wake up in the morning after covering up lies with that thing you will not put your demons to rest do not think if that thing feels safe you love that thing recklessly - it is in our nature to yearn for that thing to have our back infatuation being our downfall lustful happenings disrupting the consistency you want to name - do not name that thing because a title can never change character and that thing is always stubborn

This is selfish And I know I know I always do But that doesn't stop me From self absorbed thoughts Then panicking When I notice Then slicing open My thighs Bleeding out My lies It's such a vicious cycle And it's only The start I won't say That I'm not ashamed Of the things I've done Of the person I've become But I also can't say That I didn't want this That I didn't Ask for this Because I did And I deserve it I don't remember a time When things weren't wrong It's the subtleties The little things I looked up On my first phone The pinching The picking The restricting I was only eleven then I made friends I shouldn't have I opened my arms To the whole world And it rushed in Too fast I wasn't ready I know that now But I asked for it And I can't change The past The first time My mother told me She was worried I wondered why I was always The one who worried The one who noticed The anguished faces Who pressed her ear To the bathroom door And heard the muttered Conversations About things And how they go wrong And always It seemed I was the heart of it all So I was scared I wanted to change I haven't known a day Without shame In at least five years now That's an awfully Long time To survive In the wild Menacing darkness Just a child A babe in the woods How would you feel If that babe knew About the monsters The creatures of the deep All the bad things That most people Run from And she took them With a scream That was me I was lost I still am To some degree There are scars That will never fade But it was all For a rush That highlight Starstruck Moonlit night When I cried For so long Because I couldn't have him Or her Or them Or anyone In particular And it all climaxed Again and again There doesn't seem To be an end Just more walls In my twisting maze Every time I see a light It turns out It's just a phase An illusion A ghost Of something I never had Maybe if she hadn't died Maybe if they'd never fought Maybe if I'd been a Better child None of this Would've happened There must be Another world Where I find happiness But that's not mine That's not me I'm the timeline That everyone is glad They don't belong to I'm the mess The perfect tragedy My parents What do they even Think of me I can imagine that Hospital fees Add up pretty quick And with all that I've done I'm not worth What I cost I'm just a mess A disaster of a girl I was never meant to be born But he died Instead And here I am Dying for the light But unwilling To venture out I guess I'm Sick and twisted In a number of ways But more than anything I'm scared And I'm not enough I'm not skinny Like I was I can barely show My face in public I can't wear shorts Except around the house And I hate myself So much Most of the time That dying often seems Like the only answer I'll never stop coming back to So yeah My depression So big and ugly I'm unable To untangle Its reflection from mine We're so Intertwined I've been here for so long It's grown around me It's a dying tree And I am dying with it
