At a Mass Ave bus stop. Broken mirror in a storefront. I see, in slivers of glass, pieces of my mind apart from each other, madness. Mostly I see guilt. Always GUILT! Like being stalked by some ******* Russian writer! Deliver me from me. Help me find redemption. I left my wife and kids, like some suicide. Life an emotional minefield I danced through! ******, beer and cigarettes kept me sane. Angels guided me, so many I've lost count. Some would call them friends and they were. They guided me back to what mattered most. My kids were the missing piece of me. Awkward reunions, regaining trust, closeness. Katie and Sean. A mantra I never forgot. A hope I clutched alone in the desert.
My planet escaped the gravity of the sun. Madness and chaos ensued. I went down a black hole. Every social construct was told to ******* as I slouched towards Boston.
Reborn with stains of the past nesting inside. We're never free of our betrayals. We just pretend. We reinvent us and become strangers to ourselves. I hope my memories die before me. I'll be cleansed.

I drink wine from the box not the bottle. My empties are very functional. I make chairs to sit in alone for happy hour. Beds to sleep alone in case I can't atone. Dog house to be alone in when you're angry. Walls between us too tall to ever surmount. Even my own coffin hot as hell herself. I could never build a bridge back home.
Our first boy, boy. My namesake, boy. Fetch my tools, boy. Cry beating belt, boy. Make me proud, boy. Ignore my cruelty, boy. War's killing eats us, boy. Comes home each night, boy. Never mind the misery, boy. She smiled at you, Boy!

Boys play at growing up and shaving. Girls bleed into women we desire. Boys want damsels who need saving. Girls tend to boy's raging fire. Boys look tough but always cry alone. Girls want to always be protected but end up having hearts of stone. Boys are addicted and feel neglected.
19 and called to serve in Nam. You said no strings keep me. We ****** as if there were more the flight to war is always free the flight home in body bags tin medals on the shredded boys flag draped coffins all the same dead sons playing war with toys.
The world keeps spinning against my will. I stop time in my secret world and live barefoot in summer's grass. I build dams in the creek and play with crawdads and steal change for candy and army men from Rathman's. Mom dresses us for Easter in little suits and fedoras crooners in her fantasy. We lived her lives when we had to. Boy trapped. I smell summer's grass.
I dream in hospice care and smile big morphine grins as my body shuts down against my will.
My life is imploding all around me. Block by block is demolished making room for some brave new world for versions of a new us state control tech drones.
I bought breakfast for a Communist to discuss our differences. He drank ***** and I had coffee. I don't feel superior just sick from last night. He hates god. God is evil to poor. I said he deprived the poor as the rich process fat from masses to boil it into flame to read Marx. I asked if I wore his Marx hat and shout among the masses could I convince them God is not dead but Marx is long dead?
I have no time to listen to your supposition of the conversation of your observation when you found her **** swimming in an attitude she thought it amusing and started refusing to name her admirer who set her on fire.

I was a sinner who left my wife and kids for the girlfriend *****. Simon and Garfunkel understood and sang while we ****** in time. in a friend's bed with ***** and we laughed and killed the intruders in the shower and ****** in a love of sorts that never stood a chance and withered.
I lived a half life all along radioactive from some song when you touched me I woke listened to words you spoke Touch is a spark we need Life begins with this seed.
Our world grew quiet like the dead. I never heard silence like this before. I knew it was over when we ate alone and slept apart and watched our own shows. We always adapt. We're good at it. It's easier than fixing what is broken.
How can you love this broke man who can't even love himself? Imposter. Poseur. Always on stage. Playing to the crowd for applause. Preening in the mirror before bed. Don't mess my makeup, my sweet. Never cry real tears. Never block my lighting. Never ever upstage me!
There's always a price tag hanging on your heart. I saved my change in a jar to down pay as a start. You're never layaway payment due delivery. I'll make enough money and ask you to marry me.
I fell off the Earth awhile ago. I'm floating in time and space. Time's never ticked so **** slow. I think I recognize this place. My lovers wait in beds for me on fire with hate where I burn I'll visit you with bent knee and love you with all I learn
We bought a broken dog and took him to our broken home to live with this broken family. We tried to fix him with broken training. I was too broken to get it right. The more I yelled the more broke he got. I had a drunken insight one evening walking him in a full moon. He reminded me of me in my childhood. I saw things through his broken eyes and held him close. I promised I'd fix us. I found my broken self in a dog shelter.
Still broke but much better! My college aged daughter named him Jack Daniels.
I love my garden perfect. Everything in its place and watered and sun drenched. I live in chaos and clouds that refuse to give rain. Love withered long ago.
Mr. Fantasy always breaking the rules collecting glass frame butterfly fools. We flutter and preen colors of rainbows killed pristine pinned in perfect rows.
I was supreme and all knowing. You hovered beneath my sun and moon and adored my sacred creation. You cursed me in famine and sung hymns to me in bountiful times. Karl Heinrich Marx broke me and killed America and freedom and his minions imprison us today.
Priced as marked or best offer. Some damaged more than others. A small tear a workplace affair a bigger tear a torrid affair with broken promises devastated barely pumps he always cheated and blamed her blown out selling for parts he betrayed and took the kids she overdosed and stabbed her heart for good measure. Tears roll down but can never make things right. Make an offer after all why not?
At 5 I broke my leg. At 12 a girl broke my heart. At 18 I broke apart everything for Love set adrift at start. Drowned and burned to death I turned around my own sun another day of fun searching for Eden rebirth in a garden.
Break wind, break promises, break hearts but never ever break Sacred Marriage Vows! All the gods will have cows... All kittens will die I swear on a bible made in communist China.
I try to write my life in poems but my words are never right. They don't fit together all they seem to do is fight. My poetry is obituaries of old loves turned to stone once this broken poet knew he'd die alone.
I harbor a sadness in my heart I wish I could destroy but time stops before it has time to start. It's gravity heavy in my own bed with God's fierce sinner's weight I broke my vows we wed now dead.
He cheated on his wife and three children broken family done a million times. Ken is a little man turning the kids against his wife to swear in court he was a victim of mamma. He has no honor no honesty. I've been there. It will end badly.
The war was won the men came home broke but ready to fill the cradles and cry on the shoulders that matter and smell of the remembered perfume. They spent the venom into wombs to bring corpses back from ugly death.
I needed honesty at last and walk out of the bathroom naked jaws drop eyes shock me in a cocoon of truth condemned now I'm free. I broke sacred vows and my kids and turned into a statue of salt.
Somewhere, some place, some time. We ****** in love's innocent shadow hiding our true nature in this rhyme unable to avoid the promised sorrow my guilt followed in my broke vows. Love is a keeper of fragile hearts unable to silence my animal howls we ****** in innocence from the start.
Rough edged saw of a man. What a way with words you had. Blue collar barfly a smoke in lips put us all in the places we know, where we feel comfort after all. Our uncles smell of ***** and aunts always favor aperitifs in the afternoons then naps. Being honest we all crawl in bars when things fall apart and we just need comfort of friends we just met that very day.

There we were sitting on bar stools side by side and talking about women and the way they smell. Some earthy and some flowers and some like stale *****. We told sick jokes and remembered good old days when men were fierce and girls were gentle and tamed their beasts. We parted. He paid my tab. Yellow teeth. I remember his laugh. It was sincere. I stumbled out drunk but he walked sober.
