I, naive I believed that the break in the clouds Was the end of rain Thought those rays of sun weren't burning I was lying Myself in the grass, Asking if the tulip chutes in Anatolia Were the same sinking green I feel now Where were we? Love for a thousand spaces and bottling them into skins Wanted to touch and know deeply all beautiful things No you're not allowed, they don't want to let you in That way, it's a distant place and means too much to understand The biological and irrational Crazed, sweeps gregarity above and within an aether-- like milky foam upon the waves When I return home from excursions I will be Ipanema The soft locale, unabashed and known to no soul Except empty elevators-- The lowly philosopher-king Maybe then you'll think highly of me Through the mixed feelings Unable to handle Straight through the socket Ring of fire Then and only then will you realize That real life Is more than just a zone or some local Brewery on a Friday night And every other Friday night Ever thereafter-- You'll unlock the box of atomic intention And listen deeply to her on the station "Sade and Other Like Hits" Slowed down for full potential Letting your cochlea stroke themselves off to the tune of the universe And the sound of air moving indiscriminately Will give you All this Somewhere almost fractal, imbibed Decimated repetitively There is a fragment of my voice, Calling "Love, how much I'd love to be. "

Odysseus, pt 2
The first time I fell in love was on a basketball court Adrenalin was pumping The sound of sneakers squeaking across the floor echoed in our ears I rebounded the ball and passed to the point guard We quickly adjusted our offense I was in the pocket Bounce pass to me Quick lay-up It’s in But it wasn’t long before I fell in love again The second time I fell in love was with painting I painted anything and everything My room, bathroom, lamps, clothing And sometimes even canvas The satisfaction of prying open a new can of paint Watching the wet paint gather then drip off the lid and slide into the can Or looking at your dried palette after completing a painting The feeling is indescribably in words But I still played basketball The third time I fell in love, I neglected my old hobbies This time it was with a boy Pale face, auburn hair and green eyes He had a kind smile and assured me the world could be ours And it was For two years And even though the last time I played ball was A drunken night outside a brewery in Tel Aviv And even though the last time I painted I used A sponge and toothbrush And even though the last time I saw that smile It was no longer mine to behold I still love all these things But now, I see them in a different way

I know the contours of your face just like the streets of my hometown you'd squint your eyes when laughing at the corner of Main and Dow. Blacktooth Brewery on frigid Friday nights frosted glasses, fogging breaths and laughs caught up in tightening chests. Kendrick Park can keep its towering trees and midnight charms if I can keep your laughter with me when I sail for newer shores Something in familiar signs, buzzing blackened Bighorn skies, keeps us just above the water line-- afloat for one more night. Sheridan Iron Works Red, rigid lettering a raised, distant hand Watch it wave from on the hill above the Kendrick boardwalk, soak December in our smiles choking back our April cries. Snake's head yawning from the I-90 exit slithers down Coffeen and tails our icy footsteps Rattle. Rattle. Rattle. Shake this town to its bones with our Thurmond Street jokes and our glowing Gould Street hearts. I hope this is enough to buoy our ***** up against the weighty ballast of this tiny, yawning town. Settlers of Catan played on a windy Wednesday night over another drowning round of clinking Wagon Box pints. The contours of your face, icy streets of our hometown, our squinting, gasping laughter on the corner of Main and Dow. Blacktooth Brewery. Frigid Friday nights. Fogged up glasses. Frosting breaths and laughing, clutching tightening chests. This freezing town will test your mettle. Settle up and bring your friends.

Bitter Nights. Best Friends. ******* Town.
If the sun lighten meadow, were to fall to a land forsaken burrow A shelter it once was, full of decadent greenery, But, never it may be again the land of lavishing brewery If the sun lighten stream, would fade out into dim Becomes a melancholic and forgotten drought, An eye-sparkling land it was where all life would spread and sprout The embellishing jade and lapis, Deeply tainted to the faintest By work of all demons alike, The bright ruby can never be in our sight Our treasures soon gone into abyss Our jewels alive but shows no zest Our land fainted and made If only we kept out of the shade                   -Sometimes sitting there in the shade will only diminish what you call light-

Sun lighten Land
The million dollar war, and a penniless soul Become entrapped in an ephemeral state. Reality is not his father’s cold brewery, Reality is the burning, fermented sweat Which singes his eyes. “Salute” rang The officer, as the crowd looked on. Georg fell in line to salute his soul away To a reality of misconstrued differences. A moment of bombastic glory rang out in his ears, As he began to carry what his father had bestowed on him. He didn’t realize, or did not conceive, The sound of the months following. The bombs of the months following did not ring. The bombs were quiet— A silent brigade of destruction.

2. Georg carries his cross
The hardest part of all of this is that you were not just the first person I was in love with, but the first thing I've ever loved at all. I think everyone needs to love something to be happy in life, and some people love their jobs, or school, or their home, or even themselves, but for me it was only you, and I don't know what to do now. I keep having dreams of people asking for my commitment and in those dreams the first thing I think about is when and how I will leave them. I keep having flashbacks to that evening we had dinner at the European brewery. You were joking about how if we ever broke up I would spend the rest of my life trying to replace you but I would never succeed. What if you were right? What if you were it? What if I am never able to love anyone else again?

The Brewery Located superolateral to 'The Abdomen' Runs under the control of the four beertaps Releasing the poisonous drops of frustration Filling up the body of desolation Drunk on liquor Cells getting thicker Squeezing out the blood, the pain, the anger, the rage Caged, in for so long Growing more strong Out of control and beyond Anger so hot, so volatile So stubborn, so in denial Intoxicates itself within the factory of whiskey Sipping in Jack Daniels to satisfactory Feeling burned, its vessels burst out with migraines A red face, blood shot eye strain Bouts of anger frustrate the powerhouse This house of pain A house on fire No ounce of rain A house on fire Caged, Tamed, Chained Retired.. Drained. This house of pain

The Brewery
When I'd sail upon the moon boat, I would think of all I have got, An old dime in my left pocket, In the right, one gifted locket, umpteen shades of memory, from my mind's secret brewery, my palm drawn upside in space, upon which once your hand you placed, twinkling under fair, raining light, all I have would come to sight, another pocket, another thing, a time-old letter that gave me wings, what else do I do have, nothing much I could save, but yes, there's too, this crimson glow which my heart refuses to show, it used to unlock in someone's arms, and I've lost those keys long ago.

Remembrance by the Moonside
Holy water into wine. Beer from barley. Walking on the roof of a brewery, Contemplating how Jimmy Fallon's Finger never really seems to heal. Combine harvester headlights dance On the living room walls As I lean back on my white IKEA Sofa, tracing long hairs and Fingerprints of lovers gone, Wondering why I chose such a Revealing colour. Suppose the transparency matches That of my soul's lining. Holy water into wine. Fields of gold now liquid painkillers Slurring the voices in my head that Pick fights with my heart over Insignificant issues. I lip synch to the music of my Neglected talents and the memories Of inspiration attached. Bullets like knuckles rapping, rapping At my empty chamber Door. Every finger I ever broke Was from typing or Punching Walls. Sometimes I put on the mask of Poet, and pretend to be writing For as long as it takes to fool The empty pages.

Teetotal Failure.
*the temperatures are devilish tonight   made in hell's antithetical brewery from whence uncharacteristic blasts of cold air    fly at those who are poorly-clad so make this ghoulish frost in my heart go away hold me against your body and pat my back tenderly tell me it's all right to suffer the sting of the elements on a night like this when my imagination runs riot and i see apparitions leering at me from worlds unknown so dear favoured one,do make the cold go away this night and rescue my being from the doldrums of apocalyptic nightmares*

What it'd be to be the same cup of tea and poured so thoroughly for all the world to see What it'd be to be sought and enjoyed rather than looked through tainted and destroyed colored glasses, decidedly annoyed people fix me irritated glances I'm not a crowd pleaser and alone viewed as bitter I'm sorry I'm not your cup of tea if you see a quiter then a bitter quiter has to be me What it'd be to not even be me maybe instead from a mint brewery then my demeanor would appear brighter, cleaner but not to you achu achu appearances never faze to blue until that brew adieus What it'd be for my recipe to have been escriben so graciously near my name Instead drank ostensibly spit contemptuously and given tired out pleasantries failed to taste great piquancy no red, yellow, or blue cup's compatible dripping amenity And oh what it'd be for you to see that with the alliance with a honey bee everyone's cup of tea

brewery (haiku)
He lived in a fine old country house Befitting a man of means, With everything a Victorian Squire Could aspire to, in his dreams. He owned four-fifths of a colliery In the days when coal was gold, And topped that up with a Brewery, But the mean old man was cold. For Benjamin John Fortescue ruled His house like a would-be Earl, His son had never felt welcome there Since he’d married a country girl, The mother had gone some years before Who protected, in his youth, But now, the **** of his father’s whims The lad found out the truth. He treated them like the servant class Expected to fetch and bring, But paid a pittance to keep them there, His purse on a miser’s string, ‘I keep a fine roof over your heads And you eat each day for free,’ He’d say, whenever they asked for gilt, ‘What more do you want from me?’ Their toddler Tim wore cast-off clothes And was made to play outside, ‘I don’t want a ragamuffin’s mess,’ He’d say, till the mother cried. ‘You don’t seem to love your grandson,’ said His son, his head in a whirl, ‘I would if he had some parentage, But not from some country girl.’ As time went on there was something wrong For the father suffered fits, At first it would start with a seizure, He would seem to lose his wits. He’d lie for days in a sort of haze And would scarcely draw a breath, And Caroline would look hard it him, ‘It’s as if he’s caught in death!’ It happened enough to make him plan Should the doctor be deceived, ‘I don’t want the fools to bury me Alive, so I’m not retrieved.’ He bought a coffin with space inside And a tube, out to the air, With a little bell he could ring as well If he found himself in there. ‘Be sure to follow instructions if You think that I am dead, Affix the bell to the tube as well With a cord down to my head, Then check the grave for a week or more To see if the bell should ring, Then hurry to dig me up, and I Will give you anything.’ The day came that on the seventh fit They could swear that he was dead, ‘There isn’t even a breath of air And his eyes are up in his head.’ Three doctors came, and they all concurred That his life was now extinct, ‘It had to happen,’ the couple heard, ‘He’s been living on the brink.’ They laid him out in his coffin, and They fitted the tube to breathe, Attached the bell, and the cord as well Before they rose to leave, But Timothy stayed to play that day As he did, down in the Dell, And a week went by till his mother cried: ‘Where did he get that bell?’ David Lewis Paget

A fabulous day to be had was in store At Mash Brewery I casualy strolled through the door Our tables real long 30 + ladies are here Eating lunch and chatting with a wine,cider or beer Then I spy the birthday girl a friend I hold dear Like all the other ladies I bring birthday cheer Then a call "all aboard" gotta skull down my drink To much of this   I'll end up feeling real stink So out of the brewery single file we go To our white disco bus with our Kiwi driver Joe With a smile to our driver I say "Kiora Bro" Then we're off on our journey to different Swan Valley locations There's laughter even a waterslide to release some of life's frustrations Then all to soon my journey must end Then I hear a voice say "Come to Guildford my friend" More then happy to ablige It's back to my seat with a skip in my stride At the Guildford Tavern I decide l'd love to go the whole way And on my girlfriends couch tonight is where I shall stay Today I'm having respite so my sister I call to see if in the morning she's able to come and get me She's more than happy Glad I'm having fun I love my sister she's my number one So off on our bus down the Highway we roar Singing "Girls just wanna have fun " we let our voices soar With our trusty driver Joe in our white bus with the disco light We laugh, sing and dance our voices carrying into the night.

illness
Imperial ales coerced our high gravity choices one day. Bleeding, drenched and on full alert, I limped from the Tuck's bank to the brewery. With one pole wet, my whistle was next; I needed hoppy nourishment, salty pretzels and a stool. Lacking fish or gear, I imagined it would be difficult to explain my appearance, but I didn't give a **** I come as is. To my 3 o'clock a smoke ring silhouette vacuumed my exhale like spooling cotton candy from 3 feet away; I took a breath and inhaled her dandelion seeds. A tattoo of a paper airplane on her wrist was faded from afar, yet as she flew closer the ink appeared fresh, 2-3 weeks old. Her hair smelled of patchouli, parsnips, an Asheville scent. Closer now, I recognized a look of love or disgust in her eyes. Can't tell em' apart anymore, as the prior wears a disguise, eventually becoming the latter. She asks my name and I ask the barkeep for two double IPA's. We don't need a racetrack to run in circles anymore.

Double IPA's & Dandelions
Three hours I’ve got Till I need to place three more quarters in the slot, Preventing a ticket from making a print on my windshield. Walk fast, speedy gal. The rain is making a damp home of your hair. Pit pat pit pat pit pit patter. The flats that hug my feet make tiny foot prints of sound on the city side walk. The invisible prints, with the splash and swoosh of water waves from passing cars Makes all other sound miniscule to my ears. I push the swinging door open And step from chill winter air into warm chit chat filled space. The smell of damp clothes and freshly ground espresso fills my nostrils. My eyes welcome the sight of relaxed people and the rustic interior of the bakery, brewery, and restaurant. Time to get cozy on my favorite bench, with a cappuccino in my hands, a book in front of me on the table, and my bubble of comfort around me.

BLOOD,SWEAT & BEERS New dawn new day cup of joe to begin the day,starting in line helping to create more urban decay Waiting out winters feeding the flock, spring warmth brings bringing ceaseless hours for that new crop Daily mail brings new news while men in a truck pick up the muck,while another prepares to make repairs while caught up in the drudgery   Clerks & cashiers line up with peers at home behind desks or registers ,more & more simply wanting to beat that clock Many in uniform protecting the rest from the next storm ,defending all of us & themselves stubbornly Famous factories forged many generations in fire ,painting a lifestyle for many to admire,building a nations foundation in solid rock Times change ,full circle to a broad range ,equal rights brings new light ,hoping to help move many upwardly Wheels of rubber or of steel always moving ready to help seal a deal ,someone at the helm across the nation or around the block Many more labor with lumber like ants on erector sets,from floors to steeple ,finalizing with grass & shrubbery Miles of coastline mean fisherman don't flounder,line or net they get what they get anything to feed the ever growing flock Others eager to learn for new knowledge they do yearn ,teachers take on the task to guide the classrooms fortunately So paid in  sweat equity or in blood for the brood,  many gather at the end of the day but never forget to tip the barmaid or tender at your local brewery.

And that's the only reason I have friends I think about heaven every now and then But hell is like a brewery in my stomach I ***** negativity And allow my demon to control my thoughts She is my only stability, my only sanity My walk is the footsteps you hear in a horror movie My legs are pin needles stuck out to pierce the side of everyone who gets close to me My arms give guidance to the slaying of wrists and popping of pills My heartbeat is the crack of a woman's rib in a broken home My chest is the homepage of insecurity and doubt My lips are the poison kiss of loneliness My tongue tastes darkness covered in sparkling lies My eyes are the pathway to her I am her slave and I will do anything she asks of me So please don't look into me Because she is constantly waiting for her next victim Don't try to save me You have no idea as to who I am Hi I'm Basbee I have trapped a demon inside of me She is cold and lonely She's mean, rude and quite frankly a ***** Basically she's like me Except she torments me from the inside She has officially burnt a hole in my heart And all that's left is barely pumping blood I am deoxygenated Because she keeps stealing every breath of fresh air I inhale She has me mentally and emotionally ****** up So the only good part I had left was my physicality And she had to **** that up too I have these scars More like tattoos, to remind me that I am mortal and one day I will leave this body and She will be free I bet you're asking by now "Why don't you let her go?" I can't She is a part of me And without her I would fall apart Because right now She's the reason I'm trying to paint a picture of myself To remember who I was when I was young Because right now She's the reason that I believe in a God I am a dark twisted fairytale And I know how my story ends She will eventually break out of the haunted prison she lives in And leave me warden to my own shadow

forgot how to love she said 'spank me, man' i spanked her too hard I tried to kiss her kneck like James Dean she didn't feel it. i made her bed while she was showering, i made her coffee while she dressed, i held her hand at the bustop and then walked home. i found a note in my pocket a drawing of a flower, a drawing of lips kissing, her handwriting again I'm in high school learning how to love this time my lover already knows and so it is easy to remember. her makeup stained my favorite shirt, the one my dad bought at a brewery in Berkeley but to be fair, the blue one that says 'Truckee' was my favorite until this morning
