Try Stupid **** a Billy Talent parody
i peeked into your secret i unbottuned your sensitivity with your own sarcasm you blew my vietnam my heart is a touchy speaker cable and you sparked me up now i am empty beer bottles oscillating in your hand and then you set me down i am your nostalgia and you can only think of bad things like bruised knees and gout and that summer you had walking pneumonia and syphilis and you cried every night into your mother's arms i am the cancer you faked in order to gain attention i am that boy that fell for it and gave you syphilis i am your shaved head on picture day in the 9th grade i am your solitude i am your noise i am your virginity being taken in the backseat of your brother's best friend's parent's camaro when you were 15 and more than willing

Walking Pneumonia
The rain drapes the windshield in sheets and the radio doesn't reach any stations cold integrity darkens the interior of Alex's rusty crimson Camaro it's never this quiet on the highway sliding between light and lightning laid bare by a flash across the sky naked at the sound of thunder what use is running away if all you can do is drive.

Going Nowhere on the Queensway at Quarter Past One in the Morning on Sunday
When people hear time travel, they think fun. Reliving moments in life that were filled with laughter and joy. Like pounding back jagerbombs at the warehouse, or leaving home and enjoying life on a resort. When people hear time travel, they think atonement. To go back and stop yourself from doing a loved one wrong, or not making that left turn and crashing your camaro. When people hear time travel, they think restoration. A second chance if you will. Like going back to school and studying harder, or not making that last bet at the casino and losing all your cash. When I hear time travel, I think of your lips. Soft as a cloud and sweet as honey. Your kiss had me surrendering my soul to you. When I hear time travel, I think of your hands. The most angelic touch, that could calm the angriest bull. How it felt as if your fingers were made perfectly to fit into mine. When I hear time travel, I think of your eyes. A gateway to never ending happiness. When we locked eyes, time would stop around us, leaving you and I in our own world. When I hear time travel, I think of pain. How you saying a couple words hurt more than a thousand shattered bones. How you leaving felt as if someone punched me in the gut and left with every last bit of my breath. When I hear time travel, I think yes. Yes i'd endure all that again. That crushing feeling as if you're 10,000 feet under the ocean. Yes, if it meant I got to hold you again like a scared kid holding a teddy. Yes, if it meant I got to witness how beautiful you look sipping on wine. Your red lipstick staining the glass, and then my neck. When I hear time travel, I think of you. But just like time travel, our love doesn't exist. For now.

Regardless of where my life is headed No matter which wild path it is on There are always voices that claw their way out Sadness, Misery,Dripping desire, Torment, Gore... Live inside of me I have bubbles in my laughter Sunshine sky ways in my smile You'd never know from reading That I could bake your pants off Fix your camaro regardless it's issue And clean your whole house all at the same time Phone *** operator get you off with her voice kind of love I make no apologies Excuses don't dwell here ****** poet with a taste for flesh An open book with banshee hair The desire for more and more ink endless on my fingertips

It's 10 pm and the heat just hit me The AC is off but I couldn't be more happy Touched my first palm tree and dipped my hand in the toilet Grabbed a cab to the city, on the seat there was a death threat For breakfast we had Bananas foster, po'boys and hash brown When Amanda power walked I had to tell her to slow down By the Mississipi river I drank a peach daquiri The waitress wanted more tips and across the streets she chased me Strippers gave me the finger, ****** begged for ****** We were stuck in traffic cause of the constant flash floods In a Camaro and a Werewolf to creep with vampires and slaves Talking about plantations by the old family graves And you were so beautiful under that big oak tree Even more in the rain outside that locked cemetery On Bourbon street the homeboys were asking for hugs And I gave away all my coins to some thugs We ate jambalaya and fried green tomatoes The ladies were halfnaked but no one called them hoes In a blacksmith shop with no electricity We drank Morgan and got wasted with some other swedes Wherever we went we felt the smell of **** From every balcony people were throwing beads All the ***** sounds were drowned out by the air condition On the floor Hoyt from True Blood was changing positions Then Chris slept like a baby when the cockroach sang him lullabies For some reason it made more sense than "bridge may ice"

When a wig maker saw my wife's hair, he adored it. He wanted it and said that he'd pay top dollar for it. So I cut my wife's hair off while she was asleep. She walked out the door after calling me a creep. Perhaps I did go too far. But I wanted to buy a car. I went to a used car lot and bought a beautiful red Camaro. If you're wondering if I got away with it, the answer is no. My wife went home to be with her mother. And then I got a visit from her two brothers. One came at me with an axe, I was lucky that my head wasn't severed. The other torched my Camaro and covered me with tar and feathers. It took four weeks to get that tar out of my hair and off my skin. If I live to be a hundred, I'll never cut off a woman's hair again.

The Wig Maker
Beauty is only skin deep,  your beauty is not based upon what you drive weather it be a Camaro or a Jeep.      Beauty is based upon  who you are as an individual.   You may be a pushover, a nice  person or a straight up tool.    Beauty does not determine your self worth.  Remember you're not  the only being of this earth.     Beauty is not just your face, beauty is your morals,  your value, or your grades, it doesn't  matter. Not everyone is an ace.     Your time to shine will come.

I see them still, From time to time, Their goofy smiles, Their laughing eyes. Still hear their ******* Their growled complaints, Their farts in the night, from five bunks down. The relentless joke telling, The brotherly jabs. Still see their sad empty eyes When no mail from home arrives. Oh and the lists of things That they would do, When back they'd go, Into the World, Added to daily, always growing. Get that new Camaro, "Set them tires on fire!", Cruse the strip back home and pick up chicks. Put on their Class A, And strut down the block. Find that foxy girl from English class, And make her his wife. Tell his old man, to actually **** Off!" We were but boys, Too eager and green, Posturing and playing at being men. What I wonder, would they have become, Given the chance to grow to a man? Young lives cut short by ballistic pain. So now still they linger, boys they remain, Night visions left in the mud and the rain.

Night Visions
like the Rialto, the Grand Canal flows underneath me. Even as I hold my back in my hands, I can no longer support my discretions. Sixteen. Twenty-one. Thirty-three. How did I have the space? You would think it would be engraved across my pelvis: “wrap it up” before you hold me down I ran with lit matches as a girl, waiting until the flame kissed my thumb and forefingers puckered pink under the surface. I enjoy the boils left behind by my recklessness: every bruise from a fence **** and every pebble-sized bump from my head hitting the roof of a Camaro sat underneath my skin, just like Lil’ A B C and I can lie flat as the canal rushes over.

Sitting at the piano Useless because I am deaf anyway As a baby one too many insults were thrown my way Hit a key Vibrate through my arm like the rev of a Mustang engine Poking needles into my brain saying listen I try and try But nothing is heard because I am deaf I cry My tears soaking the keys like a saltwater and vinegar bath Acidic and all sodium But then the piano sings to me And cleans away the cobwebs in my ears So I hear And I listen to the vibrations that sound like The purr of a Camaro As well as the hum of a harp Such a beautiful combination for a girl that Can't hear

You told me that you would be there for me, were you? No. You told me that if I went blind then you would be the one to lead me, were you? No You told me that if I cried that you would slap me,did you? Yes. You told me that if I died for you that you would continue to live happily, did you? Yes. You told me that all things are meant to be, You told me that if one door closes then you would just open it again, You told me .. "Yes, I love you with all my heart." You told me that you would be loyal, and I that I should trust you. You told me that we are soulmates and that meant I was supposed to be in chains to serve your sorry *** You told me to never leave the house because you would bring the wedding papers to me. You told me that we could have that sweet apple red 2010 Camaro with white racing stripes down the middle. You told me that we could have my dream penthouse and your dream pool. You told me that you would sell all of your **** magazines. Wanna know what I told you? No. I told you, when you finally let your guard down, That I didn't want for you to be there for me, I didn't want you to be the one leading me when I went blind. I didn't want you to be the one to slap me to get me to stop crying. I didn't want you to continue living happily when I died, I told you I wanted to be the one living happily when you died. I didn't want all things to be inevitable. I didn't want you to be the one opening up the same door over and over again, I wanted that to be me, just with a different door. I told you, "No, don't say that, I want you to hate me." I didn't want you to be loyal, I knew I would never trust you. I didn't want us to be soulmates so I can be the one that you had *** with in the basement after poker nights. I wanted to leave the house and runaway not have a permanent pigment change on my finger where your rusty ring was. I wanted to drive that car by myself, but now that you got it and sat your *** in it, I don't want another Camaro. I wanted that penthouse to be mine, not ours, I'm afraid of water, why would I want a pool? I wanted you to keep those **** magazines so I could runaway and tell the police about what you've done to those poor models. Every time... I should have told you No... But every time... A yes was what formed.... No.. Not anymore... No.

'A Story with an (im)Moral'   Once there was a boy desperate to make some grand escape not exactly sure what from but determined by desperation nonetheless he found his solution of choice to be running away, in the elementary, running away from home sense not to be confused with the running of the 'Forrest Gump' specialty so away he went across all the boundaries he could find city, state, nation, ocean he crossed and crisscrossed them all until the places he ended up running away from brought him right back to the place he thought he'd never return to again normally at this juncture he would meet up with a forgotten sweetheart realize he'd only been running from himself and settle quickly into a story book situation of paper bliss and paste-flavored life however, he had always been more of an anti-hero kind of guy so after a quick fling with that sweetheart who, matter-of-factly, he had never even started to forget he left her sobbing in a corner over the should-have-been he robbed away from her and proceeded to absolutely decimate every tie he had left in that town he had always doubted that saying about burning bridges so he perpetrated a final crime as a lasting reminder that he had told the whole town to go **** themselves, in no uncertain terms -and by **** he meant it- he burned the only bridge out of town along with an ex-buddy from high school's pristine Camaro that turned out to be just the ignition that bridge needed it would be stock to tell you that he learned some grand life lesson and felt great remorse for his evil ways no such scripted end, though as he grinned into the wreckage smoking in the stream at the bottom of the gulch he was struck by a happy revelation staying away is so much easier when you physically can’t go back and his only parting thought was of how much time could have been saved if he'd only burned that stupid bridge the first time he left.

The floor is piled with tattered, age washed images. These faces breathe again after years behind the glass. I never knew he went there, did that, met her, and a subdued laughter joins the somber air. My first memories of you are like these dusty pictures. I remember my tall, wind blown, cowboy uncle from Texas. You had to be a 1980’s cigarette poster in my 4 year old mind, there in my Colorado world all the way from the home state that I knew nothing of. We rode a train; you bought me stuffed animals, your mustache reminded me of a bristly broom, and I stared at your cowboy boots of legend as you and my father talked leather and Cadillacs. I see a little of myself in your faded eyes looking back. I wonder which of these you look like now. What are those eyes beholding now?   We have only a feeble grasp of time. I refill my whiskey glass. I play the slide show again. I smoke a cigar much to my wife’s dismay. I cry, I laugh, I remember. Playing Battleship with you, When you gave it to me one Christmas, until you were sick of it. My first real bottle of cologne, your museum of a house with a real suit of armor, eating hot salsa to impress you, petting the dolphins at Sea World, you teaching me to draw , my high school graduation my wedding, and I remember… Not wanting to see you suffer while holding your hand. You were happy to see me even though it hurt you to talk. I am not writing you this for closure or maybe I am. Funny the way we lie to ourselves. I am writing to remember. Because I need the words to go with the pictures, I need to know where your were, was it Morocco, Istanbul, Rome, The Caribbean, Korea, Germany, San Antonio? What year was this? When did you have a Camaro? Who was she? Did you really get a date with Doris Day? You left me with too many questions, so I need the words to remember, for the sake of memory.

She loved to have fun The hot 'Party Girl" With a sparkle in her eye and a smile on her face No one on earth could keep up with her pace Where is she going, it'll be a surprise You can see the mischief in her eyes Let's do up the town, the city too! When she's finished with that, she'll find a new place to do! The world is all hers and she knew it too well Come and party, burn in hell... The red camaro is ready to cruise Don't forget the white stuff, and the bottles of ***** Speeding down the highway let the party begin Start passing around that tonic and gin Keep the party rockin, if you dare She gulped from the bottle without a care The road started winding, but she didn't slow down She's anxious and ready to burn up this town Where'd the truck come from? A load crashing sound The camaro flew through the air, till it hit the ground There was nothing left of the tiny sports car It burst into flames Her body floated high up towards the stars All she wanted was to have some fun The party was over, before it begun

The Party's Over
I see them still, From time to time, Their goofy smiles, Their laughing eyes. Still hear their ******* Their growled complaints, Their farts in the night, from five bunks down. The relentless joke telling, The brotherly jabs. Still see their sad empty eyes When no mail from home arrives. Oh and the lists of things That they would do, When back they'd go, Into the World, Added to daily, always growing. Get that new Camaro, "Set them tires on fire!", Cruse the strip back home and pick up chicks. Put on their Class A, And strut down the block. Find that foxy girl from English class, And make her his wife. Tell his old man, to actually **** Off!" We were but boys, Too eager and green, Posturing and playing at being men. What I wonder, would they have become, Given the chance to grow to a man? Young lives cut short by ballistic pain. So now still they linger, boys they remain, Night visions left in the mud and the rain.

Night Visions
They'd been friends for months... Meeting in a thunderstorm... Together days and nights before... From under chandeliers to dark club corner booths... Movies, music, cruising around town at night in the Camaro... Drunken dancing on the porch at 3;00am.... Beachcombing on hot summer days.. Deep conversations... Talk and yearnings for transition, pain, fear, anticipation of the unknown dreams that have haunted her whole life, that only he understands... Hangovers weathered on the couch... Late for work mornings after too much wine.. Feeling full of smiles that night, wine, lots of talk, deep talk interrupted only by moments of silence and thought.. Old music on the radio... It's snowing hard and long, blowing the leafless branches against the house.... Sounds of ghosts outside, transparent nails ***** scratching, with every gust... Wanting, needing, desiring to be let in... They both felt it.. Lonely quivers against the cold leather sofa.. The snow blows harder outside... The house trembles.. The lights go out with a loud crackling pop in the fuse box... They jump, and fall closer together on the couch.. Laughter erupts, as the wine absorbs all fear... Memories of summers moments. The sun on their backs turn to cold flashing shadows from blowing branches.. Sounds get louder, eyes widen... He rests his hand on hers, needing comfort... She trembles... Genders collide then disappear in the darkness... He touches her for the first time as the woman she's always longed to be.. They kiss and melt almost in tears... A transformer explodes on a pole outside... No attention is paid... Their hearts and bodies are consumed by love, nothing else matters, the whole world stops and takes a deep breath.. They touch, sensing things so new, so natural and familiar. Excitement and pulses that can not be imagined or explained... Sharing things neither had even knew existed before.. A love so special, so deep, so unique that they sink beneath the silk bed sheets, and disappear completely... Snow stops falling, wind stops blowing, they are both now blind, both deep in love, and both happier than they ever dreamed they could be... by Lj Mark, 3-24-15

Blind Weekend (trans love prose)
They'd been friends for months... Meeting in a thunderstorm... Together days and nights before... From under chandeliers to dark club corner booths... Movies, music, cruising around town at night in the Camaro... Drunken dancing on the porch at 3;00am.... Beachcombing on hot summer days.. Deep conversations... Talk and yearnings for transition, pain, fear, anticipation of the unknown dreams that have haunted her whole life, that only he understands... Hangovers weathered on the couch... Late for work mornings after too much wine.. Feeling full of smiles that night, wine, lots of talk, deep talk interrupted only by moments of silence and thought.. Old music on the radio... It's snowing hard and long, blowing the leafless branches against the house.... Sounds of ghosts outside, transparent nails ***** scratching, with every gust... Wanting, needing, desiring to be let in... They both felt it.. Lonely quivers against the cold leather sofa.. The snow blows harder outside... The house trembles.. The lights go out with a loud crackling pop in the fuse box... They jump, and fall closer together on the couch.. Laughter erupts, as the wine absorbs all fear... Memories of summers moments. The sun on their backs turn to cold flashing shadows from blowing branches.. Sounds get louder, eyes widen... He rests his hand on hers, needing comfort... She trembles... Genders collide then disappear in the darkness... He touches her for the first time as the woman she's always longed to be.. They kiss and melt almost in tears... A transformer explodes on a pole outside... No attention is paid... Their hearts and bodies are consumed by love, nothing else matters, the whole world stops and takes a deep breath.. They touch, sensing things so new, so natural and familiar. Excitement and pulses that can not be imagined or explained... Sharing things neither had even knew existed before.. A love so special, so deep, so unique that they sink beneath the silk bed sheets, and disappear completely... Snow stops falling, wind stops blowing, they are both now blind, both deep in love, and both happier than they ever dreamed they could be... by Lj Mark, 3-24-15

I thought you were my honey but you were in for the money I sent you to those classes I bought your ugly glasses I gave you that Camaro You shot me with an arrow I met your Kin You broke my chin I asked you why you punched my eye I gave you love You gave a shove I did your clothes You broke my nose I changed your sheets you walked the streets I walked your dog You called me hog I rubbed your feet You ate my meat I did your dishes you mocked my wishes You loved me not You sold my cot I did so care You left me bare You were in for the money Weren't you, honey?

IN FOR THE MONEY
It was one of those black, crystalline winter mornings. There was no moon or stars that could be seen. The coastal storms had harried our Midwestern weather pattern, dosed us with perhaps, a little more winter than we’d previously been ready for.   Out the door, on the street, just before five o’clock in the morning. The air is not still, but doesn’t have much movement to it. This breeze has teeth though, they bite hard enough that everything in me says that it might be a good idea to stop, turn around, get back under the covers, hideout for a few more hours. But, I’m already out here. I’ve chosen the Phillips 66 sign as my adopted moon, letting it guide my steps. I pass by that mechanic’s yard. The yellow IROC Z-28 stares at me with her dim headlights, reflecting the light of that ‘not-a-moon’ moon we’d both elected to go in for.   “I used to go fast”, she says. “Me too”, I say and keep walking. There was a time that I wanted that car like I’d wanted women I had known during years and versions of myself long gone. Really though, I don’t know what I would have done with those yellow fishtailing hips, those screaming tires, that black vinyl-wrapped steering wheel. Yeah, that car was very much like those long-lost lusted for women, in that I’d have been flummoxed as to what to do with them after a while. There are only so many red lights to run, so many hairpin turns to take, holding that yolk for dear life. There are only so many mindless rolls in the sack, only so many beers with bourbon sidecars. I keep walking. That yellow Camaro winks at me a few more times under the light of that gas-station moon. I keep walking. Nowadays we’d both make that same quarter-mile run to the Phillips 66 in the same amount of time. However, she’s all caged up in that chain-link lot. I’m not. I’m free. I’m cold, but where I’ll end up, I’ll fill up on biscuits and gravy, sit in a warm booth, hope that someone has already left a morning paper behind, and stare into the inky, starless pre-dawn sky. Likely becoming hopelessly infatuated with my adopted moon. *** -JBClaywell © P&ZPublications

Day falls and with it the temperature. You walk quietly through the night, As you do through the world. The cold pierces with agonizing blades of glass. Where is shelter? You thirst and hunger for more than knowledge. Your body is weak. Your mind is weaker. Where is love? My soul reaches out a hand to lift you up from the cold concrete. You take my hand. You take my shelter. You take my love. As best you can without clarity. A bitten hand. A shelter destroyed. An already broken heart. Every negative word they told me, piercing at my very soul like a dagger that cuts through the heart.  muscle surrounded by the dagger  does not bleed until removed. Once removed, that heart will bleed out and the victim, will die. I do not bleed from the heart, only from the eyes. A single warm tear falls upon where my heart once was. An Ashen Gray Camaro drives away into the night. One driver, no passenger.
