Grow a Spine!
pain loves the present tense it loves gravity so that the clouds are turned into geological strata sometimes I use my hands like an anaesthetic between right and wrong the pain dillema: to feel or not to feel (the unknown) we discover clever remedies or illusions quiet cannery in the storehouse of flesh it comes in circles mixtures all kind of names it has rythm texture electric blackness each unshed tear an orb of contraction compulsive excavation of the void inside sometimes I feel I have canyons of salt in my heart on the edges of safety so much to learn about terror this pain is a blind Robinson on Hope island (with his bare hands he sets pyres in his heart) was it pain that invented this language, these holy wars? love you, hate you, nonsense, can't stand it anymore I know my father lied to me that he doesn't feel pain bodies in pain can't dream the water slide of life that might take us further away into the night of day time to say thank you, say farewell, love everything that simply is it is time to

Six Pack
Mammy's accidents usually happened Within a hundred foot radius of her stove. Except the one time she had to work Outside the home, At the Aylmer Tomato Cannery.      (*Daddy was in his wet season,       Being laid off was his reason)* The tip of her thumb was snipped, And gone. The joke never got old. Someone looked inside Every can we opened - From that day on - Truth is, We always knew A good bit of Mammy Was in her stew.

Blood Red Tomatoes
He swam across an ocean to steal a concubine from a potentate,hauled himself ashore in some oil rich state. Whitebait for sharks that roamed in the sand,fish for the cannery,what kind of a man was he? His saving grace,her face which monitored each move he made until he reached the palace gates, then flinging all aside he cried may God have mercy on this humble man who only tries the best he can and from the harem,a girl called Celsius ran into his arms which opened wide,time to hide ,time to run, time to burn,the desert sun does not play games nor names the bones which bleach upon its sands. Holding hands they stowed away on a short haul trawler out of the bay and here where fear was laid to rest the best was yet to come.

All or nothing
12/18/2014 Subartic winds howling down tunnel wind slleys sounding a lot, you know, like us. Smoke plums would climn up past our cupid's bows reaching fo the reaches of dark matter "oh don't worry about me"'s under the sweet toffee light of the cannery black haired boys would smile and we'd spit back more crass the light shining down on our columellas and the trefoils of menthol ginger history now- a boy would take out his lighter and somewhere behind us in the back of town we'd hear the ghost of a christmas Mel Torme song on the terrace of a good cafe.

On The Floor. (Very Explicit)
Neon bodega serenade Flamenco much unlike Miles More envy induced shangrala Sketches. Davis. "Man, if we only bottled up that essence..." There was a fenced in electric flourish Limbo-ED outside the cannery; Whose father left penny stains Under the sink? In Mexican Stand off fashion they ******* iced each other.

Penny Stains
I wince as I winch up my eyelids and the day lumbers up from behind to grab onto tin cannery row where the heads are hung low and the rent's even lower than that. The laughter's still here fuelled by narcotics and beer, Capone's found his true home at last. There are tears and you know it too, who among many have never shed any? Time flicks a snotball, a sleep or a wake up call? it's us who decide, but some like the slide and remain. When the tide turns again Avalon burns again waiting for Arthur. They're heroes and crooks fake *** in real books where real time is no time to delay. The ache lingers on the last hope has gone the lights are as low as the rent and the ache burns a hole in the nighttime of tin cannery row.

i'm going to bed. god.
OK! First the lollipop in the jar is missing And her feet are itchy, help us please... There's a cow doing cartwheels? And if I might ask did your pigeon sneeze? Reels of footage were left in the turkey baster, Am I wrong? You obviously don't hear lemons Whistling though, of course. And these days the Emporer of Donutland is poor, better send him Another hammed cannery of doom, let alone two. And this TV has too many billygoats fishing! And I'll be monster, She did grow a hat! Only minus the notes. Just as big smoking jerky, BLINDING, teeth raising...! Chewing itself a thrill.

Pointlessness Continued
He specifies. You know? Like the feeling when you wake up to a rainy morning on your day off. How your neck curls into the pillow as you pull up your fluffy duvet and you feel a special safety, certain comfort. His words are as exact. Choosing every syllable carefully as if laying mosaic. I'm not always good at understanding the picture. I obsess about one tile that feels out of place until he asks me to step back, the precision allows a specific illusion, but it's so easy to get lost in the cannery yellow and aqua marine. Out of context these variants of primary colors can lead me to so many different places and I often find myself in an entirely different scene, drifting down a stream of consciousness made of letters. Sometimes he'll come with me on this journey, indulging my imagination. But these scenes of mine are more like water color, each brush stroke bleeding into the next. And he is different. He is pedantic. He can obsess over finding just the right way to say something even when I understand, even when I'm there. And while I take an anxious breath allowing us both space to grow and stretch, I take comfort in the universe he creates. I take comfort in the exactness of the words he strings together. I take comfort in his pedantic way because he specifically says, "I love you."

He specifies.
We both had enough of the poison Springtime So you picked me up, and you started driving.                The street's Westbound,                 rain and wipers pound. We can be reborn if we can just depart                              our town. Race away--                   --like we'd set fire to Bon-Ton Lose a day...                    ...take 84 past the county line.                Let the rain keep time on the sunroof                                   'til we're fine.                               Do they ever feel it?                                 --Someone does!                           The grinding. Rewinding,                                 hit play to repeat                                           and then                                           get paid.                                         The payoff?                                       You'll stave off                           14 lies from their dead end eyes                                      for one fortnight.                                         Be forthright.                                         Am I blind?                                    Or do I detect that                                our headaches kind of rhyme? Make us reborn this time; phoenix down and back upright. Continued the drive and the world we're righting.                                  We killed our time                                and came back to life Just in time to return to our twinkling                                          town lights. When we have our fill of the pissant Summer, let me pick you up and we'll head out driving.                    past the Cannery                 until Rouse turns free our zipped up obits that we can't speak                           cleanly. Race away--                   --like we'd set fire to Bon-Ton Lose a day...                    ...take 84 past the county line.                Let the rain keep time on the sunroof                                   'til we're fine.                                 Let the rain keep time                                     on the sunroof.                                You'll be fine...
