"cashed" poems
A lifetime ago, I was younger like you, before my dreams faded and life was still new. I wish I knew then, all that I know now, I wanted our life but didn’t know how. I settled for less and tried the right things, and cashed in my soul for all that it brings. I’ve made my mistakes, like others before, forgiveness more fleeting, ‘til you closed the door. Waiting for answers, I went into shock, you left me no choice but to turn back the clock. I walk this new path while finding myself, forgetting our past is best for my health. As I move along, a decade removed, my body more fit now to go with my mood. I realize by now we could have had more, alone I will see what life has in store. I so miss the comfort of you every night, kindness from others, brings love at first sight. Each new encounter, just gives me a shove, reminding myself not to fall back in love. When, where and who will be the right one? I’ve so much to give, just let it be done. I may never take them, to become my wife, but I need embraces to sustain my life. Addiction exists with drugs and affection, I’m itching for love at each intersection. How long must I wait to rip out the sutures? Pleasure Delayer, indefinite future.

Frosty the Snowman (And his Brother Lou)
We enter the church and immediately have to push through two dozen sobbing Italian women dabbing dry eyes; their tissues only show black and multi-colored smears. Amid the echoing “Oh my Goawd”s, they lean down and kiss my sister’s cheeks, but even in my best black cap sleeves, I am the taboo to my cousin Janet, a woman as barren as the stone lot in between her husband’s restaurant and Deihl’s Autoshop. We find an empty pew, and watch as the men stride down the aisle, contestants in a cultural Miss America pageant where the wrong answer gets you whacked. Their heavy brows sink in condolence as they hand over stacks of bills, every hundred becoming a pity penny for all the moments Janet lost in her luxury-life made shiny by diamonds and cars and fur coats which can’t be cashed in for a second chance at a family. The men have paid for the food, the china, the band in the corner meant to fill the space of sadness— a reminder that we live a lavish life. My sister shifts in her seat and as a man walks by she touches his jacket, and gasps. He’s a god.

The Funeral for My Cousin's Husband
The other night I spent all of my tears & paid all my prayers, I had hoped it would end it all. My pillows cashed in the huge streaming check from every drop my eyes spilled. My blanket held me down while both thought took turns throwing hard punches & kicks at every square-inch on my body. Then my bones crunched with every attempt to fully drain the hope- -ful air in my lungs. I could only lay there. Twitching out breathless cries, rubbing blood out of my eyes & taking it all in for the whole night. The following day I brought these thugs to work   but no one else seemed to notice. My doctor tried to numb me with pills, & I must admit although they did work at giving it all the cold shoulder, it didn't take long before I struggled to use my shoulder With their knives & spears steaked into my skin. Every night now, I sleep to their stories & their bullying, eyes-wide, cut-throat, focused on breathing all night. I thought I could fake my way through it all but now these noices have started making sense & I don't know why I'm breathing anymore.

I've Been Contemplating Suicide
Seduced by the school shooter singing siren songs of shotgun blows to the heart beat  of the wet American dream. It's the human interest horror allegory The hero doesn't even get 15 minutes But the shadow has got a gun fetish Counting bullets as  They're counting blessings, numbered 1-27 3x his pump action  Light 'em up ***** 'em out  Some head-sick self-entitled  monster in a mask on a mission of mass destruction Cashed in on their little tax deductions The most sacred snuffed out before the light could become them It's the darkness that dominates As the dragon ********** Witch inside The mind displacing emotions away from the art of  living  loving  and losing You're the submissive Ascend the divine madness or find yourself in shackles in the machinery.  Humming hypnotizing hymns  of conformity  Another one's lost his mind Descended And the scapegoat  is mental illness We all know,  The media is the medium is the message The subliminal secret passage to the shared skewed subconscious Planting ideas of bloodshed Like evidence in the  Bodies of specific demographics  Demonize Pack the prisons Capitalize And cut the blood losses Here we are now Hopeless It makes for great entertainment

Tear Gas and an Innocent Frog

I spend my love on you like pennies tossed into empty fountains of youth - like loose change loyally saved, built up in a piggy bank, a compilation of broken promises you never made becoming blood clots in my lungs. I would say they're in my heart but I can't breathe when I see her. Tax season is over and my savings continue to drain - they sit at your doorstep waiting to be cashed in for what I thought was an investment but has become a liquidation of my entire being. Empty wallets haven't caught wind of my addiction, but the pennies on the ground talk. Found heads down, I give them a voice, and they, too, drown with the rest.

Currency of the Mistress*
© 2009 (Jim Sularz) Quiet mounds of yellowed tailings and dead weeds whisper low. And proud rusting relics telling tales of striking gold. The rush from East, from North and South, by wagon, train or foot. Days not all that long ago, in tall ships made of wood. “A gold rush struck in’49, all quite by accident. A burning fever that cut men to bone, in a sea of dingy tents. Day and night, they toiled and tolled, many headed home without a cent. But some packed out bags of glistening gold, and made a stop at "Buzzard’s Breath." "The town’s mud logged street, deep with horse manure, bubbled like a shallow grave. With a Sheriff’s office, a livery stable, and a church for souls to save. And a fancy house, on a grassy knoll – sign read, “Madam Lil la **** With soft, curvaceous ladies who mined for hearts – and gold of a different sort. Didn’t take long before easy gold, was extremely hard to find. And burly miners, tough as steel, moved in to hard rock mine. With bloodied knuckles, dented hats, they blasted at a furious pace. To find the gold, called the Mother Lode, yellow blood coursing through their veins! The mine they worked was called “Long Shot”, the men thought that name a curse. But the miners hankered for the handle, "Buzzard’s Breath”, and the mine’s name was reversed. As luck would say, they held a royal flush, when they hit that horse-wide vein. Of the purest gold, yet to be found, this side of the Pearly Gates. Eyes wide as saucers, they were all in awe, everyone was filthy rich. The miners should have all retired and should have cashed in all their chips. But a man’s hard to figure, when his blood is yellow, and he’s stricken with a gold fever. “Eureka! Boys, *** the dynamite and a whole lot more mining timbers!” They mined that vein to the bowels of the Earth, and the heat increased by day. "Buzzard’s Breath" became the hottest place, to Hell – the shortest way. And then one day, the men never came back. – Hell must have jumped that claim. Of the purest gold, yet to be found – that’s where the Devil mines today!” Quiet mounds of yellowed tailings and dead weeds whisper low. And proud rusting relics telling tales of striking gold. The rush from East, from North and South, died a slow and quiet death. Along with days of tall wooden ships, and the ghosts of Buzzard’s Breath.

Oh the cringing demon of eternal youth, ******* away promise and hard won truth. I see far more than *** lingering, in her eyes I see, instead, the milk teeth of youthful lies, of forever and today, hopes and screams replacing tomorrows, frayed at the seams. Oh, mere *** be gone, you sordid troll! Crawl yourself back in your hole. If ‘tis *** you brought to this trapped piece of light then speak to your own soul and leave me a bite of the apple she does not offer and the delights you think her youth will proffer. I have no time to dance to your twisted tune of youth over too fast and maturity too soon! What stinks more of your *********** her stretched, prolonged, aging youth or back bared, partial nudity? I giggle as I consider her Eve-like dreams of bitten apples and grander things. And God said, let there be light. Is that truly all He said when he banished the night? Maybe she is wet from being born. From demon Youth’s desperate grasp she is torn and into the world, for a moment, she is cashed; back bared and ready to be lashed by the ‘cruel’ reality we keep from youth… …like bronzed, baby booties and baby’s lost tooth. Maybe, coquettishly, she glances ahead, away from the bonds of youth’s birthing bed; not, as you apparently dream, toward some sordid affair you see in bared skin and strands of dampened hair! There is beauty in her eyes, it is true, the beauty of youth’s first, full faced view of tomorrow and tomorrows again… Exactly how long do you think, she should remain a youth, then? Oh the Apple that lingers past ripe upon a tree, Snakeless, Eve-less, unchosen, unbitten for an eternity. Shall we trap, virginal, in iron cages of our blind, stupid lust the false innocence of youth only tears and death can rust? Foolish, foolish Adam and blind, impregnable Eve; is *** all you can ever see? I can peer past your layers and layers and layers of false, bitter modesty. If you see *********** then know this, before you atone: You bring that demon wherever you go and it is yours and yours alone.

Some of us have twins, most of us have split personalities. Have you met Bandit yet? Our lives aren't measured in years, they're measured in our victories. So take your blades and spill some blood. It's a dog eat dog world. If you play The King Of Hearts, every hand in life it will only get you, cut, burned and thrown to the curb. Used, depleted, robed of every thing you can lose. It's **** without ******* & I'm done, like a cashed bowl. This hand I'm playing The Ace Of Spades. Revenge stings like a bee and like you said I have anger issues. I'm drawing again. I'm learning a new technique. Sketching you out, **** off. **** off. :)

# *In time.. You will learn to forgive yourself.. for  all  the reasons  why   you think you need   to forgive yourself. The blame,  and shame placed in to you was done  in the most   horrendously unfair way.. when you were  at  such a tenderly-young,   and impressionable age. It  was  your  v u l n e r a b i l i ty that was so horribly cashed in on. The greatest horror of all was the shame and blame that you were forced  to carry.. as if it was your own doing..    It    Was    Not.* #

There was a time I didn't stop to smell the roses anymore I just wanted to hide away from the world He took my childhood He took my trust All because of his sick ********** of lust It took me awhile to finally see That he was to blame for the horrible, awful ...not me Once I started cleaning out darkened cobwebs and the craziness from my mind Those roses started smelling sweeter and sweeter all the time Despite all that evilness from him I overcame and I am longer victim He on the other hand I hear is not faring that well Seems as though he has already cashed in that one way ticket to hell He can never hurt me or anyone else for that matter ever again He loses and ...I WIN

Lost Childhood
Where skin meets pole, In low society. Is where I thrive. This isn’t the right choice. Singles hustlin. Join me in these dollar days. This is your light switch entrance. Sitting at a marble bar Loveless love, pay by the song. Selfish fun, ***** talking on the jukebox. Jazzin’ to the music. Standing up on that marble stage, Showing the world whats yours is ours. Drunken memories lived to the fullest. I’m out trying to discover America. Stripped down to its rawest form. This road is laden with fallen philosophies. Tasting of ***** money. Bitter. Fully **** girls flashing. (lights) Blow in the bathroom. The nightlife you’ve always wanted. Movie star lifestyle. Dimly lit. Have some backroom privacy. Conversations with strangers. This is naked in all sense of the word. Sensual seduction. Classical redemption. Primal ecstasy. Trying to make amends with myself. This is a haggard lifestyle. Society frowns upon us. Shameful scandals. Fake lovesick mannerisms Paid for in advance. Exposed on stage. You’re in love with a stripper. Kitty, Desire, Destiny, Velvet. All the love you’ve been looking for, For the price of admission. Just sit back and watch the girls on stage. This is it. We’re searching for love. And if we cant find love, We’ll settle for lust and luck. You’re well taken care of here. Don’t you worry about a thing. Just don’t run out of money. Superficial lover for a pay as you go one-night stand. Never lonely here. Late night tonight. In the back of the club. Are we having déjà vu yet? You’ve been here before. You’ll be here tomorrow. Just a little longer now. Climbing up the pole to the ceiling, Only to slam down in the splits. Don’t worry it can only get better from here. This is the right choice. Bright light flashing. You’re finally in the spotlight. Sold out, checked out, cashed. “Let me do all the work sweetheart.” We must live the way we feel is right. We’re all trying to make our way in this world. Lets not forget each other. Cocktails anyone? Is this wrong? Living in this life. This party that never ends.

At the age of nine he wanted to die which was something I couldn't understand because I knew our mother loved us. desperation so doctors drill diagnostic decisions down his throat. I pray he won't choke on the shallow pills he has to swallow hollow dreams he has to follow. Sedating's seductive for families who can afford it. The Founding Fathers have forged my future, they've mocked my freedom and cashed in on humans. America likes to revive our problems with the quickest fix, money solves it. My brothers become another lab rat to solidify the fact that these pills are legit. Simply because his name appears on a list. Ignoring the fact his original pain was nothing but a claim against all of this cultural ********

Xanax
To Certain Poets About to Die Take your fill of intimate remorse, perfumed sorrow, Over the dead child of a millionaire, And the pity of Death refusing any check on the bank Which the millionaire might order his secretary to scratch off And get cashed. Very well, You for your grief and I for mine. Let me have a sorrow my own if I want to. I shall cry over the dead child of a stockyards hunky. His job is sweeping blood off the floor. He gets a dollar seventy cents a day when he works And it's many tubs of blood he shoves out with a broom day by day. Now his three year old daughter Is in a white coffin that cost him a week's wages. Every Saturday night he will pay the undertaker fifty cents till the debt is wiped out. The hunky and his wife and the kids Cry over the pinched face almost at peace in the white box. They remember it was scrawny and ran up high doctor bills. They are glad it is gone for the rest of the family now will have more to eat and wear. Yet before the majesty of Death they cry around the coffin And wipe their eyes with red bandanas and sob when the priest says, "God have mercy on us all." I have a right to feel my throat choke about this. You take your grief and I mine--see? To-morrow there is no funeral and the hunky goes back to his job sweeping blood off the floor at a dollar seventy cents a day. All he does all day long is keep on shoving hog blood ahead of him with a broom.

The Right To Grief
I cashed out all my chips got them exchanged for all their worth, the tattered rags upon my body I give back unto the earth for sacrifice to be accepted, all my blood turns into dirt. I don't want to be forgiven, just loose the weight, disperse the girth. I've tried so hard to lift my arms, but this body's just a curse I've got the prison of my skin beneath which all is coded verse  try as I might, I can't take flight though my head floats above the clouds nobody hears the violent storm which springs from out my mind, so loud convex'd, I'm hexed, convinced that I will not find rest the earth must feed from me and plant it's seeds deep in my chest.

Nobody mourn, nobody get hurt We just project redirect the blame and sink back into interactions with coping devices of mass distraction The artificial womb of the masses Tethered by an invisible umbilical cord feeding us way too much information Like hungry ghosts salivating the next notification We can’t run. We can’t hide. There’s a threat to survive, But we’re so ******* desensitized Seduced by the school shooter we don’t hear him coming singing siren songs heart-beating shotgun blasts That leitmotif in sync with The American Horror Story allegory Just forget it Too much in the queue Too many new things We can’t reject this reality It’s really ******* broken Em, I’m sorry we’re descending Much Madness has lost its meaning It’s just the means to unlock an achievement Emulate another scumbag. romanticize a villain amplify the bodycount Like how many do you need to ***** out before they give you the cover of the Rolling Stone? It's comedically-tragic, Stranger than satire. The Judge, the jury Executioner cutie cut all your losses for ya cashed in your lil tax deductions The most sacred snuffed out before the light could become them Get woke a-f, This is enlightenment! Come on get your mind blown! He’s the one who loves to shoot his gun But he knows not what it means knows not what it means. Do you know what it means?

Today I bought some cheap press powder That makes my face smell like cinnamon and old people. It was fifty percent off and I could not hold myself back. I cashed another pay check today, Money money money money. Everyone is really annoying. I liked it better when my worlds were separate. They have all collided as of right now. I just want everyone to unacquaint themselves, And/or go **** themselves. Because I cannot spare my feelings, As well as all of yours At the same time. Tonight I went to Olive Garden, I did not finish my mushroom ravioli. Oh well. Just another day in the life of a non-super hero.

Not Enough Effort
I dodged a desert eagle bullet and disappeared As the swan's trumpet rusted During the Pentecost As the ordained minister pressed play Chiang Kai-sheck pressed on against communists My horse got spooked by some type of anomaly Making me late for my two o'clock train So now I have saddle bags of useless words My cigarette's one giant granny ash And my bowl is cashed

“The grief therapist will see you now.” the perky redhead told us. Her rolling hips then led the way majestically before us.. Final arrangements must be made. as our loved one is gone; Melvin joined the choir invisible singing his swan song. He had been fading badly, and we knew the end was near. Now he’s a mortuary client, pausing for his final bier.. Thank God for prearrangement or we truly would be gored. It gets to be quite expensive when you’re sleeping with the Lord. He’s shuffled off this mortal coil and brought the curtain down. Soon he’ll be checking out the grass from six feet underground.. Melvin has given up the ghost. He was snuffed out in his prime. He cashed his chips in early, passing on before his time. “Your loved one’s in a better place.” The Undertaker gravely said.. “His ancestors have embraced him in a place of light, not dread.” Some will say he kicked the bucket, checked out early, bought the farm. The religious say he’s with the Lord, The perpetual light is on. Melvin, were he here with us, more likely would have said a better place for him would be that redhead’s poster bed.

The Loved One
A new day is dawning Been waiting for weeks Cashed in my pay cheques To pay for the tweaks Drawing, deciding, Doubting my needs Umming and ahhing This lust i must feed Booked the appointment There's no turning back Go under the knife Would you look at that! Followed the steps and handled with care The bigger the better But same face and hair Mid-chest attention They all think I'm dumb But not enough's changed So I'll have my *** done

BIG **** tomorrow
If ever there was a spark in mindless stupid would it not be the ladies remarking at scooped cut asphalt jagged, freeing suffocated Terre? the most fertile , the most thirsty. Lush outside. inside the skin? rancid repulsive desiccation, a piquant impulse for escaping love. Mouth's morning wift: gloomy, heavy, smoke. Eyes: blurrr, Memory: cashed Framework: gaunt & yellow, a Purple cadaver among stern Circles, reflecting the Nausea of popularprice

Words Heavy (Kiss Bukowski) Drinking White Russians with Black Kenyans, not joking you I was just in Ethiopia, this it not a Haiku or a Love Poem, this is gifted insanity like Jim Morrison, no jealousy I’m already Seamus Heaney, isn’t it ironic how we can be both depressed and happy, like a ghost that won’t leave earth, or a Self that’s over the hill but still tries to write **** oh that’s touching, like John Updike meeting E.E. Cummings, not gay no way, but I’d still kiss Charles Bukowski, no bukkaki though, because I’m a Simple Man and rather than, bukkaki I’d probably like to make Love One on One, I guess I’m New School and Old Fashion, flirting with Death like I’ve already got my chips cashed in, Life a Trip and can be a B!tch it depends on how you’re acting, as an overwhelming sense of anxiety creeps into me, like being Maya Angelou performing a show for the **** a Civil Rights Superhero, that makes Her point without any lustful thoughts of revenge, presence light as a snowflake, words heavy as the weight of the world on her back as it bends, words heavy as the weight of the world on my will as it bends, all the white watching my own show from the front row, drinking White Russians with Black Kenyans, joking I’m not joking, I was just in Ethiopia, this it not a Haiku or a Love Poem, this is gifted insanity like Jim Morrison… ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆

My head’s drenched, I lack an umbrella. My clothes are soaked, I lack a jacket. My chin’s to the puddles, So my brow drags the oil And I’d crack if I had to smile, If I had to say, “thank you,” Just one more time Under rain, under shame, and the Laughing gods above. With a sliver of scorn, I do muster one more “Thank you,” As I’ve got my pay; Cashed my last inch of dignity And quickly lost When I do the math and see That I’d spent more on gas As opposed to what I line my Pockets with – Lint and little more. With a dwindling fuel, Both in belly and beast, I leave for the ends of existence Knowing full well, I’d return, I’d come home, And when I can’t have food I steal this simple moment, A special kind of sustenance wherein – I don’t want to see my wife, My brother, or my mother. I don’t want to see anyone or anymore.
