it was the moon that fell through. a lump of gray astronaut pale acne-blasted, an orphan of the dome, floating in a pond face down; gasping... green brass minnows surge through diatoms that have no word for moon; a legion of blind unicorn gall stones - invisible to naked eyes; uncountable geometries horde the dark waters they cannot disprove or disobey. large mouth bass inhale calcium polygons they have never met; that have no word for large mouth bass - that hasn't always been unknown as september is meaningless now, even more so, the meaning is less, without the moon... so the last tide is false. a satellite has lost it's grip and displaced a placid jewel of ice cold pause. in the backwoods of these. words. a. moon. is. breathing. in. a. void. teeming. with. ancient. life. it is a void, unfamiliar to a native of heaven. this void used to rise and fall in obedience to the wax and wane. in accord with her orbit. but now it burns the ocean of serenity with irony's forge. pounding the stainless steel of unfathomable loss; even the dross sustains a shape of things to come undone - when the hammer falls and the blacksmith is a poet born to ****** fables from mayflies. a natural. the hammer was in the hand before the moon gained a face or an ocean to adore it. it was there, ticking like a season, burgeoning with locusts - holding off the mob; the moon was long ago, slipping off the roof - long before firemen met lightning. the tide was a pious fool. the measure was not the span of the impending verse, but the hour of it's callous beauty, assembled. a lunacy, stripped of all moons. and only the sun remaining - to behold the uncanny descent of a faithful, vestigial goddess. a yellow throne. a yellow eye. and the sun's first chill... as wave after wave of syllables sum succulent sorrows - savoring sacred symmetries, asymmetrically... summoning - super luminary strawberry switchblades, saving sanity for questions with question marks. this poem fell through. a lung collapsed or not. and the moon is at the bottom of my heart.

a bodhisattva can fly a thinker can sink a buddha can be happiness an existentialist can try to disprove it on a walk, a stroll on a path littered with questions, a man asks himself ‘why?’ on that walk, a woman answers ‘there is no ‘why?” while swimming, she drowns and asks ‘what is death?’ during that swim, a fish answers ‘there is no ‘death?” while sleeping, the fish asks ‘who am i?’ in that dream, i answer ‘there is no ‘i” while living, i ask ‘what is it to be happy?’ during that life, the sky answers ‘there is no ‘happiness” i said ‘thank you. thank you, sky. you are too kind’ i will breathe you up and know that there is nothing. i will be content. nothing.

Little pieces of paper To threaten the existence of Little girls Why know English? To comprehend a language That many of us already speak ? Why learn Math? In ten years' time, I don't see myself doing set theory or applying circle properties to my occupation Its' called common sense And this common sense will lead me to believe and to perceive whatever I have to do In ten years' time At this juncture, I must ask Is common sense being taught? Why learn Science? Yes understanding the world before us Humanities? Science and Humanities Common foes Threatens each others' existence One looks at human conditions The other make theories to "disprove" that human condition Love is blind, says one. Love is Everything, "This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet" The great poet has uttered. Pieces of paper With marks scrawled in red Threatens my very existence Live your life to the fullest. Becomes a misleading statement. And then again, exams seem like a milestone And many of us frogs Which leap from one to another Drown in the middle Hop up to another A never-ending series of jumps All the way till I'm 22. Little pieces of paper To threaten the existence of Little girls

Some women smile because they’re excited to see you. Some women smile because they’re expected to. I’ve been trained to see the difference. Some women will say they love you, because the first date didn’t go so well, and they want to scare you off. Some women say they just want to have fun, then cry on nights when they’re alone. Some women just want to be left alone. Some women go out to the bar for girls’ night, but really are just there to pick up guys. Some women pretend not to care about Valentine’s Day. Some women are actually ready at 8. Some women will buy me dinner, and I feel grateful but still somehow less of a man. Some women remind me of my mother. This terrifies me. Some women think I’m gay. My ******** begs to differ. Some women are just too fat. Some women can pull it off. Some women commit, only to **** your best friend the next day. Some women love *** more than me. Some women want to be saved, others want to do the saving. Some women see my ***** as an act of hostility. Some women wish they had my eyelashes. Some women, I wish just had an instruction manual. Some women will never be content. Some women remind me sanity is not gender specific. Some women disprove this argument. Some women complain about money, then yell at you for working too much while spending $800 on a Gucci handbag. Some women understand a Sears purse works just as well. Some women have been deceived one too many times by men. Some women believe the right man will behave like Matthew McConaughey, or at least the McConaughey they see on screen. Some women prove that nice guys don’t always finish last. We’ve been raised to think otherwise. Some women wait at home at night, wondering if he will ever arrive, knock on their door, and show them that not all men are bad.

Thesis: There's an easy way to disprove that ignorance equals bliss:                               Your eyes were puzzles of space-time, studied through conversations fervent in their background noise- where I looked for one single oddity in what might have been the ordinary, except it wasn't. Space-time distorts around things of great                                         gravity and your light-consuming pupils pulled me towards you. Complexity, hidden in some unsuspecting darkness that I was dragged into... things I didn't understand until I reach our event horizon       and you and I are one. (As for my thesis: what great Nothing would we have been if I skyrocketed away for fear of the unknown?)

Space-time
i know this is just what i'm like because this is how i've felt every time i've gotten emotionally close to someone and i don't want to tell you what's wrong and i don't want to admit that i am sad inside because you like me well enough as it is and i don't want to ruin that. i don't want you to worry about me because i know i'll be fine and i'll be better and this sadness i've felt inside for the past six years doesn't define me and doesn't determine whether or not i should be loved. if anything love is something i know i deserve and maybe will help the effects the sadness has on me but i know how it feels to be hurt and my mind tries to pick and choose certain moments to try and disprove everything that you've told me because how? i look in the mirror and i can't see what you see and although that doesn't mean it isn't there they say seeing is believing and how can i believe something i don't see? my legs ache and my stomach hurts and the emptiness in my chest wants me, begs me to find some sort of control and i can't. this isn't something that is able to be controlled or manipulated. it happens or it doesn't, and that's just it.

I've been searching, and in my tone of lost hope, I call for you Many have answered, claiming to be my heart's Spartacus They battle for my love, only to show they aren't you Like a famished agnostic peasant, I question your existence With every experience, it becomes easier to disprove you Are you really there Will I ever find my matching pair Is it true That it's in the darkest hour, the light will shine through Is this a test of my loyalty to your love If it is, I must admit I will fail I've soared higher than any bird in search for you Only to share the mistake of Icarus, and fall back down I've swam deeper than any fish in search for you Only for Poseidon to help me drown Traveled the driest desert in search for you Only to be revealed that you are an emotional mirage I've been blinded by faith Deafened by tales of you Devistated by love

Sometimes I tap my cigarette in time to the syllables of the numbers nine through twelve. Sometimes I wonder if anyone knows what the hell I'm talking about. So I walk around outside to try to understand my mind just to get lost on a journey and leave it all behind. If you could join me, I'd show you all of the lights. The ones with deep meaning that make everything all right. But it's times like these that I'd rather be by myself: Nine, Ten, E-lev-en, Twelve. As a kid I always lived inside of my head. Backyard battles with demons were always so vivid. One time I stuck a bunch of duck feathers into the back of my shirt. I ran around the pool jumping - just trying to leave Earth. As I grew up, I maintained my thirst for adventure. Fell in love with facing fears - succumbed to a lust for danger. Always trying to disprove my doubts. Nine, Ten, E-lev-en, Twelve. Fell into doing drugs and developed a taste. Having fun with a new crowd. Learned to deal with disgrace, but sometimes I'd catch my reflection in a mirror and couldn't recognize my own face. But all the while coming closer to achieving my dreams. Knowing one day I'd fly away on my wings. Came to find out the true nature of the place that I dwell. An angel can't fly when he's trapped down in hell. Nine, Ten, E-lev-en, Twelve.

The man who lives in a mailbox Sings his song alone The rent he says is reasonable And he likes the tone. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone. His song is sung to passersby Always much surprised To pass a mailbox, hear a song Coming from inside. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone. Now, some protest, they say he’s mad They tell him he is wrong And some ignore his choice of home And listen to his song. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone.

do I speak in riddles? Or just in rhyme? I have no time for rhyme, so I speak in riddles so riddle me this do you play with a fiddle? Or a flute on a lily pad with soft clouds in mind? Or do you play for the devil in own spare time. Well I tell you this sir I play in my mind, with thoughts of demons, not angels, not heaven. heaven I can question, disprove and not find but demons oh demons they're real in my mind.

Morbus Animi
The minutes and hours drench and drift like evaporating mud-rain keening through the sides of my fingers seamlessly And my belly is warmed at the beigest radiator's synchronized glow. "Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own." Such were the words that glimpsed at truth, that attempted such sweet transparent reflection upon my runaway-from-home boy-adulthood daydreams. Whimsy scored without the tears but also without a grasp at love. Without a chance of knowing all its disappointments, co-dependencies and retreats. Hubris instead flanked like steam rising off morning windows to ward off the cold. Alone, (a recurring fantasy), I placed myself battle-rigid, regarding only what was then contemporary keeping a trench against the adherence of life's timepieces Allowing only seized elation of thought to cluster and ferment out of the ruins of the world. Reporting on all but life's safest discrepancy, the fear of ageing further, Everyday. What active pursuits had I, to locate and chase these memories with? If memory would challenge my conviction, these ballbearings, by talking back to disprove the self-image as being merely selfish? Will I feign to remember these words, nevermind the images, in fifteen years time? Perhaps only a spark (an imitation of: Gaslight, Phone Charge, Sun) is ever needed Chore-empty afternoons spent as if waiting in art galleries for Rothkos to explode, to echo, to ignite something catastrophic, Something permanently invigorating, that damages, that which further longs to fall apart.

The Source of Truth
**So we're all free, eh? If you start thinking outside the box, Going against societies grain, then you are snuffed out, Never heard from again. You can "whine and moan" all you want, But you'll soon be cancelled out, bad manners are a fine reason To throw you into the frenzied crowd.** Freedumbs indeed **Your days of voicing your thoughts are through, they've "solved Everything" by letting laws even go into motion that simple sanity Can disprove. These laws they always pass, your voice is never heard, Democracy manifest's evil will soon turn your life over to the birds.**

Freedumbs-Part II
You ripped the wings off of her so suddenly that, **** I didn't see it coming. Well, to make it fair, I wasn't there. **** that's so unbecoming of you. Well, **** you. How could you? She used to soar into her dreams a lot—her dreams that featured you. You and her, together—storming all the weather, and all the idioms I have wronged before. I'll be frank, kid, I've always known it was so much much more. I'm a cynical ******* but I know beauty when I see one, recognized hope— as hopeful as her hope could get, despite all the steep, slippery slopes that could have, should have pushed her off the edge, but didn't. Because she believed in you. She believed in wrapping oneself in soft flimsy shell, and waiting for it to harden until it can finally protect you—metamorphosis was what she believed in. Like the monarch butterfly, she believed in it all. She believed in larvae and crawling for the emerald pupaic goal. She believed you'll grow wings one day, for you're only just a kid She kept waiting and waiting, won't let you open the lid of her jar. She loved her jar but she loves you more. You love her, too, I can tell. Don't tell me otherwise. I'd be insulted, little kid. Oh, but wouldn't it feel nice to disprove my accusations, Mr. J the Ripper? For months, you pulled her wings apart ever so slowly So slow, in fact, that I somehow hoped you would stop and proceed to sew it back But you never did—no, you ripped her ******* wings off, bones fractured with loud cracks! YOU RIPPED HER ******* WINGS OFF, YOU ******* WATERSAC. I've only seen the horrid wound once and I can still smell the ichor from her back. I must commend you though, since decency was something you lived not to lack. I just wish you'd grown the wings she wished for you to have. But that cocoon must have felt cozy, so you never really left. I'd like to be polite now so beware of your first steps. You'll see the flesh whose skin you tore enough to expose. You'll see her face everywhere, in poems and in prose. (Now, I must bring my poem to a close.) And like the monarch butterfly, dear, she will remember— not just one, but all of it: all the pain you caused her, hurt you chose not to lift—dreams that used to hold her adrift Young lad, she'll remember everything I assure you: She will remember every. Single. Thing. (I wish your heart the heaviest of anvils, your mouth the tightest of zippers, your limbs the strongest of chains. I wish you luck, lad. I sincerely do.)

Don't get too confident Somebody will make you tumble off to the side It's just how this ride Of the wave and momentum goes You have to embrace it Or it will devastate anything you thought you had Don't question it Just imagine yourself as the best you can be at the moment Ignore the other lights Just ingest and harvest the energy you have To illuminate the rest of the space And become a better version of a flawed creation Improve your relations With the neighbors They might be a good reason your future Improves Don't try to disprove Me You know if you keep comparing You will be staring At only the dirtiest pair of eyes And the sane humans can only handle the most devious of eyes for only so long. Add your own theme But do not fall for the scheme That tries to entrench itself within everyone. You might find yourself feeling like a trillion Or a praised pavilion But one day you will be intimidated to such a point that you'd question your worth with the very bottom layers of the dirt My one condensed way of shortening this piece Don't. Life is all about mentality and choices.

I hear talk, of the cruelty, and heartlessness of humans, but I see things on a regular basis that disprove this. There is no cruelty in a childs kiss, the gently caressed cheek that puts a smile on your face. But, today I saw the clincher, a RIP sticker, for A Squirrel... It hit me like a punch made out of "What the **** I didn't know whether to smile and break into tears, or shake my head in curmudgeony disbelief. A memorial sticker for a road **** Would an animal do such a thing. I think not. They'd eat the thing or just as some leave it to rot. A Road **** memorial sticker is about the craziest compassionate thing I've seen... Animals don't memorialize us when we die... Of course, that's not true. I remember my dad's old mangy bloodhound... and how, after he died, she moaned everyday, at the time he used to come home from work. For weeks she did it, just sitting  by the door and moaning. Until the sun set, then she would slink and lie at the foot of his chair.. She died two months later. And if that isn't mourning I don't know what is. Maybe animals and humans aren't all that different, we just mourn differently.

Differently
Reality isn't what it seems to be it isn't touch, nor sound it isn't a taste, nor is it visual reality is what is perceived what is believed what is understood to be true even when the memory is not when the heart makes up its mind and the mind draws up its own conclusion then that is reality even when its wrong, unjustly created what is real? what is not? why what one person sees isn't the same as what the next person saw? felt? heard? is one of them wrong? if so, than how is it proven or how is it dis-proven? video tapes and voice recorders can only prove or disprove the event. not the feeling that was felt, or the mental strain that was placed. How can something feel so right to one person, yet complete tear down another? one thing felt so good, yet it was so bad for you? there is no spoon, nor is there a hand to hold it for as your mind bends to the force of your own thoughts the labyrinth that it creates spins your reality into something different, irrecoverable, irrevocable, irresponsibly I stand here, looking terrible in your eyes, and with love mirroring the effects of the icy stare I stand here, looking terrible in my own eyes. this is reality unfixable? unforgivable? unimaginable? maybe but if there is a chance to fight the reality to bend the spoon to show you that my reality is not your reality then...maybe for this is real, with two different realities
