Do I relate to the post-postmodern True-life voodoo incomes are hard-earned If I put a hyphen between words Does that spawn a new one like lovebirds Isn't love the same word that I saw Don't crows live like bandits and outlaws Don't they have the outlook of bourgeois Carry stolen crackers in their claws There's no change that I couldn't change Every change that I change always stays the same I wanna sing with a slingshot serenade I wanna donate change to a masquerade I wanna die while I'm in the spotlight I want my death to inspire a rewrite I want to blur the lines of insight I want to make them think that I'm their height So give me all your red green yellow blue If you can find a pool then I'll refract with you You're a mirage and your favorite color's see-through You're my fata morgana from this point of view Are there any words for my freakshow feelings Isn't sugarcoated terminology appealing Wouldn't it be easier to represent the meaning Of a hard to swallow concept with an arbitrary ceiling Cryptic cultish crease in the catalog Paranoia backtrack to analog I can run much faster than I can jog Magic circle summoning Chernobog I can break the barrier of sound and space With these essential elemental explanations in your face But it doesn't matter everything I say will go to waste Because the power of the mind is putting power out of place Hindsight reflecting, teenagers texting Late to the punch with the big money flexing Let's settle this with a match in the ring Or a match to the rope of a cannon firing I wanna die while I'm in the spotlight I want my death to inspire a rewrite I want to blur the lines of insight I want to make them think that I'm their height I wanna hypnotize and paralyze I wanna make them think that I'm their size I wanna break their spirits drink their blood I wanna **** their souls I wanna **** them good

lovebirds
Do I relate to the post-postmodern True-life voodoo incomes are hard-earned If I put a hyphen between words Does that spawn a new one like lovebirds Isn't love the same word that I saw Don't crows live like bandits and outlaws Don't they have the outlook of bourgeois Carry stolen crackers in their claws There's no change that I couldn't change Every change that I change always stays the same I wanna sing with a slingshot serenade I wanna donate change to a masquerade I wanna die while I'm in the spotlight I want my death to inspire a rewrite I want to blur the lines of insight I want to make them think that I'm their height So give me all your red green yellow blue If you can find a pool then I'll refract with you You're a mirage and your favorite color's see-through You're my fata morgana from this point of view Are there any words for my freakshow feelings Isn't sugarcoated terminology appealing Wouldn't it be easier to represent the meaning Of a hard to swallow concept with an arbitrary ceiling Cryptic cultish crease in the catalog Paranoia backtrack to analog I can run much faster than I can jog Magic circle summoning Chernobog I can break the barrier of sound and space With these essential elemental explanations in your face But it doesn't matter everything I say will go to waste Because the power of the mind is putting power out of place Hindsight reflecting, teenagers texting Late to the punch with the big money flexing Let's settle this with a match in the ring Or a match to the rope of a cannon firing I wanna die while I'm in the spotlight I want my death to inspire a rewrite I want to blur the lines of insight I want to make them think that I'm their height I wanna hypnotize and paralyze I wanna make them think that I'm their size I wanna break their spirits drink their blood I wanna **** their souls I wanna **** them good

You like to say love disappeared. And I swear it never left, but she talk like Kanye "Ima let you finish" shrug her shoulders; cut me off, Swift.     Drinks on the table it was no one else's business, Henny in my system there was no one else who witnessed how she never took a breath like a run on sentence so I'm in the club flexing working on my fitness; arms out stretched on my chest crucifixion.     I'm forgiven but could never get a word in not even one syllable I'm talking in synonyms I, never ever nevermore, words with friends.  Triple word how absurd you be trippin **** on my Instagram insecurity I'm tired of it I'm with my Boys chillin rarely smoked but might burn a spliff; ease the pain so insane major Payne fatigue is in.       I got a glimpse of future, I use to, try to hit you up reconnect, bluetooth, I'm in her ear lying for the *** I miss you, she on top giving me the truth: this all you.  But **** it though I'm not trynna be your man, but when she leaving out for work I be sleepin in and when she home I tax that *** like I'm Uncle Sam nothing ever change so after head she be at my neck next     Flashback to the present --and-- she still telling me how I don't get it stressed unproductive in her presence, you not even in front of me I'm still tasting lemons; Yo, my star player wants a trade should I let her go? cut too deep for bandaids should I let it flow.       Throwback to the past vampire clothes but the blood different I'm a sucker for that red though: she was floating 6 inches from the earth floor, you's a victim baby true blood, spoil us!  Show Me What You Got lil mama let your "Kingdom Come" dressed in all black spending money black republican?  Awesome and some; I was sliding home she was catching, clamping; say I turn her on like a touch screen, Samsung; with a touch of color you would disobey your mother as I slid under your covers mid-day massages "Midnight Maunders" at least that's how it use to be, now Award Tour got her trippin almost frequently we use to fight for love she said now she a causality!         "and how you gonna make this bout you it's about me, phone ringing since 1am it's about 3   thought you was slick huh, thought I was sleep, you **** right love disappeared" but she never leaves.

Am I attractive, hot, or **** Or just a forlorn idiot flexing In order to join the *** scene? I put a towel down And set up a picnic My head spins round From the dirt they kick On my meal To make me feel Scared and alone With nowhere to roam So I stay here laying in the sun On the other side of a Gatling gun I searched for a savior Who's willing to say words To me For free My search was fruitless My eyes turned youthless I grazed in the grass As time quickly passed After I finished my food And was left there to brood I became a floating satellite That was accustomed to night Because of my frights That reflected all light Now I see ants trying to feed on my crumbs They must think I'm pretty desperately dumb To not know they enforced my segregation When I had naively sought validation I waited there silently salivating They responded by not validating It's for that bitter reason During my new season I reflect my light on the approaching ants So I may thwart their encroaching dance My humble heart yearns As I watch bugs burn They wouldn't partake in my feast So I morphed into a brutish beast Now they're here to eat what's left If they can survive my dragon's breath They put out the fire in my heart But ignited my mind My useless humanity parts As I focus on time A time that keeps passing While signs keep flashing As burning bugs dying Or sad satellites flying My life was no peaceful picnic After they noticed my sickness And left me alone For that is my home When I don't need validation anymore I search for love Unfortunately I know what's in store A picnic in the mud

new years eve (18+)
I did not hesitate when I boarded the train, caught between the salt and German time; with fingernails yellowed with cigarette grime, to come to Paris for it's tepid, sweet rain. Nor I did tremble with with fear and strain, flexing my pride in Prague with the prime that only is granted to the young, at nighttime. I left nothing back by or in home, but I feign-- for crookedly placed by the cold Danube, I felt a finger of hurt despite my endeavors; for as water pooled in those iron shoes, I felt everything that I didn't wish to remember.

Poet, be not afraid. There are far worse things than Bad poetry. Keep writing; like a child keeps Drawing with the purest of Disregards to likeness. The more stones you turn, the more Gems you produce. The more ink you rain, The more gracious your written Children grow. All flexing builds muscle. Rough bricks form castles. Even Dalì carved canvases to shreds And started anew Not caring too much. Not caring Too much To keep painting.

A fitness woman who had a boyfriend who didn’t train But the love affair that did remain The fitness woman being named Jennifer who always took care of her body even when she was in her teens Yet Ted being her boyfriend really didn’t have any interest in exercise But it was Fitness Jennifer that captivated Ted’s eyes It wasn’t until Jennifer introduced Ted to a competing male bodybuilder named William Ted Seemed Ah and noticed all his muscle detail protruding through his T-Shirt of William Later Ted went home and gave a good thought that maybe he should try exercising and thought about William in giving him guidance Fitness and muscle running through Ted’s mind But will it convince Ted to exercise with the thought divined Well barbells became Ted’s start in train William who was a competing Bodybuilder to help Ted through various exercises in helping Ted establish his own physique Well things were on go with the idea of mystique In a span of two years, Ted now had a muscular physique that he could be proud of, and was thinking about stepping onto the Bodybuilding platform Well Fitness Jennifer gave Ted all the encouragement he needed Persuasion became defined into pursue It was all the encouragement coming from Fitness Jennifer due Ted stepped on stage for the first time, and was a little nervous, but when the music started and he started to pose, the audience gave a raw of applause and being totally amazed He was standing next to other Bodybuilders who were more advanced But Ted saw a vision, and wanted to take a chance As names were being called out, there was a certain anticipati8on in how Ted did Yet Ted felt he wasn’t going to win and it was the end Suddenly Ted’s name was called out in first place After all that there was no time to waste Ted proposed to Fitness Jennifer right there on stage Fitness Jennifer was very surprised and she said yes without any hesitation The multitudes of applause Fitness Jennifer and Ted kissed with a cause Immediately, muscle became two heart shapes Muscle being true love and the flexing of two doves.

Dear Nike, No better felling then when I get that new shoe smell Fresher than a spring breeze Like a wizard making a new spell I reach out and grab my Nikes Pull them on my feet They are Comfy as a the softest cloud Smooth as the purest silk Magnificent as a majestic eagle spreading its wings to fly off into a deep red sunset They make me feel relaxed as  sitting in the shade on a warm summer day When I wear you I feel as strong as the Rock lifting a thousand pounds faster than Usain Bolt shattering a world record and hearing fans cream his name All the pressure off It's just my Nikes and I I'm a blur with my nikes Fast as a cheetah sprinting after a desperately bounding antelope Can't even see me People try to keep up All they do is trip up When they glance up from the cold hard ground thick mud covering their face All they see are my beautiful piercing green Nikes Running down the court Legs pumping Muscles flexing So much sweat pouring off my face its like a raging river I taste the sourness of salt in my mouth Next thing you know It's all over The buzzer roars Everyones jumps on their feet All eyes locked on the ball flying through the air Fans screaming like angry banshees so loud it could make you deaf Swoosh And it's all over There's a reason Nike means victory It's because no one can even compete Before the battle is started they've already been beat People who don't wear them Just haven't realized that the shoes they wear are inferior Do their shoes give them the power to jump one thousand feet Sprint at the speed of light Make exery shot they take No On the torn up field On the scuffed up court It doesn't matter When I wear my Nikes They make me fly Around the world Through white wispy clouds surrounded by beautiful baby blue sky Across the endless oceans full of green and turquoise churning water and silver jumping fish Through fields full of long dark green grass Feeling the wind blow through my face like an angry hurricane Its like I'm in the flashing streets Hong kong Nike shoe game is just too strong Love, Zach

I've been using crutches ever since I was small. It used to be my parents when I would fall. Lacking the strength or knowledge to stand on my own, they would lead me teach me support this insecure child. I've been using crutches ever since I was small. A shot of ******* another sip of alcohol. Liquid courage to face the day, flexing my beer muscles for the ladies my true self atrophied from years of inactivity. I've been using crutches ever since I was small. With my crutches gone, it's time for me to stand tall. I've worn out every crutch under the ballooning weight of my insecurity and now with wobbly legs and unsure steps, I must learn to stand on my own.

Crutches
I walked a spiraling Stare back at the abyss: Leaping forward walking I see the rage of a Cross, four-dimensional Pebbles shattered stained To the side, spiraling back, cut-up and found what if I walked on them giant drooling drunken mirrors obtuse staircase haunted confusing gravity, nothing up from mushrooms woman lighted flexing looping, at apex; a mirage? that can cry; all around; tesseracts; infinite; at quantum. Lead kindly light, vigil voice, enlightened woman,   angel face.

The staircase to nowhere
This house has been far out at sea all night, The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills, Winds stampeding the fields under the window Floundering black astride and blinding wet Till day rose; then under an orange sky The hills had new places, and wind wielded Blade-light, luminous black and emerald, Flexing like the lens of a mad eye. At noon I scaled along the house-side as far as The coal-house door. Once I looked up - Through the brunt wind that dented the ***** of my eyes The tent of the hills drummed and strained its guyrope, The fields quivering, the skyline a grimace, At any second to bang and vanish with a flap; The wind flung a magpie away and a black- Back gull bent like an iron bar slowly. The house Rang like some fine green goblet in the note That any second would shatter it. Now deep In chairs, in front of the great fire, we grip Our hearts and cannot entertain book, thought, Or each other. We watch the fire blazing, And feel the roots of the house move, but sit on, Seeing the window tremble to come in, Hearing the stones cry out under the horizons.

Wind
The middle class idea of theft-- where we eat at semi-fancy restaurants seated at faux leather interior deep seated dimly lit coves dine in a sarcophagus of tasty mildew. A youth lends their smile teeth faintly shine through, but roughly cut short of sincere; on their lapel in fine print the label says Sandy. Flexing water spotted plastic black brim borders and articulated names of food that would put all of Italy to shame. Porcelain plates hold lofty portions of what is purely compensation as texture and flavor remind me of my adolescence this is when Playdoh and Crayons are used for flavoring. A slate for my signature is provided and the upside to this all was the perfection of a pen they lent me it was ball tip and bright pink-- finally something I'd be glad to take home with me.

The Restaurant Reviewer
I warned you, son. "Don't break her heart." Now you think about that while I rip you apart. I don't know what it is you seek, but my sister is out of your league. Failed to see how lucky you were. Did not heed my warning when you texted her What kind of ***** breaks up via texting? The same little ***** that thinks bussing is flexing. She'll move onto better, just for a toy. She won't wait long for a mere busboy. I could go on forever about things that you lack. Like, interest, money, a life, a six-pack. You'll never be good enough for my little sister, but I hope she's moved on when you realize you've missed her.

To The Boy That Broke My Sister's Heart
Head held high, flexing the shell bright lifestyle, I know it too well. It’s a tall tale to tell but its best that you know that things get better at the end of the road Not too long ago, I felt the same way I dealt with demons that crept in the grey And maybe it’s hard enough to ask for help but it’s harder to watch yourself give up once you’ve left the shelf Nah, I couldn’t stomach the pain like a trumpet, I blew the in out of sane. I popped open a vein to paint my blues, violet and threw a pair of cans on to block out the silence. I’m not defiant; I defy any tyrant that tries to buy my compliance. I ride with the giants, stride like Midas minus the greed, all I need is kindness. Spread your wings; shed the ego live amid the kings like a needle. Be your own hero, succeed the sequel take charge, zero in on the easel. Reach for the stars, you are an artist Van Gough goals; erase all the hardships. I may try my hardest but I’m not the smartest but good work ethic leads to a harvest. Reap my carcass, long after I’m gone, brains over brawn, shame on you all for thinking that these walls can hold me in. You get the memo? I’m better than I’ve ever been. Binge drinking is a sickness in itself ***try to **** the pain but the pain kills the help*** as well as low thinking it will **** your brain cells ***if you try to **** the pain, you will **** yourself*** © Matthew Harlovic

I love how you sound Writhing beneath me A surprise in your voice Your legs trembling. The muscles in your body Are flexing and tensing Your hips are rising Your breath is so heavy. I love how you sound It's my favorite part Usually a quiet mouse But like this, so raw, so untamed. I've never seen you like this I marvel in the moment In your rapture of ecstasy A hum between my own thighs. It's exciting to see you Let loose like a trapped wind Blowing out wildly Like you've never been free to breeze. It's easy to please you Because it pleases me Especially when you're writhing Beneath me.

"Beneath Me" - A saucy poem #2
Pluck one fat orange body from the water Slippery fins pinched between finger and thumb Wiggling, wriggling struggling for life Pointless life with a five second memory Fat drops of water leave trails across the counter top Plop, let it fall onto the plate Gills flexing Mouth agape Open, close Blank eyes stare upwards Watching reflected light from the water ripple on the ceiling The first thing to be spooned out Spread over fresh toast Like butter before jam Goldfish on top of eye jelly Fat orange body still wiggling Wriggling, struggling for that pointless life A five second memory Gills still flexing Mouth moving slowly Open, close Empty eye sockets now watching nothing Still staring in mute horror How strange I hear no one questions No gasping people with pointing fingers Screams of horror as they flee Nothing... No one cares About goldfish on toast

Goldfish on toast
my finger-prints where my hands have been flexing their digits many a crime-scene de-crimed by reason of ignorance here our thumbs separate us from monkeys

mine and yours dear sibling thumbs rest on destruction
Most days I wear flip-flops because I am too lazy to wear socks, and I like the feeling of summer somewhere close to me, and I like to watch my feet move. Do you know, there are so many small little bones in there! it amazes me. My mom used to massage my feet to wake me up. She's been the best foot-massager of all, better than all the friends and the boyfriends. Better than the early morning sleepy-satisfying stretches, better than the feeling of sunlit warm wood on my bare feet. Better than grass. Her calloused hands, and softly hummed melodies. Tattooed arms, faded turquoise. Sun on her skin. If I could see my mom in myself every time I looked in the mirror I think I would be relaxed. I would play more music. I would spend my next paycheck taking a day off with a pina colada and tattooing a turtle, on my foot, just like hers. Flexing my feet. Cold night air. Flip-flopping on the concrete. I wish I could dive into the ocean, ice-cold, something worth laughing into the nighttime. So much seriousness all the time, I think that people need to eat more butter and not take skin to mean so much. Silly, really, I guess. But a Mom-massage might just mean the world sometimes. And smiling with someone is like a Mom-massage, right when I need it most. To everyone who's been there, thank you.

Why I love feet, and people, and why I try not to care so much, and why I love hugging, and why smiling is everything
Most people think I'm crazy My flow can't be called lazy My soul in my words From my heart spills nouns and verbs My mind is quite explicit 18 or over to buy a ticket A mamas boy I am My mother raised me wicked I also have a father Was selfish didn't bother Was thirsty for guidance I found my own water No one really knows me I am the one and only Trust my dedication Watch me while I'm showing Life can be gamble Test the latest sample Take your shot while your hot Make your effort ample I know not why I say this Not in this to be famous As a poet I grow..flexing my freestyle flow..for that I am shameless

why is the remote always shoved in the couch cushion
In the corner next to the underpaid electricity where no one wants to sit and reheat leftovers admitting each bite taste better than the original, hardly ready to walk down an isle of silver ware but if I were I 'd pick the Waterford to match during the reception I'll wear my glass as glasses the shallow smiles will ask my dress to snake as I crave the framed grace, the crisscrossed napkins and two bites of the others peanut butter truffle cheesecake, I'll hardly have to worry about a thing, easy on the musty air my lungs won't stop flexing this microphone everyone saw got unplugged an hour ago and as the last couple to enter will be the first to leave I'll eat a strawberry to taste the sweetness of the moment later I'll put my guard down long enough to side slip a glance to the guest who walked around laces flapping, shoulder tapping, fingers mapping with eyes stating the impossibility of believing any of it

she stood outside the apartment finger halfway up her nose scratching with her free hand a **** loosely encased in patchy, ***** blue jeans ratty sneakers with holes where her toes and dignity poked through usually a whiner, a brayer a donkey among gently purring cats calling down thunder and racket like a motorcycle tearing circles through a lamp shop today, of all days, she swayed silently in loose waltz time to soft piano of a long-dead Frenchman curling down from speakers mounted in windows across the street her misshapen hips and flexing calf muscles lifting her up in a rude en pointe somehow made elegant by a quiet ballad, a soothing moment on a hot August morning in Main Street of the hinterlands. 2/12/2015

Clarie, duh loon.
The Cut-up cut out and cut down The Middle man then cut in while he and his date were dancing He tried to strike up a conversation but struck out when she struck down upon him blows of reigning rejection Now The Psychopath and The Sociopath are at odds The Psychopath thinks The Sociopath is sloppy and his ideas have no longevity The Sociopath thinks the Psychopath is just having growing pains and need to learn to live a little The Psychopath was born into this, but the Sociopath was born onto it The onset of calculated impulses Contain yourself Control yourself Looking at it from an ethnocentric point of view Entertain the idea that you may be the antisocial one Humor me on this one Would a smart person waste hard earned money on an "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt? Postulate the theory that their are six degrees of separation That you are a few hellos to someone who is a friend of a friend every way you turn And that person may or may not rupture the cycled path you've been treading Told to be prompt To have good posture To do regular pruning to our appearances and keep them up But price and participation always vary Is it a tad underwhelming or did I speak too soon? Was it lost in translation? It's called acorn theory Not what you came with Not where you came to Or even where you come from But what you came as And will continue on to be The hustle and bustle Packing heat Flexing muscle In the big bad city
