Orange juice then frosting Orange juice then frosting Time is repetition As I watch from the couch “He won’t last the weekend,” Says Hospice “They said he might not last the weekend,” Says Dauson He’s stronger than they know, I say Orange juice then frosting Orange juice then frosting False hope, of course I can see the way The cancer fights Deceiving the guards Hiding and attacking Slowly taking what’s theirs Slowly killing, Spreading down towards the Ground then rocketing up Until his psyche Dissipates into nothing Orange juice then frosting Orange juice then frosting “Go hunting, it’s opening day,” He says They listen But only because He yells at them to She goes out to smoke My grandma with my grandpa’s killer “Can you pick Dauson up?” Says Mom to Tracy Keith’s mother, Mother of my brother’s “brother” Orange juice then frosting Orange juice then Frosting I know it’s coming Yelling it’s arrival Like the steady beat of a beating drum I’m surprised That no one else Can hear it That no one else Can feel it Permeating the air The shadows reaching out With tendrils made of cold Made of smoke Made of death’s sweet kiss Orange juice then frosting Orange juice then frosting Time is fast forwarded Laying him down on the bed “Melissa’s almost here, The boys are almost here” And then time stops for a moment He’s facing me Eyes closed, mouth parted A single tear that is his own Freezes on his cheek Orange juice then frosting Orange juice then frosting You asked what changed Me the most? What made me who I am today? A grave stone A wooden cross Seeing a man die slowly Day after day

Was so fragile- She could be cut by callused palms. Could be bruised- With the stroke of her makeup brush. Lays so sound- She could wake up to the car door slamming in the garage. She is so thin- Light shines not just through her eyes- But through her chest, hips, lips, and- No warmth is transferred through her kiss. She breaks like hardened mud. You could sink into her like quicksand. Her body, is built like a storm. You can watch the blood in her veins- Meet your fingers at the surface- You can still see what you have drawn in the morning- If you can even crawl out of bed to crack the blinds. She likes thunderstorms. She likes the smell of dirt. Her eyes were gray- And her tongue is stuck to the roof of her mouth. She can dance in the sun- clumsily- And still be the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. She could sing- Off key- But her emotion is what makes those notes gold. She lays like stone. She moves like running glass fast forwarded. Her voice is thunder- And her eyes are the winter. She lays hands on you- Only to heal. She can mend you- as easy as bending a wire coat hanger. Her skeleton is like flint- How it sparks against mine. Her body is so fragile- A word could hurt her. and a stick or stone- would certainly **** her.

Her body
They walk beside me                                       always late for something.                                          Quickening loafers                                    compete against themselves                                           emphasising their importance.                                                            Go!                                        Choking on their breath                           in an over-zealous attempt to identify                                              What's freedom?                                           This fastened reality                                          Punctures inner peace                                           my energy disperses                        Like a balloon buzzing as it loses momentum.                               When did Life become a marathon?                             When will I decide where I want to be?                                                                      Conversations shout themselves out..                   an energetic argument before their words reach the air..                           Will you ever confront your disguised pains?                                             My mind's elsewhere..                                            I'm trying to figure out                          the last time I saw your body unclench itself.                                                                                  And i'm a little confused,                            because I don't know whether to accept your denial                                                                   or                                     continue to disconnect from reality.                                                        And I question,            If we all mirror eachother, what part of myself cannot find peace in you?                                                                                 I observe this anxiety in motion                                                stuck forever in a hurry                        leading itself down roads that end where they began.                                                   And I wonder,                                            *If their legs were to rest                   would they have to pick their head up from the floor?*                                                                                      Like buddhas in a city,                                their lives are a fast forwarded tomorrow                                        as the present hurries along.                                                            And I ponder,                    Does the truth stop blinding when silence doesn't teach?                                              A quickening motion                                                       Changing with every step.                                                    Acceleration..                                                  human race...                                                         Go!                                              Chasing of thy death..

come on darling take a chance with us our meat is on the seams of a blue-blooded funeral a **** body burial, and the volcanoes laugh the thumbs shake as the fingers dance makes the rain pull its roots on for the showcase the generic plants will perform a feral routine every **** a command-stop forwarded the nucleus inside of a vitrified half-assed colon and if they shiver they will find their saw tailored to the head of that aurulent god a caterpillar reads the braille and follows my wrist he condescends, and breaks notions causing new alarm they are all special, green feet and orange sinewy lines he casts his blame he curses across the myriad storms gold minarets in the distance serpents living under man-made rocks counting down the seconds on armageddon's clock a lion counts his livestock he puts his socks on, he wears a headdress in the shape of a flame just outside the shadows of an autumn day

Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system. [Katherine] is not available. At the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up, or press "1" for more options. [Beep] Katherine, please, pick up the phone. I'm sorry that I keep calling, I know you probably don't wanna talk to me, but please answer. I can't just sit on the sidelines anymore. I haven't seen you smile in weeks, and some days, I don't even see you. I can't approach you without you turning and walking away quickly. You're isolating yourself, and I'm really worried. Please, answer my calls, please talk to- Are you still there? To end your message, press "1." To continue recording, press "2." To hear more- [Beep] At the tone, please continue your message. [Beep] Everyone's talking about it. I've seen posts on the internet, heard people gossiping about it, even the teachers have brought you up. It has felt wrong not having you around, not seeing you doodling in your notebook during class, or walking down the nature paths admiring the trees. Everyone else doesn't seem to feel the same way I do. They know, but they don't seem to care. Maybe that's what made you think that nobody cared. God, I miss you so- You will be disconnected in thirty seconds. [Beep] The funeral was today. I was one of the few from our school who actually came. I tried to give your family my condolences, and I started to choke when your mother began to cry. God, the whole thing was hard; hearing family members tell stories, seeing you lay there motionless. I was happy they put you in a long sleeved dress. I didn't want everyone to see that part of you; not that it matters much, because everyone knows that is how you died. Everyone left an hour ago. I've been sitting by your tombstone watching the sun fall into the ground. I keep hoping that you are somehow hearing these messages, that you'll call me back any minute. I'm not sure how the cell service is six feet underground, but I'm still hoping. I'll always be hoping. People will be moving on, but all I can do is choke on my words and I yell into a dead girls voice mail. I'm sorry, Katherine. I'm so so- You will now be disconnected. Goodbye. [Beep Beep Beep] ... I'm sorry. This number is disconnected, or no longer in service. Goodbye. [Beep Beep Beep]

In an age of persecution When Christians died For their beliefs Apostle John wrote Revelation To encourage and Bring relief First century folk Who held Jesus' tenants Were martyred in Most horrid ways But John wrote about His coming Christ described the End of Days. The early faithful Found their solace In the Gospel Sweet & pure The Bible's WORD Was ever spoken And its precepts Still endure Modern man cannot Believe it Because he has A hardened heart But when tribulation Finds him Rest assured he'll come apart! So we put our trust in Jesus? IS He simply "fairy tale"? Why did Christians Sing their hearts out When lit on fire and impaled? How could they endure Having their heads drilled Molten lead then poured within? How could could they Be so calm & joyous When lions tore them Limb from limb? Their contemporaries Could not believe it! When Christ was preached It was received! The Gospel forwarded By each man dying By their blood The folk believed! Now Christian people Won't mention Jesus! They give sin a little wink! They're afraid of persecution By caring what the Lost may think! Wake up, folks! The toast is burning! Give witnessing The college try! There are hearts Who're out there yearning! Cap'n Crunch waves us goodbye! I may get flack For this assertion I may get comments For to spare I may get called A backward person People... I don't really care! If I don't warn of God's Judgment Tribulations in this land I'm not a Watchman on The Wall here And your blood is on my hands! I'll read & preach From Revelation The ending always Helps us cope Read the outcome Of our suffering It will give ETERNAL HOPE. SøułSurvivør (C) 9/27/2017

Is it my counter-counterclockwise mind wasting time? Elbows on the dining table pulling my angel hair into grid-like times tables. I’m invested in this non-conversation table. Ich liebe dich, mein Freund. I’ve got commitment issues and four-ply tissues for when my eye lashes start peeling apart. My grandpa died in 2005 and I’m all but over it. I’m holding his kite string, but the reel is almost done, like VHS tapes rewound then fast-forwarded to the good times. Power Ranger birthday and everyone’s wearing dunce caps with elastic chin straps ‘til they snap. Snap! Snap! Snap me back to three-years-old, and I’m singing in a Robin costume ‘cause I knew I’d always be second best. I had an identity crisis around fourteen, so I stopped buying sunglasses because I found myself in other peoples’ shadows. But now the only shadows they’re casting are the ones from their headstones and from the fields of flowers cradling them like they once cradled me. Fast-forward, I’m genuflecting in gym shorts before myself in a mirror smudged with plum felt. And I seem small compared to my life spelled out in Expo marker markings.

My Life Spelled Out
One must suffer for beauty But not in this self-destructive fashion Maybe after we put ourselves out there They'll worship at the pedestal Some skewed mindset of what glamour highlights Re-invent yourself Not innovate another's identity We're just templates left to be traced by another Who wants to be the photocopied poster child? She just wants out You can't blame her for exploiting herself This was after the sext messages Sent to his phone forwarded to all his friends sent to all their friends inevitably the internet Girl's got a sickness about her She wants to go viral Starving for attention Starving herself for perfection Caught somewhere between ascension of ego and descension of the soul She's lost like a lighter in a smoke circle Won't somebody spark the way?

Girl's Got A Sickness About Her
I will let you inside Rent space in my head and I'll take heed and make an attempt To conquer whatever it is about me that you spend so much time devaluing And when you're in there, would you kindly mind shutting off whatever longings and needs I may have Just flip that switch and tie a rope to it that extends to a nail in the ground And cancel whatever subscription I have to the "Pity Party" hotline Make sure it is forwarded to you For you deserve all the pity and sympathy for having to endure me Go ahead and stab out whatever cortex may be responsible for my behavior towards you **** it and bury it and don't be manipulated by it like you were in the past Stuff me full of you-loving and you-respecting ingredients Fashion me into the sort of a person you could love

Channeling Every emotion To a setting Where they Do not Will not Can not Be forwarded For people to see Subconsciously Assuming that The whole World Knows when I'm Mad Devastated Furious For some ****** Up reason That is unknown To me But if a detailed Word Isn't spilt About the matter Then nobody Honestly Knows such Feelings Are being felt Thinking people Can look hard enough Care deep enough See through me Expecting too much But expectation Should be higher Not from those Of others But of myself Dealing with emotional Confrontation Is something I cannot handle Everything in me Will push it away Hide it away Never speak a Word About it But why? Acting like a Five year old Instead of being Forward Upfront And To the point Why is it so hard To speak a mind's Emotional struggles Finding words Or explanations Is an impossible Task for my tongue To master I'm stubborn I'm miserable I'm attention hungry I'm self conscious I know I'm all these things But Is There A way To change Those Parts Of Me When It's Who I Am?

Death Is A Depth... Life Is A Miseries.!!! Isn't it strange how $500 seems like such a large amount when we give it as offering, but such a small amount when you go shopping? Isn't it strange how 2hrs seem so long when you're at place of Worship, and how short they seem when we're watching a good movie? Isn't it strange that we can't find a Word to say when we're to make supplication to God, but we have no trouble thinking of what to gist about with a friend.? Isn't it strange how Difficult and Boring it is to read one chapter of the Scriptures, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or magazine? Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts, film house or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in the Holy gathering? Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in Paradise, but they don't want to Believe, Do, or Say anything to get there? Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails, BBM,Whatsapp, Facebook, Google, Globalshare, Youtube, Twitter, Linked-In,BC and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to share messages about GOD, we think about it twice before we share it with others? IT'S STRANGE, ISN'T IT? Now that you've read this message, forward it to anybody that we both consider a Friend. Let us build up Our Spiritual Life because its very Necessary.. I strongly believe, that GOD will Strengthen Ours more than a Soul. What breaks my heart most, is that many Mode And Made in the Church Of Thy body will not make it if Jesus comes now? Many are unaware that the End is Near.! If any Area of Our Life is not in sync with GOD's Word Repent and be converted. If we miss Heaven we can never miss Hell...Think about it. Hell is not a pretty place that I want I and I to go to, the worst part is that it is for Eternity...Please rather than post and forward Wordless messages. Send to everyone that thy Love. Do the work of an Evangelist. PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH ALL YOUR CONTACTS. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if we treat the Holy Bible the way we treat our mobile phone?☎

I do not claim to represent. I humbly present my claim. _______________________(Begin Forwarded Message) _______________________ 3 April 2014 Classification: UNCLASSIFIED From: [email protected] To: [email protected] RE: present To whom it may concern: I have been subscribed To your service Involuntarily. Two springs ago there was an anniversary. An old friend tempted me Under the guise of celebration. That is not to say There weren’t suspicious omens about; Oh, what I would give To have heeded them! I’m afraid you provide A service which far surpasses my needs (Such that it is the only thing I want). Your free trial led me to believe Led me To the promised land Only to enslave me there. The fertile grasslands, The forests, and the island shores Mock me in my imagination. Your service has been deemed surplus.

The Present
you do not know art, like i know Art. though you paraded your passings in public it was i who, Art, trusted with his secrets it was my window, that Art, tapped when the arguing began yes, you may have enjoyed a dinner or engaged in conversation with him but he never trusted you with paintings of the english language or pictures worth a thousand songs you didnt get 6 stitches, with Art, when you tried to climb the tallest tree to reach out and touch heaven but still fear the fall you didnt find Art trembling in a bathroom from what he saw that day. You didnt find Art in broad daylight dancing to some invisible meter, some transparent beat you didnt see the patterns left in the steps of his feet and while you may have gone to the cinema with Art it was i he forwarded the scripts to reenact a lifetime of moments because we, Art and i, wanted a silver lining something vague, something inspiring to keep this momentum going and while you claim to know this being, Art you have not participated in a drunken brawl with Art, involving a few rotten Connecticut men and things not in our control you haven't discussed eternity and death with Art, or any of his close friends and though, i'm sure you may have wish you did you do not know art, like i do.

you do not know art, like i know Art
I am an ocean Powerful in waves I crash into anything that stands in my way I have no heart And I have no soul I have already sank an entire graveyard Of ships that were once great feats Don't worry, For you have no fear You're just the captain On a ship I held dear You will sink beneath my waves For that's what I do I am a possessive being And I'm not ready to give up you You will die Here in my reefs And allow my fish To home in your grief And that's were you'll be Another lost century That's what's happens when people look to close to me They lean a little to forwarded And crash into me And my waves has no mercies For those sailing to get through me

The children of this town speak of vacation and travel. Worrying about the summer before it's even Spring. I tell them, "why, why, why are you LEAVING here before you've fulfilled your night- time fantasy?" They board a train or ship uncoothed and begging for more time. I tell them "the ones you want are here already, in your being. They are present and ready to be called out of the closets and crawlspaces of your dwellings, looking for the belongings you forwarded them in the shape of skin and grain and blood." I tell them "Alone you leave this city and your self returns with you, empty, even emptier than at birth. This city is your womb, you can't escape the placental waters of your home, the umbilical rail, the breathing air." But when it is summer, they go. To be gone, to starve the children in the closets clawing at the fastened latch and watching time escape their follicles. While they are sitting in darkness, we tell them we left to get away, to catch a sky that crashes into distant lands or hold up stars with out bare hands. We say "bless this city and the state of our birth." We stand, alive, unconquered and surprised that closet children are dead when we get back it's just us in this city                                       With all stars surrounding                                       Unseen with the same lights                                       We saw out there which blot them out                                       The sky has fallen and our hands are cleaned                                       By the starving blood of closet children                                       Whom we refused to feed                                       Dried up under the moon.

Fast Forward
a) I …like you. b) Letters and postcards are amongst strawberry lemonade cupcakes and kisses on foreheads. You know why? Simply because to read those letters or postcards and to know that their hand once brushed the page, its warmth kissed each word. With truth leeching it into the coldness. But nevertheless, it was warm. To know that each stroke, each cross out was directly from their mind and from them. And most importantly, their heart. That each full-stop, each comma, each word and alphabet is all yours. No one else’s. It can't be forwarded like a blank, generic email. The letter itself was once something of theirs and then now its yours forever to keep. A little piece of their time and most importantly, them.”

The Little Truths
This psychosis is flaring up again, most notably with the upper hand Time after time and once again I find no rhyme or reason That thought process, seemingly by design, is unfathomably barren Scared of the transformation I know has already left the station That's it there, right over yonder, comin' 'round the bend Resistance is futile, it's a lesson in repetition to keep runnin' with no traction No huntin' license needed for this "only fools rush in" expedition The lethal weapon method preferred over the non-lethal stun gun option As I set up and execute my own personal character assassination And blame it on what's always been a continuous open season on who I am as a person Stating it was the residents in my cranium livin' rent free from conception Leaving out the moment I stepped in and fast forwarded this Scooby Doo-Benny Hill situation to the end You can still see the evidence of the all out mutiny and treason from within Venomous hospitality, venomous quips, blue lips the reaction to the poison The exact one found on the jagged edge of the rusty iron driven into broken skin Just an oh to familiar back stabbing incident, another rerun A web can be spun but I'm the only common thread... ©2024

Life The Real Live Game
I was duped last night By the Transgenders beggers Most of the time I ignore them As if I never saw them But last night I was a little scared As I knew I had money in my wallet For no reason I stopped And they forwarded towards me Asking me for money I somehow thought that poor people They have no place in the society So they beg Not fair that people neglect them So took out little money and gave them To my shock, they wanted to see how much more money I had They kept saying they would just keep a coin Took out the whole bunch of money And I kept saying No, Don't take Don't take. I have no more money But 3 of them in agressive voices Kept telling me They will keep the money back Swearing in the name of God I was not leaving the money Until I saw them being more agressive towards me I left the money And they took and kept again Obviously I knew half the money won't be there But I was scared As everyone was just a mere audience I had to save myself Money I can get back But thought if they attack me That might be more tragic. They folded the Money and kept back and questioning me in more agressive voices- Why don't you trust us? Why don't you trust us? They left after that And I left the opposite side Checking my wallet They took more than half the money And left little money for me. A lesson learnt, during hard times Nobody comes to rescue Rather I have to be extra careful. I was scared the whole night I know people would laugh at me Saying why did I stop there Or take out my wallet in the first place. I didn't plan for all these Just thought may be being helpful might be good. Duped as I was.

misplaced letters; misplaces trust the world dines on their wanton lust wandering footsteps, weakened by bottle glass. I hurry up , so I won't be last. Screaming no glory Dreaming outscoring forwarded footsteps and unopened mail, left out in the barrenness, the terse winter Gael. what should I do ? what can't I see ? left all alone burdened by me.

Dismay
Bound to adjust in a clusterfuck of lust as i grow older my brain bends backwards sending the past and what i knew forward farther than i remember sense memories are limited to their makers remarks. I am left with a mantra of many, to be forwarded and returned upon what ive learned. and if you ask me ill stay in my pose asking that my posse surround and inclose what is left of my lust is for you to dream and impose upon what i allow you to take and propose. because i know you enough to know what you want and what you want is simple enough. The power The fame The money The blame I leave you with lust and memories to shame.
