"functionally" poems
Before there was anything that mattered everything that would ever be existed , it was the essence of totality , it was without dimensional constriction or necessitated form .  Optimistically speaking time had no relative realism to it’s progression because realistically nothing had happened yet .  As it continued it became according to it’s innate inflections as a functionally integrable form .  The questionably understandable nature of it’s conjunction was an omnipotent directive beyond necessitated action or morphological construction .  The enigmatic consciousness of it’s relatively interrelated conception was spontaneous and yet it continued without elemental omniscience.   As the relative complexity of it’s interrelations evolved dimensional consistence was born.  Humanly understandable laws of physical integration governed many facets of it’s conjunction yet the totality of it’s ramification was beyond humanly realistic conjecture .   The organic morphology of biological ontogeny was a conceptually reflective derivative of functional physical mechanics yet it’s diversity exceeded it’s physical complexity , understanding evolved .  Relatively extraneous interpolations of adhesively practical extremity succeeded in a hierarchy of functionally integrable forms . Retrospectively speaking pragmatic practicality is a humanly rational possibility .  Rational logic can conceive of individually totalitarian structural forms , yet the implosive nature of their rational cohesiveness becomes a practical partiality due to the diversity of their definitive impetus . Perhaps the essence of our being is the logical counterpart for the matrix of our subjectively conclusive social fragmentation , or perhaps we are evolutionally incapable of cumulatively rational correlation.  Problematic diversity could be perfectible on an individually infinite level or contrarily perhaps ubiquitous causality is the ultimate survivor.   In any case it is beyond our subjugatively rational cohesive coercion to intercede en masse on our own behalf as an integrated unit. Our conceptual abilities have been thwarted by the unmitigatably individual nature of our extraneous conclusiveness .

Once it was garbage, refuse, trash. A jumble of foul-smelling detritus hauled to the curb And removed by sinewy men Contributing a harder day's work Than anyone else in the city. Our energy now removes its entropy. Sorted and classified into coloured bins, We add order to our rejected matter. Specialized trucks arrive to collect The date-synchronized bins Emptying them into functionally compatible mechanisms. Most desolate is the black box of paper and cardboard. Brochures and flyers, old magazines and letters. Annual reports and cereal boxes. Once these were enameled with crafted sentences, Painstakingly typed, edited and debated, On the monitors of copywriters. Now they are just millions of words printed on flattened fibre substrates, Jumbled into the bruised and scarred black box, Entering into the recycling stream. The nouns and adjectives, Prepositions and gerunds, All jumble together. Fragments of precisely-crafted sentences and paragraphs Are gradually broken, shredded and pulped. Incomplete thoughts, broken phrases Like those of a rejected stranger In an lonely, unknown country. Then words without context. Then just disparate letters Are all that remain. Their  M  ea  N inG G  r a Du all y is re mov e d .

Enigma entity’s ethology entelechy as it relates to clairaudience clairvoyance. Everyone has a personal futurity fatidic or existential metaphysique. What we need is a universally acceptable form of id conclusion. Unfortunately we can’t even agree on the social stigmatisms of ego’s expression. We are relatively extraneous interpolations of adhesively practical extremity that succeed in a hierarchy of functionally integrateable forms. There is no functional deontology, even though its visage would seem to portend cogently fecund probity for all. We are not ethereally sublime, we are corporeally preternatural. Objective is individual; obligation to each other is not a mandate. Though many might find it inherently indispensible to some it impedes success. The depths of debauchery this debacle ensues are almost intrinsically endemic to our race. How am I going to get there becomes more important than ‘what are we fighting for’. So, if there’s no unity of purpose how do we decide who we are fighting for. Will it be good for all or lead to oligarchy and subjugation, the seemingly inescapable byproduct of capitalism, the inherent decadence of socialism. It’s times like this that make me love the constitutional fortitude of Americanism. Theoretically I have an inalienable right, hypothetically this leads to anarchy so I’m not allowed to mess with your rights. This is mandate. The republic for which we stand. Mendacious tales of unity, not merely the obstinate tenacities of I, but also the cogent fecundity in the infamous we-ness of us.

a treatise on compatibility this is theoretically presented by a linguist with limited trigonometry sense    and since the heart beats and is 360 degrees I sought out a tangent to measure her with     or sine to figure out logically whether we were compatible              like functionally on a straight line or tangentially     perpendicularly in degree and cosines or measurement mathematically similar then found no co-efficient to portray her smile fell out of my array with nothing else to equal her.

Whenever I think of dysfunction I think of all of us together. What causes us to function is each other. We never function when we're all together. If you looked at a picture of us you'd see fragmented faces and aching stitches holding up the frames of our smiles. If you looked in my brother's eyes you'd see the red around the edges that tells you how much he hates it. He thinks he'd break the function if he let the blood spill down his face. He can't close his eyes, he won't blink, he won't make a mistake, he's so tired, he has to fix it, he doesn't know. He's still bleeding. If you looked into the creases of my mother's smile you'd see that she is tired. Her smile doesn't know how to smile all the way anymore because the creases have to hold up everyone else's. They're growing weary and fading into a slant. You'd see that she's tired of holding us all together. If you looked at the pieces of hair that fell across my father's face you'd see a few gray hairs. You'd see that nature took a few too many spins on his life and that things aren't going right anymore. His shadow is following him from underneath the ground. If you looked at me you might say, "she looks fine." I am fine. I'm perfectly functionally fine in the most dysfunctional meaning of the word. I'm smiling, see? Lies. Lies make you appreciate the truth, but who wants a picture of a family in misery? If we were never so broken we would never be this whole. We never function when we're all together but we function because of each other. We dysfunction together.

Eventually all water drains to the sea, and so to the body's waters drain to its urinary bladder. But the bladder, unlike the sea, must be drained every few hours, call it a normative ****** rhythm, taken for granted, as it should be, by the functionally normal, but the spine paralyzed must be catherized four, five six times a day. **** breaks through an inserted tube, to which I can personally report, the ***** prefers piercing then being pierced.

I’m a functionally depressed person. I’ve self-diagnosed myself as this Because severe depression makes Me feel like I should be lying Around my house all day and Although I’d rather wrap myself In the blankets of my bed, I push myself out into the day. Dressed in an outfit that’s not Sweatpants and a t-shirt, but Instead, jeans and a sweater. Long sleeves to cover the cuts On my arm, or many bracelets With no colors that match my Outfit but they cover my Self-inflicted wounds from The night before. I fake a smile at people That I pass by during the day And I hope that they can’t See through my eyes and into My head. I hope they can’t read The suicidal thoughts swimming Around, filling the lack of serotonin That I’m missing from my brain. Their eyes feel like lasers shooting Into my brain like bullets that I dream Of releasing from the chamber To settle in my head. I’m a functionally depressed person Because I function in society Without anyone knowing that Inside, I’m already dead.

Beatlebomb never lost, but Bourbon bread an early retirement Once Jim Beam pushed Papa…plow! Ol’ Beatlebomb brusied and feeble fell short. Like the liquor, Papa puddled the floor. quit boozing!

Experience was something I did not have. At twenty two I wanted to write imitating F. Scott Fitzgerald publishing; perhaps fame. Ah, writing would reign a rewarding adventure. And, write I did causing in readers no astounding appreciation regardless of literary vehicle. Despite failure I did not stop writing Although functionally creating policy and procedures elucidating military or higher education prescriptions for guidance and direction it satisfied some aching spot fulfilling an internal need for writing creatively. Now I know need must precede desire desire must be infused with passion passion perseverance and publishing leads to experience. Experience is the prescription for writing well. lawrence j. klumas © july 2014

I used to put the feelings in jars, wrapping them with corresponding ribbons depending on the day and lining them oh so neatly onto the shelves that line my cortex and home. Never to say I wasn’t organized in one way, while others cracked and flew apart in every which direction hubris was a cheerful hand to hold as I glided in and swept up the mess, loaning out jars and advice like cookies. The back of the head always tells the truth, I had always known that the shelves were uneven and cheap, the jars themselves feeble in constitution just like their buyer and the ribbons were only for display and the whole system functionally flawed. She is gone; when the earth became somehow heavier in the loss, the shelves cracked and crumbled, the shelves loosened and lay askew, the shelves were never mine to assume. The jars came down in a fury, the force sending shards in every direction and into every part of my brain, shrieking from the direct hit yet continuing to plead ignorance to the whole **** system. She is gone; feelings used to make sense but now nothing does, nothing is how is feels nothing is what I wanted to happen and something is Here, Something was always waiting, Something has toppled my jars and shelves and left me alone on this earth to clean it all up while She has joined the Universe and now can only be reached in pictures we took on better days and the dreams that keep me awake. Something has come, Something may have gone, but Something has also changed me. Without the jars I feel more free, without the jars I am open maybe it was the jars all along that have always made me feel broken.

When you’re asleep I sit in the light, studying your movements When you’re asleep a sit in the dark, syncing my breathing with yours When you’re asleep I lie next to you, drinking your mumbles, the sounds your stomach make, the smacking of your lips When you’re asleep I lie awake There is something so very special about the perk in the curl of your eyelashes the lifts and dimples of your cheeks and the way your lips part like blossoming flowers in the spring flush with pale pink color that I draw my lips closer to touch My worries dissolve like the flutter of your eyes as you leave our world together and travel off to your own maybe I can visit you there, but it doesn’t truly matter I’ve elected to stay behind with the other half of you. And it stays so very charming, when its fingers—your fingers wrap themselves around mine when my hands reach for yours. Why is there something so securing, so beautiful, and so safe about being in a tide alongside someone who’s unconscious? you’re hardly any good here, asleep, unaware of burdens round us you can’t even fight the spider now crawling down the windowframe you’ll never even know he was there, had I not been here with you I’ll take care of it, darling, and you’ll never have to know When you’re out and I’m still here I can rise, protect both of us. Come on little spider, oh please do not be afraid of me and this fateful kleenex tissue Home fort is safe again. My focus is back onto you. And your lips. And your nose. Is it even possible to admire someone this much? A hair is poking out of it. Maybe two even. And yet you’re perfect. Every trait of yours a detail on an exquisite piece of art. And god no it’s not your looks. It’s your heart, really: the one part of you that travels to both worlds. By day it stays mine, loving me back as I try to hide my own translating my affections into non-misheard obsessions keeping me safe. And painting my world beautiful. But at night it follows you, off to lands of magic and adventure Painting your world full of color and light, even as you lie in the dark Such a functionally simple ***** And yet somehow I’m alive in it. This ending wasn’t meant to make sense.

When you’re asleep I sit in the light, studying your movements When you’re asleep a sit in the dark, syncing my breathing with yours When you’re asleep I lie next to you, drinking your mumbles, the sounds your stomach make, the smacking of your lips When you’re asleep I lie awake There is something so very special about the perk in the curl of your eyelashes the lifts and dimples of your cheeks and the way your lips part like blossoming flowers in the spring flush with pale pink color that I draw my lips closer to touch My worries dissolve like the flutter of your eyes as you leave our world together and travel off to your own maybe I can visit you there, but it doesn’t truly matter I’ve elected to stay behind with the other half of you. And it stays so very charming, when its fingers—your fingers wrap themselves around mine when my hands reach for yours. Why is there something so securing, so beautiful, and so safe about being in a tide alongside someone who’s unconscious? you’re hardly any good here, asleep, unaware of burdens round us you can’t even fight the spider now crawling down the windowframe you’ll never even know he was there, had I not been here with you I’ll take care of it, darling, and you’ll never have to know When you’re out and I’m still here I can rise, protect both of us. Come on little spider, oh please do not be afraid of me and this fateful kleenex tissue Home fort is safe again. My focus is back onto you. And your lips. And your nose. Is it even possible to admire someone this much? A hair is poking out of it. Maybe two even. And yet you’re perfect. Every trait of yours a detail on an exquisite piece of art. And god no it’s not your looks. It’s your heart, really: the one part of you that travels to both worlds. By day it stays mine, loving me back as I try to hide my own translating my affections into non-misheard obsessions keeping me safe. And painting my world beautiful. But at night it follows you, off to lands of magic and adventure Painting your world full of color and light, even as you lie in the dark Such a functionally simple ***** And yet somehow I’m alive in it. This ending wasn’t meant to make sense.

A city asleep is ruthlessly efficient Dreams are distributed Hopes exhibited Snapshots in time briefly revisited New lovers, children The functionally insane Serenely succumb to the sandman To visions that satisfy attention spans To nightmares that vanish with morning Raisin Bran But poets and drunkards resist this plan They walk through empty streets Feeling incomplete Taking their women ***** and their whiskey neat Finally they too surrender to sleep Tossed by worries into withering wind Of dragons and fax machines Of reality dimmed Sunrise distorts them and they vanish as they begin Just like tomorrow And tomorrow again

Sleep in a City
Before there was anything that mattered everything that would ever be existed , it was the essence of totality , it was without dimensional constriction or necessitated form .  Optimistically speaking time had no relative realism to its progression because realistically nothing had happened yet .  As it continued it became according to its innate inflections as a functionally integrable form .  The questionably understandable nature of its conjunction was an omnipotent directive beyond necessitated action or morphological construction .  The enigmatic consciousness of its relatively interrelated conception was spontaneous and yet it continued without elemental omniscience . As the relative complexity of its interrelations evolved dimensional consistence was born.  Humanly understandable laws of physical integration governed many facets of its conjunction yet the totality of its ramification was beyond humanly realistic conjecture .   The organic morphology of biological ontogeny was a conceptually reflective derivative of functional physical mechanics yet its diversity exceeded its physical complexity , understanding evolved .  Relatively extraneous interpolations of adhesively practical extremity succeeded in a hierarchy of functionally integrable forms . Retrospectively speaking pragmatic practicality is a humanly rational possibility .  Rational logic can conceive of individually totalitarian structural forms , yet the implosive nature of their rational cohesiveness becomes a practical partiality due to the diversity of their definitive impetus . Perhaps the essence of our being is the logical counterpart for the matrix of our subjectively conclusive social fragmentation , or perhaps we are evolutionally incapable of cumulatively rational correlation.  Problematic diversity could be perfectible on an individually infinite level or contrarily perhaps ubiquitous causality is the ultimate survivor .   In any case it is beyond our subjugatively rational cohesive coercion to intercede en masse on our own behalf as an integrated unit. Our conceptual abilities have been thwarted by the unmitigatably individual nature of our extraneous conclusiveness .

I feel so broken- not in the I'm-falling-apart type of way but more so like I-can't-functionally-normally. Some people try to fix me whether it's tightening a ***** that's lose in my head or making me stand up straighter and breathe a little deeper, I always end up in the corner alone because no one wants something that's broken. Something that probably could be fixed if someone tried hard enough but no one is willing to try hard enough. I can't fix myself, because every time I ask someone to reach out a hand to help me or maybe just support me so I don't fall apart they look at my brokenness and realize- they just don't have the time anymore. I'm starting to think I am beyond repair because all I seem to do is fall apart nowadays. Everyone around me is watching but they just pretend they don't see. No one wants to be the blame for my downfall and I guess they aren't. I guess it was just the way I was originally constructed that made me turn out this way so unable to receive help so incapable of fixing. It was just a matter of time before I broke down and I finally did. Alone with only these four walls to comfort me and a shadow that reminds me I'm still here- still looking as broken as I was when it first started. There's only a few who come around and repair what is left of me- and then all the others just seem to have left me. They only want me when I appear fixed, when I am at their beck and call and they can get good use out of me. I guess I'll never be kept around because I'll never actually be fully functional. Look at all my pieces lying before you- build me like Ikea furniture prop me up, wear me down then throw me away like the rest of them. I'll be fine here on my own. My shadow likes to keep me company.

Close your eyes for me Son Please, so You won’t see Me The Other Man I become Selfish is He; Uncontrollable All that He wants in life Is nothing I want for you Son. He seeks no memories, Nothing as important, As numbing what haunts a Man. The Other Me I Become Heavens I can see, Blue skies above. And I believe, Demons reside beneath, Deep below my feet. Where do you want Me? As a man I have to halves, Good and Bad, Is the middle where you want me? Unable to make two halfs meld How can a Man make two halves of himself come whole? Neither a saint nor lost soul it seems, I am between neither, yet something incomplete, both shades of who I am Who I just might be The Me that got away The Innocent, Genuine, Foolish and Misguided, Functionally Addicted One Half says: I Am. Then the Other Man I Become: Could Have Been. I hate that man, Other Man, I am; Or will become. The Half of me that is Reason; He Believes, I am Decent.

The Other Me I Become
My mind is a mess Racing, pounding and tearing at its self Tell me I’m not insane If my memory serves I’ll forget in time Coming to the same conclusion Yes, functionally insane But insane none the less Forcing myself through the same broken cycle On auto pilot Expecting different results Because I have to believe Things can’t turn out the same It just isn’t sane to think so Is it? Am I a weak soul driven by a strong will? Or a weak will possessed by a strong soul? What forces me on myself in this way?

Creeping Suspicion
Enigma entity’s ethology entelechy as it relates to clairaudience clairvoyance. Everyone has a personal futurity fatidic or existential metaphysique. What we need is a universally acceptable form of id conclusion. Unfortunately we can’t even agree on the social stigmatisms of ego’s expression. We are relatively extraneous interpolations of adhesively practical extremity that succeed in a hierarchy of functionally integrateable forms. There is no functional deontology, even though its visage would seem to portend cogently fecund probity for all. We are not ethereally sublime, we are corporeally preternatural. Objective is individual; obligation to each other is not a mandate. Though many might find it inherently indispensible to some it impedes success. The depths of debauchery this debacle ensues are almost intrinsically endemic to our race. How am I going to get there becomes more important than ‘what are we fighting for’. So, if there’s no unity of purpose how do we decide who we are fighting for. Will it be good for all or lead to oligarchy and subjugation, the seemingly inescapable byproduct of capitalism, the inherent decadence of socialism. It’s times like this that make me love the constitutional fortitude of Americanism. Theoretically I have an inalienable right, hypothetically this leads to anarchy so I’m not allowed to mess with your rights. This is mandate. The republic for which we stand. Mendacious tales of unity, not merely the obstinate tenacities of I, but also the cogent fecundity in the infamous we-ness of us.
