Oh, they think they know. While second guessing at best. Pure speculation about us. About our friends with benefits. Without understanding just how deep it is. We see the smiles. We hear the giggles. And notice the winking of the eyes. And they still don't realize just what our friendship truly is. While they try to materialize to themselves our friends with benefits relationship. While they think it's ****** Maybe even physical. None gives it a guess that it's mostly emotional. When we need a laugh. When we need a listening ear. That's when our friends with benefits appears. When we need advice. Whether it's good or bad. That's when our friends with benefits kicks in. We let them speculate. We let them make their stupid mistakes. Even when we could straighten out their wrongs. All because our friends with benefits is so much more. Then physical or ******

Friends With Benefits
when the clock ticks at 12, another minute has passed and another day has been renewed. it replenishes an entire moment that separates yesterday from today. when the clock ticks at 12, a part of me has left something for good. something that could only be retrieved by the nostalgia of the passing hours that gives a pang of discomfort and dismay. when the clock ticks at 12, a fairy godmother is there waiting for me to move past everything and start fresh, like nothing has ever happened from yesterday but when the clock ticks at 3, my emotions are scattered, eating me alive. it kicks me out of the zone - exposing me to a world of nothing but things to hide. it haunts my core, dwells with my demons, building up emotions that don't seem to collide and at 3, I find you - once again with all the sublime images we’ve captured and grand words we’ve uttered. i find you, drowning from the roots of my memoirs... and there I see how midnights took parts of me because at 3, I’ll always remember how I grew with thee a.t.

when the clock ticks
Depression. One word. Pretty easy to say. But what you don’t know Is that it controls my day. The sun rises as I go to get out of bed yet depression whispers “You’d be better off dead.” But I push through those words and I make it to class when it comes to concentration, depression kicks me in the *** So I go to eat lunch, but nothing looks appetizing depression smiles at me and asks if that’s surprising Another class, let’s see how this one goes Will I pass this test? Only depression really knows Cause last night when I went home and tried to study depression was surely there, my only buddy And although I tried to do my absolute best depression said, “I think we’ll fail this test.” My teachers look at me in absolute disgust I try to tell the truth, but depression doesn’t let me trust So instead I say I’m sick, a cold or maybe the flu But I’m sick inside my head, and depression proves that true You can’t expect them to understand the pain and the sorrow This depression is unique to me, you’d only know if my mind you could borrow But back to my daily routine, I didn’t mean to digress sometimes my thoughts start racing, depression never lets me rest Which leads me to sleep, for some the best part of the night Dear depression, will you let me sleep? Maybe, I just might Then I look at the clock and it’s almost four in the morning Depression, why are you doing this? In my mind it’s nearly storming For most are in their beds, cuddled up all snug and tight But depression sowed up early this morning, so I have to be ready to fight Some have called me strong, but that is not how I feel for depression clouds my head, and I’m not sure what’s real And there it is again, the sun has stared to rise I’ve made it through another day, to depression, that’s a surprise.

Have you ever felt so sick That there's a churning in your stomach That you just can't shake Have you ever felt so broken That you just can't sleep Lost in confusion to how life brought you here Have you ever felt so low That you didn't think there was anywhere else to go Have you ever been so angry You can't control your rage Ripping every photo in you picture frames (Yeah) have you ever wondered why it is your heart breaks Are you good at getting stuck in situations Feel as though you have lost all communication And you can't seem to navigate your way out of this dark place You landed yourself in Shouldn't have given everything so soon And maybe then you wouldn't have lost you Signals beyond detection Lost in my own space No stars or light to guide your way You just met the monster under your bed Gave into the voices inside of your head This is the moment everybody dreads So is this my hell This is where I've been sent This is the fall This is the steep descent Told you I bleed for my heart Can't you tell from the scars Engraved into my skin Maybe I'm addicted to the pain Maybe it doesn't feel right when life kicks me back in the face Maybe I just can't go a day without making a mistake Maybe I'm a lost cause Maybe I have no faith Maybe I've fallen from grace Maybe I'm a disgrace Maybe there is no hope for the hopeless But I still give hope to those That hang off of every word that I write And it's lines and times like this that keep me alive (Yeah) Are you good at getting stuck in situations Feel as though you have lost all communication And you can't seem to navigate your way out of this dark place You landed yourself in Shouldn't have given everything so soon And maybe then you wouldn't have lost you Signals beyond detection Lost in my own space No stars or light to guide your way You just met the monster under your bed Gave into the voices inside of your head This is the moment everybody dreads So is this my hell This is where I've been sent This is the fall This is the steep descent Maybe I'm drowning in sorrows Maybe you have some love I could borrow Maybe you could get me back on my feet Should never have worn this heart on my sleeve Maybe I shared too much Maybe my kindness got the best of me Maybe I gave to much trust Maybe I just lost the one Maybe the battle was lost Before it was ever won (Yeah) Are you good at getting stuck in situations Feel as though you have lost all communication And you can't seem to navigate your way out of this dark place You landed yourself in Shouldn't have given everything so soon And maybe then you wouldn't have lost you Signals beyond detection Lost in my own space No stars or light to guide your way You just met the monster under your bed Gave into the voices inside of your head This is the moment everybody dreads So is this my hell This is where I've been sent This is the fall This is the steep descent ©2017 Written By Benji James

I. Neptune’s Theater A rock spins through the universal tumbler and its warm blue pools calcify as turquoise Neptune in his cloudy blue bath bath builds a lace castle with his fingertips Sculpts a submerged eden of crimson and emerald where painted parrots chat up cardinals butterfly and angel fry sway with wave pulse and foliated coral fingers beckon from arched windows. Neptune’s children are flat and bright, spined and notched free yet entangled in lace mesh ecosystem beneath an array of bioluminescent stars as a gangly pretender watches and blows bubbles. II. Sapien Siege The hot acidic hand of death grasps the mesh rends and tangles the ecosystem shattered reef’s loosed children scream beneath planet’s stars. Butterflies impaled cyanide-swooning damsels mesh-tangled angels hauled heavenward coral to potash, corpses to coal. The pretender to the throne blinks rubs blurry lenses, kicks plastic fins and moves on to the next show Unseeing and unaware of the luminous filament in his wake. Self-appointed divinity, deus ex machina. ******************************************************************************************* Ann says: All of the animal and human characters in this poem (except Neptune and The Pretender) are named after coral reef fish. Coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems, are expected to be largely extinct within one human generation. Deus ex machina is Latin for “God from the machine.” Copyright 2013 by Ann Marcaida.

Children of the Reef
The drug The high The confusion The craving The withdrawal The brain feels overwhelmed The noise creates chaos in my mind The silence I seek The alone time I need The anxiety kicks in Struggling to breathe... Overthinking creates an addiction, to the things that cause mind suppression. My mind is noisy, with thoughts of occurrences that have happened, and some not. I try not to depress myself, but mistakenly think too far in the future, then get disappointed because expectations have not been reached. Busy, distracted, chaotic, and unfocused. I reach no end to where my mind goes... A path of little thoughts that creates an explosion and downfall. I crave the drugs to give my mind a rest. To give it a sense of peacefulness... I have failed lifes tests. Tense, tight, my mind implodes. Burn my thoughts and bury them in ashed coal. Cannot sleep Cannot close my eyes Always in a state of overthinking... Like my brain is constantly blinking

the sounds are there, they come through walls right around the corner they're not visual, they're miserable and in need they're equal opportunity exhibitionists lovers of a family get together, taking everything in parasitic and aware, destitute and stuck but they're also there at the wrong time the wrong time for the person who's alone the wrong time for a person who's disconnected because they want to be enjoying peace and quiet alone by themselves in an old house with summer outside making its noises, crickets trees rustling under a jeweled sky, the pinnacle of up high breathing in the home air of cannibus, lotion and food being disturbed is far from a thought, but unavoidable simultaneously because the house has a strange history the basement floods, and the machinery kicks in the mind ponders as the constellations wander the nights grow and shrink, the body is dry, bone dry the shower is turned on, soap, shampoo lost in the mind on autopilot until the spine stiffens its without a doubt that I'm not alone now a minute ago i was the master of this house a minute ago I was naked in the hallway, smoking a cigar now I've been usurped and I just want to barricade myself in this house that I've live in for 15 years, now i beg for permission to stay just one more night I beg because how could I possibly fight It's my conscious or the pontius pilate I hope it's the former, because if not, blowout the pilot light There's little hope for re-ignition or stellar recognition

I could have gone to the cemetery, or back to my high school lab, find him lecturing from a podium, bony finger raised, demagogue of the dead. I could break him down piece by piece, cram him in a duffle, a femur jutting the zipper. Ignore the groan- Skeletons are by nature never satisfied. Instead I found myself in the carnival lot, The dog was long dead, the sign kept guard. Rusty rides slouched like tumbleweeds. Cotton candy in memory- blue tack crunching my teeth. Lewd. Skeletons fixed on poles, spiked up through pelvis and spine. Use **** Grip shoulders. twist. lift. When one slid free, he collapsed into my arms all bone-light, lovely, mine at last. I just brought him home. Sat at the kitchen table. Named him Curly. Zoom howled: WAG’s gone weird! What’s his name? What’s his name? His name is Curly, I said, but I knew his name was You. We drink wine by the pool. He never sips. Sometimes I pour a second glass for the glint. Sometimes he tells me Danny Elfman wants to play his ribs like a xylophone. Sometimes he sighs, he hates Oingo Boingo. I laugh. Obliging. So do I. When the wind kicks up he smells of sugar and rust. Sometimes he rattles the glassware. Sometimes he won’t sit still. Skeletons are by nature never satisfied.

She fell in love with an astronaut, their distance lightyears away. She believes that he fell in love with her, too. “For the galaxies are beside me, and a vast of possibilities laying outside the metal surrounding me, i kept falling back into your pull of gravity.” And she still does, when she grows old every day, waiting he stays the same, feels the same, thinks the same. But she fell in love with an astronaut, their distance lightyears away. Everything under her feet moves faster, And in space - time slows down, Relativity kicks in. And every day she wishes, that the Earth would stop revolving the years stop counting, and she would stay the same, feel the same, think the same. She hoped, she dreamed, she failed. She fell in love with an astronaut. Her nights linger on tinkering on stars and planets, and space. She wanted to wait, she grows old, he slows it down, she couldn’t. He is lightyears away, and time is running out. She was in love with an astronaut, and he was meant to be there, not with her, not ever.

Skeleton bones in the closet, no, not I, I got live bodies locked in chains. In the spirit of Halloween, I'll wear a hockey mask and be that obsessed killer. Teenage kicks, listen close for the screams. ****** from neglect, ****** because of reject, ****** brought on by me always feeling depressed. You called me names, you tortured my spirit, you ****** me like the idols you worship. I've worsen since i started feeding on your hate. This is my manifesto. Are you scared? You should be. Because I won't take the ranting rambling bigotry you speak. This will be something straight out of a horror scene. The plot thickens, foreshadow what's next. If you think this story is fiction well it's not because we live in a cold world and I'm only giving you a description, a depiction of what words can do, I use mine for assistance, I learned to listen, I hope you do too, because you can create a monster with the powerful words you decide to use.

Bully Beat Down
I’m alone, with smoke and bottles. With an itch around my neck, my feet kicks off the bench. Surrounded by darkness, a figure has come to jest. “Did you do your best?” Feeling hypoxic, I try to shake my head “No.” I look at him whilst my feet kick, longing for the ground. Lighter by the second, darkening complexion, I silently scream, “No. No. No.” With knowing eyes, the angel sighed, raised his scythe, ready to chastise. Although red, my eyes see the light. But wait, this doesn’t feel right. Mr. Reaper had nothing to do with me tonight. My back felt the cold of the floor. I’m dying no more. The ancient one cut my rope. “Don’t.” he says to me. “Promise me, try to live.” But I see him nightly.

Listen, I've got guilt choking all of my good juju. I’m sorry I told you we’d hang out just so I could come over to watch Breaking Bad. You know I need that weekly crystalbluepersuasion. I’m sorry I didn't sit on the porch steps with you afterward while you had your evening cigarette. (I could have done that at least.) I imagined you sitting there watching me drive down the street & out of your sight— a lit cigarette hung limply from your lips. I felt your disappointment & I cursed my mother for teaching me to have such a sharp sense of empathy. I know I’ll never be badass enough not to care. I realize I was born to give one too many ***** I've learned to accept it as my incessant character flaw. (It could be worse.) Although, I have to be honest, I get my kicks entertaining the notion that for one evening I was the one that got away.

breaking bad ***** call
I have a working life Monday to Friday. When the weekend comes I’m going to do it my way. I get focus as put on NBA 2K. I’m going to start my career today. On this game my player will reach fame. Wishing I was him...a star. Not sure when in reality I will do the same. Imagine me with fresh kicks, fresh clothes, and a chain. Carry more paper bills than I do change. I’ll switch the game and not complain Time to relax and kick my feet back. Turn on GTA try to raise up them stacks. Run up the streets and prepare to attack. This is my therapy I don’t need no feedback. I mostly like open world games... At the moment I play The Division 2. When my best friend is home. We look for enemies we have to shoot. Finding items for protection even boots. I guess what attracts me is the high tech gadgets. I need them on those high level. Very intense action my lady comes I ignore her distraction. I take my headset off and have her repeat what she was asking. I may be a Gamer but My Lady still come first.

She picks up a pen, a whirlwind of words fly around her head. Her stories are written but not really read, as she plants her special words in her book. She pulls her little book closer, as people are wondering why, she sits there and scribbles every day and every night. Her throat swells and her anxiety kicks in, as worry pumps around her within. She wonders what they'll think, is she weird? But she continues her poems with everything unknown.

Liquid Strength
life is a competition, but no one really wins. we overachieve. set our goals too high. and after all the effort, end up farther back than square one. we pile work upon work for ourselves. we fake it till we make it, but do we ever make it? once the lights go out, black envelops the machine that never stops. not even when we sleep. tears put out the electric fire that burned the socket. and within the blackness that is my mind, you can hear a sizzling sound, until the backup generator kicks in and we begin to run again.

a black bat hangs upside down digesting a fly his face almost human a flying Frankenstein he excretes puddles of guano like miniature buttered popcorn a dark and wavy goulash gods gift to beetles and worms dizzied overheated men look on to an uproarious variety hour of song and a high heeled kicks inspiring a tempest of throbbing whisky drenched folded ***** and cash trouser trout fish,     undulant sexed up tape worms for love pulse the night egging on bunny **** pom poms devout finger puppets of Eros for shimmering ****** lipstick twilled vibratos sequined tassel spinning areolas and lavish come **** me dance girls bring down the house in flames making hearts apostate clamoring and melt men like steaming everglades the bat hangs from the chandelier licks his black lips and looks on to panorama of hieroglyphics hearing music a thunderous nonsense   witnessing visions of flies, tasty white winged moths and the thrill of screams while biting the head off of another bat in a claret stained red velvet cabaret

Just because I’m vulnerable doesn’t mean I’m weak. Just because I don’t cry in front of you doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings. Just because I don’t speak up doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to say. Just because I don’t react doesn’t mean I don’t know how to tear you apart. Just because I smile doesn’t mean you can walk on me. Just because I don’t hurt you back doesn’t mean I lack masculinity. Just because you say I am fat doesn’t make me ugly. Not uglier than your soul. Just because you say I’m feminine doesn’t make my gender redundant. I’m more a man than you’ll ever be, choking on your insecurities. Getting kicks out of putting other people down, everytime you feel threatened by the vastness of the world. Just because I don’t stop you doesn’t mean you can go back to doing what you did. Just because I am me. And not the version of me, You want me to be. Just because I am me. And just because I don’t roar doesn’t mean I’m not strong. I’m more than capable of ripping you to shreds, with my weaponry of words. Just because.

Yes, there is football again today, The melodrama in the usual way, Like ancient dramas, the crowds, The roars and chorus, free kicks allowed! His team are losing again, Do they have a winning vein? Television the negative conduit, He enjoys being sad, leave him to it! Find something else to do in another room, Yes, chicks can have crafternoon, That's craft and reading for me and you, Just throw chocolate at him and zoom!] Why? It's a football afternoon!

THERE IS FOOTBALL.......
In a city full of fake thugs and now record beef they just settle it with 8 slugs There rose a kid from out of Rogers parkway who kicks slow flows containing dopamine in the bars I slay like Dre Day I'm celebrating out the melon insane like dry water the sheep I'll slaughter like a psychopathic ********** with a daughter Allow me to introduce Nero The Damphir psychotic and I kick knowledge like a field goal my pen is spinning the rumpelillest gold causing static with the lyrical automatic I splatter brains on the floor it's a nasty habit to endure. I'm Chicago's poet I spit knowledge and split spines with the rhymes so solid no one will notice I roll this ***** up like the best cest and smoke it unless you take it off the wax and into the turf I'll make you taste the salt of the earth and after you're in the dirt I'll bear you like Paul you have no chance at all against me the pen is all I need to destroy then employ my victims my rhymes stay within them like That dude they net in juvenile detention center I'm centric on hip-hop that is I got love for cold crush sugarhill grandmaster flash and whodini Wu-Tang naughty by nature and Cypress Hill

Chicago's Poet (Rap)
Vermillion lips smile knowingly across the room, so at ease it's almost angelic to see. He grips his wine glass to almost breaking point, what the **** is she doing here? More to the point ,How is she here? Relationships are like cats, let them out, and well they'd better be neutered. That's what gramma said! Slowly, sensually almost, she sashayed over to him, she could see his tension, but not his fear.........yet. Face to face they smile, but her smile never reaches her eyes, he stammers, drops his glass, 'Here, she says you need air' Outside, he's composed 'No one knows, no one knows' he keeps repeating Who are you talking to darling? She whispers Not me,I'm dead, you shot me, I was there, then kicks him hard Vulnerable alone with his red mouthed wife he screams. Guests rush out, to their host babbling, Incoherent, confessing to ****** screaming over and over, blue lights in the distance Closer and closer, guests now witnesses. Host now completely within the pain of a mental Eternal mind slip. She, moves closer to him, soothes him, sirens closer, reassures him as he screams,that yes his wife is dead appeased he looks up in bewilderment. Oh, me, oh darling brother in law did you forget? Jo's twin, the one au-pairing abroad when you married Pleased to meet you

Sealed with Lips
Drip. Drip. Drip. A bone slowly woke just in time to become brok(en). Once spoken, there's no point of lending an ear. There'll be a violent jerking of the wheel, deceptive *** appeal, and an unrequited (love). Now, unwillingly,  it's open. The rhyme is deliberately late, but it's not tardy enough to satiate Swelling lungs-we're just getting started. Both for respiratory and broken-hearted. Here, we speak of energy-specifically kinetic Because you can't live in love and good faith with right hemisphere real, and left prosthetic. AND THAT'S WHERE THIS BEAUTIFULLY KICKS IN. Picking up faster and quicker and clearer and headlights have never come nearer. But I'll be somewhat content lying at rest. While lively and enthusiastic is best, unemployed potential is all I can be. It's something to unwillingly see. You'll watch the clean breaks as the marrow escapes. As I steadily gush onto pavement you'll see how idle I can really be. As I Drip. Drip. Drip.
