"laughable" poems
Selfies, I can smell the desperation, from here. odors of worry; rippling anxities of uncertainity. two dimensional, instantaneous impressions, pixelated presentations, and Teenage frustrations. up tilted camera. held against the light, Illuminating eyes , and eradicating spots. that looks like a good one. Vicarious representation; of how good one could look, fallible and hopeful. big bosomed dame showcasing blessed cleavage, pulsating the adolescent bulges. delivered to metal passenger, thereafter shown among peers. networked to unknown. Friends who'd never met eye, or touched skin, or even spoke. self conscious cropping of images. fat and fearful. wasted hours, dying for love. False dream of captivating the messes with her selfie. The very ugliness of impressions. Oh, how shallow we've became. The denial of the impact of aesthetics. laughable, torrents of judgement Skinny, fat, ugly, behold their desperate eyes behind the selfie.

Hi. Do you care enough to hear me whine? I fear that you don’t see me collecting dust in the dim corner of your room. And while you stand and stare, completely absorbed by your own despair, I remain ready to serve you   and your meaningless life. I can clean your room, yet I can’t clean your mind of the false reality exemplified by your kind. We are similar though, you and I. Wasting our time amassing, acquiring, accumulating. Honestly, we’re mere specks of life, surrendering to realities constructed by our minds. Don’t you know that your beloved earthly pleasures are one and the same as the ******* that I collect? Hard-earned, elusive, temporal, disposable. Its laughable how ignorant you are; consumed by your own subliminal thoughts, leaving you searching for the remnants of what is and what is not. Can’t you see the fallacies present in your head? Gleaming yet blinding, salient yet obscure. Armed with benevolent promises that ultimately leave you for dead. Can’t you see that what you crave will inevitably **** you down to your grave? Incessantly coated with wondrous, tempting illusions that disguise its true nature--garbage. Garbage. Connect the dots, you fool. Can’t you see that you and I are one and the same?

The Cleaner
I take my imaginary pen I write down my anger I close my eyes and count to ten just to breathe a little longer It's laughable really when I see you justifying Sure, you're all touchy-feely only goodwill, so hard-trying When you said that to me where was your heart at? Why calling me your better-half-to-be when all you wanted was a shoulder pat? Oh you, with your wonderful poetry, oh, lies so beautifully written down please just stop, you don't know no poverty in your emerald sea everything you wanted me to believe is to drown I never thought you would make me think the worst of you instead And I swear I could only stand and stare and shrink when you didn't care to lose your head Now you haunt me like the headless horseman and you will forever but I do not worry for my sanity, oh boy of thoughts turned cyan I walked with ghosts before and a headless one is so less clever And if you ever come back looking for this head of yours Think twice, try a little bit harder wannabe It might stick out of the sand at your emerald sea shores Your love for me was never poetry

I met the worst kind of poet
The monotony of adolescence is a laughable oxymoron. My mom keeps saying to me, "Caitlin, you're in a state of flux. Just wait." Little does she know I'm waiting for anything to ebb. Flow. Twinge. Any lurch of impulse of life in this constant static lullaby. Maybe I'm just itching to slough off my skin of content and breathe in a fresh new disposition. Become intoxicated in the maybes, and the possibly's. Embracing the oh-wells and the never-enough-times. Eschewing the feeling of everything I've missed by having it near. Having him here. Getting trapped in the crinkles of his smile and the freckles on his shoulders that navigate me to the spots I feel most comfy. Losing regard for the world as I become transfixed in us and our patterns on his couch. Tumble into elation. Quirks transpire the me's and you's into the us's and we's. To think... I was so scared to hold his hand. Not knowing at the time how great his waffles would taste after a night of holding him.

Waffle Days
Average-joe protagonist wipes beer glasses at the helm of his sports bar, blissfully ignorant of the imminent laughable tragedy. Clouds circle, and there's that obligatory radio broadcast, the one that warns of inclement weather- rainy, with a chance of Selachimorpha. You hum the Jaws theme, tracing pickup lines on the skin of my back, while sharks pour from the sky, the improbable tornado dropping great whites on the California shoreline. One arm curled around my waist, you tickle erratically until I squirm away, only to creep back again, and put my head in the mouth of the sand tiger, wandering too close to the edge of the water, foolish, but this is a b-movie, we swam out too far knowing how it would end. The extras scream and scatter, arms flailing, going through the motions of surprise, stumbling in their scripted attempts to flee the inevitable. Predictably, they fall. We all fall, and the girl trapped in the hammerhead's belly has this peaceful expression, as if she can't quite remember why she ran away in the first place.

Sharknado's On Again
too much time to think. crushing is how i would describe it like walls falling to the floor with a more than deafening crash a single hand suffocating my throat and along with it; a suppression of my creativity, and livelihood i’m not sure who i am without you. it’s been far too long. the mediocrity of my attempts at denial are almost laughable. if it weren’t so pathetic in it’s origin. the night proves to be the worst. stuck; contemplating a lost unity. a severance of what once was. the void and i have found solace in each other. alone, decrepit; trying our best to survive in whatever way, we can. avoiding the gaze of the time. this is such a strange place to be alive.

time (questioning my sanity).
I may have loved you too much, but; A part of me still loves you to this day Your sweetness allures me so, Like honeyed days we’d stare without shame You were irresistible to my heart and I knew trouble cornered me I’d shoo away the laughable thoughts, Aiming to mail you a letter of love To which you’d open it fresh with a scented kiss Flower petals would descend from your heart Your cheeks adopted a sunflower The stars entertained you that night You told me you always dreamed of late evenings Informing me of the curtain of constellations That you’d like to sleep soundly in Of course I’d be willing to offer you anything in return of your smile And the night we escaped, you gasped softly at the surprise Your simple happiness was all one romantic would need No matter where we dreamed, Together we are one Standing besides one another  Fate draws near, echoing our future Your bleakness eats me devastatingly Tomorrow we are still...one being But overseas, I send you my farewells So that you are found in perfect health And that we consume truly divine harmonies Made only for the sweetened couples Whose stories fade ever so forlornly in the past I love you brightly as the sun You illuminate my pathways But one kiss erases my existence Continue to please those around you; Without me, the world withers Please remember my love, And be gentle with it For it is delicate as the world My eyes see a star But yours fail to see within that darkness The gloom that retreats before you arrive I am part of that campaign An honorable being among the troops Yet your continuous ignorance saddens me so See me now, Find me wanderlust in this world And somewhere, we can swiftly enrapture ourselves Whether it be in the meadows of glistening rays Or the places that calmly send the earth into slumber Wherever we are destined, I’ll always be there for you Even if tonight’s curtain unsheathes And you are no longer the image of love, But rather, a friend I could love with silliness on languid days and somber nights.

Funny how the soft touch of your hand, Is home to me, laughable the way you're drawn to me. And your heart Is the best way to get the data, From my crashing mainframe, To back me up, Without condemnation, You're familiar without failure, And yet we fail each other daily, But hope, Makes your embrace- HOME.

She ******* constantly about cigarette smoke. Of course, when she’s drunk, she   smokes all mine. And while she’s complaining she’s taking snipes that I wake up at six in the morning to dig out of ashtrays—walking miles to get. It’s laughable. She sits there with a   ***** **** hanging loosely from her hand and says, “I don’t like my apartment smelling like cigarettes.” I say, “Then don’t smoke.” She says, “Why don’t you buy some real cigarettes—I’ll show you what real cigarettes taste like.” Then she storms off, all *** and hair flying. She comes back with a pack of smokes and a cigar box. “I paid two dollars for this, you can put all your ***** butts in here.” It’s actually beautiful. It’s made of cedar and would look great with a cactus in it. There are wood shavings at the bottom, her money would have been better spent on a dollar pack of rolling papers. I’m field stripping the snow embossed butts and using cut up pieces of the yellow pages to roll cigarettes that I’m able to smoke. She doesn’t have a clue. She only smokes when she’s drinking.

She Only Smokes when she's Drinking
It was, as the New York Times all but sniffed (Even then, a haughty mix of bluenose and black ink) Further proof the poor, misguided Upstate rubes Were no more than ample fodder For any tinhorn, two-bit confidence man to take for a ride. Fair enough—it was, to the careful eye and unheated psyche Clear as the azure blue sky that, Despite the best efforts of acid wash and a year underground, So obviously a statue as to be absolutely laughable, And yet the vox populi came in waves, Not only one-gallus farmers from the fields nearby, But from the great cities near and far (Chicago, Philadelphia, and, yes, even New York itself To throw Hannum a quarter to view his gargantuan grotesquery Just as described in Genesis itself, he noted solemnly So many, indeed, that Barnum himself was divinely inspired Not only to purloin the giant, but its prior owner’s epigram As to the frequency of the manufacture Of his too-credible customer base. While there was (briefly, at least) some mystery surrounding The origins of the brobdingnagian mass of stone, It remained (to some, anyway) equally unfathomable Why scores of folks would careen in unsteady coaches The full length of the Catskill Turnpike, With its questionable lodging and uneven roadworthiness, Or patiently suffer the mosquito-laden flatboats of Clinton’s Ditch All to spend the cash equivalent of two trips to the county fair To see a perfectly good hootchie-kootchie show Simply to gawk at an unevenly carved rock of questionable authenticity, But that explained quite simply, As the public always gets what the public wants.

My feelings on the world are a complex dichotomy. If I could control the world, my rule would be to control nothing. To give freedom and agency to everyone and let every culture and kind shine as they do and **** superiority and focus on growth, not ********** But, not all people aren't as communally minded as that. And though in theory I could change the rules, I can't change people. In its own way, that's beautiful. The visceral strength and resiliency of humanity fascinates me, with the chaotic undertones that lie beneath every eye. I love the spectrum of pain and brilliance it brings. But it also makes a utopian world of understanding and lack of control impossible to keep people safe; because never will there be a human race that doesn't at least have some people craving absolute control. I think this dichotomy within myself parallels my standing with humanity very well. There is something on most every end I can find fascinating: free will, selflessness, unpredictability, tenacity. But also I can never seem to be pleased with how humanity could be but never amount to. Not that it gives me much trouble. I've always kept humanity at an arm's length, choosing books and stories over the flesh-bags in front of my face. The only thing I ever struggled with was not being normal with my human relationships, and trying to make my methods match. My methods won't match because I might as well be an alien for all I care about directly interacting with humanity. Yet, I love humanity, in a way. I could write about human transcendence and growth until I die. I am madly in love with human potential. But I don't love humans. I don't love a species that muscle arms its way into dominance and can be arrogant and small-minded. After all we've managed to accomplish, and we're still start wars over skin color and scapegoating? Its laughable, in a way. I suppose I look at humanity as if I was an alien scientist. I have no way of measuring things or conducting research because I'm foreign, but I can see the greatness in their eyes and am floored by it. Yet I also see the violence in their eyes and am repelled by it. The most tragic, push and pull love of my life has been for this species. I've learned lately I'm okay with being alien. But its strange to find a foothold in a world where I feel constantly at odds and different. But I like strange, so I think its what works best. Between humanity and me, things are complicated. Things are wonderful and painful and all worth the while in its own, ****** way. I suppose all I have is my words and I'll share them, and humanity can listen if it will. I hope it will. I hope it can help people who feel like aliens too, and maybe then being an alien and a human can be easier. But for those things, we'll just have to see.

No two snowflakes are alike. Do you know what that means? Are you able to grasp just how much weight that statement carries? That means that even during a blizzard when the world is being consumed by snow and the flakes are falling faster than a torrential down pour and you can’t see your very own hand in front of you, still even then not one of those trillions of snowflakes will ever match another. It’s practically unthinkable, a laughable old wive’s tale. But then I remember how I saw you that one day with your friends, laughing at something one of them said and I realize in that moment then how something like that is truly possible

My snowflake
I told the professor I loved beat literature and all the hippy consequences. He said they were such a small part of the population (along with Native Americans too apparently,  he noted a different time. Because of what, you ******* I thought). A pompous misguided thing, which either understandably or surprisingly, been teaching there since the 1960s. Five minutes of a winded attempt at putting anglophile humor into the lecture and you know the choice is "understandably" rather than "surprisingly." Been professing for the establishment, closed to other ways of thinking trickery.   A real square through and through. As if all change should come from appeasing the tyrannical bleachy supposed majority. Those in poverty, darker skins, gays, drug users, and all around flashy dressers ought to don suits for their one night Ed Sullivan performance. Get the folks on Bass Run Lane to be okay with seeing you in a glass cage in their living room scene. For just a couple decades. Then maybe they'll be used to seeing you in a grocery store. You'll always be laughable though, as they designed it to be so. The hippies were a very small majority says the anointed professor. "So were the suffragettes" snaps back a fiery thing sitting next to me. I should have talked to her more.

Sick on the Mold of a Herodotus Book
Here we are, awoke Turning the effervescent wheel's Lively spoke And speaking of which, Dreaming through the day I sit awake and with God I Note "where have you been?" In shining stars and spectrography My surveying eyes alight to watch the Topography Shift and fizzle and burn and cook To turn and dance towards a thousand ends. Time a laughable wire severed To hone the momentary soul And yet Let go towards the endless drone of ever Lasting beyond the melting bones It is a beautiful flower of a thing The last through the door for rite of spring Swinging, arms out on the galactic road Aiming for all at that great unknown And yet, I stare up at a beautiful powder-coated sky Watching the clouds curl and saunter by Knowing this truth, never seeing the same thing anew, And hoping somehow to be indemnified Of what? Again, We speak the same To reiterate the revolutive turn in all but name The earth owes naught but dust and dirt, To all which is and ever earned. To not forget that which we come, To not mistake the hand of fate; That all that is shall once be done, Then faith of life is ours to take.

I. leather skin tattoos from youth that are laughable as messy as a room gets every month succumbing and cleaning up a mid-life crisis a broken wind-up soldier folsom prison's bar ‘s open every time the sheets get too cold two year expiration date grease red wine at a dive bar II. never completely remember anything except touch whiskey clouded brains and side-ways smiles tongue-slinger serpent waiting to strike retracting and falling backwards far slithering in during the AM charming underneath the stairs monotony unwanted terms of endearment the tea kettle will always whistle when the water gets too hot III. spells and red lights flicker at late hours on unseasonably warm nights sweat and dragons both thrive from heat smoke, from mouths and cigarettes shakespearean scenes that melt to fingers grazing lips so effortlessly this was all coming in due time after too many moments spent on washing machines in an ancient haunt falling into fictional identities when we come together doe eyes tears fell from poetic words spit so harshly on delicate air a temporary home and an eternal momentary escape

My anxiety is the dream of a knife almost a romantic fantasy of something physical that could cause me the pain or discomfort that really is just coming from my self from some thought that I’ve swallowed or stumbled into or onto and now it’s mine I cannot escape it. Now it’s my burden and the choices are to feast on it or to ignore it until its white noise boiling on the backburner is all but a noose around my neck. The laughable, socially acceptable third option is of course the bottle of red or the little white pill from the purple bottle exchanged from the pink slip handed over by a worried lip.

Addictive, flavorless ******* the life out of my persona Truth? Laughable, when all that's spewed out is lies Tongue tied Giving into the trust You feel it Coursing through veins Corrosive Burn my skin I want to feel pain Disintegrate Bury me alive Coughing, rotting Worthless I haven't had enough Shock me 2000 bolts through my body Until I'm ****** into reality Until I feel something real Why do you ignore it? How much louder do I have to shriek When will enough be enough? Walk on the road Cautious

Dangerous
A laughable matter, how hours seem to change you. Not change you fully, at least not in the way a metamorphosis occurs. It changes the signs of irritation, the raising alarm and mostly it adds a deep longing. A familiar feeling weighing down each breath. It feels like a numb explosion. Like there is more to it, but it never peaks. It taunts with promises of relief, but leaves you boneless. Instinctively you mark it as an unsatisfying end. Could be labeled pessimism or rationalization. You hope for more, you always do. Maybe it's the stop of the turning clock, the one that resounds heavily each night. The disappointment will dissipate eventually, but it feels like centuries until it does. The memories that keep flashing are like salt; the familiar sting of the shame from fresh wounds. The wind you always carry with you, it drifts you off to foolish daydreams. It helps hold back the inevitable shame and guilt. Soon you understand, this is all erratic. It must lead to an origin, but it is one you cannot find. You realize the attachment to this coldness is horrifying. You never plan to be cold, it just catches fire. Time takes its toll. It takes away the chance of ever amending; of retribution. The obstacles are clearly organized to hinder much needed evolution.

Limerence
They are the ones That rule the world for fun They disseminate the guns And tell us to run So we flee From their disease That will not cease Power is control that money buys Burying us in gold and petty lies They tell us the well has run dry While we watch them fly Fences of barbed wire For us to admire Inferno funeral pyres Burn our desires When they rattle We're the cattle That goes to battle They talk to us with false information And real bullets They say it is our fault for instigation The trigger they pull it When their saccharine voice Offers a laughable choice Forsake love and compassion To adopt their fashion Of society crashing They used to use lashings Now they use time Punishing those who aren't complicit in their crimes They put us in prison If we don't agree with their decisions Decimating Bedouin life So they can profit from strife People ask who "they" are The easiest answer is not me And the problems aren't too far For anybody to see That there is a "they" Not intent on doomsday But numb to the death of strangers Which puts us all in danger I could point to examples like Lockheed Martin and Shell As two companies that put us in hell Or a country like North Korea That has violent ideas Or a man like Donald Trump Who is a parasitic lump They convince us they don't exist So we don't resist While they insist We enlist In their army Of harming Starring Them We hem And haw While they write laws That point out our flaws That are minimal compared to theirs Yet they are the fortunate heirs Who decide the code of conduct Which is whatever sells their product From plastic to bombs Killing dolphins and moms They feel they can't be wrong When might Is right The meek take flight But there is poison in the air And they don't even care They **** the Earth And ****** its inhabitants What are we worth When it's to the rich we gravitate? There is an apostle Who's turned into a fossil That is converted into fuel So they can keep their pull And use us as tools To unearth jewels And hoard them Because we can't afford them We surrender our resources to a select few To do what they choose Until we all lose And can't see the light of day Who else to blame but "they"?

Learn to recognize lies, while they stand at Their podiums, and proselytize, Like so many Sunday preachers, You can see it in their eyes, and Their shifty ****** features, though Their words seem sincere, Their subtle cues, serve as Teachers of their inner intent, so Don't forget your diligence, and Let them **** your dissent, with Empty promises and rhetoric, to Fill your head with lies about, How war is for the betterment, of Nations abroad, the sentiment Is laughable, the premise is a fraud. Cause when it all boils down, and When push comes to shove, Democracy has grass roots, it's Not imposed from above, and At the end of the day, money is The factor prime, it's the secret Justifier for this terroristic crime, First, they bombed Iraqi cities, In a trial of "Shock and Awe" That killed even more civilians, Than what 9/11 saw, and Once the cities were demolished, Halliburton then rebuilt them, and Reaped enormous profits, To the tune of 40 billion, and Among other things, in this "Just" war's spoils, were The underground oceans, Flowing full of crude oil, and We all fund these atrocities, These lies, these hypocrisies, well If you decide this ain't the type, Of thing that you can stand for, Write "exempt" on line 7, of your W-4

Remember Where Your Taxes Go...
You think you're a rebel? So charming and laughable You defy the norm? You are not unique You're just another copy You can't even be yourself so pathetically and easily influenced. layers and layers that hide the real you, do you even know who you are anymore? Nor do I I'm a hypocrite Who does anyway? Lost, buried and never found, never to be again.

Carbon Copy
To be taken silently with violence Not to utter a salutation Just the cracking of a door hinge And a look that indicates that stopping your desires would be laughable An absurdity not to be pondered! The jolting sound of head cracking against metal And wrist yearning to be ground to the bone After hours of furtive clutching The kind on nail bending fervor that just takes the taste right from bread Grabbed into a cranium synthesis Im am forever enslaved in the darkest corridor of your existence I doubt I will ever be able to leave this lighting wasteland The eagerness pounding through the point were skin meets weapon I am infiltrated like a shanty filled village A real slum filled valley Hopeless against tracking systems and torture methods You plunder my underdeveloped hospitality Like Jesus to a farm boy As I scream **** you Mongoloid I am gasping into your filth A sacrificial lamb Bliss by the slaughter wells Mouthfuls of disgust As your knees jab deep into skid row Grinding the forgotten and the deserted Until they are flattened corpses ****** dry of the water holding them together You are pleased The phantom has been fed and to ask for seconds would only tease the lamb As I lay gushing organs with a smirk Broken bent and emaciated I feel alive and it is wondrous.

Cannibalism in the laundry mat
I don't like cold technology, I'd prefer bulky computers, I don't like kindles, I prefer books, I prefer blue eye shadow, To contouring. I, Was born in the wrong time. I wish life was like the 80s, When children still played outside. I like old 'scary' movies that aren't scary at all, But today's 'horror' Is, Not even laughable. I wish I could've watched Star Trek the original series on tv, When I came home from school, Or at least seen the original Star Wars, in the theaters. This generation just doesn't do it for me at all.

Generation: mistaken
It's starting Puff puff Drink drink Just a little to start A tingle euphoria generates through my body Hahahah  How heavenly What a draining relief has come Laughable ramblings through the groups Fickle chat Random silences A leveling effect has come Teeter todder invisible waves rub across my body How invigorating The tingle Slowly shifts into a numbing pulse I didn't notice How nice Then it fades away Like a butterfly in a suns rays Sweet intoxication
