"mutated" poems
* [Part the First] There's some giddy, childish sensation The hope of a new generation Faceless cameras war for my voice A flashing ocean of stomps and shoves Taken from me is my choice Given is a false sense of love They smile too wide to be true Contorted and stretched, like some plastic But they're all I have before the blue So deep breaths, and then come dramatics People who pass me by Don't seem to realise The emptiness of the sky When they look into my eyes They ask: Is it lonely up in space? Is it a cold, abandoned place? Is it bright amongst the stars? Do you know who you really are? [Part the Second] My life has faded to drunken thoughts Reality doesn't confirm what can't be bought The multicoloured psychedelia Of nebula turning to rainbows Now looks more fake than ever And so my sanity goes There's a beast out there, lurking I'm not sure if it wants me But my hope is hiding, sulking From the abyss that can hear and see The worst way to die is alone Where there's no one who can help me As my punishment destroys my home At least, from my memory They screech: It's so lonely up in space It's a cold, abandoned place It's too bright amongst the stars I think I'm dreaming too far [Part the Third] The faintest echo of laughter Presents itself as my only answer It's distant, like someone drowning in ecstasy But it rings from the walls to my ears The effect of the starry-eyed seas Has mutated into whimpering fears I know I'm not amongst the stars anymore But the damage cannot be undone So I gave myself to the floor I could lie here, and never see the sun Space could've never actually existed Just a vivid fantasy of escape But my mind has been so twisted It must've been the cruelty of fate They wonder: Was it lonely up in space? Was it a cold, abandoned place? Will the stars ever forgive? Do I still have a life to live?

_1981_ They came in like diseased eagles; mutated forms of those they wore on their chest and with the change once again in the weather, the ZOMO swooped in to quell what was ‘wrong’, what would bring them down. They run in the streets as well as the miners, running for different reasons and different aims. I look down, out my window and see the army helmets littering the street like rats.             Police.          Rats. I could no longer see a difference. My father went to work that morning. I clutch my doll knowing the chance of seeing him again is             Miniscule.   Poor. There is no more cereal in the cupboard; there is no more cereal in the shop; there is no more shop. The ZOMO set it on fire when the word                           Solidarity appeared in the window. “We are closing the border for the safety of the People”             Incorrect.     Unjustified. For the safety of You, the Elite. “Nine killed in mine shooting” Which side? Only the ZOMO carry guns.             Fascism.       Communism. I could no longer see a difference

Batman, Superman, Iron Man to I cant fly I can not turn blue? Captain America, Wolverine, Flash, I cant shoot lazers from my eyes or be there in a dash. X-men, Watchmen, Xavier too, im not from krypton or mutated from a Zoo. Im not another hero I was rasied as a zero, through words I can inspire and now retire.

Not Another Hero
My generations at a hold up Force fed lies by society We're never gonna grow up Preoccupied with what we need We subconsciously become devoured by greed Insecurity is at the bottom of consumption "You need ____ to succeed" We're the last of a dying breed Materialistic makeup Our genetics have mutated We're no longer able to wake up From the nightmare we've created Identification has taken a new definition You are what you posess Unaware the latest trend is only repetition Sheltered by our ignorant need Progress is our main goal Yet we're unsure of how to proceed So instead we proclaim our need for change While spending the last of our common sense On a fee to enter this stage Which acts as our cage Locking us into society's game It's the final act Our last chance to fame

Dear Girl, I really really love you, yes I do. Not like it used to be, I'm no longer "in love", It's something different, that I'd never felt before, But I really really love you, Dear Girl. Dear Girl, I really really mean it, yes I do. Not "in love" like I used to be, I'm something else, It's so strange, and I've never felt it before, But I really really love you, Dear Girl. Dear Girl, I really really mean it, yes I do. Not like I used to be, I've changed a whole lot, It's different, my heart doesn't want "in love", But I really really love you, Dear Girl. Dear Girl, This poem was a long time coming, But I wrote the story when I didn't know how to be me, Now wrote the poem when I grew some brains, But I always really loved you, Dear. Sweet Girl, You didn't deserve those late nights, Where I killed your insides, when I made you cry and cry and cry, They made you love me less, they made you numb, and you fell out of love, But I really really loved you, Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl, I've never been anything you deserve, You had to pick me up off the floor, and it was more than you needed, You pieced me together, but the person before you, she sabotaged me, I had a destruct button you couldn't see, Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl, Neither of us saw it, We both thought I'd healed, from the awful things that happened to me, You didn't get to see, but the person you were, you stayed with me, When I became a nuclear disaster, Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl, I try not to blame, But you'll never understand how your mother was the Tsunami and Earthquake, and I was Fukushima, We both didn't see it, but I was a nuclear plant, and meltdown waiting to happen, The damage was too great, that June, Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl, I never understood, Even my own actions, because I loved you from the start, and I don't know what happened to me, But in times before you, people built me, and you just became the new plant operator, You didn't know I was so unsafe, Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl, Nuclear plants are rather safe, They just can't handle Tsunamis and Earthquakes, because they're made of materials that crack, Under that kind of stress, I didn't just crack, I crumbled, I began melting down, But you didn't know and I'm sorry, Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl, You've been through a lot, The Tsunami was hard, but you didn't know about the radiation, that it would destroy you, You were mutated by the horrible conditions you had to live through, But you didn't know and I'm so very sorry, Sweet Girl. My love, You didn't know it, But we were both reactors waiting to blow, disasters waiting to happen, to cause destruction, We mutated each other until we didn't even know who we were, I'm so very sorry, so so sorry, My love. Poor Girl, I really really try today, yes I do. Not like I used to try, but now I try to be strong, and not a nuclear reactor but more like carbon fiber, But carbon fiber is brittle, since you killed me inside, But I forever love you, Poor Girl. Poor Girl, You've cleared your rubble, Growing to be the most amazing and beautiful of skyscrapers, you're an inspiration for the world, you know, You're so much different, standing taller than you'll ever know, But skyscrapers can fall too, Poor Girl. Poor Girl, You make yourself content, Being alone, you tell yourself that alone doesn't mean lonely, That you find peace in the solitude, But solitude is an empty thing, Poor Girl. Poor Girl, We can pick each other up, You don't even know, it's not the same kind of picking up that we tried before, This picking up can only go up, Because we don't even care to feel sad anymore, Poor Girl. Poor Girl, You don't even know, how much I want to kiss you, But it's different than before, it's more like the kisses mothers give to children, When their children are crying, the kind of kisses that make great statements and tell stories, The stories only kisses can give, My girl.

queer creature of white stone: the spirit of the island in the head of this lion, the soul of the natives in the body of this fish, spirit and soul, lion and fish, mingle together by mere wry humour of evolution’s word we revere this beast, (it watches over us from nine metres above), we bow down our backs, (worship it as our exemplar): for many of us, unknowingly, we emulate the spirit and soul of this queer white creation of stone. standing tall (unshaken!) even as jaundice bolts of heaven’s creep tip-toed behind its scales and strike: its cemented steadfastness of stone we emulate, for through the towering grey waves of crisis, and the threatening dark clouds that foretell our very fears, we too, have floated and transcended and appeared unscathed. mutated monster – child of bad genes, they despise such unfavourable antagonistic features (shall it rule like a lion or flail like a fish?): its unlikeliness of surviving, of thriving we emulate: for this dotted smudge of red pen ink on the globe, destined to bow down to fate – bowed down not, and flourished. beams of white water spouting out in a perfect shape of a quadrant’s circumference, endlessly, its majestic spewing action we emulate: this island of expectations, sterile smell of success, fate of our future in the setting of an exam hall, (in there do you not think we resemble the merlion, our mouths the hoses, the papers our well?) but, oh, the merlion – so many of it – the merlions, same-maned, same-scaled, fluttering and bursting with imitation across our home: such congruity, conformity we emulate: for years of yearning to swim in the mainstream waters, of being goldfish, instead of losing the waters for flight like flying fish, have made us very much, about the same. queer creature of white stone: do you see not how we resemble your very self, how we offer you praise (by lifting our human arms, arching on our mere knees, hoisting our lowly mortal heads, surveying your colossal royalty, camera in hand)?

Metaphorical suicide. My feelings are as deep as the valleys running across my wrist: Non existent. Countless heart breaks from a single girl proved to be a likely deterrent. Old habits die easy with you, causing my fists to turn a dark red hue. Empty bottles and cigarettes litter the floor, a noose hanging above being the only door so that I will finally soar. Or dare I ask, and partake in this task which will surely leave me stripped of my sanity. Watch me load a revolver with a single casing engraved "True Love" .  Look me in the eyes as  I place the barrel of the gun made from the broken memories we shared together unto my chest, and watch as I pull the trigger, causing my metaphorical platter splatter into globs of grey matter. I lay in my bed sleepless, non  existent lateral lines running up and down my wrists, non existent, yet I still feel the throbbing and the slow spill of everything I ever felt ,drip down into my sides, surrounding me in a puddle of... Real tears caused by the fears of letting go, or is what surrounds me are all the mistakes I've made, mutated from being left alone with no where else to go, so they make their way to the surface waiting for me to profess all that I've wronged? No. All that would have been too merciful. Instead you took all of my feelings, my love, my heart, and melted it down into the shape of a metal bat, ironically engraved "tough luck" and proceeded to beat me in. Not to bad, or painful. But to the point where I feel it, then the pain quickly recedes, like i am stuck in the sand of a island you marooned me on, The acid waves wash over me for a split second, causing pain into my heart, then it's gone. Causing me to forever constantly.

I feel her there sometimes Sometimes silent, sometimes not When she is silent the emptiness is Oppressive And makes my skull feel heavy and weak And my thoughts clouded with The groping fingers of all that ask, "Are you okay?" When she screams, I am filled To the brim with panic and chaos That spews from her maw in Tangled, writhing masses The sound is almost angelic. Is she heavenly? I have never seen her but I know what she looks like. It is a knowing feeling, or an overexcited imagination? Long, tangled black hair, Something is caught in the snarls and curls. A pale face whiter than bone, Thin and fragile like china. Hands clawed and twisted, Feet swollen and scarred. A white dress long in tatters slipping off the bony shoulder *please take me back, take me home* I plead but there are no words Comprehensible to my human (However extraordinarily mutated) Brain That leave her cracked lips.

You don't love me; you love the tip of the iceberg that is your idea of me; the sugar-coated mute leading herds of unfinished sentences down the copious hills of his insecurity; the nice little writer whose constant attempts at legendary one-liners are as hit-or-miss as a sitcom still airing far past its prime. I possess three biomes, or, rather, three networks of personalities and identities. I am much more than the Jack Macfarland archetype lip-syncing to Cher in the one gay bar in town, tyrannically governing your wardrobe, possessing a razor-sharp wit cast toward the backs of his community in the form of an outdated punchline- my work on that show lost its Willful relevance and Graceful naivete years ago. I am of the generation fed media saturation three four-hour meals a day, who ingested cardboard cadavers as if they were mother's milk and internally mutated their thoughts and desires to fit the compact time frame of 30 minutes to settle the series' worth of traumas and neuroses while making it home for dinner to stay tuned for what's next in the lineup. Speaking as a casualty of this inevitable chain of events, I regretfully declare that even those who have seen every episode of myself for the past six seasons are still light years away from the room full of faces unencumbered by euphemism.

Sway of a tree, rope hanging down. Swing, crack, swing, feet graze the ground.

You needed someone to know that this pain was real Swing, crack, swing, go the branches above you They called out with the wind and begged you not to Mutated in the brain, lay the mangled secret And it whispered to you softly Keep it, keep it, keep it.

M is for morning
Jonathan Anderson's collections walk a confounding tightrope between naïveté and decadence. Much of his new menswear looked like clothes for a futuristic, spiritual retreat (Anderson himself said he wanted something "laid-back, Zen-like"), but the buckled patent shoes were purest dancehall honky-tonk. The fitted leather jackets were pretty flashy, too, especially when contrasted with multi-pleated pants in plainest calico or denim. "He took himself seriously," said the voice-over that launched Michel Gaubert's stirring soundtrack (a journey all in itself), but that felt like Anderson poking a little fun at his own expense—or at least anticipating reactions to his quirky rationale. He insisted his collection was actually like an imaginary world that a child might create for himself, akin to the tree houses he and his brother used to build. The preciousness that such a boy would bestow on things that are essentially valueless was reflected in the ordinary objects—keys, tools—that were transmuted into jewelry, the board game that mutated into a constructivist jacquard, and the calico or denim artfully constructed into the pants that made up the foundation of the collection. Some of the models were carrying a small metal frame on which curious little things were suspended, almost like charms to ward off who knows what. That subtly occult tinge has become something of an Anderson signature, the way he disturbs the refined with the raw, for instance—a thin strand of bamboo or a bandage of calico nipping the waist, or a crude smear of paint across a tulle top so fine it is barely there, or even a white feather stuck to a shoulder. Such touches feel last-minute spontaneous, but also off-kilter, which is exactly where Anderson wants to keep us. But his work is now so consistent that off-kilter is proving a rather pleasant place to be.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/evening-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses

*concerning the last lines... all we can do with the Cartesian Libra is add adjectives to it, which is contrary to what the existentialists did by simply modifying a furthered abstraction of the compounds 'i think' and 'i am', via the inverted comma(s), otherwise known as dittoing, sic, prior said, or re-, true to the oddity; a king will continue to question his position / being a king by not thinking about it, hence his uninhibited delusions, hereditary, very much genetic; and hence someone who precursors his being with much concern for thinking, the inhibited delusion, self-serving - both are adjective expansions of the Cartesian Libra, just added qualities, given both are facts requiring a slab of marble to look like Rodin's kiss - or approximate, with therefore being the chisel, and so dependent the end product, indeed a slab of marble at first, but not necessarily Rodin's kiss at the end - perhaps a Notre Dame gargoyle...* i am what i think, that's what i came up with after reading some of the bio sketches - even though the truth is that i am what i own - thinking is the part that comes last, if i own a bed and a roof over my head, i end up i thinking about being homeless - but sometimes you do find the ones that are inclined to be what they think, the extremes we call them - supreme anti-materialists, it's not satisfying to own a house or a phone, more is required, something tinged with transcendental counters - they "own" a home but rather not live in it, already the looming fairy of heaven tells them of an unnatural life expectancy - some might say thinking a form of uninhibited delusion sketches, like i'd be a venture capitalists taking a weekend away in Hawaii while some ridiculousness of poverty in India was to blame for my jet streams and carbon footprints - they keep the inhibited delusional in cages without a chance to sketch - because the uninhibited delusional have all the freedoms that Versailles could allow - or... uninhibited delusions of non-thought, inherited, hereditary, versus inhibited delusions of thought, mutated, self-invented... this could very well be a "magic" square with two further variations, i.e. uninhibited delusions of thought (psychopathy) inhibited delusions of non-thought (coma?

*concerning the last lines... all we can do with the Cartesian Libra is add adjectives to it, which is contrary to what the existentialists did by simply modifying a furthered abstraction of the compounds 'i think' and 'i am', via the inverted comma(s), otherwise known as dittoing, sic, prior said, or re-, true to the oddity; a king will continue to question his position / being a king by not thinking about it, hence his uninhibited delusions, hereditary, very much genetic; and hence someone who precursors his being with much concern for thinking, the inhibited delusion, self-serving - both are adjective expansions of the Cartesian Libra, just added qualities, given both are facts requiring a slab of marble to look like Rodin's kiss - or approximate, with therefore being the chisel, and so dependent the end product, indeed a slab of marble at first, but not necessarily Rodin's kiss at the end - perhaps a Notre Dame gargoyle...* i am what i think, that's what i came up with after reading some of the bio sketches - even though the truth is that i am what i own - thinking is the part that comes last, if i own a bed and a roof over my head, i end up i thinking about being homeless - but sometimes you do find the ones that are inclined to be what they think, the extremes we call them - supreme anti-materialists, it's not satisfying to own a house or a phone, more is required, something tinged with transcendental counters - they "own" a home but rather not live in it, already the looming fairy of heaven tells them of an unnatural life expectancy - some might say thinking a form of uninhibited delusion sketches, like i'd be a venture capitalists taking a weekend away in Hawaii while some ridiculousness of poverty in India was to blame for my jet streams and carbon footprints - they keep the inhibited delusional in cages without a chance to sketch - because the uninhibited delusional have all the freedoms that Versailles could allow - or... uninhibited delusions of non-thought, inherited, hereditary, versus inhibited delusions of thought, mutated, self-invented... this could very well be a "magic" square with two further variations, i.e. uninhibited delusions of thought (psychopathy) inhibited delusions of non-thought (coma?

The pale lips are smashed together in a fake smile, the teeth not wanting to show in the little pod of the mouth, hiding like scared peas. It’s frightening. The eyes crinkled just right so that it looks so plastered on that you can tell it is fake, the folds overlapping again and again in an unnatural way. I blink. The cheeks covered in makeup, splashed on in spots, smoothed over in others, splatter painted to look realistic. It doesn't work. The fingers resting oh so stiff on the stomach raised a bit so that they are hovering above the skin, like he doesn't want to touch the dead fabric. I wouldn't. The suit, so neatly pressed that not a wrinkle shows, except for on the collar where nobody notices. But I do. The silk lining of the box he is resting in is shiny and overly polished, like a cherry wood dining room table with an overload of Pledge. It hurts my eyes. The bouquet of flowers is a bundle of Death’s heavy perfume disguised as a bunch of roses and daisies. The smell is disgusting. The picture frames surrounding the box are shined like pairs of leather shoes, embedded with gems and memories that are long past. It makes me sad. The stuffed animals in the corner gaze deadly at the group, mold and dust sapping the life out of their beady eyes. They make me shiver. The chair I sit on is hard and stiff, the cushion starched to the breaking point, the crackly material hardly comfortable. I squirm. The vent above me blows a gale of cold air and underlying currents, which whips up my hair in a flurry of brown. I pat my head. The people around me clutch tissues in bony hands, the wadded up paper soaked through with tears and makeup. It looks gross. So as I observe every detail of this morbid place, I close my eyes and breath deep. Mistake. The air is ripe with anger and sadness, misery and frustration. Musky lady perfume, sharp man perfume. My hands clench, unclench, furl, unfurl. My throat closes up then swallows that lump of matter lodged in my my esophagus. What is death? What is Heaven? What is God and Jesus and church? What is all of that if it ends up like this? Like a cancerous tumor, like a lump of mutated cells, like a painful death? It is forgiveness and freedom and newness. With that I open my eyes again and cry.

To tell the story of the nice-guy is to tell a tale of unlost innocence.   There is no complexity that circumstance can’t remedy.  There is no effort to niceness; only a ****** world that blossoms on genetically mutated ideology, growing larger than generations past. Tomorrow, in Houston, a butcher will wake up to slaughter a cow he may have named.   There will no be no tears when he grills steak for the wife he wooed and the children he prescribed himself.   Three daughters, from fifteen to twenty-two.   Tiramisu for dessert.   Ten guns in the cabinet beneath the stairs and innocence buried behind the woodshed. Pretend now, that you are forgiven.   Mistakes fade like snow angels, regrets float like chemtrails. You love you as much as the world always did.   You have not seen friends struck down by powders or lunacy, you have only lived in the glow of their light.  Hearts remain full.   The word swagger hasn’t been hijacked by hip hop and bluejeans still mask imperfections.  Sunsets are memorable, and so are first dates and last kisses.   Sun won't blister fragile shoulders.   Fields blossom just in time to suit your irregular taste buds, satisfying sweet corn cravings on Christmas. Forget your father’s words or a stranger's hand.   Forget improbability, impossibility, impotence, importance, impatience and improper goodbyes.   Forget the tears cried alone into ***** filled sheets at midnight.   Forget the effect but remember the cause, camouflaged like a landmine of good ideas.   Forget the fights and slow-turn walk-aways that turned words flaccid.   Forget friends ******* ex-girl friends and amphetamines crashing into hallucinations.   Nice-guys vanish like good ideas, lost in the shuffle, looking for pen and paper, just like house cats die on the forth of July, and all that’s left are ashes on a mantel alongside fraudulent grins.

There are too many segments in this orange, I tore away the rind and pulled at the pith with my thumb, exposed the flesh that fell apart, but there are too many segments in this orange, it won't fit back together. Ill fitting fruit, mutated citrus genes. You were bigger than yourself. What freaky secrets your cratered, sunset skin hid beneath its thick, fragrant glow.

The Orange
I wish I could erase Those days fawning over him Just so I could say I have only ever loved you But I must be harsh To be honest And that is what you ask So I did once love a boy Long after you left Because he stopped tears And had nice dimples He was so different from you I knew nothing of him really But was enticed Intrigued So lonely and lustful My infatuation Morphed into a mutated love But now I wish to erase him Erase the eyes Dimples Erase the tears he saved me from Erase everything Except how I still mentioned your name To him All the time Because the truth is You were my first love And that Is unforgettable.

The Ugly Truth
Dreams are mutated monsters They've adapted to this world They give you hope Just long enough To let their brothers in And trust me When that happens The brothers will destroy you during the day And the dreams will turn on you And destroy you during the night Dreams are mutated monsters

Dreams
I waited too long to mow my lawn biopsy my lung yet lived long enough, anon, however long is long. Whatever. It's not wrong to count along while busy living. Sing and stay strong absorb the sun's photons and store them in your bones. Those bones outlast slights and spurns are white as lightning and strong as sticks and stones. Inside is one's spirit, soul, the nameless one the one that's never known. It has no cell phone can't communicate or even moan. Therefore. Why complain? Have some fun. Soon I'll be undone subterranean my garden burned down. So what. John Donne died and so did Milton. Emerson too, and Whitman. Get over it. Vote. Love. When the train comes in the station whistle with it, wish on stars with passion or careful hesitation. Anything's fine, within reason. Season by season things get done. Algebra and calculus, Malcolm X, George Washington. No taxation without representation. A gun in every den. People will be governed one way or another, by a sovereign or trusted friend. Corporation. Men are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Evils to which they are               resigned. I'm too young to die! I cry. My generation cannot outrun the sun but I want to see what happens next, a tsunami or tornado, rain and wind beyond our comprehension hit in the head by speeding debris, irony of ironies! plastic contraptions, rotting computers and yogurt cups, pain in the baby! Moment's notice. None, I notice, live long enough to see the end. Amen. A million years hence human sense has so modified and mutated among other moons we share one mind and everything's remembered by everyone. Look it up. There is no death, just perfect rest. A perfect tan is possible, and work is fun. I'm going there when I pass on because souls will travel at warp speeds, using nuclear fission. About suffering, religion was right (and wrong) all along.

When I look in the mirror and I see nothing, but they visualize the world in my curves so I go with it. I feel degraded, but their satisfaction somehow settles my nerves more than I’ll ever admit. There has to be something more than this, but instead I’m stuck in a mutated bliss that gives me less than a pinch of confidence, which I savor as my self-significance... ...is this all I’m worth?

We grab our blades, and go to war. You cut me up, and I cut you more. I beat your arms, while you flood my head. **** out your words, and I drown instead. Yet you've no bruises, mine are as dim as night. They say it's just darkness, but they can't see your eyes. You mutate reality, and I only help. "Can I get better?" I say; and, farewell--
