Ride a bike without training wheels in an empty parking lot until found.
Eat lunch without deodorant in a sweaty cafeteria until nauseous.
Go to prom without a date in a one stop-sign town until dawn.

Walk to class without pants at a small liberal arts college until famous.
Play guitar without calluses at an ex-partner’s house until fingers throbbing.
Hike a trail without a stick on a one-day trip until sore.

Write a poem no meaning in a 4 x 4 apartment until lost.
Throw someone else’s toothbrush in the trash in a studio until crying.
Delete numbers without reason in a frenzy until numb.
Walk down the aisle without a father in a rustic barn wedding until the groom is smiling.

Hush your lips
look over here

Isn't it a grand view
from how you normally see
of course it is
now you can see from your shadow

Care for a point of view
or maybe a silent scream
so no one can hear you
it's only a thrill of the mind

Don't forget your brain
your thoughts need it
to feed you criticisms
it's  kind of crazy

Normal taught you how to hate yourself
weird likes to express the displeasure of knowing you
stop trying to be unique like everyone else
we're all the same either way

Thought pollution taking up the airwaves
not good for the air heads
going nowhere fast
with something that just made a sound


Rubber lighting nonstick glue
sweet incomplete two halves of meat
together again thanks to the charity
of a hungry thing

It's all just for fun
We pan-lovers must nonstick together!!! I'll be there, when I'm not somewhere else, as soon as I turn 18! You say that now but what about later when you're eating garbage at the dump? My neighbor's a huge lesbian bisexual gay trans-******. He weighs 400 pounds.
Let me bask on the beaches that you have in your huge, smart brain
as I collect bile secreted from diseased livers, causing kidney strain
onto my sprained elbow that I got from a big poodle attack in Spain
while maneuverin' a titanical, behemothical Titan sea-floating crane
I deduced that pan-****** pan-lovers must nonstick together in pain
like did that ***-***-munchin' ****** Alan Ladd who played Shane
whose feelings were imported because he was a ******* in the rain
reekin' of donkey ****, high on lithium carbonate & babbling insane
oaths about eating pompano guts on Key Biscayne while bathing in
Charlie Company's Mỹ Lai Massacre blood as it went down a drain

Chico chihuahua's perspective on me: he feeds me cheese & kills my fleas. My problems are our problems. We pan-lovers must nonstick together!!! I'll be there, when I'm not somewhere else, as soon as I turn 18! You say that now but what about later when you're eating garbage at the dump? My neighbor's a huge lesbian bisexual gay trans-******. He weighs 400 pounds. ***** makes my thrill-hammer numb. I'm inching my way toward a "pantastical" tomorrow! What's the most embarrassing question that you might ask an Aussie who's shopping for ******? Are you going to use it "down under"? Gee ****, where've you been? I've searched every contiguous state except Maryland! When I say "I'm here" I mean that I support you (not in any meaningful way & especially not financially, of course). I'm here to help you. You know that now. Do not play coy with me Missy Cockwad! ~ "What do you see Paula Cockwad?" ~ "I see John Lennon roasting like the former Penelope Cockwad in the fiery bowels of eternal hell." ~ "Is there no redemption for the complacent?" ~ "I should think never." ~ "Might I not fall back into favor with the Lord's fair blessing?" ~ "No."
The **** hunt whales because they're good at
finding them. Chico chihuahua's perspective

My problems are our problems. We pan-
lovers must nonstick together!!!
