In high school we learn of logarithms, iambic meter how to balance an equation between zinc oxide and excess hydrogen gas– only to find there was no reaction to begin with. We’re told that colleges get to know you through three letter acronyms—ACT, SAT, GPA… and our name is somewhere in the application. It’s repeated to us to the point of meaninglessness, like a perpetually chanted word: Grades, scores and testing, testing, testing. The students they want know everything that will be forgotten by their thirtieth birthday. I anticipate the day that our Geometry teacher is to write an essay on the individual’s struggle against a systematically inhumane society in Orwell’s 1984 only to receive a “D” under the scrutinizing eye of the honor’s English teacher Or, perhaps, the day someone in charge is faced with some insufferable fate the textbooks call chemical stoichiometry, thirty years after repressing memories of having to memorize the periodic table Socrates once said that the youth today will be the demise of civilization. We contradict our parents, are smug in the face of authority and tyrannize our poor teachers— a youth who will ultimately leave behind a world too damaged for our children to inherit. Funny he said this roughly 2,000 years ago– I think my dad said something like that last year. But, until the day we grow up to pay taxes and marry someone we despise, we’re just stupid teenagers.

In high school we learn of logarithms, iambic meter how to balance an equation between zinc oxide and excess hydrogen gas-- only to find there was no reaction to begin with. We're told colleges get to know you through three letter acronyms-- ACT, SAT, GPA And the students they want know everything that they'll forget once they turn thirty. Little do we realize that if our Geometry teacher were to write an analysis on the coexistence of good and evil in To **** a Mockingbird, he would likley receive a "D" under the scrutinizing eye of the honor's English teacher Nor do we see that the art instructor would freeze in her tracks faced with an assignment filled with the insufferable fate of chemical stoiciometry Socrates once said that the youth today will be the demise of civilzation. We contradict our parents, are smug in the face of authority and tyrannize our teachers. Funny he said this roughly 2,000 years ago-- I think my dad said something like that last year. But, until the day we grow up to pay taxes and marry someone we despise, we're just stupid teenagers.

Facing the canvas
Unwavering in front of a sliver pistol, I challenged the bullet To fire between empty eyes. Lucid, in limbo, falling with neither time nor space, My head expanded Filled with nitrogen oxide. Blinded black velvet, floating away from expansion, I strained my eyes open, To see the other side. Blanketed black silk covering every corner, But a pinprick hole torn, A lazily winding light.

Lucid life and death
please don't ask why my words are so intent on chaining your heart to the nightmares I've stuffed my pillows full of with promises rusting into blackened iron links and truths that would shine better as lies I never meant to cage you in my dreams - it's just that my eyelids solder shut and I cannot pry my silver eyelashes apart without cracking at the faultlines I forget to mention whenever I wake up alone it's just that my soul needs more than a little oiling more than a little you to breathe away this metal corroding its way into my tear ducts, dripping rust down my cheeks, choking on 'blood oxide' and mechanical residue buried underneath my fingernails it's just that every ******* 'i love you' is yet another link around my finger, wrenching the life out of me, blue shadows engraved on my skin never shine like silver in the sun but if this is the only clanging chain of heartbeats echoing in metal boxes from me to you; what can I do? it's just that there was a lock somewhere along this mess of coils and chinks and mistakes but oh god, when did the rust between you and I melt into three thousand miles of mercury trickling thermometer poison into everything we say? I've lost my keys; they had sunk first and I will sink last it's just that the clinking thump thump of your heartbeat is my lullaby; it's just that knowing you breathe warmth is enough to cool the burning silver in my lungs; it's just that close to you is the closest I will ever feel to 'alive' it's just that if I can't keep you - nobody can

my whole mouth tastes like metal, copper pennies from before The Great Zinc Switch filling my warm wet mouth. cigarette smoke hazing my sinuses like a frat rush and I'm desperately in need of an Advil. let me place my coppery lips on your bronzed skin, Amman to Atlanta, nails like knives and The Book of Biology teasing hormonal touches and hydration. iron oxide keeps flaking off my skin, eczema and psoriasis in rust, and the guitars in my ears are ******* furious. and still: sweat and *** in the sheets, your love lingering on my palate like a too sour wine; you fermented and curdled in my mouth, and to taste you now is agony. time is dilating around me in ripples; I cough until the gas in my stomach releases itself; crystal abrasive. it's all drugs and tinder matches these days, ****** kids... total sunbeam, in my opinion there's still enough for a couple more hits, it's still rolling, words cloud around my head like so much weedsmoke, Storm clouds on the horizon of my parietal lobe and I feel fine. I am fine.

count thy words like you count your breathes - not! the estimable statisticians can estimate the proximate number of breaths our lives will take, the inventory of words, we shall on average aggregate we breathe recklessly, never stopping to slow down the rate with which we tirelessly consume ourselves think of the mess of words, a brain store, like a breath, use it and then purposeful lose it, once employed, nevermore, so write often, even longingly, as in, write long, write hard, every word expelled, a treasure, returned to brother poets for their consumption and reutilization, the monoxide, of a shared oxide when thy stock of words in trade, almost all used up, perforce, must write only short little sweet nothings well, in happy desperation, compose alliterative allegations, nonsensical noises, aiming to pleases summation of essential humanness remain few breaths, issue rhythmic sounds, colorful grunting noises, outed one last intelligible poem that cannot ever be read

count thy words
I sometimes wield the pen in spite Of why I am convinced I write The poetic words that I spill Spill like a glass of water That’s been stirred to overflow By my feelings and thoughts or so I have gotten to know The will of the flow The direction that it wants to go That’s what po- etry is all about, no? Because poem starts with a P for personal Not popular Or populous Not for the people who prefer prying Pickpocketing or playful plying In the placid plains inside It’s for the persons who pray To the poet’s plight To go out on an odyssey, with an O, the second letter Not omniscient Or omnipotent For oscillating with your own Is only for ones once overthrown By an onslaught of hydrogen per-oxide Those ostracized and odd Off, yet open to the outside E is the third letter And it stands for emotional Or extorted until emptiness Extended after the excavation had ended and emotion was evacuated ere The embodiment of ecstasy Had been enterred here Lastly M stands for me! Me, myself and I! Not the masses who maim My mind and meticulously aim For the mark on my midbrain Just the men and wo-men who make do With musing about the mechanisms of Mother Earth and her miracles too Poetry is a gift Out with it to be at ease Especially for yourself May it help you find peace

St. Catharines light in the afternoon: lead oxide, pink white, dry mud shadows. They lay on her living room carpet and Anthony gloated over Milly Her cotton nightgown, her long back, and round shoulders: proof at last. "So this is gloating. It is better to gloat than to doubt. It took me a long time." Her clean faded quilt brought from the balcony rail: it Smells of clean laundry and cold air and the thrill of their power. He’s proud to be the lover of a heroine, And happy that he can see her this way.” Picnic kisses tasting of smoked oysters and beer. There were never friendly kisses of love before? "Milly, I love hearing how you defied the adults." He told Hansel and Gretel to her child, who had strep throat, And told it again, knowing it would work, Seeing the bookshelves, seeing her notebooks, Knowing that he would have his life after all: The mispronounced words of a solitary reader, The red skirt on the chair, the gold necklace of coins.

Picnic Kisses Tasting of Smoked Oysters and Beer
Oh Darling, don't sanctify me as a higher being, your salvation out of your rut. the world is a green moist sponge, and I am just another dihydrogen oxide molecule trapped in it's fibers crying for salvation screaming for baptization waiting for nothing and although you think in binary terms. I think in decimal and yet we are the stigma of the guy and the gal in this dream of dreams. a heiress of confession I am here surreal and every single inch made out of stardust to remind you... Remember Montague and the frosted lake? where we built the blanketfort among the trees for the child and lit her world with dazzling LEDs, as she stared in the tent higher than fools talking nonsense words about the world and her feelings because she's so sad and because she's so mad because no one cares except her and her watering eyes. she says. I have no one. And you can't do anything about it, starwhale because that's the way I like it.

The Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Alone I sit in the dark, no light, no candle, not even a spark. Wondering where the time has gone, not even tired, can't even yawn. Feels like I've been up for weeks, tried all the sleeping techniques. Took some pills and counted sheep, but still I could not sleep. I live the life of an insomniac, some say I'm just a hypochondriac. Watching television shows that are boring, listening to my girlfriend loudly snoring. Even tried some anesthesia, that just left me with amnesia. For a day I forgot my name, when I remembered it was still the same. Even tried getting hypnotized, it didn't work but I improvised. Told him a story about getting molested, or maybe that's what he suggested. So here I lie in my bed, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead. Had a boxer punch me in the face, now I have a fat lip and a nose out of place. Tried some ****** so off I could doze, eyes wide open, but my body was froze. At this point I'd settle for a nap, I'm so wired I might just snap. Had a dentist give me some laughing gas, the nitric oxide knocked me on my *** Now I'm in a deep coma, as for the dentist, he lost his diploma.

Insomnia
You there, I see you with your sullen eyes looking down at your feet, your back hunched forward, turning away from the cacophony, the loud words they throw at you. The arrows they fire dig into your back, and you let it bleed. Your body a constellation of bruises. You laugh, a glass of wine in your hand. You call them beautiful, a beautiful mess. But, my dear, I see them every time you turn around. Trust me, your pain isn’t beautiful. It’s not meant to be. You’re good at hiding your hurt: you put it underneath patchwork blankets you wrap it like christmas presents and stack them on your bookshelf. You collect it. You save it old green bottles. You cut your pain into pieces and hang it up like art. Sometimes, however, you aren’t so subtle. I can hear the anger behind your singing, see how your fingers shake every time your cigarette touches your lips. I can feel your heartbeat rippling through you, as I’m sure you do, when I hold your hand, trying to steady it. And I wish, more than ever that I could make it better. Perhaps I can’t change things. I can’t change what has happened or what will. But don’t you dare think I’m going to let you rust away. Every time that layer of oxide forms on you, I will be right there to clean you up Until you don’t need me to anymore. Giving up on yourself is the easy way out and even though I’m lazy, I’m not going to let you take it. I will drag you through the mud, lift you when you think you can’t take another step. Through the dirt we will fight, like comrades on a battlefield. Both of us will emerge alive and victorious on the other side. I’m a good friend, I will help you lose those ten pounds But don’t for a second think I’m going to let you shrink yourself out of fear of taking up too much space. When the crowds hit you with their acidic words, I can’t promise that I can keep them all from hitting you but I will help you wash away the ones that do. Together, we can watch the words dissolve into water. And your pain with it. All of this, I can only do if you’re willing to let me. All I need to know, is that if I hold out my hand will you place yours in it?

Last time I checked blood was blue until it hits the air Monkey see Monkey do I'm just a lonesome primate like you Spinning on a pebble at the edge of a forgotten galaxy One day father taught me to make a fire Blowing air into the spark Oxide One day my father taught me where the throttle was And I tore up the dirt road that led to the house One day my father taught me where the trigger was He beat the fire out of me Until it raged a flame so fearsome no man could stop it When I was born he let them cut a piece of my **** off And branded me a first born son

*around here, you get to spot nitrous oxide ****** rifle bullet" capsules on the pavement everywhere you go.* during the day i get to turn alcohol into nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and to be frank, that's better than that jesus trick of turning water into wine... plus it's so rare seeing a fox (if you ever heard a fox's call in the night) during the day, so close you can only see it cross-eyed.

My minds lost I move to the bass I fall against the empty bodies They touch my skin I smile Laughter fills the cracks These magic balloons They have the power They set me free I hit whatever that is that they hand me I feel these chemicals soak into my toungue Everyone looks soo unreal I wont stop The music keeps playing So I keep dancing The melody flows Through my bloodstream Theyre all so happy I'm underground These are my people The room is filled with technicolors Nitrous oxide completes the air we breathe We can't stop I feel the soft lips of a random stranger In this moment I know her more than the closest person to myself I am unstoppable I am insane We clap We fall We close our eyes I wake up Safe and sound My head resting softly against my pillow The only thing to remember the magic Glitter plastered to my forehead My life.

Terminator X A cloud burst into life and rained down acid rain; The skin peeled from the bodies of those who couldn’t be saved. The future termination just waiting to send us to our graves, Means our destiny is already written and we cannot be saved. So call on Arnie to save or ruin the day, Here he comes in a rush to redeem or bring rage. Is he good, is he bad? Let’s write another sequel, Because we can’t get enough of this cyborg killing people. Terminator 1, Sarah Connor is forced to face death head on. This Terminator X is going to rip somebody’s face off And Terminator 2 saw Arnie as a Hero, For John Connor likes Guns ‘n’ Roses, look out here comes a truck. Terminator 3 the machines are on the rise again, The future is shown to us; it looks like humans live in pain. We are obsolete; the robots now rule the entire world. So let’s rebel and give ‘em Hell, one of Johns acolytes is a hot girl. So stab your blade shaped arm through a chest And hope you find the right Sarah Connor. Dead bodies litter the doorsteps of random nests; You know he won’t stop until he finds her. Get Arnie some new clothes to cover his nakedness, Use nitrogen oxide to put an end to this X-file government, Conspiracy of robots, they are here to end our lives; So crush their body and throw this terminator into the fire.

Sleep Izzz
I am an onion. Peel me. Cry, too, through the smiles and grief and tight resistance to vulnerability that are held out to you. Wonder at the resilient fragility of each syn-propanethial-S-oxide drowning layer. Let me **** forward and grab you, in my death. Hold our faces close, inhale your breath and roughly slip back. Gently husk away the dull layers of dermis and cradle the papery lairs that fall faster and faster as I relax rigor-less, into your arm, and fall and fall and fall apart.

I am an onion.
you're crying and as you walk down the dimly lit glass hallway the faces on the walls wave in your breeze of sadness and iron oxide tears. every surface in your mind is covered in a thick layer of concrete dust and you wonder how long before your nose takes a dive sneezing too often to breathe. there is clay everywhere and you can't see the cracks between your knuckles under the thick layer of thought. as far as art departments go you're not feeling so creative painted or charcoal it doesn't matter when there is more brown paper offered to you every time you believe you've failed. would you believe me if i told you that a newspaper and a pair of old blue eyes reminded me and maybe you too that there is somebody out there who actually cares. press that thumbtack into the wall slowly pin down everything you've tried to forget and avoid stabbing your finger into the perforated abused and continually rotated corkboard. you're not wirebound anymore i promise only your entwined metalic thoughts.
