"paniced" poems
I woke up
In a dark place
With four goats around me
Dancing.
The dance was demonic
Satanic
Hallucinogenic
Static.
They moved
Yet stayed in place
They sang demonic tunes
Yet did not open their mouth.
I paniced
Screamed
Shivered
and finally ran.
I kicked one
and it Unfolded
Exploded
Into butterflies.
The other goats burst and shaped
Defaced
Recombobulated
A man.
The man had a mask
of Clay
My fist felt the clay
The clay felt my fist.
The mask
Shattered
Corroded
Disintegrated.
I saw fear
I saw dismay
I saw dread
I saw me.
He spoke
"Pathetic"
"Disgusting"
"I'm you? How cliche?".
I shook
I saw crows
I burst to butterflies
The crows ate me.
I was on the floor
I overdosed
I ****** up
I should do this again.

It is time to change the way things are, scratch that smell from our noses, like **** in a bottle chucked out the window while going 90,
The free fall fogs up the glasses on a blushed face, 40oz till we down the sound of crying,
Lie across the ocean
Lie across the land
Send truth over and watch it slip through the cracks,
Breached news of frustration calls "Canada is coming, what the **** is America doing,"
We do our best to travel against all odds, piloting a spoon made of silver into a greedy pocket originally meant to feed those eating mud pie, baking in an ever dying sun as fish float up to the surface,
Choking down the salt water to avoid drill, give them a gun instead, it will protect our false memories and concocted purpose,
This was paid for by ink soaked bones working in minimum oxygen to the brain, featured on rolls of film stripping off clothes covered in lust,
Taking hold of a crowd with merely this voice, conducting an audience with bed knobs and broomsticks, rhythmically grinding the **** awry, taste this sun from the lips of a fairy, mystical or not we were there to receive,
Open our hearts via chaos trained messages, massaging back pains to the point of tears, electromagnetism therapy causing the lights around the dance floor to flicker, moving at incomprehensible speeds relating colors between points B to Z,
On numbered grids the scale is curved to fit the description of another one biting the dust,
And as we finally rest on cold stones the Panic sets in.

walkin down the street
an ole wino hangin on
to the bus stop sign
to keep from fallin down
"what a sight!"
i mutter to myself
then
"judge not that ye be not judged"
comes from somewheres else
so i ...up to him
"you o.k. .........bro?"
"no!...no...!!
i left my heart pills at home!
i got to get home!
just got out from surgery
only yesterday!"
"well now" says i to myself
i am a fool, such a fool"
but.......no cab in sight
and i in such paniced fear
we sit down on a bench
i take hold of his hand
like GROSS ELECTRICITY
his death comes shooting
right thru me
he and i are one
only one fate
i try to meditate
can hardly even breath
he and i are one
dying body complete
but then the feelings calm
the breathing starts to ease
i look into his eyes
he smiles back at me
"i.m ok now " he says
"a cab'll take me home"
"maybe" says i
"you shouldnt go alone"
he says
"i'm fine.....and by the by
thank you for my life"
finally.........i say
"DID THAT HAPPEN WHAT I THINK HAPPENED?"
"yep," he says
a cab comes....he waves and is gone
i turn and go wandering
down the street

Here I sit, with a long face
Waiting for your urgent call
You hung up on me, last time
Don't know what's wrong
A callback message pops-in
Your phone is out of reach
Fear grips me from within
The network seems at glitch
Finally, the door bell rings
And I rush to answer it
There you were, blank faced
Not wanting to rest and sit
You paniced as you talked
One of us was surely dead
In the past weeks accident
But I claimed alive instead
None of us wanted to believe
That we parted from each other
Both of us broke into tears
And I realised, I was another
I didn't survive the wrath
In his arms, I lay dead
A change of expression hit me hard
I left him helpless and sad
I would never wait for a call
As I am leaving your side forever
My death has created a wall
Please don't forget me, ever...

It was all so perfect,
There we went, driving along,
Around a glittering town on a september eve,
The city lights and the stars shine off the lake,
The wind blowing in my face,
As we cut through the country,
Laughing and talking, on and on,
Everything is so natural and soft,
Your hand brushes my arm,
A tickle that I have dearly missed,
Your skin is softer than silk,
And your scent wafts around my head,
There are crickets and frogs,
Singing their choruses of love,
The world around us seems to fade,
And we are alone in our space,
Effortlessly, I spill my soul to you,
You talk sense, and say what I need to hear,
Your words are gold and alabaster,
Soft, smooth, and elegant,
I sigh, as I let go of my stress,
"Finally.." I think to myself,
As I realise the weight I've been carrying,
And on the wind I hear a sound,
My eyes flash open wide,
As I realise whats happening,
I'm helpless to stop it or hang on,
The alarm in the distance grows,
You look at me as paniced as I must be,
"Wait, no, What's happening to me!"
Bits fade, and pieces disappear,
I hang my head but the tears can't come,
As my alarm gets louder and louder,
As I'm dragged back into this hell again,
... I roll over and punch the bed,
I HATE your beautiful memory.
