Have you ever dreamt of taking the plunge,
I'll tell you, every fire escape I see,
I can see my self jump off of,
I've wondered how it would feel,
Just for the blade to graze my wrists
The slightest bit of pain would,
More than likely end this,

This never ending depression,
That everyone's been building on,
Making me wonder if I even belong here,
Or if I should have died,
In my mothers careless arms,
Instead of moving on to a world,
That would only build me up,
To watch me tumble and fall,
And build these scars that lay on my arms,

Reminding me that I am no better than I make myself out to be,
No better than the foolish people around me,
No better than the one who created me
The one who to this day,
Believes she is okay,
Instead of facing reality,
And realizing that by hurting herself,
She's hurting me,

But oh, that's the *** calling the kettle black, now isn't it?
Because by hurting myself I'd be hurting her,
And everyone around me,
And I honestly don't want that you see,
The last thing I want is for people to be in pain, because of me,
No I'd rather it all get better, you see,
But no,
Because I'm the only one with such visions of happy endings and merry making.

Dawn produces light,
Dusk produces night,
Words dreamt come to life,
They cut like a knife,
You don't know all the pain I have to hide,
Tears sting my eyes,
Thinking about all the pain,
I've permanetly locked inside,
I really don't know what made me write this,
Something in my subconsious mind told me to.

Prepare the weapons they said.
For who though?
Which weapons do we prepare.
Pictures of deceased loved ones?
Drugs for recovering addicts?
Or the bombs
Guns
Knives
Tanks
Who exactly are we trying to ****?
We **** on a daily bases.
When will they say,
Put away the weapons
permanetly.
No more killing please.
The world is exhausted now.
So please,
Put away the weapons.

.                  told to buckle...
i like that phrase,
walk about
                 five miles
               and you receive
            a chance to buckle twice...
                  couple this
    with a vanguard
revision of
      the mea culpa:
           plea...
and... hey presto!
              your mind
          is permanetly
    lodged in the Taizé
       community...
              meaning,
yes, that mangum
opus that compliments
             reality...
was it ever in play?
i keep myself,
"shy", hermit,
     being licked by
       truth-bombs,
            reality increments
changing posits...
truth for me
            is the persistent
pedantry relating
grammar, to spelling,
             to...
   whatever the hell
remains at the bottom
         of a bottle of ***** /
ms. amber...
  strafbomber!
              yeah, that one...
by the time i sink
               my mind and
relegate my iq -
count, count,
count...
           does anyone
think that solving
a sudoku
is, a, bit,
   on the sly:
exploring
        hyper-geometry?
jonah...
     there, i've met
him at the end of
a bottle...
    i squinted my eyes:
he told me the name
of the whale
  that gulped-him-up...
and we became...
    converts to...
     the chop-sticks
method of eating
      chicken noodle soup...
  win-win...
   like that very public
psychotic breakdown
of charlie sheen...
    reconfigured
with news...
   oh...
             no wonder...
   he has h.i.v.,
                    go figure...
like this time round,
   i'll tell you is at the end
of gulping down...
what i've started
to call ***** ms. ice,
   whiskey ms. amber...
or
   whatever this...
sodium pentothal izz...

ah... salt, in alcohol...
liberated tongue in
    experimental
   staged dehydration...
quickened dehydration...
salt and alcohol...
or just about
what jesus came back
with, spending 40 days
and 40 nights in the desert...
             i get to perform
        in less than an hour...

yeah: would be floral patterns
in wahrheitsprechen...
any ******* pollack
is going to bounce against
german pillars
   when fiddling with
  the shrapnel of english...

english was never enough
in this, "experiment"...
i had to recede into
invoking some german,
some, rigid, architecture,
titillated by
   well ironed clothes
and well polished
         leather straps
worth a footprint (shoes)...

if i spoke a better part
of german,
  i would then have to move
to sveedish...
in the same manner
as the current knowledge
of english allows...

i.e. wahrheitsprechen
would become
      sanningtala...
and all the english words
     would be in german.

beyond that?
   no clue...
           this is as far
as i've been allowed.

i
i thought like a poem or
cartoon-lily-this is the basic plot
two characters-grumpy boots

and happy dog-one suffers
permanetly from dissastifaction
while the other-complaining

of what he has and what he
never had-(we see only his boots)
and his misanthrope -

while the other-his discontent
general and specific-while the other
his ranting endless-

while the other-***** in the street
usually diarrhea
and his smiling face-the end..

— The End —
