"presets" poems
Stake claim, enslave
Falling behind
A wake so odd
Cosmic, wretched truth
Will all compose
With repetition
Til all devolves
Equally wrong choices, with dire stakes
Options weighed, time again
Derived presets, and presupposition
Derivative motion, placed on this clean slate
And left for a lifetime
Of horrid substitutions

fall through the floor of the elevator,
held up by corkscrew works:
here it is quiet and
there is invisible fog and
the characters are dull replicas
save for the receptionist,
just a lonely purple and orange
painted singular eye,
and her assistant, the trace.
*when I've found someone
I feel even lonelier
to know how hollow they are,
just presets and language*
and there is
a terrible hole
in the vents,
or the attic,
where
everything leaches out
to the colourless
uncreated
nothing.

Stop your regrets
sadness, worry, your presets.
Look up. Reform your mind.
Today is a new time
full of possibility
a festival of fertility
plug in to grace
quicken your pace
to the next frontier
put it in high gear
leave the desert of despair
breathe in the brisk fresh air
arise, emerge and begin
to believe again.
Amen.

I need to get over you,
But life is cruel and pushes us together like boats
borne back ceaselessly into the past.
I need to get over you,
But guilt hits me like bullets.
I need to get over you,
But I already know you love New York and turf cuts and
caramel coated cherry stems.
I need to get over you,
But I look so cool
with American flags over
my eyes and, hey, we're finally seventeen.
I need to get over you,
But you changed two of those
presets just to not miss me.
And no one knows why anyone likes baseball
or falling in love
or stealing musky sweatshirts and
falling asleep.
I need to get over you,
but cops find us and we're out
past curfew
and "All we did was sit
close to each other, officer, I promise."
Just drinkn' & dreamin' the
longer I run.
I need to get over you,
But you're so warm and I'm so
cold and it just fits
together like it should.
And I can't help but laugh and make
a mess of myself.
But you change your mind so fast.
When will be the next time?
I need to get over you.

I can't use this cable it's a different color than all the other ones
No, uncle, really I can't use it
No, way more Can't than Won't and you know that
Please stop pretending like you've never met me before
You know I want to get this done too but we need another cloth-wrapped light brown cable
And no please don't mess with any of the presets on anything
Pony isn't here but can I take a message?
May your name feel like vaseline in the mouths of your enemies

Conflicts, conflicts, contradictions
Do you know what it's like to live with all of these presets
A destiny? Some type of fate? Being told to not be something
at such a young age, words of doubts clouding my brain
decisions made for me, because my mother was always in need
but I don't need, need, need ******* help, I just want to
save me be me

Hope and faith in one tiny feather
love and kindness to one big
existence to always love one
and other no matter who,
no matter why to love
to be kind, in the heart is
where this lingers true, true it
must be for others to feel it
from just one smile to help
others with out a reward
to be loyal with out needing
it back lacking the thoughts
to make one suffer to make one
release tears out of hate and envy
the mind is where this lingers for
others to feel this hatred from
just your presets live your life
rather to love then hate
to be happy than envy let
others feel your heart
then just your thoughts
