"quicko" poems
somber bomber i like ducks
we dont love the gov it *****
(my friend erin said the ****
i did arrands rode the truck
the trip i flipped and made a sound
i skipped a bit and saw a hound
sorry pa he saw the mess
the current system likes to test
they see how fast and smart we are
so we can crash and part a car
there is no point to living now
maybe cause'
i was never
taught
how.

perilous are those decisions
you haven't yet made
afraid of the seed the tree
questions its own validity
inconsequential are those thirty minutes
before a decision
the wind moves the branches without
the tree's choice
forgiving are those moments
in bed asleep beyond not here
the tree can't spot failed saplings
without the daylight which lets them grow

what are you(or what you always once were)other than
the twirl in the string and the root under oak. the
math in the pattern and the mirror beyond the reflection.
i feel i know no other(beyond my sentiments
of you, dearest)and the blanket of your soft touch. your
warm breath melting the ice caps of my sorrows.
you are the legs shared by men and table; the
frame yet the paint; the brick and the roof(
protecting me from myself);and the cloud of the rains.
you are the flash before death, you(and only
you)are birth, you are the reflection, you are the pen
but most importantly you are you(and no one other).

once present,
the shadows of the not-so-forgotten
the shadow of me
we'll be used as images
to display suffering
as two animals, (nearly the same seen
from the outside)
they are tied together
arguing, like children
about why such a thing
such a painting
of my shadow on the wall
would happen
the phones will know, they will chat
speaking amongst each other
talking about the new
this and the new that
i ask what is happening
before i am next
my shadow on the wall
along with my peers
the fellow pupils
this reality is a
chorus of voices shouting at
each other saying the same things
when none of them
(if they knew the answer)
can voice the truth
as another will agree
and the next
diluting the first point
in an idea known as
disassociation.
my shadow will be on the wall
each square inch
a blot, from each round
which will enter me.
the voice of mine is just another
in a small chorus
stuck in a small room
all yelling amongst
one another.
at least i've accepted
my reality.

and i can't think of a more beautiful
moment, than when we connected; as
all moments that we shared before that
second, were lost in the dust.
the dust that rose from the road, as the
car drove off. it sailed high and dissolved
in the weight-less autumn air. the afternoon
sun filling the spaces in between the low clouds.
the dust which lay on his dresser, idle,
except when the gusts came through the vents, and
the cat pushed its head between the door and
the wall. or maybe, whenever that car returns.

does the tree really fall if no one saw the
cliche intro into the poem where
its self=awareness is not;
new(s) to anyone except those who
see the strange simbols and mispellyngs
.
did it really ;exists or swifts in this air
that movement of my poem. ending the re!
sentence right before the line
ends.(viceversaaswell). does art just
steal from the originality that life
lacks? or do our questions stem from
a false sense of identity in need ing to
b
e
o

so
deep.

i would like to (one
awake in a valley day)
so vast, its considered
the Guinness World
Record: Largest
Armory™, with all its
unsheathed blades
of grass.

between each breath, these
words hang
floating
like balloons in front of their eternal
background. rising up and up
until the pressure is too great. until
the break in your words is too great
and no phrase can pull them together. that
place by the tip of the troposphere, or
whenever you pause and lose track.
sometimes i regret talking too much, and
other times i wish i let go of the string.
