"realer" poems
On the land molded by footsteps and ruled by obnoxiously bleached clowns, Visited by swarms of neighborhood guttersnipes and the opulent from uptown. Allured by the traditional Irish circus music and the grinding of rusted gears, To arrive at dawn and to leave only when the night sky is tired of fireworks and flares. Skittish and gleaming eyes would roll on the floor, struck by daze and lost in wonderment, At the marvel of giant steel rides and god forsaken and socially foretoken genetic mutants. The word of a woman with two faces and the boy with a tail would make any catholic priest run. Amusing the rational ones, alongside the man with elastic skin and the girl with the forked tongue. The opera lady with outlandish proportions and tumorous lips sings to break a piece of cheap glassware. Little do people know,that the magician’s red gloves are actually stained with blood of rabbit that disappeared. Their noses get caught in the medley of fragrances from the exotic perfumes shop, Blended with the saccharine tang from the stall that sells candy floss and soda pops. Indulging over the overly priced confectioneries at the stall of the baker with the forbidding grin. Try it a hundred times,try it a thousand,you’ll never get the fifth one right in the game of rings. People will come out screaming from the haunted house,only to laugh about it later, Little do they know,that skeletons that drove them pale and white couldn't get any realer. They’ll jostle and struggle to make their way through the crowd to various rides and attractions. Hustling to navigate through the maze the carnival is, encountered by countless illusions. And once your body wears out and senses give in,that’s when you've truly entered the carnival state of mind. Your ears stinging ,nose stifled,tongue baffled, eyes exhausted,and your sense of judgment blinded. That’s when my masked act begins,the most profitable act at the carnival, Diving into the heart of the crowd,to draw an act of brilliance lasting an ephemeral. Slithering across the crowd in a different disguise every hour,concealed by stealth. Sneaking into every nook and corner and slipping my furtive hands into your pockets for a little bit of wealth. Only to dine with the clowns and the carnival family at the haunted house at the end of the day. And of course, rabbits for dinner,if the baker may

Carnival
On the land molded by footsteps and ruled by obnoxiously bleached clowns, Visited by swarms of neighborhood guttersnipes and the opulent from uptown.

to hold a photograph in my hand   and believe what is presented,   take is at it already is – why not? if I close my mind’s shuttering eye, will you be as candid as before? unrestricted, unsorted from the hullaballoo, you, freer than what is imagined, closing in like a bullet from yesterday shot out of the sky’s contrived clearing – to hold a photograph in my hand and tug closer by the mouth of the fringe as if to pour water on a broken glass, slithering now, a shadow of moon at the very dull end of my cup; you are closer than any rehearsed moment ready to catch the inner canthus of the eye: this relentless picture-passing, tense and fervent, avid like bankiva to air, water to chrysanthemum: behind thick shrub of crepuscular, an arboreal locomotion shatters loose, your frantic figure. to hold a photograph in my hand and size it down to the dimensions of this home – there is potential in this comparison: flaring out like smoke from where it infinitely burns, I seek an ache and hence place a finger to shush, to hold this photograph in my hand and confabulate a soft blow to the gut and feel it realer than any dagger or berretta held at one’s life-edge: this delusory intimation, a slipshod work of feeling. to feel it rejoin me somewhere I ought to be back again.

To Hold A Photograph
Instead of foraging around making connections with cables and wireless systems that bluetooth and sync their way into our pocket technologies and portable screens (tablets of which we self-prescribe and regulate through overdose and comatose keenings of stillness and waking dreams) why, instead don’t we fool around making connections with others of like mind and brainwaves instead of radiowaves and the mastered minds of computer waves and lift an arm and really wave beyond our windows to real people in real time rather than peeping like a holographic Tom through tabs and browsing windows, multi-tasking time in a state of mime like it’s about to expire (like the wireless wires will break) and all that we’ll have is all we can physically take from this moment awake we call ‘life’ – a mistake. What else is left now in this vegetative one man one woman state where we live to close our eyes and shut our minds and wait for the modem-router to re-dial and get our avatar back online and our friends back into our multi-dimensional realer-than-time time? Pseudonyms solving identity changes emerge without birth with designer non-faces, as now that we no longer need imperfection or meaning or privacy or even perception we alter ourselves to impress our connections with whom we connect without really connecting by hiding as one almost nearing detection and tip-toeing straight past concern or reflection (invisible firewalls at our protection) our own walls around us with keys we can capslock, screening ourselves from unfriended friends, and playfully sated by charm and ‘pretends’ that will mean next to nothing when fantasy ends. Where ARE the connections we make in this digital age that we rarely turn off since the internet craze has become a new God that we dial to be saved as we sacrifice friends we once made face to face with those we are longing to meet as we race across networks with hunger and haste and with spambots and data and viruses made to detect and infect and reject, just for starters, and that’s not to mention the ads and the logins and passwords that lock us from somewhere far yonder that doesn’t exist as we grow ever fonder of pics and of pixels and texts of expression – the reality of which we could lose in a second.

Like stray dogs in suburbia we wander. We once knew a path in our distant dog-year past one our owners walked us down, dragging us nowhere fast. It was catholic school teachers, conformist preachers and all the other tame creatures who took us on our way. We walked on their time, to the beat of a drum our paws weren't made to pound. And we were dragged by a noose (otherwise known as a leash) but their language is not our language so while I called it what it is they called it keeping me safe. What the masters don't know is that sometimes they leave the wrong door open and a fence in the yard or a parental guilt trip feels about as big as a crack in the sidewalk to jump over when the street looks like a filthy paradise where things like loud are louder, fast is faster, scary, scarier, and reality, realer. Now we're never in any rush because anywhere and everywhere is home so simply staying in doesn't feel so bad. Routine is no longer in our vocabulary. Vocabulary is no longer in our collection of words and our collection of words is no longer so clean. We wander because ideas described to us as garbage taste better than the textbook kibbles-n-bits and even though it's not served hot or in a bowl with our names on it the fact that we found it ourselves feels better than having our tummies rubbed or making the grade. None of this is to say that the old house will never be home again. Doggy doors are always open and winters are always cold. So once I've had enough of life's streets teaching me more important things than rolling over or playing dead, things like knowing tricks don't always come with treats, we might just go back inside. And returning won't be our loss because we'll be walking back in with unclipped claws for the first time and with all our baby teeth and naive fears gone, we just might bite.

it was time to sow the seed, stitch the old me to the present me, and breathe, release all this anxiety, tension tightening the grip, strapped around my throat, around my hopes, the me I've missed, burn white candles, lay out my stones, rewrite the misery, untie the history, reach closer to the underbelly's guise, mystery, why I've lived through the eyes of others, flies, gnats, and dead meat, there is no me there, just blurred scribbles, hopes for sunshine, trying to be something realer

Let me tell you how you add to my invincibility. You let me be the realer me cuz you notice my invisibilities. Let me tell what I learned to see. That you were born for me. Your insecurities are a blur to me. And everybody got their own way of thinking. But our thoughts have their own way of linking. See your simple as an atom but just as complex. And our bodies connect without lust without *** You are my favorite question one I must have correct. The mind frame you possess is one I must have respect. You’re so fantastic always need for fascination. You've become my mental plague but ain't no need for vaccination. And she knows how to take all the stress from me. Cuz everyday single day she has *** with me. Mentally! Never intimidated by the groupie hoes, or the stupid hoes she to use to those. And though all the puzzle pieces don't guarantee I will complete it. She guarantees that I will strive for this achievement. The world is filled with rules and regulations But her love is my drug that keeps me under the sedation. And we don't have to together she can stay with him cuz he convo is better than lobster tail or steak and shrimp. She constantly adds to my life she'll be the one to bear my kids. I just can't wait till the day that I tell her who she is!

Completely Incomplete
Free Flying above the clouds Soaring above the Earth and through the stars. Past all of the known planets Those out of our galaxy The new planets I view The new and hotter suns I see Blaze more energies to fill the empty regions of my mind called "mystery." Fuel my spirit and make it run harder To new found inhabitants and their newer worlds. Astral planes of spirit that don't require a vessel or star ship to hold in or hold back the soul that travels as it's own transport Faster than any "law of physics" Realer than the factual brought in by third party satellites. I gather more and more brighter and true information Later to bring such forth in my grounded and non-traveling form Waiting to share my results to those who don't limit their beliefs to any said "rule" or "fenced in logic formula" I ride the waves to the calling gates of astral transport As my soul escapes my heavy and limited physical self Late in the night The recordings of fact stored in the logics of my soul Are vivid and ready to be replayed to share such gifts of learning to those eager to believe in it's payload and form.

Astral Space Ships
I know I am not really lying on the beach Eyes facing up towards the sky Where I really am is in Vienna In a small classroom filled with fourth graders Sitting in a circle in a room That was decorated in glow in the dark stars And a fake camp fire next to a cardboard cutout of a wolf I remember learning about the Oregon Trail And how cowboys would campout underneath stars Guns close by so other dangerous creators wouldn’t be And looking at the fake stars in that room I was in another world, a realer world Where the cosmos didn’t make stars Bullets did Silver bullets meant to hit werewolves Who were so compelled to howl at the moon They forwent the odds of being gunned down And so easily they could be when the moon Lit perfectly their silhouette Naked in plain view All the stars were silver bullets One that never met their target and flew Past the wolfs and up into the black sky Where they pierced the world’s barrio The bullet holes became not stars But un-mendable scars From men who wanting to mutilate The sky’s beauty with weapons There to remind me When the lights turned on in that classroom The glowing little stars melted into the white popcorn ceiling And as we, the fourth graders, disconnected our circle on the floor The reality of the origin of stars I had just come to know Never left me and the stars I see at night now Are not as real as the ones I saw that day.

Wow.. ****** been watching me, wow. Blowing my high. I get no replies. But my number one question is how. How does it feel? Now that you told. Shut the **** up. The ***** getting old. How do you know? What I be feeling. And what I should do. How about you don’t. How about you just get the **** off **** How about you read this and never forget. People aren't worthy of knowing my **** Now that I know, I won’t do it again. Feel like a sin. I'm all on my own. I wish that y’all would, just leave me alone. Trapped in my thoughts. They don't have a home. This is realer than raps. Realer than poems.

From Me to You
So many songs remind me of you that I can't listen to the radio anymore in fear that every song that comes on will sound like its pouring out of your mouth. My mother saw that all of my nails were chewed off. She had a sad look in her eyes. I guess it's because she knows I only do it when I'm sad. She never could figure out what it was I saw in you. No one could really. Maybe it’s because you always smelled like smoke and bit your lips until they bled.  But behind your green eyes I saw galaxies. I saw a place far away. I guess every time we kissed I ran a little farther from home. You were my escape from reality but now the pain is realer than ever. I guess what I'm saying is you shouldn't build homes out of people because bones break and hearts come spilling out and when they said you would ruin me, oh did they mean it.

If you were the gun, I pulled the trigger
*** i wish we could have made that word into friction, and droplets of ocean streaming off our bodies. i've always thought that maybe something could grow like a plant between us, plant its roots through our faces. i always imagined that one harsh summer, sweaty blanket night, after open mic, we'd run the streets barefoot, and you'd sing tom waits in your rusty voice, like a garden pail left out for a couple springs. and you'd take me somewhere frightening and strange, where i've never been, even though my feet roam this tiny town even when my eyes are sleeping. then i'd tell you that heaven is a foreign concept to me, and you'd whisper that there is nothing realer than this earth, and you would say it with passion, with a bite and a kick in it, like good hot sauce; your lips moving harsh and fast against my stretched neck, its skin begging for the weight of your kisses. and then we'd recite poetry with our bodies under a summer moon, like an empty plate, with august skin peeling off our bones, leaving us raw and intertwined, a knot of ferocious dreams, and thin crunchy book pages. words whispered loudly into the sweet sweat of the dark, your hands playing me like a violin my body singing with your touch. four cigarettes after; two for our mouths, and the others for our hungry hearts.

Nymphets like me grow up, and guess what? I am not any scared or scarred In a parallel world, Angela invited Lester to her wedding day and it's realer than death There's nothing to heal - no sight of old pain Am I really strong? I am not sorry - I am not hurt Even if I did break a few hearts This nymphet got a job and she dyed her hair She got to her destination - but she's not done yet! And I might have to leave all of those nymphet, stylish things no more daddies on the scene but my inner fire still burns deep let me resignify what I mean when I wear my heart shaped glasses when I feel all pink that's eternal, it has no age or anything It's true, I am not ******** anymore. Isn't that a whole lot more fun? I am a full woman now and I am not backing down (I always was this, waiting to come out) So I look in the mirror, and my inner nymphet eyes back, "you're doing fine, I am proud of who you are"

I have dreams about you On nights I wish I don't But I confess that I hope I could sleep longer Just so I could see you But I don't really pray for These to be any realer Because I can revisit you If I lose you in my dreams But not when I'm awake

Goodnight / Goodbye
I would travel the world Make hundreds of friends I would sing at the top of a tower With the lungs and voice of steel power I would dance on top of water Make my passion burn hotter I would trick the scales of fate Dissipate every mention of hate Be a creator of my own place Take reign of space I would lift my head I would lead the army of the dead Because I am more then a dreamer I make impossible realer

Once Upon A Time, Happily Ever After
Tony the Tiger can have his box. Full of sugar. I have my own sugar. Take that, Tony. Or should I say, Phony the Tiger Garfield go in a corner and eat your lasagna. I have a cane. No I'm not crippled. There is nothing wrong with my leg. How dare you say that. I have a candy cane! Not to eat with. No, no. My plan is much grander than that. I will use it as a weapon. See how its so sharp and pointy. Those who think it is not so sharp and pointy. Better keep their opinions to themselves. In other words, keep your mouth shut. Bow in the presence of the cane. The great cane. Held by the great soldier. Bow in the presence of a being greater than yourself. Me, **** in Boots. It goes with my outfit. Dressed to **** never became more realer. Than in my case. Its Christmas Time. Time for sleighing. Or slaying, as I would put it. My cane is worse than my claws. Santa better go to Pennsylvania to get all the coal Because he’s going to need it when I’m done.

The number 25 was marked along the front of my hand, between my thumb and index finger. It lowered each and every day. Its no tattoo, nothing that I wanted to be inprinted on my very skin. I wasn't your normal girl, I was more than that. People call me: Saint, Devil Worshipper, but you see, I'm not any of those things. I may have different things about me, that no one else has. But I am still human. I have a heartbeat, blood, a mind, and a soul just like the rest of you. I am no alien. You wouldn't be able to tell I was different just by looking at me. You'd say a friendly hi, and get taken back from the others. She is cursed. They would say to you. I do not get effected by the quiet whispers that are around me, tis is nothing new. They say the number on my hand is the days I've worked for the devil. The day I fell from heaven and hit rock bottom. The day I reached up from the ground and cursed this Earth. They have no clue what this number means. Would you like to know ? Every day the numbers go down.. 24 Waiting... 23 Waiting... 22 Waiting... 21 Anticipation... 20 Ignore the whispers... 19 Live like there is nothing wrong... 18 Enjoy being out in the sun... 17 Your fine... 16 Live on... 15 The crazy buzzing noise in your head... 14 Your hearts still beating... 13 Thee unlucky number... 12 Pace the room... 11 Bite your fingernails... 10 Whisper silently to yourself... 9 The world becomes to darken... 8 Your blood begans darken... 7 The air gets colder... 6 Your legs start to shake... 5 Your thoughts become realer... 4 Nervous of what is coming... 3 Don't forget to say goodbye... 2 Watch the number mold into your hand 1 I'm dead...

They have no clue what this number means. Would you like to know ? Every day the numbers go down.. 24 Waiting... 23 Waiting... 22 Waiting... 21 Anticipation... 20 Ignore the whispers... 19 Live like there is nothing wrong... 18 Enjoy being out in the sun... 17 Your fine... 16 Live on... 15 The crazy buzzing noise in your head... 14 Your hearts still beating... 13 Thee unlucky number... 12 Pace the room... 11 Bite your fingernails... 10 Whisper silently to yourself... 9 The world becomes to darken... 8 Your blood begans darken... 7 The air gets colder... 6 Your legs start to shake... 5 Your thoughts become realer... 4 Nervous of what is coming... 3 Don't forget to say goodbye... 2 Watch the number mold into your hand 1 I'm dead...

is the world real? clambering the wall, this inner turmoil. a sensuous solitaire of sorts my 10th beer reading 2 poems in the total, stark blackness: receiving me like a fresh fruit's glaze, the tumultuous hands of Ocampo Street. half-mad, half-believing there are already so many writers. there are so many Lang Leavs, a choir of Pablo Nerudas, a cacophony of Paolo Coelhos, (never have i met Geminos or Yusons Arcellanas Joaquins de Ungrias Sawis — always the realer form if not imagined only experienced through dumb senses still?) always their inner sense of self conjuring others giving back the same image like a prayer's way through lignin cross thumbing are the fingers small in rumination so many of them here and there is only less of me less of my voice less of my laughter less of my caprices less of my whims (more of my drunkenness trying to feign sobriety standing at the edge of the fringe, more of my poems here and there yet nobody grasping anything at all) i go home chasing the pattern of this cosmic solitaire.

Your creativity is showing me a spectrum of colors I myself had never seen, and though overwhelming, it's mesmerizing all the same. The shades of your voice are enough to get me lost in the art, the cool and warm tones of your words leave me wondering just what season it is. Similar to the Wisconsin weather I endure daily, so warm and embracing one moment, nearly as cold as the deadest of winter the next. You told me your worry about yourself because of how your mind works. That over the last two years, it has not mattered who we've seen, what we've endured, we always come back to this. And can I just say that I never thought I'd be in this kind of relationship. Late night phone calls and distanced "I love yous" followed by confessions I fear I'll never admit once the line goes dead. We always joked we'd marry when we were younger, but the reality of it is becoming realer than I'd ever imagined. Through it all, I just want you to know that I wouldn't mind getting lost in your voice one day. The spectrum you show me, almost as vast as the space between you and I. And yes, I really have thought about this- because I consider you my best friend And that's something no amount of distance will change.

Spectrum
I hate to break it to you but i miss you a lot Missing like my ability to get over you because people always say that there are many fish in the sea, but you see you are the only fish i will ever need, I swim for you like Nemo across the world. Although my feet may be tired and my legs sore you keep running in that treadmill that trumps my mind so i know that I'm going to keep on swimming just like Dorothy because i miss your face like hell I miss your laugh and smile I miss our long nights of talking because it was pure emotion. it wasn't squeezed out like the mustard packets we call our friends. it was realer than Real World it was so real that it felt like i was shot out of this world with a rocket on my back your words are rare but they aren't rusty like everyone else like that Anvil that is making me sink to the bottom of this ocean. I want to be like Dante and dive through hell even if my feet blister and bleed. because you give me a reason to keep on being me i know that no matter what i do you will always wont let me forget my roots you're like the grass that hugs my tree because without you I feel incomplete I miss you like a lot Can you please come back so I can kick up my blistered feet with you

I Miss you
I was aware that we were seventeen and how on earth could it all be so hazily perfect, but also how couldn’t it? I wanted to raise chickens with you. I wanted to drive a poemmobile cross-country just because. In these early moments: *We’re Shakespeare’s lovers standing up on Bambi’s legs, and always will be.* I knew we'd met too early, sometimes. If we were twenty-something and living in Bohemia when we collided at a jazz-bar drinking dusky whiskey. Then life would follow. I was scared that because we both needed something to latch onto so badly, there was delusion and we were too caught up in ourselves to see it; that my first love would flit away like everyone else’s. We were sitting cross-legged on the precipice of youth, you whispering in my ear that you hate haikus, when I decided that my first love was realer than any image of white washed sheets and yellow sunlit apartments that this fresh faced heart could concoct.   Eight months later when you broke it I realized I was right about everything because the thing about Shakespeare’s lovers is that they die young and Bambi’s legs collapse with knobby knees but the things they held up while they could were so ******* beautiful that nobody really cared. And we were so ******* beautiful, how could I possibly have expected that to last.
