If you haven’t noticed this town is a very small place, And it makes me wonder about the type of people that live here. Now there is diversity of origin with every kind of race, But there’s a type of race that is starting to disappear. That race is an economic one called the working class, It is heavily getting replaced by what we normal folk call the wealthy. These people drive their shiny Mercedes like their whole life was a free pass, And they flaunt their money around to the point where it’s unhealthy. They buy their cookie cutter mansions up like they’re buying Taco Bell, Spending a million dollars on a house for four surely isn’t ridiculous. And maybe it wouldn’t be if the other 99% of America could do it as well, But we have a lack of money that makes us a bit more meticulous. We aren’t able to buy a new house or a new car just because we want to, And we sure as hell can’t afford a Porsche or a Corvette. Unlike you we have our sad little low paying jobs to do, Yes, I’m totally sure sitting in your office chair really makes you break a sweat. But the worst part of it all is these rich people will have a daughter or a son! And they’re gonna grow up to be just like their mother and father. It’ll be like watching a reality tv show rerun, They’ll be wasting the same money and being the same bother. My children will be working just to buy enough gas for their car, While these kids will ask mommy or daddy for a new watch or phone. But I guarantee you the working class kids will go twice as far, As the little rich kids who will grow up always expecting a loan.

I used to cook for her all the time. I wonder if she remembers. Can she? Ramen noodles and toast at 3:30 in the morning, churros at 8:15. Sometimes in the middle of the night she’d cat call my name and I’d always run to her wondering- Is she hurt? and then She better not have hurt herself. I knew better though after the first few times, yet I always went willingly enough through her open bedroom door because she wanted me to. But mostly chicken noodle soup on Sundays and rice and jambalaya on Wednesday. mmmmmmmmm.... Carminolas with a kick. Pop pop pop and her buttons would fly across the room and other times she’d be under the sheets, already ready to press my hands against her caramelized skin. And if we add a pinch of saffron, a dash a sumac, and a teaspoon full of ajwain she will taste like heaven and for those cherry lovers add a bit of mahlebi. But I remember. She tasted like homemade chocolate and marshmallows. Go make Mama something tasty. She’d say afterwards and send me from the warmth of her bed, a Saturday Night Live rerun echoing after me. I’d bring her dumplings and udon and watch her while she ate, wondering- Can she taste the arsenic?

Cooking For Carmelita
Running into yet another soft eyes and open lips Trying to magically feel something more than what exists Running into yet another guys arms that seem so genuine from afar He really likes me brought me my 3rd drink tonight He's tryna tap that... Intellectual portrait that I have painted of myself Running into yet another false hope of maybe this one is different He can't hurt me unless I allow him to penetrate parts that haven't been discussed This feels so right Running into yet another, "your the most special girl I've met" "wouldn't ever hurt you" line Just to be spoon fed leftovers from the previous drunken night Or the alcohol soaked on a pink moist thick tongue Running into yet another clear dream... (I can see clearer now the rain is gone) Love songs no longer play because he has taken me to a fantasy land from Saturdays night rerun of a previous session Picture perfect perfection precious pleasing. Please don't stop because maybe you have tuned in to the right channel Running into yet another guys lap saying I will dance for you and only you... And maybe him and only him. Because words have become so cliche and I no longer can count how many arms have squeezed me firmly but have released quicker. How many lips have accepted my open invitation to stay the night within How many eyes I have let pierce my soul but to no avail, they get what they want and dissolve. No satisfaction, no guaranteed refunds of that stuff he left with No mental pictures left of what ifs or possibilities of US being more than just lust A must of endless considerations and my ridiculous thoughts of actually Running into the same web of deceit deception. So many descriptions of how I ran away from myself and have been searching nonstop for the right sensation that can stop the temptations and erase the emptiness.

I look back at all the things that I've done, For a girl that i never won. All the trinkets that sparkled Under the moonlit sky. Accompanied by a silence As i waited for a reply. All the smiles i created, Just to see you elated For a moment That lasts forever in mine eyes. All the poems writ and read But never read. The longing for you to understand the words, Yet at the same time, not . And after all the sorrows, After all the pain, I'm still where I started. Standing in-front of a girl, Trying to make her smile.

Rerun
Rest these weary thoughts away The ones that knock The ones that stay The ones that lurk until it's night Creep and crawl until it's bright The sun, it shatters the reverie Of sleepless dreams that never flee They wait at bay, inching, itching Etching, scratching, clawing, stitching When at night and all alone They hit the ball, run it home Leaving bags under your eyes Thoughts annoy, like summer flies No sleep, again A rerun that will never end.

Insomnia
As fridge-rator to beer in the head between the ears adorned with flashy widgets with which to trap the hoes he hopes that he can pull into his poles. His gravity whips wide so hands find and feel up erthing that gots the tail, he wants to rail so hands out he walks and tilts to one side and back holding his glass. Two fingers limp around the rim, dipping his fingertips into the juice like he wants to dip into you, pinkies as he holds your head forcing you to **** like you want his come as much as he wants to come. Then when done zips up, runs out, ***** sayonara", switch rerun mode without emotion. He floatin. He floatin. He gloatin. Head on the couch back making tired, one eye open scoping everyone's glow as they move, when up he comes sittin in my face, spittin what he thinks I want him to say, I'm like, **** guy control that tongue, you spray like that always I'm afraid I won't take that wild **** as tool is to you as to yo ***** Right ******* ****** spittin harder in the lean up perhaps the lead up to fist flung to react. "Man you too loose, I gotta tell you, I've got just what you do." "Your uh ****** Man watch ya flavor of language, I got just enough ****** left to get hard and stomp you, heel first in boots bought to stomp, pre-emptive to deal with the bullwhip effect where first you droolin to **** me, then retract like a bowstring because my ***** resembles a **** "What you want, ***** You wan **** this **** for real?" (For real?) He floatin. He floatin. He floatin the room, he ghosting. Lick my lips, cept it's not a tongue. For this purpose it's strobe lights, in light show, and like snow, black and white between sheets of plastic TV screen on get settled into my flow, rip back and forth like prongs on a fork on your ******* blindfolded and scolded right angle, bent like an L-shape repenting for **** by taking the ****** flash cards, held up on headboards, trying to teach you metrics and standards lacking in you to tune you into the lifestream, no empathy and no tact to show, remember this hell well while you sail through life preying, I'm praying and making marks in meat coats. But he floatin. He floatin. He gloatin.

There are railroad tracks That run through my town And at night when I finally receive The silence I wished for during the day I can hear the faint whistle And hum against my bedroom windows I hear the whistle now. All my life I have heard the trains And I find beauty in the fact that even when I'm not listening, they are there The trains carrying coal, chemicals, lumber, and the better parts of my childhood As a child I loved the idea of the caboose Allowing any stretch of rail Any length of land To be your home Your bed And it was probably through this my wanderer spirit grew. All my life these trains meant something Escape But not without possibility of return I romanticized the long web of rails connecting all the land and Souls in the American night I have always loved such pieces of antiquity So in the latter years of my childhood in high school it's no suprise the love I had for Steinbeck, Sandburg, and Woody Guthrie I would lament to friends that the trains became too fast to hop, but I never tried I always sat back and watched Or listened on quiet nights Now my childhood has passed I am nearly 20 but wrapped in my head is the idea that the young boy who had train posters and pictures covering his walls was nothing but a stranger or a character in just another awful coming of age rerun But deep down that child turned to Ginsberg who wrote of boxcars boxcars boxcars And Kerouac who followed the long stretches of road to the western edge of America And it was through Kerouac I found Thomas Wolfe I feel I have Thomas Wolfe in my bones Thomas Wolfe who left home rejoicing train rides to the North Then realized he couldn't go home again Thomas Wolfe who never wrote a bad train scene Not all of Wolfe is in me Not the 1900s Southern prejudice Or the raving accusing of friends of great treasons, only to have to apologize the morning after But I can feel his need To write all I can To never take away To add add To never reduce because who tells Van Gogh "yes yer paintings alright but I need you to reduce the amount of stars by 30 and I expect it on my desk Monday" I won't take anything away from myself Only add So at nights When I hear the train whistle And soft rattling on my window Thomas Wolfe is with me And he loves the sound too

Perpetual sadness That's all this is Just a melancholy mind And a black soul Twisting together To create a darkness That envelops every Happy emotion I have Until they become Nothing more than Neutral, dull, nothingness I can't feel exitement My laughter is always forced My smile never stays My heart always breaks Perpetual sadness That's all my life has become A rerun Of nothingness

I’ve now seen this rerun some obscene sum. Gone, I’m off staring at the sun a tad too long. The part that focuses the fun was last seen wrong. Worn, like the cliches you so casually parade. Me? I got cataracts to the hate. I’m dodging them cats, while you’re stuck stalking their tracks. Once again I’m late, but this time I think I’ll stay. I could cut you with a blade of grass. I’m nice. Brigade both sides of The Crusades with a laugh. I’m tight. It’s all in the way you read the light, but sometimes that sun be too bright. Got drive though, won’t stop 'til they say DeadBeat can write.

A Twist of Liquor
when you love, you’re a country, pierced by daily border exchanged crossings, to your closest neighbor and though, one rerun~returns home by night, to your prior defining borderlines, somehow the externals of the container has had its internality's modified for the lines that prior defined have altered by passing the point of prior, now by thousands of tiny holes breaching the thickened protective lining, by love punches ‘n kisses of pinprick punctures the resistance, pulverized <> you are changed, new language combos spoken, embrace another with a bilingual tonguing, a real treat to entreat each other and that hyphen, that little tiny linear ~ punctuation mark is reflecting your creativity of a Singular Duality it is mark that speaks to a new U~no individuality, blended and connected somehow a duo of someone’s pulverized lines forms a single stronger chord first a puncture then a patching finally an adhesion pleasuring and a new working word: composite the opposite of opposite*

The Pulverized Line (the opposite)
you have entered the realm of life after separation. gone are the daisies she tucked behind your ears. it’s autumn now. you are getting older. your boots are heavy and your chest is heavier. you were given something gleaming, but it isn’t yours, anymore. you seethe in your own ache. this is your first silver october. the blushing leaves have gone greyscale, like an i love lucy rerun. they evoke a stab of grief between your lungs. you have to rewrite the story of your life now, go forward knowing that everything after will be somehow lesser than her. no person will reach into you the way she did. you are a lost girl. resignation is all you have left, resignation and streets bitter with dead leaves, streets where you run and shout a silent prayer of loss. but then: but then. you are reciting a poem for a room of people and your words belong to your body now. a deep glow has fallen over everything, right onto a girl you’ve only seen once before. front row. face open. taking in what you are saying, your retrospective sorrow, with a particular kind of attentiveness you have needed all along. everyone is listening, but she is hearing you. in that moment, when you are raw and earnest, you think that perhaps there’s something different about this one. how even when you are done, she still seems to be hearing all the words you cannot say. and then: and then. spring is thrusting its way out of cold dirt and you are twisting and breathing and this girl, this girl, she is one million ******* shades of red. all you can do is look at her without turning away, as if you could do such a thing even if you tried. maybe this is how rembrandt felt when painting night watch. full of thick, rich burning too immense for language to hold. this girl, this girl in the midst of life after. this girl so good she’s put meaning back into the messy coming of spring. you have learned not to trust. not to believe. to love with a window open, a hand on the door, in case of incineration, ready to run. but this girl, says your heart, says the peachy light bleeding onto her lips and nose, this girl is not like those who came before her. you’ve been a stranger to yourself for so long, but this girl is reintroducing the two of you, rubbing you raw with longing. do you understand, you want to say to her, how stunning you are. standing there like that. in your sincerity and laughter, as it weren’t breath snatching to witness. as if it were commonplace, unexceptional. as if you weren’t the tenderest work of art. do you.

Synaptic explosion. Unigue and bright..burns and crosses the chasm. A new existence in the universe. Like a fistfull of ligtening. Never to be again. No rerun. A salmon upsream. A creative anchor. A fitfull dream. The stream washes both sides of the shore. Draws inward and onward and downward and more. Silt and bramble...a preamble A fistfull of lightening and nothing more.

High School Days
i  met a man who answer "i dont know" when watching rerun tapes of his  love kissing under mistletoe surrogate the times being drunk at home petrified as if he became a ghost cause these days find us when we track down truth not the processed kind capitalized behind a golden tooth i mean the genuine taste of something real Things untouched, kissed and sealed oh in this world its too pure to find one who holds such a beautiful mind with schizophrenic intellect words, colors and space combined all would then been seen clearly When i met this man who answered "i don't know" He was suiting up for his daily show staring at the screen wishing it was real pressing  play whispering "We meet again my needle  in a hey" But as the tape rolls to an end Reality never seems to bend So instead of searching for somthing real He waits till his love rewinds backwards on a  wheel.

Needle in the hey
We come at night because it’s the only time we are free and it’s the only vulnerable time the air is stale darkness tries to rectify this lack of light breathing into my blasting radio the only sound beyond is small and usual crickets and nocturnal things Spying into vacant windows from forgotten roadside they leave some lights on, most of them or the television relentlessly washing empty electronic colors over post-midnight rooms the shallow light sustains an outlandish stability like a sadistic pop culture nightlight On the yard junk cars and dead farm equipment sit out to rust just like the child obsessed with justice stifled The people here withdraw to sheltered houses they stare at screens so long they start to reflect their own blankness deciding what they see until every day’s a rerun I’d like to visit this place sleeping lying dormant in-between layers of dream and hybrids of unconsciousness enter homes through passive doors locate every lost, unwritten diary and read them all cover to cover would I love or hate them more

*speckled cityscape compulsion <> it is 6:40am. the ending credits roll on a Hannibal horror film that I’ve seen many times. but it’s just an old rerun, familiar deviltry, slept through it thankfully the kitchen window gives up a sunrise, but it’s just an old rerun, familiar deviltry, a streaking swath of burnt and bright, so oft described, the color commentary previously immortalized by better poets than me, easy found elsewhere. the speckled cityscape in this pre-awakened urbanity, it is their moment, these red flashes, all about, tall buildings chanting “stay away from me” to you sleepy pilots, looking for a strip to safely land in a tumbled jungled of obscene density. still, they highlight against a river of deep, bright oranges, burning surrounded by the most beauteous array of shades of blue, compelled against my will to thankful write, for gifts such as these cannot be so casually dismissed, cannot be willfully ignored, to do so, denies our genetic commandments. a hopeless, thankless task to ask of oneself. the perhaps intrusive. Sunday, maybe the babies will visit, macaroons, pre-halloween bags of candy bars, at the ready, pre-opened by small, tall inner children for sensory testing. Milk Duds, Heath Bars, Whopper malted ***** Hershey white chocolate, checked by adults for safety and quality control. all these I see, in realized eyes and whimsical musings, in perfect silence, for the Sunday city morning is worshiping the coming day in a church like silence, where each patron fills in the empty sounds with hymns of their own making...by moving their lips in fervent unspokeness the sky river reflects more modestly in the East River, for a reflection is always a second best version. 30 minutes later the real and the apparition both, disappeared, and a palest sheer blue, white streaked sky, just an old rerun, familiar deviltry. why is the sun rising is so worshipped, for there will never be a full day of just sunrise colorations, but the speckled reds still a true color, still showing, on perpetual guard duty, bidding adieu to its morning lovers, until tomorrow, in my city of lips. sun. oct. 20 2019

You Don't get a Rerun

I’m mugged by the perfection intersection of my eyes-scape, first coffee, the holy quietude, only the regular soft breaths beside, lend a counterpoint to these thoughts and the litany of chores the iCal happily, annoyingly,  prematurely but with certainty lists, resistance (Walk!) perfectly ok. ok not to move an inch, watching this daily movie rerun, that energizes hope, a contemporary localized contented without the humdrum of blaring headlines, talking heads, and the infiltration of the guilty unfulfilled responsibilities demanding a due, then heavens signal me, Donovan, earbud singing Colors, confirmed perfectly ok! “*Yellow is the color of my true love's hair In the mornin', when we rise In the mornin', when we rise That's the time, that's the time I love the best*”

There, beneath the ice. Frozen. An unready meal, unfit for consumption. A drowning dalek, malfunctioned. All intellect, no gumption. There, amongst the trees. Falling.   Too eager to please, all smiles and bended knees, platitudes float by on breeze. There, left in the rain. Forgotten. Torn head stitched back again - a pale plaster-cast of pain. Her mask descending down the drain.   There, amid the crowd. Brazen. Talking painfully too loud, arrogance veils like a shroud, inside, her head stays bowed. There, across the street. Timid. Hoping that we meet, shuffling feet on summer heat, Her broken heart won't beat. Here, an open road. Curious. A rerun or new episode? Traffic slowed, this time, we go.

We
Time Has changed its course Love’s no longer intermixed The feelings Are just not As in I bend Blended With a broken promise One With the lies I told Old news Like my ways You remain Unentertained Unhappily walking In the rain I used to Run through your mind Now I’m a rerun A worn out cliché This odd couple Was actually odd In it’s inaccurate Portrayal Of the oddities of love We Were a spark With no fuel Static Statistically speaking The odds of us Even meeting Is too rare For me to bear But the moment Fate forgot Was the moment That we met Now our Trials and tribulations Are a tribute To our attributes Our rude, brute force That broke the rules Of physics The night We made Love Without the chemistry To make it Bottled up our emotions As if we wished To save it Living Lie after lie Looking in Each others eyes We’ll appear To have a passion As long as our masks Are tied Cupid Our crooked archer Is to blame For our misconnection Our departure Won’t be in vain If we do it For the love of love And our disdain For a false passion Carried out In it’s name

The Odd Couple
My lens is myopic as the lunar lights reveal a replete and sallow stillness I close my eyes... stuck on her Our slow motion Zapruder film flesh hostilities play out They Lurch further toward me from the worst part of my mind This is an ante-meridium rerun wrought familiar Those slow motion frames serve as a reminder and I tell myself “not again” It’s always destroy, withdraw, withdrawal, return No thrill, no endgame, but we (i) play it out just the same Renewed, resolvent, arisen, (my) stake is wooden, (she is) wet, crimson lipped and collapsing Rest coldly now, unmoved upon a moribund midnight heart These Thoughts of her feed on me in the night. Images that prowl, project and play like celluloid wanting her I toss and turn, till, I lay, languishing, and losing lifeblood lost and dreading daybreak a living dead type of drained Forlorn Feelings brought back from damnation soulless and predatory This vampire lust won’t die. But still I doubt Nosferatu had an *** like her’s
