i'm really good at similes
comparing myself to things that are not me gives me a sense of good ego
and makes me feel like i'm not in my own skin
but i hate being similar to something
because all we wanna be is different, a bit out of the typical box
but somehow if we're compared to normal at least we have the mind state,
at least no one will exclude us

i've been abandoned
but what gives me comfort in the outcast
is english language slabbed on my paper and a slice of outkast at 12 am
we've all been taught in grade school that original is the way to go
the path of happiness
but consequences often go unmentioned and unnoticed

i've been normal, or at least compared
been a simile my whole life
"you're a lot like your brother you know"
i'd rather be excluded than have set up expectations from a man 6 feet under

i don't know where i'm going with this
a part of me wants to be excluded from the box
a part of me wants to have normality to lean on
a part of me loves being compared
i'll always been a good at similes
i'm the human embodiment of figure of speech
except i don't even want to talk
just keep on tak tak taking on this keyboard
hoping to find something similar
to self realization, self reflection
i only want the similarities to good feelings
because **** is all i've felt
i guess being almost there is better than never there
i'm a lot like myself
i'm undecided
Full of cliches,
My words are trapped---twisted
Around and under thick slabbed
Tongue that fumbles
Unconvinced of its syllables.

Smokethoughts cling
Sullen to enamel backs,
Graveyard angels
That smirk at those heavy
Tombstones;
Monument to language’s death.

Where is the beauty
that tiny creeping flower
it blossoms in the cracks
between the slabbed ugliness of this world

I'm a little bit scared in my mind
Seeing what will happen to me
How's it gonna be
Outta this world or packed in a box
I pick up my jacket and went outside for a smoke
The party next door is just too loud
I'm not invited since I have issues
House slabbed with tissues isn't my thing
But I just want silence
But they don't understand the way I am
And it seems to me that they don't care
Wondering where the mother and father are at, look what happens when they turn their back
Sometimes I hate to be bothered with children in the morning
But i think I'm crazy stressed out with these goals and my GPA, what can I say that won't get me into trouble
I'm just a little bit scared in my mind
Seeing what will happen to me
What do I need
How's it gonna be
Outta this world or packed in a box
I feel like there's a chain on my neck
I've attacked myself with these abusive thoughts
I feel like there's a chain on my neck
Help me out here

can we at least agree that what started
as a cartesian mind-body duality
complex, has suddenly become
a dichotomy, a ghetto for the mind
and a themepark for the body...
                      notably?
i still think it would be worthwhile
to look into producing gym electricity
by modifying treadmills
so that the hamsters could give back
something a field or an endless
        chess board of slabbed concrete
effortlessly provides.
It is true, its walls are heftier than I feel.
Its map appears when good self disappears
Away from the cosmos,
Than Einstein’s formula could reach.
Lighted up by Him who made it so.

Its track thereof, on the path of good deeds.
Gold slabbed roads starring the carpeted ground
And crystal streams snaking by healing trees.
The one who had gone before
was nailed before He could speak.

Lover of strange books,
Spoke thus in nasal flow:
'Tell me you babbler boy
Where does this lie lie,
Its geography and its scape?'

And the wise sayer spoke thus:
'Every night the eye’s shuttles are drawn short
For the mind to practice its end.
Then, distance between seconds,
He works in York and parades in Paris.

When the nights are dark and thick,
He knocks the memory still.
By moving through black holes
To unminuted meetings,
Returning in the mornings
To sit by sanctuary’s hope'.

That “you” in you knows his path
And by riddles describe his home.
When he is finally free,
He shall tell you where it be.
But this earthy ear may not be
To hear it in this realm.

of corn. Some pop
when it’s hot. Some jump
but don’t plump. Some lay

flat at the bottom. Those flat
didn’t have the grease. Some have
many creases as wrinkled up

sheets. Some are golden. And some
pale. Some are rotten exposed to
the air. Some undeveloped as
a miscarriage. Some buttered –

slabbed. Some we throw in
the trough to feed the pigs. Only save room
for the superlatives.

— The End —
