"smash" poems
I am no longer the Steady thrum of heartbeats When issues against women are Comically displayed on televisions. Like there's something to Laugh, guffaw, snicker, snort-- Tell you what, I can name a little Too many synonymous words And I can slap them all to your face, too. I am no longer a suppressed voice, Unable to tell you and all the other people That as a girl (and a woman, later), I have the right to be here. I have the same rights to life, To be alive, to be secure, To have a good life! And yet, you, who calls yourself a Man of power, tells me, "You are nothing." I am angry with the absurdity Of it all. Men continuing to abuse, Women constantly cowering down-- Why are you so intent on showing power When you are not God? Why are you so afraid of fighting For yourself? I am seething with rage For those who refuse to accept Feminism just for the reason That they do not want to be labeled-- Well, guess what? They have already Shoved you underneath Weak and Submissive. Who taught you that you are born To impress men? Who taught you that you only exist To please them? I will not have any of that **** I am a person of my own. I am a human being, with rights. And I AM FIGHTING to have The same rights as you do. Whoever told you that that's Never gonna happen, can shove it up Their ***** I will not sit still on my chair while The next police officer Asks "Well, what were you wearing?" To the next **** victim. You and I both know that is not The issue here. No girl should hung their head in shame That they got touched without consent. It's not their fault! No one Deserves to be ***** And no, it's not snuggling, for you who Even thought **** jokes on t-shirts Are funny. It's not. I am for Gender Equality. For both men and women, Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, To be treated with equal respect. With equal opportunities. With equality. With no judgment. Why must you counter that? Look, I've been sitting in that same chair For too long while issues spread and get Larger like the plague. I thought, let them handle it. I thought, a small voice would be of no help. But when did sitting down and staring Get people somewhere? When did any of passivity help us? We already have everything to lose So why not fight? Bruce Banner told the other avengers The secret of Hulk. And I tell you the same: Get angry. Smash inequality. I will always be right behind you.

it is funny, you will be dead some day. By you the mouth hair eyes,and i mean the unique and nervously obscene need;it’s funny. They will all be dead knead of lustfulhunched deeplytoplay lips and stare the gross fuzzy-pash —dead—and the dark gold delicately smash…. grass,and the stars,of my shoulder in stead. It is a funny,thing. And you will be and i and all the days and nights that matter knocked by sun moon jabbed ****** with ecstasy ….tremble (not knowing how much better than me will you like the rain’s face and the rich improbable hands of the Wind)

It Is Funny, You Will Be Dead Some Day
the history of melancholia includes all of us. me, I writhe in ***** sheets while staring at blue walls and nothing. I have gotten so used to melancholia that I greet it like an old friend. I will now do 15 minutes of grieving for the lost redhead, I tell the gods. I do it and feel quite bad quite sad, then I rise CLEANSED even though nothing is solved. that's what I get for kicking religion in the *** I should have kicked the redhead in the *** where her brains and her bread and butter are at ... but, no, I've felt sad about everything: the lost redhead was just another smash in a lifelong loss ... I listen to drums on the radio now and grin. there is something wrong with me besides melancholia.

Melancholia
They look out from the terrace. At the borders of sight live rocky hills behind brown and golden and olive crop under a cloudless sky. BANG! An artificial cloud. “Mira,” she points, “Venga!” They fly down stairs, diving like sparrows into the street. Boys sprint across pavements and climb; men vault over fences in time for news to reach ears. "¡Ya vienen!" Excitement and fear. The rattling of cow bells and galloping nears. Men bait and dodge horns and escape through doors and up and over red wooden bars. Sticks beat on the concrete ground and closer, louder, gallops sound. Seconds away – until the last, he side steps into a house; indoors, apart, he runs through the foyer and up the stairs around a corner with long strides too fast to follow. She chooses left and sings soprano when doors won't budge and        it                       crashes                                        in. She turns and the fear is paralysing. "FERMIN!" "FERMIN!" "FERMIN!" He hurdles the stairs and explodes but it rams her to and fro, thrashing her head against the wall where horns sin and gore cement and brick. He clasps the tail and heaves its hide from side to side as hooves smash crates of wine - they slip and slide in fractured glass; he finds a horn and yanks the head! He's yanked instead near dead before the men arrive down stairs to punch and kick it; strike and stick it smack and hit it; 'til it fits and quits and flees the foyer, fast and frantic, flying flustered by the frenzy, finally finding pattering paves it peters off down the street. "¿Que ha pasado?   ¿Quien ha sido?   ¡El Balbotin   y la Chicha!   ¡Que una vaca   les ha pillado!" "¿Estas bien?" Dizzy she's there with searching hands and scolding. "Podria haber sido peor"

Smash, slash, and if you're a noob you spam. Video Games the most interactive experience ever, it brings out the best and worst out of all of us. Combos and controls to study, instead of trying to study for an upcoming test. Some people say video games turns your brain into mush, but studies show that video games actually help people in the real world. Oh how I love video games they let me experience things outside can't, and even though movie versions of games aren't that good, I never usually get disappointed with sequels. Video games create more than fun times, they have also helped create my identity. So thank you video games for making me who I am.

Undulated Desires
death wants more death, and its webs are full: I remember my father's garage, how child-like I would brush the corpses of flies from the windows they thought were escape- their sticky, ugly, vibrant bodies shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass only to spin and flit in that second larger than hell or heaven onto the edge of the ledge, and then the spider from his dank hole nervous and exposed the puff of body swelling hanging there not really quite knowing, and then knowing- something sending it down its string, the wet web, toward the weak shield of buzzing, the pulsing; a last desperate moving hair-leg there against the glass there alive in the sun, spun in white; and almost like love: the closing over, the first hushed spider-sucking: filling its sack upon this thing that lived; crouching there upon its back drawing its certain blood as the world goes by outside and my temples scream and I hurl the broom against them: the spider dull with spider-anger still thinking of its prey and waving an amazed broken leg; the fly very still, a ***** speck stranded to straw; I shake the killer loose and he walks lame and peeved towards some dark corner but I intercept his dawdling his crawling like some broken hero, and the straws smash his legs now waving above his head and looking looking for the enemy and somewhat valiant, dying without apparent pain simply crawling backward piece by piece leaving nothing there until at last the red gut sack splashes its secrets, and I run child-like with God's anger a step behind, back to simple sunlight, wondering as the world goes by with curled smile if anyone else saw or sensed my crime

I remember when you were young and wide eyed excited at the possibility of the world and afraid because it was all so big and you, you were the smallest creature in a forest full of monsters still, you had big dreams and wanted so badly to write something so unique and profound something to make people understand you understand themselves see that we are all one know that we all bleed the same slippery shades of water color even if the canvas is is different Fear is an ugly thing and overshadows and overwhelms, ******* the life out of life and the colors out of the rainbow that is supposed to shine overhead and keep the bad the things at bay it crawls into bed with you at night and keeps you awake, drilling everything that is wrong straight through your skull and into your soul like a woodpecker, never ceasing never letting you rest there is so much that is so hard to comprehend and make sense of and it is so much easier to let the fear take hold of you, wrap it's fingers tightly around your neck a noose growing ever tighter, strangling while you struggle until you have no voice left to speak It left you choking out fragments and run-on sentences into a journal that no one would ever see that still makes me burn when I flip through those pages reliving the story of my life that you wrote all those years ago I remember when you thought that no one could see you, so you lived your life like a child jumping up to see over the counter, making make-shift ladders out of whatever you could find so that you could grasp everything that always seemed so far above your reach, losing yourself so easily in a sea of people because they were so big and you were nothing You words are a time capsule that bring me back to a place when when we stared at each other in the mirror and curled our tiny fingers into a fist wanting to smash the glass because we were ugly But my words are a time machine, my gift to you from the future You are small still, but the world is not as big as it used to be and nothing ever comes easy but your dreams are coming true, you did not give up despite believing so often that you would fail and you are making a difference I am afraid because everyone is afraid, but I stand in front of the mirror young and wide-eyed, excited about the possibility of the world and when I look at you now, I know that we are learning to love each other finally.

I walk into the mirror box again and it’s as if my life really is just an extension of my own metaphors. I’m caught in the mirror maze, searching for something in the mirrors at angles, but all I can see is myself, my sad, stupid self, stretching on and on forever with the same boring face, the same boring feelings, again and again until I stop being able to make out the details. Am I looking back at myself or am I looking forwards to the future? Will it always be the same or has it merely been the same since forever? I stare into the mirror tunnel at all these selves repeating themselves, forcing the years, the weeks, the days into the same strict patterns, merely following the self that came before them, merely mirroring the feelings, only doing it worse and worse with each new rendition. It’s just me, I think, *in the mirror box, caught up in myself because I am selfish and horrible.* I’m selfish and horrible and I want to turn my back on myself but how can I possibly do that in the mirror box? I meet myself over and over, and it’s just me, in all this vast, repetitive vagueness, just me in this long stretch of lonely unsettledness that surely doesn’t end. I want to smash my own face in, so I close my eyes and try to think, maybe, maybe, maybe, because I don’t want to be this grey-cloud self forever. I can’t be, and so maybe, just maybe, somewhere beyond all these selves there’ll be a day when I’m down on the shore and the sea will be calm and the sky will be faded purple. Love will not sink down into nothingness because in the cool evening air,  my heart will be full instead of gaping and my mind will be at ease instead dwelling on it’s own boringness or entangling itself in own self-created sadness. And maybe, I’ll have abandoned my book and its pages will be dry because I won’t have been crying into it. They’ll be no mirrors, just the ocean, glinting like an amethyst cluster in the half light and I’ll rest my head on the shoulder of the girlfriend I'll meet someday and I’ll smile in this beautiful liminal moment and nothing will be tainted by the dread of returning home. We’ll kiss – on the shore – and rewrite it forever and maybe the stars will fall out of the sky when I shake it and all my trains will run on time and all the wounds in the world will heal simultaneously. It’s a moment surely stolen from someone else’s poetry, but I’ve got to cling to something to avoid becoming lost entirely in all this dark, intangible vagueness. There’s got to be at least one imaginary moment that isn’t just me, reflected over and over. There’s got to be one moment that doesn’t stare back at me from inside the mirror box.

and so what’s beyond the last self I can see
I walk into the mirror box again and it’s as if my life really is just an extension of my own metaphors.

You see me suspended in space-time as I’m passing the 89th floor Falling headlong, my form is impressive. Sadly, no one will be holding up scores. Just moments ago I was standing at a Morton’s Fork in the road: The fires of hell were advancing where I stood on the 98th Floor. Well can you imagine my terror when I came face to face with the flames. I don’t know why I chose as I did; Souls in torment can never explain. The day of my death predetermined, but which death would provide me less pain?. My choice, which was no “choice” at all was to smash through the window and fall. Then the only thing that could “save” me was the camera that captured it all

The Falling Man, a poem of 9-11
Limbs littered the earth, her negligee no longer lay in his soldier’s world; he would do anything to smell her perfume once more. What day was it? Ahhh…Monday, the perfect first date, a moon- lit walk on a beach. He felt like a train about to crash and nobody was dancing. She felt alien alone in their home. Dancing was impossible and she stared at the photo, a soldier’s face, not his own. Limbo was a train journey that never ended. Billboards advertising perfume and the never ending sun, the never ending moon. The name of the days changed but Monday was no different from Tuesday or last Monday. She wondered if disabled people thought dancing ridiculous. He could return disabled…the moon was full tonight, she wondered if he in his soldier’s uniform would be admiring it remembering her perfume and not side stepping dead bodies feeling like a train wreck. How many poor driver’s of trains were haunted by suicides, faces looming out, the Monday blues? And some women will never afford perfume and would never be taken out dancing, it did not console her. She was one of thousands of soldier’s wives all gazing wistfully at the unhelpful moon. She dreams of werewolves howling at the moon, of him passing through a dark forest on a train coming back to her, having thrown his soldier’s gun, stamped in the mud, rejected. But she was the gun, Monday and no letter had come and her nerves were dancing, she knocked over her most expensive bottle of perfume. He was dead, she would never replace the perfume. She would smash bottles sticking her tongue out at the moon throwing herself around in life, dancing like a boat in a storm, occasionally consider suicide by train but she would never do it. Saturday, Sunday, Monday all days trooped past like the heavy march of a soldier. The word soldier stank of cheap perfume and everything was mundane especially the moon. People hurry her by like late trains, only a few whirl past dancing.

It still smells like human iron in your pool. There's a crack in the concrete where the bullet stopped. It still smells like human iron by the side of your pool, there's a stain. I still can't find where that bullet went. I always thought that your "love" of the higher life was overrated. Nobody ever talked about how great it is to be rich as much as you did. Even though you talked about it so quietly, most of the time. You spoke a lot about Daisies. I'm more of a Lillie type of person. There are a lot of people in New York, Gatsby. Too many people in New York. New York only needed you, Gatsby, but it looks like New York didn't want you anymore. That's not sad though, is it? Carraway's book is like gold.   I bookmarked eight of my favorite pages in it with yellow cigarettes.  I'm too afraid to smoke them. When your old mansion was bought I expected to see you as a ghost in it, you weren't there. That green light across the bay isn't there anymore, it's red now. I believe I'm sleeping in the same bedroom you once did. You aren't one of those ghosts that haunt a house, you haunt a human concept of want. I wish I'd never bought your house. I'm going to tear this place down.  Along with Nick's old place next door. The memories here in these empty, furniture filled rooms, are unbearable at best. Of course they're not my memories, but I'd be a familiar person to you if you knew me. I smash and break things, and then retreat back into my money and vast carelessness. Farewell Jay Gatsby.

-------------- Just bought a new back wheel For my tall and sturdy bike And riding back from a party I got hit by a big white truck I was cycling by the curb A truck came zooming up I had the space of a meter or more But quickly the space diminished Suddenly I felt it A crunching of the wheel I shouted in anglo-saxon Wehey! As I leapt from the speeding frame I fell into a running roll And stood straight up and turned around My bike was laying flat The back wheel sadly spinning. I wrung my hands and giggled And looked about in awe. The people that saw this happen Came up and shook their heads Are you alright? I cant believe what happened. I didn’t catch his number plate What a ******* crazy driver Are you sure you are alright? A gay irish man was there You uttured a cry he said And then flew from your bike Like a… like a… a ballerina I forced the wheel back into place So it was was sort of fit to roll The chain and gears were gnarled So I couldn’t exactly ride On the way two foreign drunks Looked and spoke about my bike Autobus smash, I said Ohhhhhh they said Finally arriving near finsbury A man who was cycling past Said do you need some help? I said yes please I got run over by a truck What I can do, said thomas from hungary Or what we can do Is take a length of chain out So at least you can get home Ok yes please I said And he bent down and used his little tools And got his hands all oily black And made me a fixed gear bike Now your bike is a fixie bike So im afraid you cant change the gears Like my fixie bike, he said Thanks hungarian dude

Already over the sea from her old spouse she comes, the blonde goddess whose frosty wheels bring day. Why do you hurry, Aurora? Hold off, so may the birds shed ritual blood each year for Memnon's shade. Now it's good to lie in my mistress's tender arms; if ever, now it's good to feel her near. Now drowsiness is richest, the morning air is cool, and birds sing shrilly from their tender throats. Why do you hurry, dreaded by men and dreaded by girls? Draw back your dewy reins with your crimson hand. The sailor marks the stars more clearly before you rise, not raoming aimlessly across the sea; the traveller, though weary, arises when you come, and the soldier sets his savage hand to arms; you're first to see the farmers wield their heavy hoes and to call slow oxen under the curving yoke; you rob boys of their sleep and give them over to schools, where tender hands must bear the savage switch; and you send reckless fools to pledge themselves in court, where they take ruinous losses through one word; the lawyer and the pleader take no delight in you, for each must rise and wrangle with new torts; and you ensure that women's chores are never done, calling the spinner's hands back to her wool. All this I'd bear; but who would bear that girls must rise at dawn, unless himself he has no girl? How many times I've wished Night would not yield to you, the stars not fade and flee before your face! How many times I've wished the wind would smash your wheels, your steeds would stumble on a cloud and fall! Jealous, why do you hurry? If your son is black, it's since his mother's heart is that same color. How I wish Tithonus could still tell tales of you: no goddess would be more disgraced in heaven. Since he is endless eons old, you rise and flee at dawn to the chariot the old man hates, but if some Cephalus were lying in your arms, you'd cry out, 'O run slowly, steeds of night! ' Why should this lover pay, if your husband withers with age? Was I the matchmaker who brought him to you? Remember how much sleep was given to her loved youth by Luna - and she's beautiful as you. The father of gods himself, to see you all the less, joined two nights into one for his desires. I'd finished my complaint. You could tell she'd heard: she blushed; and yet the day rose at its usual time.

They say Tiptoe through the tulips But where did they say Smash through The violets That are blue Like my heart Or the roses That are red Like the blood Pouring out. When did they say Make sure to crush The sunflowers Once golden Like my future But tiptoe Through the tulips Heavens forbid They come to harm.

Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Inside my brain There is a tornado Spinning to infinity and beyond. God only knows how fast. My shoulders ache and my feet cramp. My wrists click And my eyes go damp. Inside my brain instead is a monsoon: A tumultuous storm that rages on. Waves froth and smash, Beating against the backs of my eyeballs. Sometimes they find their way Down my soft spotted cheeks. My lashes float to the earth One by one by one by one. Would you collect them for me Like discarded flower petals Down the aisle of my soul's chapel And press them into a scrapbook Full of twisted memories? Inside my brain is an H2O tornado Like reckless rainstorm pirouettes. My swirling view is blurred, But every so often I catch a clear picture Of the glowing whites of your eyes And I remember to fill my lungs, Head above the water, And breathe. Twirl, twist. Wind, mist. But don't panic, Because every so often I catch a clear picture Of you.

You were so hot I spun twice to see, call me a fan Your regal youth made my blood boil, call you peter pan *You were like a boomerang I wanted to throw away but you kept* coming back to me, *And maybe I've always been scared of hurdles and you were my biggest one, 'cause I just can't* get over you, you see I thought you were like a paradox: Cool as ice and hot as molten rock You were like a magician with words, drove me so crazy I was pulling out my hare, You steal my heart like a pirate captain when I sea you standing there, But you didn’t have any morals, I deserve to call you whoreible Yet you still think you're cute. you know? leaving my house the way you came would be adooreble I discovered your texts to her on my birthday, the cake was ruined with my tiers You caught my Eye with your animal magnetism, but you’ve been a cheetah for years What? you think this is a game? No, you don't have a clue! You had a monopoly on my life and now your name is taboo You said you needed some time and space to yourself you were the only one in the galaxy I Wanted, I guess life never turns out how you planet and since you left I've been feeling haunted, Why did I believe you were a great catch? Just because you **master ***** You made me think we could smash; every second felt like a brawl Loving you was no gouda, though I swiss you now that you’re gone, it isn’t easy, I said goodbye, It’s not you it’s brie, sorry that was cheesy. You gave my life flavor but you were just a masked spyce that made my life sour like limes I know I need to chili but you have really bad taste and we’re out of thyme I need a holiday *from your lies, my patience is running short I’m better off with you gone, and leaving you is my last* resort I guess we didn't have that spark no need to be astunished, all I know now is: IT IS TIME YOU WERE PUNISHED.

It is time you were ***PUN***ished (Collaboration Spencer Craig and Ember Evanescent)

When you kiss me, I don't think you realise, but my lips turn into an explosion of electricity on your dead circuit board mouth. Let me revive you. Let me shock you into submission. Let me make your hair stand on end, your knees tremble. Either that, or just smash my bulb. My light flickers when I see you with somebody else, and what use is a dim light to anybody? Apart from the little extra illumination it shines on you. Maybe I could rewire you. Maybe I could flip a switch. Maybe I could turn on your lips and you could kiss me, kiss me, under a streetlamp. Maybe you could be my light in the dark. I think there's been a power cut. I can't see. My eyes are under a blanket of darkness, and your light has gone out. I guess I'll just have to switch on mine whilst you smoulder for another brighter, more beautiful light. Time to pull the plug.

stage dive
A slow walk up Centennial and I still can’t find the place it's menacing cold, and muted and the street sweeper and winter breeze move the Turkish blend and dust pack A novice mixed duet plays Brahms on broken strings the erhu and overcoat veiling a blue heeler and sphinx Maggianos is settled in the center block’s luminance and seasonal drape it's festive warmth bringing home Bedford Falls; the flavour and character and social circles Annie’s playing and the keeper's singing (his word pool and slander raising everyone in arms!) the crowd chants and mayhem breaks as crawlers and contemporaries smash their steins Dark alleys and dripping holes hold a grim reminder of the pierced underside paddies flutter and forge their words with a broad manifesto Night gardens come alive (slowly sapping the respite) hunched figures and ladies in lace shuffle inside the big orange door

The Orange Door
a dark place, dingy and cobwebbed: the forlorn basement below an unfinished house; there is no hope of an HGTV house-flip or a makeover or the sort of boring/heartwarming story where some nice white family —or conveniently diverse— sets up shop, smash-cuts through a renovation and gets their dream home. no, the house will remain gloomy, this basement filled with emptiness; no one desires to come through the door, no one except the tweakers and the vagabonds and the runaways, the ****** and the pimps, the celebrities and psychiatrists, the demons and the ghosts, the preachers and their seething congregations of judgmental ****** that live across the street, and the ***** teenagers hunting for a place to try out *** no cleaning crew or maid service or organize-your-life guru or even the most experienced of all the world’s janitors could enter this house and clean it or beautify this basement or disenfranchise the squatters within; the neighbors just try and demolish it every chance they get, to rid their sparkling, spotless community of this disgusting eyesore.

Office Window
Your stars glimmers Belching, wrenching Exposing my ethnic aura A tape of heavenly bliss The acoustic rhythm Essentially subliminal Satiably insatiable Tracked traces covered Your tree branching out Railing through my bark My bosoms blossoming Tip-toe to my bareness Your entirely arousing A summation of beauty A firefly to enlighten Encased within to liven A body I hold twinkles Whistle magnetic presence Sprinkle my mind to entwine Assign your soul peacefully A might, a light at sight A whole in me,a one in you Pluck, nip,smash,trap,stash In dreamscapes and reality

Spanking Melancholy
Pacing rapidly, doors slamming in the background. I can't find iPod...no - irritation is building up inside of me - it's about to erupt. Where is my iPod?? In a violent flash of outrage, I smash my earphone against the desk. Dropping down to the chair, and gazing out of the window, I'm suddenly thinking who is this hot-tempered person?
