Hey. I said I do to a sociopath. No winey snivel. No quibble. No **** BPD= Borderline personality disorder.=sweet insanity.= submerged insecurity = indian giver = lifelong victim=child manipulator. Slick as snot running below the radar. Now. Dropping pretty baggage Finding perspective. WOW. Amazing what can reside in a mid sized cranium. Disneyland in cog neat O.

Jumble Liar
A duality of elan vital, two people Spectres of emotion Intertwined by a fuselage of bruised skin & tendon Tissues become orbital, gushing towards grafts Helixes of snot, **** and lymph Boy & girl As they embrace the animating principle and eachother, they fuse A one piece tapestry adorned seamless with no hem, beginning or end Always was, always is Patiently turning to liquid as their being unzips Lying figures of runny makeup and genetic ***** Quintessence, a texture of synaptic potential Corpus Callosum An entirety of self, lost in imbued disintegration Theory of mind, looped & bound I will water the thought Roots envisaged in dystopian amygdala Piercing data packets with a frost-like intensity Forgetting our obsolescence moments ago A neuron dipped in nylon Theta waves and the non-euclidean crux of dissociation Ghosts in the machine, your macro god The sympathies of fractional distillation Digitised/assimilated unto the nanosphere Cold hands and brass backs galvanised in oscillated tears Commodified, sold out and bought Stretching, from purple, white and black slowly losing its colour, amorphous in shape brushed across a smudge, ambiguously chromatic Monetised flesh god An eternity bathed in starlight Cutting an incision in the sky to allow entropy Divided dimensions of energy Fleeting and intangible No longer a delirium of seperation All semantics become light As a rusted vehicle passes overhead And all the worlds questions fade out of existence Flutters of red tape and foregone growth of practice Sinew flayed, integrated towards information Our minds shared In circuits and resistors Photons and electrons We radiate

Can he cry Knowing the winds won’t stop Feeling his heart pulse achingly Listening to the sounds in the other stalls There are others crying with him He still can’t cry Can he cry Knowing the failures will stick like duck tape Felling his snot paint his sleeves white Hugging himself in his time of fright He still won’t cry Can he cry Knowing this is one out of too many Feeling the burden settle so heavily Breathing in timing to the tapping on his knee The tears won’t come out He can’t cry Knowing it’ll always be the same Feeling the drain on his psyche Listening to the silence in the other stalls He’s still the only one And the winds still won’t stop And the clouds will pass by

right now there are eleven empty containers of alcohol in my bedroom, but it's fine, i'm fine. i've been telling myself for more than a year that i wasn't going to write anymore sad ****** poems about you, but here we are. most days i'm sure i don't miss you, but then i listen to the wrong song, and before i know it - i'm screaming along to band of horses in the dark, stalking your twitter favorites, and somehow, i've managed to get snot on my forehead. yeah, nostalgia is an ******* but not all the memories sting. there was that one time we went to the movies and i slipped on some ice and fell flat on my *** i just sat there while you took a picture. but i'm glad we could laugh about it. i'm glad we were comfortable. in my head, we still are. in my head, we're oversized-goodwill-sweater comfortable. we aren't as comfortable in real life but i'm glad we still laugh. this is the part where i don't bring up the time you told me my laughter could cure your sadness, because i'm pretty sure i already put that in another poem, and it makes me really ******* sad. did i ever tell you i used to play guitar and piano? i loved them, but i never tried very hard. i wanted to be good without having to practice. i wanted to be good without having to practice. i wanna meet the girl you write about so i can ask her how she manages not to love you back. because i've tried everything & i am so tired. i forgot this wasn't supposed to be a sad poem. i'm not good at happy anyway, i never have been. but in your absence i've learned a lot about softness. so if i ever find myself back in your passenger seat, i won't correct you when you sing the wrong lyrics, i won't ask why when you take the long way home. i won't ask you why you don't have your seatbelt on, i'll just say a silent prayer and watch for signs that you might be about to swerve. right now there are eleven empty containers of alcohol in my bedroom, and i didn't find you at the bottom of a single one. - m.f.

Ban flu, Man flu. Aching head, Bleary eyes, Death lurking, In disguise, Under the bed, What a surprise, **** off Death, I’m going to rise. No I’m not, I flop down, Head cushioned, In eiderdown, In the curtains, Face of a clown, In medication, Senses drown. I’m not dying, I am in a state, Snot and phlegm, I ******* hate, No latent desire, To ********** No appetite, I’m losing weight! I’m getting better, Weak as a lamb, A hot toddy, A wee dram, Man flu is real, Not a sham, Getting better, The **** I am. The fifth day, What a-to-do, So had enough, Of feeling blue, Death lost, So go ***** Getting dressed, I am its true. Man flu, Ban flu. © Paul Chafer 2014

Bring out the pottery boy Mr A said bring it out front so the other boys can see your work I took out my clay pottery attempt to the front of class and stood there holding the pottery on a wooden tray Mr A gazed at me through his black framed Beatnik glasses his eyes like huge marbles what you call this huh boy? I looked at the hand rolled clay *** haven't called it anything yet I said thinking of a name he went stern eyed at me are we attempting wit as well as pottery? He said a mild titter from some boys in the class here he said in a raised voice like a failed actor here we have an example how not and I repeat NOT to make a *** the classroom went quiet I stared at my *** lopsided and brown like a rushed **** what were you attempting? Mr A asked whatever it was it most certainly was not a *** I said nothing I gazed at him in his snot green jumper and Beatnik beard and brown corduroy trousers and sandals I don't know why I bother with pupils like you boy he said waste of my time I stood looking passed him at Danny who was boss eyed and pulling a face I suppressed a smile and looked dull go back to your place and spare me the sad boy look so I returned to my desk with my *** leaning further east and placed it down gently as if it were some work of modern art Mr A then poked Eddie in the back and held up his *** which went in and out like armless model of Greek design worse Mr A said than mine.

You'll never believe that I am the secrets and you're the words Just like I don't want to believe I was the ball and you were the bat What am I even saying Why am I still writing These words don't feel the void in my chest Church says God bless But then talk down about you I can attest I'm drowning in myself The beast of my mind is consuming me How much is left I have no ambition to fight I'm weak and you'll never know how it feels to be me No matter how much you relate You won't know how much I feel it's in vain Depressing words to match feelings Dressed in a uniform Tears roll down my cheeks Snot dripping nose All, just leave me alone Yes I'm broken hearted because the crack was never sealed And although I act like a cold blooded murderer I'm the one dying I'm fading away You'll never believe that I am the secret and you're the words The ones I never heard I don't know myself Death is stuck in my head These words you're reading don't mean a thing Just another broken soul Probably nothing original Everyone feels pain These emotions are cliche Nothing, still got the same feeling

Snot Sniffer.
When my father was young he mowed lawns for money. He pushed a second-hand spinning blade in the hot Florida sun for spare change. With dull coins clanging in his pocket and crumpled bills in his palm, my father fought to escape home. To him, home was synonymous with scary southern suburbia, where late-night television  was replaced with screaming matches and loud fists. Angry eyes with children's cries. Barbecues bombarded with apologetic looks from neighbors. Pretending not to hear shatters and shouts of supposed 'baseball black eyes'. And so he pushed. Pushed the rusty lawn mower down strangers' yards, pushed away the sniggering snot-nosed kids calling him 'Spic', and pushed at his father's demons, crawling down his spine, whispering that he was no good. Years later he kept pushing Pushing Pushing Pushing towards whatever came next. Yet no matter how much he pushed, he was still the same boy with the lawn mower. Angry, mad, pushing violently ahead. The smoke of sanity is inhaled now, as my father's blood-shot eyes try to suppress the angry boy within. The residue of stolen innocence is not left unnoticed. A touch of tone on his once sunburnt neck and the man he has made instantly flushes away, leaving his father's demons. Calmer than before, a dying star, burning bright before collapse. Like a strong jaw, his father's anger is passed down to him, and I, his son, am now born with this seed of destruction. Smaller than before, but still seething. Constantly reminded, I sit in a leather chair surrounded by white walls in carefully controlled climate, plastic pen perched on my palm, I push. I'll keep pushing.

my poor ugly fat sister with her ugly fat body blotchy body and ginger ***** hair yells in terror futilely begging 'no more Daddy, please, no more blows' as my drunken old ******* of a stepfather lashes her wobbly *** mercilessly as he yells bible-inspired obscenities and hatred from the pulpit of his demented brain and I am powerless to intervene or else I know I shall be next and my many wounds from last week's thrashing are still so tender and unhealed so I sit and watch and gently ********** myself under the cover of the odourous blanket but things are taking a different turn this evening as I see dear old Daddy taking out his ugly **** and then ravish my sister's bloodstained body and this really is too much even for me to bear so whilst he is occupied with the edifying task in hand I reach for the rifle and taking aim I blow Daddy's **** off in filial love and then I come with a grunt into my snot-encrusted handkerchief       OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!

Revenge for My Fat Sister
Justin Bieber is no big deal I’m not even sure he is real. He started out as pretty decent Have you seen anything recent? He looks like a kid who is trying To join the gang but is only crying; Sitting on the sidelines sniffling. Dressed up in gang stuff and everything. Poor baby Justin, as rich as a king Isn’t quite satisfied owning everything Has to cover up his body with tattoos Like all the real-life gang members do. Wears a hat too big for him all sideways Plays in the sandbox where big kids play. Wants to look all gangster and rough But looking like a lesbian makes it tough. Poor Baby Biebs with his millions of fans Three pairs of underwear and baggy pants Grinning like he’s bashful, we know he’s not. Far too often he has proved himself a snot. Some of us were worried when he was a kid. We worried nobody was careful of what he did. So Baby Justin Bieber is a bit of a wreck Sort of like the words crawling up his neck. Justin Bieber makes the young girls scream. They don’t care he’s not the angel he seems. If only he would misbehave with them, they think. They’d let him act the fool, smoke and stink. Because, after all, when you’re a teen-aged star It doesn’t really matter just how fake you are. The thing is be to be fashionable the youthful way And let them get a glimpse of you every day.

Oh nose on my face, You empty my wastes. My snot filters through you, Into the chocolate fondue. I blow my snot rockets Into my mom's pockets. I keep myself in fashion, By blowing you with passion. I love you Honker

Ode to My Nose
I'm sitting in In-School-Suspension I flick their air with my tongue, And I can taste the tension And the humility Of the acts that got my fellow **** ups here One was in a fight, One was selling *** One caught with a knife, The other blew his snot, On the principal This room is as bland as bland can be Tanned walls and tall ceilings, That are impossible to reach I just can't shake the feeling, Of boredom taking over me This poem has no real purpose, I'm writing to pass the time, Only five more hours to go, Since it's half past nine Tick, tock, tick tock, Goes the clock, Tick, tock, tick, tock, There it goes again, the clock With it's ticking, And it's tocking It's driving me insane, Up the tanned walls to the high ceilings I can't shake the feeling, Of boredom taking over me

In School Suspension, a poem of my surroundings
This here poem is about a puppy, you need not know his name Only in that he is a puppy, you should know him all the same This here puppy had an awareness not unlike your own He knew he had to lick his ***** and hide his ****** bone This little puppy stumbled about, much like you once did Back when you were a dumb as **** snot faced little kid The puppy found his world confusing much like you still do But unlike you this puppy knows he hasn’t a ****** clue See here what this puppy knows, is that it’s ok to have no reason To call into doubt what you think you know, isn’t ******* treason This here puppy he figured out that his reality isn’t fixed In fact it’s incomplete, not done, any beliefs he had were nixed You could learn a lot from him, if you’d only stop a bit Put aside your petty wants, try thinking while you **** Wisdom and compassion you’ll see walk hand in hand Be considerate of your actions, keep your head out of the sand This puppy has no enemies and yet you have a million If you lived but ten more years, I bet you’ll have a billion Try being like the puppy, just appreciate what you’ve been given Sometimes it takes just a smile to see why life’s worth liven

The envelope was red, white and blue just like the flag Betsy Ross spent days with bleeding fingers over so many years ago. It was addressed to me from an unknown sender. I was giggly, jumpy. Who would write to me? I wasn’t important. Just a seventh grade nobody stuck in a sparkly purple wheelchair. Mom said I could join. She secretly wanted her outcast of a daughter to have a sense of normalcy during her last fading moments of childhood. I just wanted to have fun. I wasn’t ready to accept that I was different. I knew that I was. The stares told me so but I didn’t want to be. The letter said that I could represent my fine country as America’s National Teenager. Me? All I had to do was show my ability by competing in a scholarship pageant. You know, a beauty pageant except it wasn’t being called so because adults are trying to be sensitive to teenager’s feelings because we’re more likely to be sensitive, emotional and prone to disruptive and potentially harmful outbursts. The perks of being a wallflower. Teenagers, we know this. We’re also not stupid. I and every other girl who would participate knew this pageant was nothing more than a beauty pageant; a popularity contest. That didn’t keep us from dreaming of becoming rich and famous, stop the crying fits, hormones from raging or acting like drama wasn’t our life’s goal and college major. Four days in Southern Idaho and an eight-hour drive to and from gave me plenty of time to practice my talent, an essay. Even then, I knew I had no real physical attributes. Instead, I shoved my fears aside and wrote, rewrote and polished my essay on America until my parents, teachers, and friends repeatedly had to tell me “that’s enough already. You’ll do great.” I made friends, told stories, laughed until snot came out my nose and answered the ever cautious “What happened to make you look that way?” I had the time of my life. I knew I wasn’t going to win because let’s face it, I’m not pretty enough. And just as predicted, I left with “Most Inspirational” and cried ugly tears when I didn’t come home as America’s National Teenager. Looking back, I was a real American teenager. I don't need a pageant to tell me so.

Behind me and my daughter In line for the Ferris wheel Perhaps when you are older You will find breastfeeding Is the least nasty thing Your child will do Wait for the projectile ***** The diaper explosions Snot handed to you So kindly like a present Wait for the strangers to ask you "So when do you plan to get your body back?" My body never left It did the most badass thing Any body could ever do What have you done With the beautiful sharp mind and body God has given you? Used your eyes and words To judge other women Looked at your tummy in the mirror and thought "I should be skinnier." It is a shame, Women ought to stick together So I'm going to tell you now Your bodies are amazing Magical, you might say Life giving, you're **** right Do not judge me Say that my nursing toddler is nasty Look at her face, How can you be so cruel?

Dear Preteen Girls
Daar was g'n tyd vir bybelversies nie , want die brood van lewe was te duur En wie wil nou regtig wag om ring As die manne vir jou hoogliedere sing. Aan die begin was daar niks nie Maar hyt gepraat met sy hande En toe was daar lig en oh die gode Dit was goed! Dit was goed! Maar hy was aleen in n wereld met als En almal was sonder naam , toe hy sy laaste een gee en ek Deur bloed en been vir hom geskep is. Dit was goed, dit was goed En ek huil snot en trane van seer Maar die appel proe soet Of jy hom in die hemel of die hel hap... Jy is die fontein van lewe, Ek drink van jou en raak dors Vir meer as net een aand van sterrevolg. Mag ek dronk raak op jou wyn? Of is jy my een reeds voor!? En ek kan.nie kerk toe hol nie En die Bybel vloek my skel Want jou lyf voel soos die Hemel Maar Hy se jy is die Hel. Mag ek langs jou bed op kniee neersak En jou hand in myne neem?? Kom ons raak besope... Genoeg om liefdesliede vir mekaar te kreun. More bid ons om vergifnis En vergeet wat sonde is Tot die vlees te veel begeer En die lewenslig so bietjie blus. Dit is *** die liefde werk, Dis my lewe dié Die struikelblok wat my versmoor Van n vel religie.

Die vel religie
The best part of waking up is picking my nose and rolling all my gooey boogers up into one big ball, an amalgamation of snot and crust, then flicking it off and trying to get it to stick up on that one spot on the ceiling. Y'know, that one slightly darkened spot just above my *** stained desk downstairs in the back room? It's down there next to all those empty Jim Beam bottles, well I mean they're not empty anymore because I keep filling them up with **** But they used to be empty at one point, actually I guess they've been empty twice; once before the factory added the liquor and then again after I drank all the liquor but before I added the **** I digress, you get it. The ****** spot on the ceiling. Good morning. 🌞
