Life Is Like
A Video Game
You Work Hard
You Earn
Something
And Unlock
Something
And Possibly
Become A Leader
One Day
But,
An Expert
Was Once
A Beginner
A Follower
Which Lead
Him To
Determination
Hard workmanship
Commitment
And Like
A Chain
He Could
Have Stayed There
In The Chains
But,
He Left His Demise
And Found A Key
Way Out Of
Death
Or Maybe Regret
~Paris Styron~

You May Have
A Script
But,
That Does Not
Mean You Know
How To Use
It
~Paris Styron~

Do Not Love
Me
Because My Love
Is A Star That
Will Always Be
Wished Upon
My Love Is So Strong
You Will Turn Into Stone
If You Were To
Break My Heart
That Star Will Turn
Into Scars
That Will Shine Alone
That You Will
Later Realize
You Wish You Had Me
And, Still
Would Wish Upon
That Star
~Paris Styron~

Pain Is
A Gain
Of Progress
~Paris Styron~

Humiliation
Is A Form Of
Unitity
In Ones Self
One Step Closer
Of A Human Being
~Paris Styron~

Let The Writing
Talk, And Your Thoughts
Express
Let The Tears
Run Down
Your Face
That Covered
Pain
Now Tears Drop
To The Floor
Behind Doors
That Whats
Keep The Floors
Crying
~Paris Styron~

Loneliness
Is A Tool
Which Can Turn Into
Solitude
Thus A Piece Of Mind
~Paris Styron~

Music Is A Thing
Trapped Inside
A Man World
~Paris Styron~

I Will Be A Scar
That Is A Star
In Your Eyes
You Will Wish Upon
~Paris Styron~

Night Of The Coolness
Moon Of The Light
Carry My Sadness Away
Everyday
Every Night
From This Day On
~Paris Styron~

Carry Your
Sorrows With
Kindness
Not Anger,
Rage
Not Slaughter
~Paris Styron~
Your
Always
The One
Who Held
My Pain
Deep Inside
Tamed It
As If It
Was Your Own
So It
Wouldn't **** Me
Inside
Your Heart
Knew My
Pain
Your Tears
Always
Carried
Your
And My
Sadness
Away  
Depression
Was Your Middle
Name
The Wolf's Eye
Was Always
Different
Was Always
The One
Who Knew
From Same
From Different
Never Could You
Be Another
Eye
Another
Star In
The Sky
Where
My Tears
Align
In The Sky
~Paris Styron~

Your Tears
Always,
Hanged
By Sorrows
Of The Night
Grief That
Always
Grief
That Fills
Your Day
With Fear
And Illusions
That I
Can
Never Unfold
~Paris Styron~

When You
Unfold
My Note
Of Pain
You Unfold
It
With Care
That Almost
No One
Can See
Where
No One Seemed
To Care
You Almost
Could Not
Bare
My Tears
Down My
Face
With
The
Undead
On The
Ground
Where Fear
And Death
Have No
Bounds
[~Paris Styron~]

Your
Blood Always
Spoke
To Mine
Always
Fear And
Death
Made You
Bleed  
Of Guilt
And Shame
You Always
Had Pain
That Would
Never
Go Away
Until
I Flew
With Your
Wings
I Noticed
They
Could Not
Fly
Without
Me
Without Hope
Without
Happiness
That Always
Lead
To Shame
And You
Died
Inside
Day By Day
Night By Night
Day By Night
You Always
Flew
In Despair
In Depression
Which Always
Kept
The Soil
Growing
And
The Graves
Crying
Your
Pain Is
My Command
I Am Used
To It
[~Paris Styron~]

The Walls
I Write
On Always
People
Look Away
In Misbelief
In Mis' Of Shame
Bloodly Paws
Always Perfume
Your Thoughts
With Guilt
Of Laughter
Of Shame
That We Cannot
Wash Away
Our Pain
Tears Always
Hanged
Never Noticed
Always
Ignored
To Be
Insane
And Left
Out Of
The Pack
Because
Your Face
Is Black
Because
Your Face
Is Worn Out
And So
Are Your
Memories
Imprinted
Never Forgotten
In The Night
You Always
Howled My
Heart
Which People
Like Poison
Darts
Cut You Down
In The End
Darts
Makes Your
Blood Run
Stale
[~Paris Styron~]

Your Childhood
Broken
Away From Peace
From Happiness
From Joy
To Despair
To Pain
To Hopeless
To Hold In
That Shame
Never Could
You Be Sane
With Yourself
Again
[~Paris Styron~]

The Tears
Drops Fill Up
Their Glasses
Worn Out Places
Worn Out
Faces
Had An Early
Of The
Daily Races
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Your Heart
So Black
So Black
You Never
Wanted
Worn Out
Memories
Worn Out
Faces
Of Pain
Of Sorrows
Of Grief
That Always
Bleed Away
The Day  
And Bleed
Through
Happiness
And Joy
And Eats
You Away
Like Acid
It Paints
Its Name
Guilt
And Shame
You Must
Always
Be Alone
[~Paris Styron~]

Scars
Pass On
And Pain
Is The
Memory
That
Keeps
The Soul
Caring
Because
They Do Not
Want
That Scar
To Be
Another
One To Own
Their Love
One
And Be
A Hook
That Digs
Into
Their Souls
[~Paris Styron~]

Your Tears
Are Scars
That Cannot
Be
Ignored
Be
Silent
You Always
Have Stars
That
Speak Your
Name
Only One
Aligns
My Heart
My Soul
Always
Until
The End
[~Paris Styron~]

Everywhere
I Step
I Think Of
You
My Heart
Turns Into
Stone
When I See
You,
You Show Your
Delicate
Love
You Hold My
Pain
It Hangs
On A Wall
That Keeps
Me Sane
You Hold Me
Like A Child
To Keep
Me Young
Because Life
Is Too Short
For Grudges
For Stress
For Problems
The Only
Meaning In
Life
Is Love
~Paris Styron~
In The Snow
With Pawprints
Curled Up
In A Ball Of
Shame
Of Being The Strong
Of Being The Only
One Who
Shows My Difference
My Potential
Myself
I Do Not
Regret It
~Paris Styron~


I Hate
But I
Put A Steak
On The Table
With
Writing I
Turn Anger
Into Sympathy
I Turn
Cruelty
Into Kindness
I Turn Dead
Emotions Alive Again
~Paris Styron~


Pain On Paper
Is Like Reading
And Writing
Someone's Curse
They Had
In Their
Heart
~Paris Styron~

We All
Have Curse
Freedom
Is The
Gateway To Hell
According To The
Curse
~Paris Styron~

A Stable Curse
Stabilizes
Restrains
Chains
That Write
In Each Others
Names
That Where
Freedom Is
Chained
Therefore
Life
Is No Longer
Worth Living
A Voice
Of The Devil
Lingers
In Our Head
Not Our Heart
~Paris Styron~


Creativity
Is Reality
Is Our Soul
Of Our Creation
That Is
Written In Us
Somehow, Some
Way
That Makes Us
"Different"
We Are The Perfect
Of The Imperfection
~Paris Styron~
Crying
In The
Shadows
My Heart
Withers
Wilted
In
Shame
Of
My
Loneliness,
Trapped
Beneath
The Shackles
My
Heart
Rattled,
Hoping
To Find
Someone
Who
Finds
My
Pawprint
In
The
Black
Snow,
Who
Follows
Through
My
Mist
Of
Loneliness
Who
Sniffs
Who
Finds
Hope
For
Me
Emotionally
The
Honest
Ones
Who
Get
This
Message
The One
Who
Is
Honest
To
My
Face
~Paris Styron~

To
My Face
During
The
Black
Dark
Days,
Which
Leads
To
My
Tearful
Black
Tears,
Running
Somberly
Down
An Empty
Hole
Saying
"Where
Will I Go"
~Paris Styron~

My Dark
Sorrows
Grasp
My Hopes
And Dreams
Render
Them
Helpless
Tantalizing
My Emotions
With
Sorrows
And Disbelief
Perfuming
Me
With
Despair
That I
Cannot
Describe
But
With
Black
Bleeding
Tears
Running
Down
My
Face
~Paris Styron~

Sniping
One By One
The
Tones
Darkened
The Gray
Clouds,
Drooping
The Bodies
To The
Grave
The Bullets
Flying
To
Their
Victims
Precious
Light,
Farewell
My Friend
Your
Black
Rose
Diminished
In My
Heart
~Paris Styron~
~Farewell~

The Dove's
Heart
Woos
The Somberness
Of
One Soul
Leaving It
In
Ashes
Shriveled
From
Existence
Wooing
The
Woefulness,
Weeping
For
Its Victim
Dripping
Drooping
Filling
The Room
With
Puddles
Of Blood
~Paris Styron~

Her Heart
Rendered
Helpless
Between
Her
Tears
Weeping
For
Forgiveness,,
As Time
Passes
By Her
Eyes
And Her
Tears
Grow
Dimmer
Of
A Color
Known
As
Black
Then
Her Soul
Shattered
Into
A Grave
~Paris Styron~
I am Here
Finally Free
From Bleeding
From Depression
Only This Day
And This Moment
I Finally Get To See Life
For The First Time
~Paris Styron~

I Walk This Forest
Hearing The
Wind
Speaking To Me
It Is My
Friend
For Now
Which
Path In Life
Should I
Go So Many
Where Do They
Lead To Happiness,
Sadness,
Then Depression,
Where?
I Am Lost
In This Forest
Stuck Here
Mixed With Blood
With Tears
That Are Here
With Me
A Howl Nearby
I Hear
For Help
In The Mist
He Is In....
Pain
Just As I Am
I Am Not Alone
~Paris Styron~

Where
Your FootPrints
Go
I Go,
You Will Not
Leave My Sight
You Will
Not Be Slayed
Because
I Am A Shield
With Two PawPrints
Belong To Me
4 Belong To You
I Am A Loner
In Solitude
That Cannot Be Broken
I Am Sorry
I Will Not Stand With You
I Will Be
In My Arms Alone/Solitude
At Peace
~Paris Styron~

What To Think
Now
For Who I Am
From Which Footprints
To Be In
Am I Trying
Where Am I
Always Standing Here
What To Do
Where To Do
All I Need Is To
Keep Writing
Because Problems
Turn Into
A Work Of Art
Just As Depression
Does
~Paris Styron~

My Whole Life
Of Something To
"Help Me"
It Makes Me Forget
My Whole Life As
A Child
And
Now I Am Left Behind
I Believe
To Be On My Own
Now To Work
On Being Alone
Not Having People
To Help
I Grow Tire
Of Them
Giving Me Things
I Want
To Earn It
Now
No Longer
Just Take
~Paris Styron~

I Believe
People With
Easy Lifes
Have No Lifes
Most Don't
Have Hard Work
Habits
Just As I Do Not
Sadly
~Paris Styron~
You Are Like
Earth
Peaceful
Beauty To Look
At
Unlike The Sun
You Do Not Burn
My Eyes
But, You Do Burn
With Burning
Beauty Of
Passion
In My Eyes
All The Time
Where It Is Quiet
Where No One
Is Around
Because You Are
The Only One
That Understands Me
As My Tears
Fall
Beauty Rises
With A Heart
Like Life
It Is Worth
Living For  
~Paris Styron~

The Night
Of Hope
Has Arrived
Only You And I

The Night
You And I
Moon,

Through Nightmares
Through Tough Times
Which Are
Strong
Being Alone
In Solitude
~Paris Styron~

The Wolf
Journey
Is A Path
No One Takes
I Take It
In Solitude
In With Passion
For It Is Peace
That Brought Me
Here
From This Day To
Be Alone In
Solitude
With
Universe
In My Paws
As I Float
The Night
And Elevate
And
Float In The
Air
The Universe
Is With Me
~Paris Styron~

Calm Of The Moon
Of The Night
Where Black
And White
Is Your Light
A Scar
That Is A Scar
That Will
Be Never Forgotten
~Paris Styron~

Moon Of Tears
I Am Here
For You,
I Hear Your
Howl
Of Cries
Of The Innocent,
Evil
Lingers These
Lands,
Land Of The
Innocent
Being Slaughtered
Save Me
Moon Of Tears
For My Tears
Fall As Rain
Fall As Sorrows
Of The Innocent
~Paris Styron~
We Are Divided
By Love And Hate
We Love
We Are Hatred
We Are The
Saviors
They Are
The Destruction
Of The World
The World It
Seems Cannot
Be Saved
Only Few Can
Save This World
Of It Once
Born With:
Honesty And
Truth
~Paris Styron~

A Stain Covers
Your Heart
That Tells You
Apart
Fueled By The Hate
Fueled By The Innocent
Of Tears
Of The Innocent
With A Thorn
In His Heart
We Sleep Our Life
Away
~Paris Styron~

People Look
At The Wolf
They See Nothing
More Than A
Deviant Than
A Waste Of Time
Waste Of Space
Like A Plant
That Is The Only
Hope For Earth
To Live Again
They Throw Me
Away And Life
Away
~Paris Styron~

When I Write
I Am Never Wrong
Of What I Feel
~Paris Styron~

At Least I
Have A Person
With The Arms
Of A Heart
~Paris Styron~
Give
Me
Things
Made
Of Gold,
Not
Pennies,
Give
Me Words
That
Are
Like
Gold
That
Shine
Not With
Ego,
But
With
Humble
Utterness
Of
Untouched
Gold
That
Only
Few
Can
Touch
~Paris Styron~

Give
Me
Things
That
Not
Make
Me Happy
Giving
Will
Only
Make
More
Lonely,
The Only
Thing
Is
YOU
~Paris Styron~

I Am
A Wolf
Twinkling
Between
The
Stars
Sword
Held
High
In Life,
Slaying
Challenges
Through
Blood,
Trama
And
Gore,
Between
Each
Star
Is Hope
Of
Perspective,
"That Is
What Gold"
That IS
STARS
Reflecting
On
My
Sword
Of
Hope
Of Dreams
Between
The
Voices
Between
My
Eyes
I See
A Tunnel
Worth
Slumbering,
That
Is....
Family
~Paris Styron~

Give Me
A Moon
That
I Can
Sit,
Ponder,
With Someone
Before
The
Dawn
Arise
Give
Me
The Power
Of
Which
Is Called
Perspective
"The Almighty
Encrusted
Sword"

Why
Are
Some

Thrown
In

I'm very tired
And it's very late at night
My thoughts keep me up
It's getting harder to fight

I think about my failures
And everything I've done wrong
How I **** everything up
It's all a familiar song

My words are getting literal
I can't disguise my guilt
The hatred for myself
In every direction it's built

Well rhyming gets so hard
When I try to write my mind
Because I'm unable to find the words
That could shed light

Even without a rhyme or a rhythm I find it hard to articulate these dangerous thoughts I have. As many writers do, we have this sense of frustration because no combination of syllables can really portray the emptiness and sadness that lives in us. Styron called it "melancholia", but not even that will suffice.
Your Wings
Make Me Fly
And Cry
My Day
With Joy
Realizing That;
Life Is A Gift
From The Unknown
Of The Creator
We All Have
Wings
That Are Black
And
Ones That
Are White
You Must
Learn
From Them
Like A Bow And
Arrow
You Must
Learn
And Comprehend
The Day;
The Last Thing
Is To
Think
About Your
Day
Of What You
Have Done
To Learn
A Better
Tomorrow
~Paris Styron~

Your Wings
Carry
My Sadness
Away
And Bring
Tears
To My
Daring
Darling Eyes
Your Eyes
Hang
My Tears
With Yours
In My Wings
I Cherish
Those
Tears
Until The
End
Because Your
Tears
Will Never
Drop
The Same
As Another
Soul's
Tears
Would
Love
Until
The End
~Paris Styron~

When We
Love Someone
Our Tears
Mix With Sugar;
Of Happiness
And Joy
~Paris Styron~

As I
Take More
Pain
I Look
Into Your
Eyes
Of How
Your Soul
Really Is
~Paris Styron~
My Heart
Forever
Free
It Has
Been
A Decade
Since
The
Love
Of My
Life
Has
Been Lost
Forever
In The
Sea
With
The Seagulls
For Our
Goal
Is
To Fly
Survive
The
Waves
Of Life
I Walk
Alone
In
The Strings
Of
My Guitar
Plucking
Each
Note
Of
My Own
While
Solitude
Listens
Peace
Has
Found
Me
In
The Depths
Of Silence
~Paris Styron~

The
Moonlight
So
Bright,
Yet
So Far
Away
From
Grasp
Yet
So Close
To Our
Hearts
For It
Shines
In Our
Darkness
Letting
Us
Know
That
Hope
Is Here
In
This
Darkness
~Paris Styron~

This
Home
Forever
Flies
With
The
Seagulls,
Forever
Fly
And
Between
The
Shadows
Is Our
Hopes
And Dreams
Wish
Them
And Make
Them
Before
They
Diminish,
Fly
With
The
Stars
Before
Time
Ticks n'
Tocks
~Paris Styron~

Fly
Until
You Cannot
Fly
Nomore
You
Were
Given
The
Chance
To Fly
Use
It
My Friend
Fly
And
Survive

when they write about existence i just think of:
blinking out of every instance -
snapshots of life, vibrating to
a culmination of sounds
preserved in the Bermudas,
or simply the overhaul of νεως
anywhere with internet access
and twitter account...
existential arguments: each
and every insistence exaggerated
and later gagged on...
just like i think of theatre and poetry:
i think of theatre as poetry on
the menopause...
theatre is poetry on menopause,
the last remaining depth of continued life
having a chance in the Darwinian cold
of absentee hearts and economic cheese
graters with broken bows playing
out-of-tune violins...
when they write the word existence,
i can't take them seriously,
they later come up with the somehow
happy alternative of what's called life...
such sad happiness when blue in green
opens up so lazily like 5 a.m. on the
Camden High Street in winter,
when it's still Armageddon bleak black
of ghosts chasing shadows into a
revenge against the grave...
some say you never really turn 30 when you
haven't bought Miles' Trafalgar Sq.
prior, meaning you lost out on being 30 when
you turn 40, and so on and so forth
in that Zeno paradox of two steps forward,
three steps back...
yes, the Grecian augmentation of the w...
less sharpened edges...
but still a Oui oh you... then a flamingo flamenco
with the teasing all blues...
i don't know...
whenever they write existence seriously
to later want it to underpin life as such,
i take their serious offensive on creating a
membrane of cushion and powdering and repeat
their seriousness, leaving life aside to
do its method on all of us:
existence - out of every instance... based or
biased as out every instance, the pickled gherkin
perseverance, persistence (dictionary mode),
out of every instance... a slaughtered bull
for pagan sacrifice meaning: insistence;
thus ex- instant into re- instant
i.e., out of (every) instant into a repeated instant -
that which we all keep secret,
that speciality of ours we do solo to keep
the nerve, to keep the homage, like
some did toward Catalonia... but in our own
very special way... it's not such a big
foreboding word after all...
it's rather mandible when the scalpel hyphen
cuts it open... just words, such words
that allow such things to take place...
cut life open... well... you end up with strife...
and that's what it is...
but at least cutting up the word existence provides
a bed, a cushion, some covers...
perhaps because of its etymology bias...
life is hardly up there in the etymological arithmetic
times table... cut the word life open... and you
get no game of words, no play, just the end result:
strife... but i would hardly attach
too much seriousness with the word existence,
as i already said but haven't:
the Cartesian maxim is subjective... it personally
relates a man's translation of life as pleasurable
with a pleasurable experience of thought alongside it...
true to say: physical exertion didn't give him
the biblical presence of work - harder for the mind
to make a sandwich that isn't there than for
the body to make a sandwich that is there...
hence the revision of Descartes: not that he was wrong,
he fooled everyone with a subjective statement
like an artist might create a piece of work...
because aren't there people out there that
experience the joys of life, but not that of thought?
while there are also those who experience more
joy from mere thought than from life itself
that joy of probing someone into action?
there are equal numbers of each...
and so translating thought into being he revealed
to me how translating ex- into re-
we can attribute a variant (metaphysical)
interpretation of the nadir of Einstein's parabola,
since we're no longer dealing with Newton's vector...
translating ex- to therefore mean re-,
we seek to guide ourselves toward that one
instant where all passions are lost...
or to put it more bluntly... ever watch the non-thinking
side of this? no? are you sure?
to translate ex- to therefore mean re-, never seen it?
never heard of drug addicts?
as in my case... it's not the addiction per se,
it's what i do with it that's leveraging me
to continue... i could have succumbed to
william styron's darkness visible -
but you see... i write while intoxicated...
the relaxation technique works simultaneously with
a chance to stretch my legs, and do what
the devil would have said regardless:
i make word of idle hand that would have
lifted a hammer... fair enough to the devil...
the devil makes work of idle hands...
well, idle hands make the devil into a caressed cat
when the mind excuses itself from idleness
that the body assumes, to later turn into a poker match.

found in Styron's darkness visible... he survived auschwitz... but said adieu to life: by throwing himself down a flight of stairs.

millennial, generation y, huh?!
    also called the:
bearable heaviness of non-being...
   say: survivors of auschwitz,
and apart from Kundera,
i'm fudged into this stealth-culprit
     hangover...
   and when i speak the native tongue
i use double emphasis...
everything suddenly becomes italic...
    gówno... or ****... teutonic: gavron, ja,
ich habbe schtabbe ga ga, magpie on
              a licky-sticky schtaisse:
vroom bog-tie boom boom...
   everntually language is just that:
   magnifique sounds, mein herr,
    be that a cello i hear?
                      nada... mindlessly i too
  feigned a farting brigadier, farting into
       a brass horn: worth a gingerbread /
pumpernickle        marching rhythm.
yes, double emphasis in the native...
kosz (koš)... bin...
    trza błagać... błagać!
        o śmierć... beg for death...
             but hetman cossak said *smerc
... and it
sounded altogether better.
   a household argument,
   after prawn-pasta was cooked throughout
an afternoon of general bewilderment:
        a heap of pebbles makes more sense
than the Orion constelation...
              given the mathematical approach
to the situation, and subsequent mapping...
   because they really did drop a bomb on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
                and that's why 21st creativity
is trapped in a hamster's routine...
    karaoke is standard...
                         this insissting plagiaristic zeitgeist!
so i said: you really think you conquered
yapan?            jesus, je suis, zeus, yesus, jamaican
                              jah jah *** buck...
      rasta root mon, rasta root.
    battered and bruised...
               someohow this whole dating scene
passed me by...
                     and what happened to me aged
21... is strangely becoming the norm
                       of giving the circumstance:
  i can't remember being of any age, particular.
  the quicker argument would coincide with:
    give me a machinegun, and march me into
a Latvian forest...
                   because, right now, it's
a scenario of being coerced into donning a leash
   or more like a leech,
                         and an afternoon spent
pulverised by a pneumatic tsunami
                     of adverts... calling it a job done,
with a siberian brew: cow juice in
                       tea...
                     liquid werther's original.

Mateuš Conrad Oct 2016
i still think
                                           that literature's       "      "
is better assumed as
     mathematics'                             ~
or what's simply abbreviated
                                    ambiguity, sort of,
as apologetics for Heidegger is concerned -
     that there is moral ambiguity in the interpretation
  of Dasein as ecstasis about, e.g. the war in Syria:
    but is that a self-serving ecstasis for the fact per se
    or that other interpretation for concern, which
with the above mentioned notation is a lack of,
       as in for peace to resume as common sense
      and less of what's suitable away from the apathetic
route, and indeed the ecstasis to shout for forced peace
            rather than see it all as without your moral
judgement with you being no moral agent in the matters
     that themselves have to resolve, without your input.
- and it always comes like this, cute little things,
or how you can condense all the theories surrounding
the psychological trinity into superego,
or that verse by Philip Larkin
        that begins wonderfully:
they ******* up, your mum and dad
  (this be the verse) -
  and the two other bits and bobs,
the Gemini scalpels -
       depending on how you wish
to make incisions into thought (or
any other moral quality, for that matter) -
do you wish to be a surgeon,
your own man as it were, and with the ego
cut your own story?
        or perhaps you'd prefer a butcher
psychiatrist lob pork chops of you
    with his depersonalising id?
         after all, he will say:
the laws of the state demands you have
so sort of i.d. (identification credential);
only the rich, a Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany
could ever fit the programme of Herr Doktor,
         Ode Odi Oedipus            Olé!
Herr... auto-****** means i have enough
******* on my ******* that
a gentle rub of the ******* gets me all
hot & bothered and juiced up?
   after all, the maidens of Egypt have
to have theirs cut and endure docile mantras
of why, why, why.
    and please, Herr Doktor, when
will Latin actually die? they keep saying
Latin is dead, familiarly like Nietzsche's god
is dead... but Latin isn't remotely dead,
  the blimmin' alphabet is still here,
how do i know? well, d'uh, i'm using it...
you say id             i say es
   you say ego               i say self
(then you make a Frasier joke about elves)
       and we go on and on in
this cat               mouse              game,
it's all a matter of fashion,
      they all said the above Mr. N was a
great stylist, after all an aesthetician is,
   and now they blabber on as if talking
Gucci pooch'e - this is dead, that is dead,
it's a fashion industry: but less obvious,
more inclined in       what you talk about
than what        you wear.
             said,
   '            ', he said
     "        ", he thought he said,
                                 or the narrator said it for him,
                         or the narrator thought he said it
for him, when in fact he didn't say anything
    nor the fact that there was anyone to actually
  say anything at all -
                 kinda a Beckett Watt moment.
           the Watt waltz, and that truly is a mind
   ******; as i sometimes wish narration was
kept in the Irish / Polish standard of notation
- and off we went to the poll booths.
- aye, and we vetoed rather than voted.
who would have thought that two ****-heads would
make the unlikely politicised duo of escapees.
             akin to Ulysses - but i get the
picture, the hyphenated compound words not
yet approved to be actual compounds,
        cite the Oxford committee for doing
****** paperwork, or none at all to modernise
  the Anglo-Smackson.
      ****... in the real world this could be
called pimping - but here... mm hmm:
peacock exfoliation - and i know it, so it's less
smarty and cared about: just... done.
yes, it usually starts rigid, that bit about
    Latin not being dead is extremely rigid
in composition - it's a sore the size of a ****-steak
   on my forehead -
            as is my lack of desperate attempts
to applaud Delmore Schwartz attempt to bring
    Finnegans Wake (the pearl in the crown
of all things difficult) to the people and the swine...
            so he didn't think Ulysses was
difficult enough? jeeze! and this alone reads like
a modern aversion to how young people are
drawn into mutilating themselves -
                  rampant ids             less acknowledged
Larkin moments in discussion:
        or perhaps the opera of suburban happy-go-happy-do?
       kids without even the foggiest of
the lysergic acid of Hanna-Barbera
                        and the Loons -
                                the fun-go-to lunacies of
cartoon network 20th century 90s...
                                       and hell: when we actually
        lived in times of toy story toys;
                 these days i'm getting the impression
a girl is probably going to play with a ***** than
   a barbie - must be the pink and the blonde
                         matched by the how many? jokes
    in mouth as in look doppio standards of not getting it;
but of course, the many other stereotypes.
            well, us kids, back then,
                          ah...         nothing like that coming again.
       summary... in ref. to the title,
   it's next days shrapnel from the debauchery of
the previous night, or why i write drunk and sometimes
get lucky sobering up and do not indulge in the bottle
      and not write something, and end up not writing
something like William Styron's Darkness Visible,
    who also drank, but didn't write and drink,
                  drank on the sobering up note, like
this poem.
well, i figured, if i don't exploit the drinking
       as a sedative unwinding and be bashful
then, resolutely, the sobering up me is still making
  that blood wine:
                          and never did liquidating
   two kilograms of caster sugar in half a litre of water
             feel like handling mercury.

Others
Would Reject
Would Savage
For Any Purpose
To Only Help
Themselves
I Look Into
Your Pain
In Your Pain
In Your Eyes
It Freezes
My Soul
And My Heart,
My Tears
Always
Washes
Away Your
That Always
Makes Us
Closer
Love Until
The End
~Paris Styron~
Alone
                 I Roam
                 With
                 Me In
                 My Solitude
                 Life
                 Howling
                 Alone
                 In The
                 Woods
                 Pondering
                 Lurking
                 At The
                 Stars
                 Where
                 An Old
                 Soul
                 Lies:
                 In Line
                 With The
                 Stars
               ~Paris Styron~

— The End —
