The Revolution Will Not Be a One-Time-Only YouTube Sensation
Did you know that if you leave your car in your driveway, With the keys in the ignition, And someone sits down in the front seat like they own it, and drives away, You are the one who is liable for theft? They can drive that sucker to the coast. They can burn the upholstery with their cigarettes. They can bring their friends into the back seat, and fill the compartments with their refuse, and **** and they can leave it ruined in front of your house, or crushed into the median on the highway, or left in disconnected pieces under an overpass. It will be called, “unauthorized use of a vehicle.” It will be called a “misdemeanor.” But you left the car running. Weren't you kind of asking for it to happen? They said, This, (Gesturing to the skirt which fell to two inches above my kneecap), Is like that. If I walk outside of my house in jeans and a t-shirt, or a long dress with thin straps, Or with my chin tilted out, Or with long eyelashes, Or with full lips, Or with my hips swaying when I walk, It's like I left the car running. It's like I invited them to force their bodies into the front seat. In their minds, or with their hands, or with their lips to anyone who would listen to them. Little girls in leotards become like unlocked car doors; Where men can burn their cigarettes into their skin, Or stick their fingers in In plain view of their parents, And told to let it happen, Quietly. It isn't theft, It's “a medical examination.” What did they expect? It isn't a theft. She was just as guilty of negligence. It isn't really a felony. It's not THAT BAD. (Stop being so dramatic.) It's the unauthorized use of your body, for a time, or one night, or every time you close your eyes for the rest of your life, Sure- But you left the car running.

A Living Finish (Sunday's newspapers come on Saturday - Part II)

Same old drudgery, Papers fresh for grading; Topics, seldom new, If honestly presented, At least encourage worth In form, in format, in tradition. Plagiarism creeps up, Always shocking, The unauthorized changing Of voice, of tone, of diction, Not unlike the sting of a ruthless needle, The drip of a hollowed, poisoned fang, The bite of frost, burning a tender cheek... Sadly familiar, this strident pang. All hope is lost. Anger sets in, Trust wilts, Hope fades gray. In plagiarism, the fool's truth lies; To belie one's honor is to watch it die.

Casting your nets
I envy you because you have both parents But you mistreat them I envy you because you were given a chance for education But you bunk classes just to smoke drugs I envy you because you have a roof over your head But you choose to throw unauthorized parties I envy you because you have something called a “room” And yet you’ve turned it into a *** lounge I envy you because you are fertile but you keep on taking abortions I envy you because you have a high ***** count But you mistreat your children I envy you because you always have food on your plate But then you complain on how it tastes bad and you throw it away I envy you because you have a grand mother Yet you say she lacks wisdom and is boring you with her endless fairytales I envy you because you have clothes Yet you complain and say you want ripped jeans and ripped t-shirts I envy you because you still have your face and it isn’t ruined But then you are busy destroying and covering it with makeup I envy you because you’ve got a chance to celebrate Christmas But you complain on how it always takes place at the same venue I envy you because you do not know life Yet you you walk around mocking people like you own the world I envy you because you are not me I WISH I HAD THE PRIVILEGES THAT YOU HAVE.

I ENVY YOU
A leaf, a leaf, how queer to think That trees discard their precious leaves. While people fear their thinning hair, A tree’s lifeblood glides through the air. A child awaits the coming fall, “The leaves, mommy, they’ve lost them all. I’m bald and bare, these trees are me.” In silent death, she grins with glee. A leaf, a leaf, how queer to think These trees release frond in a blink. A mindless shelling to the wind, The Trees of Winter, **** and trimmed. That child finds herself a friend; In naked bark, she can pretend A tree can shelter her from rain That showers down in forms of pain. A leaf, a leaf, how queer to think These children’s minds form paper links Like leaves that twirl through steady breeze. A little girl with brown eyes sees A future where tree branches sway In Barren Land, an air’s melee With wooden fingers shaking hard. A tree so scared to break in shards. A child’s dream is soon realized To be her life; unauthorized. “These trees, mommy, they shake like me. Why must strong leaves from these Trees leave?                 Why does my hair fall from my head?                 Did God make me so sick I shed?”

A leaf, a leaf
I stare at blank pages and laugh at our similarities Emptiness A blank slate could be something admired But what is paper really worth without some sort of marking Whether they be markings of seemingly irrelevance, marks give meaning But empty is a cup filled with nothingness My pages may be blank but they are not clean Them They each have left their marks just not with ink My book is mine but they have added in their part Marks, sure, I can hide at first glance But glances become stares when the story is intriguing enough In what appears disorganized damage, there is an order First She took my book in her hand without asking Skimming through the pages of unauthorized territory She leaves behind a crinkle on every page from her careless game But I suppose the book is my responsibility What might be worse, I handed the book to the next Second We wrote together the present and the future Forever leaving an ambivalent past I don’t know if she ripped pages out completely leaving a hole A gap where promises once were She may have simply removed the ink Magic A simple flick of the wrist and the words are faded How can a page filled with hidden words hold more emptiness I try to begin to write over these pseudo blank spaces But my body is crippled from what I see as I stare, and I laugh

I wonder if fire can burn so hot it turns white, And your heart begins transmutation, An involuntary, unauthorized transition, From something familiar, to something alien, And you are all together mystified. *You rely too much on the kindness Of those known to be unkind*.

Involuntary
it's like how can I start fresh if I can't erase hating everything I seem to create stray to think different but my soul is caged hidden under floorboards are the ideas I make but I feel calm and at home in the darkness feeling cold and lethargic but creating art with my fingertips alone with the hopes and the gods I illustrate pain in slow and graceful strokes tirelessly knitting an infinity scarf cooped up in a small room with my mouth sewn shut I lyrically piece together scraps of the thoughts inside my head to write an unauthorized version of me instead working steady without pause till the ink dries up words spilling out truths of my purest disgust I am the artist whose painting to begin with was fake I am the unrooted vine that grew despite its wilted fate

*There’s a famous town that does not exist It’s in new York state in the Catskills. It is name Agloe. It’s a paper town. Put on the map in an insignificant place. To protect the mapmakers in 1925 from copyright infringement By unauthorized reproduction of the map. I followed a map once all the way to a place that did not exist. I travelled slowly to it Mile by mile. I loved the thought of living there. I even fell in love with it. But it turned out to be a paper heart. Filling a space where the real heart Should be it had no feelings or love It was paper just to look like a heart to outsiders like me. So after all the tiring journey to find it. I found out It never existed. Just like Agloe On the old paper map. But Agloe never broke anyone’s real heart.*

A Paper Town Called Agloe
I sit in a burgundy leather chair at work Hoping that I don't get fired. But I tried downloading an unauthorized program onto my computer And a pop-up with the word ******** Flashed across the screen when I went to check the baseball scores. Maybe I will forsake this whole ******** life And run off into a hermitage Heaping ashes on myself, prostrated before a cheap wax statue. But on some level what I'm really doing Is avoiding responsibility. I'm dreading the drive home, to be honest Because I know you will greet me with that fiery anger That paradoxically gives me an ******** But also breaks my heart. Maybe I can just walk in the door ***** preemptively sealed in a yellowed Mason jar, And say, "Just stay right where you are, Steve." "We don't want any trouble..."

Earth is sleep in sound tonight Yet in the eyes of stars well up oceans of sadness The streets are filled with undenying yern to live The smells of blood courses the air In the young and old Not a silent completion Not a singal comfort in a drink nor a shot of ****** to behave lively Only death awaits in alleys Darkness falls in dead end roads The earth is sound in sleep tonight It tells stories of humen nature changing and exchanging gifts for the weak No child lay still in thier beds No mothers arms are full but empty with weary heartbreaks Fathers cry in rage of self pitty and drive to another rage to prison bars No glory here In the sound of night No hope nor will to dream but to **** the sun And all that is left are the stars that shed little light Still not giving up on these children who cry in the night. © Copyright 2013 S.T.

CHILDREN WHO CRY IN THE NIGHT:
And if smoking is suicide //in bite sized bits, I'm suicidal// Loving is heartbreak in little pieces// light as paper or heavy like boulders, so I'm broken hearted// Alcohol is consequences, a lack of judgment and mistakes in liquid form// so I'm thoughtless// pill are mixes of melding ideas// in calculated formulas// so I'm synthetic// and I ask, what off it?// causes hell is hell// and life is life// and I'm used to using// used to abusing// so I believe// I am above this//

Unauthorized Thoughts
He appears in the mirror behind me and lifts my hair as I brush my teeth. Kisses the back of my neck with a lingering brush of lips. I close my eyes tightly as I can, try not to flinch away from this unauthorized intimacy. And I don’t know when we reached this place where intimacy must be Authorized, stamped with approval, but here we are and my mind is screaming at the violation. My arms tense, eager to push away, resist, escape. I rinse my mouth and hastily slide right out under his arm before he pilfers a goodnight kiss. Everything is the same, every press of skin or lips or words but nothing feels soft and tender as before. We are entirely too close, breathing the same stale air of the apartment. I suddenly need the cold air and the familiar smoke in my lungs so I dart out the balcony doors. I inhale shakily and see all the dark windows of my neighbors. How can they sleep with the restlessness and the stifling air that I am sure permeates the entire city, hell, maybe the entire country. I don’t know, but I do know that I need a ******* cigarette, so I light one and set it between my lips.

Up in Smoke
Long before I noticed you, you selected me, and there you set in motion a star-crossed destiny. I miss so much the playful rhythm of our countless conversations, and the spark I felt each time we’d jinx a phrase, sans hesitations. I miss the sweetness of your voice, once ever-present in my mind, and now the recollection of that reassuring rapture I cannot find. * I see you; still, I see you: I see you sitting on the outskirts of my thoughts throughout the night, and your expression is unwavering: please give up this fight. Solitary moments bring me so much fear, as I know if I thought long enough, I would bring you near. Wrapping your everything around me as my gestalt, and rebuilding us piece by piece with not one fault. I realize, in peril, I could wish you back into my arms, for I secretaried all your nuances, your soul, your charms. What joy to spiral down and acquiesce to my obsession, and spin my life around a faux-world of a secret, strange transgression. Our dialogue would resume with near perfection, and would cultivate within me that lost affection. Boxed-up artifacts and memories would produce intoxication, but once unleashed would in time transmute to devastation. My neurons and synapses were shaped by every expression of your love, and it’s now impossible to undo a decade’s etchings and rise above. * Even as the months have s-kate-d by so quickly, I now realize that during our first innocent adventure together, Emily was prophesying to me: “I love you all, everything –I can’t look at everything hard enough.” In her death, she became aware… and now so am I.

There is a self-assurance when driving alone in a car, A broken leather bag tossed in the passenger seat, sunset at his back, Sweat pooling under his shirt at the valley below his chest; Earbuds pressed as far as they’ll go in Blocking out violent winds as he goes over a perfectly photographed bridge Fog rolling in over waves and through the painted orange beams of streetlights He is living in someone else’s fantasy: dressed to the nines, the eights, the sevens Counting down shirt buttons to the way his belt sits a little too loose around his hips, Black undershirt and unauthorized jeans smelling like stale convenience-store coffee And strange sanitized emotions that unkempt grocery stores bring to mind-- He is beaming and Expressing the love he has for this moment in the purest way he knows how. He doesn’t believe that it is a singularity, an expression of a single thing A tangle of words that knot into something unnervingly detached from What he knows how to wrap someone else in with trained fingers Under the guise of practice Love is something he has found is undefined He is not sure he believes in a staying love. It comes and goes as it pleases in the moment, It is the word he leaves reserved for the way yellow makes him feel; How he felt when he saw green as green as green could be through rose-tinted glasses; The steam rising from named coffee mugs, light streaming through windows; It is the word he felt when he fell asleep entangled in someone else’s arms and legs Socks kicked off at the ankles, And in the sudden realization that he wanted soup; In seeing painted purple pauses in thought scattered across his chest and shoulders; In moth wings and bee stings, in smiles and kissing curiosity It is an emotion he can’t take ownership of Rather, it is something that dunks him into a washing machine and Cleans him of the exhaustion that sinks into the minds of men who don’t cry Honey-colored bubbles rising from bent fingers and wide eyes Like jellyfish that don’t know any better than to pop when they reach the surface Of water below a perfectly photographed bridge.

There is a self-assurance when driving alone in a car, A broken leather bag tossed in the passenger seat, sunset at his back, Sweat pooling under his shirt at the valley below his chest; Earbuds pressed as far as they’ll go in Blocking out violent winds as he goes over a perfectly photographed bridge Fog rolling in over waves and through the painted orange beams of streetlights He is living in someone else’s fantasy: dressed to the nines, the eights, the sevens Counting down shirt buttons to the way his belt sits a little too loose around his hips, Black undershirt and unauthorized jeans smelling like stale convenience-store coffee And strange sanitized emotions that unkempt grocery stores bring to mind-- He is beaming and Expressing the love he has for this moment in the purest way he knows how. He doesn’t believe that it is a singularity, an expression of a single thing A tangle of words that knot into something unnervingly detached from What he knows how to wrap someone else in with trained fingers Under the guise of practice Love is something he has found is undefined He is not sure he believes in a staying love. It comes and goes as it pleases in the moment, It is the word he leaves reserved for the way yellow makes him feel; How he felt when he saw green as green as green could be through rose-tinted glasses; The steam rising from named coffee mugs, light streaming through windows; It is the word he felt when he fell asleep entangled in someone else’s arms and legs Socks kicked off at the ankles, And in the sudden realization that he wanted soup; In seeing painted purple pauses in thought scattered across his chest and shoulders; In moth wings and bee stings, in smiles and kissing curiosity It is an emotion he can’t take ownership of Rather, it is something that dunks him into a washing machine and Cleans him of the exhaustion that sinks into the minds of men who don’t cry Honey-colored bubbles rising from bent fingers and wide eyes Like jellyfish that don’t know any better than to pop when they reach the surface Of water below a perfectly photographed bridge.

SANCTIONED
And when one sins a little and falls into sin: He gurgles chocolates down his throat with unauthorized methods, giving one-person cakes the ultimate honor of such sublime and sublime passions as being in love! To become one: Flour, water, eggs with an immortal yet metaphorically changing dough body, mouth-watering, bohemian distillates, can be created for rebirth! - One can and feels conceived, the subtle, superstitious details do not yet form - only at the cost of hard work - the whole and thus the re-created Universe is sanctified: A bite of only tastes, smells, and thoughts - a redeeming noble task: To rename people into unity, a common wavelength, if possible! In the rumen of abundance in the furnace, on the wedding bed of flame-caves, the flame gave birth to millions: diligent yeasts again, they could recreate even man-made dough. How many uplifting and special miracles does it hold, and how many more can the waiting, the well-deserved fruit of our patience, unfold? And how the dough shape fills and swells: it resembles the condition of blessed mothers, while its waistline increases in a curved curvature, and it is exciting, as if only the Sun was caressing. You see, there will be plenty of good, and the dated universe will be carefully highlighted, with due maternal tact; be careful not to crack your existing cartilage, and they are dressed in a heavenly garment of sifting powdered sugar, which is falling like snow, and it sweetens as many tiny ***** of true pearls as the sieve sifts! "We're still waiting with a scurrying worried stomach." In the attic of our mouth, in the meantime, the charm and the fried bride were served directly to our table!
