"vandalism" poems
The beauty of comatose can only be seen through the eyes of a wizard in a blizzard strutting in garlic slippers, or Christ with knees bent at the tabernacle peeling bananas and kicking prayers farther than eternity with each gapping second, or like Basquiat slumped back to the wall, with ounces of speedball dancing through his veins, eating 80’s free-based fried chicken *******   as his eyelids paints beautiful nightmares of lemon flowers and Bacchus bacon over a glycopyrrolate desert of flagrant cuckold buffoonery. Or like leprechauns burning chocolate ******* candles on the mantle of Zion, sipping oatmeal sprinkled with Staten Island malt liquor bacon. or like Tupac reading the thoughts of Mother Shipton through the daze of California cannabis and hearing the ominous voice of Plutarch sing death assignments from heaven to Assassins on horsebacks goggling ***** water to wet the dry bones of their throats as they prepare to fulfill the gospel of self-fulfilling prophecies of being fell by ***** bullets. Or like sophisticated wallets of spice and kitchen characters in a bald head cooking chemical kisses and 18 February nights under Moloch’s skin, where constitutions are written in charcoal diaries with Egyptian ciphers and razors. “I had rain sowed into the pockets of my sneakers and composed 1310 eulogies at the basement of king David’s tower,” said the Kraftwerkian caricature, as he dangles cigarettes in remembrance of Klaus Nomi and philosophizes on the proliferation of poetic vandalism at urinals where modernism failed under the phosphorescence of coloration at the avenue of no trees where Picasso's "Guernica" **** Lies All.

**** Bitter tears of pain, this anguish of my broken soul. Burning skin with scratches, pride that will never be whole. This unending nightmare of being surrounded by wolves. Devouring my flesh and innocence, piece by piece, part by part. Execrable faces changing like street lights, lecherous with sarcastic grin, oozing with saliva. That invidious stench of animalism, penetrating every pore. Noxious vandalism breaking every fiber and destroying the very core. Thrown on streets, like a soiled cloth, smeared with ***** and blood. Unconscious, unclothed, shattered with unending seizures and spasms. Wounds heals but scars remains, And whenever I will touch them I will relieve the pain. This question of being woman, I’ll ask again and again and again. They say hang’em, but it will Only be freedom from there hellish mind. Why not let them be among thousand men Who **** them, again and again. Sometimes we have to speak The language they understand. bold(Poem dedicated to the victim of **** in Delhi.)bold

I’m talking to you in my head been cultivating this shyness since I was three years old talking to inanimate objects painted smiles, rubber-skinned metal frames turning wheels the family minivan kept me company as mountains rose and fell like held breaths let go. playing games with pregnant raindrops rolling down the glass obsessed with the shark’s fin triangle the wipers could not reach. I’m obsessing over seeing you. always trying to be invisible your eyes beginning to skim past I, they didn’t used too. *“The voices that once spoke love but did not mean love.”* the withered rose living in the trash, abandoned friends in the attic forgotten songs unfinished books I am the forgotten I am the abandoned I am the left behind cobweb-and-cotton-dust-collector the silence connoisseur I wear loneliness like an unwashed favorite shirt If I die Will you read this? Does anyone else think such things or is Tonio Kroger my only brother? I am Kafka’s cockroach, everyone is waiting for me to die or to change into what you want me to be. my name will not be in the history books by the time my children’s children will have children I am no one. Everything fades in this world like whiteboard-marker on acetate lives. Desolate corners and garbage tell stories art is vandalism, vandalism is art. and people wear diamonds but they are worth nothing. and babies inherit their father’s eyes. I am not yours. You are not mine. Isn’t ownership objectification? If a man owns a clock does the clock own the man? Let’s be money and greed or greed and suffering. one cannot survive without… Let’s be the mismatched pyramids of wealth and population form a parallelogram like bricks on an unstable wall never falling down.

A Palette Of Heartache
0617 Gusto kong punuin ng letra ang bawat pader ng kwarto Yung tipong wala akong makikita na kahit maliit na espayo. Gusto kong guhitan pati ang sahig at kisame At dungisan ang salamin sa bintana Hanggang sa wala na akong masambit pa. Gusto kong kalimutan ang bawat mensahe na pilit **** pinapaalala Sa bawat sandaling sabi mo'y hindi kukupas ang mga naipinta. Ang makulay na pader ay pininturahan ko ng puti Ngunit ngayon, ang bawat salita ay wala nang halaga. At gaya ng pader na kulay puti, Wala akong makitang dahilan para balikan ka. Wala akong maaninag sa bintana na kahit katiting na pag-asa. Ayoko nang bumalik pa Kasi ilang beses na akong napuruhan. Sa isang iglap, nakalimutan ko ang mga salitang "mahal kita." Napuno ng masasakit na salita ang bawat pader Na kahit sa aking pagtingala Ay nananatili akong gising. At sa pagpadyak ko ng mga paa ko, Napuno ng bubog ang sahig na dating makintab. Nagdurugo ang aking mga talampakan At hindi ko maintindihan ba't ngayon lang ako nasaktan. At kung bakit pa ako pilit na bumabalik Sa alam ko namang madilim na silid-higaan. Inisa-isa kong tupiin ang mga damit sa lapag At pinuno ko ang aking maleta ng tanging mahahalaga lamang. Gusto kong bumawi sa sarili ko At ngayon, aalis na ako -- Hindi ka na mahalaga.

Really...? part 4
the baby is white guilt. is walking early. is outside picking stones to give to loved ones. Jesus is a moment of peace on a skateboard. the fish are five thousand isolated incidents. vandalism is vandalism. the numb hands of a child go rolling after crayons. this is you, beside a flower, in front of a mountain. your eyes are so big and the bread so quiet.

~ Sheltered within her cryochamber, the offspring of Armageddon dreams of play. She swims in an algal bloom that no longer stings like jellyfish. She floats on the surface of content, far removed from the synthetic sea and its plastic isles. She dwells in a bubble, but her mind hangs free as a halo, soaring with clouds. But these are not the skies that sense their own act of vandalism. This is the space and ceiling of a child's mind, in her capacity to absorb disturbance and rest her tiny, fragile hope in pretended, unclaimed worlds. ~

I suppose I could plead innocent to this crime, But that would be lying. After all, I knew exactly what I was doing Each and every time I took you apart, Ripping your self-esteem and sense of security down With every cruel word I threw at you, Like a game of darts with your heart as the target. You tell me that despite having broken up with me, You can’t possibly forget me because all your demons have my voice. I suppose you hoped that would spark remorse within me, And serve as some sort of proof that there’s evidence of what I’ve done. But darling, I don’t think you understand; That was my intention all along: To leave an imprint in your life. I’ve always been enamored by graffiti on public property. I suppose destroying you Was my way of imitating that; Leaving my mark on something that Wasn’t mine to begin with, nor to end with. If it’s any consolation, I’m not proud of the person I’ve become. But at this point I’m afraid It’s too late to try to change.

Confessions of a Smitten Criminal pt. 2: Vandalism
Don't compare me to another teen because I have my own individuality even if that contrasts to reality. They want us all to be the same, test us and want us to have the same grades but we all have our own brains different minds and in time no one will ask how our grades were in senior high. They tell us to be different but compares us to other kids I don't think this is fair because individually our minds can never be compared I am who I am and there will not be another like me I am unique like a precious jewel found in the sea. Artist say urban art is amazing but the graffiti on the side of building that actually shows a beautiful art technique with passion that shows the beauty in the streets is vandalism but scribbling on a paper is really creative what a shame to put down a kids dream and tell them there nothing but dirt in a desert plain. But at least when I become a man I can say I did it on my own plan but i don't think society doesn't understands I want to be my own individual.

Breaking things is vandalism, And vandals deserve a 6×9×12 cell, But what of sportspersons? They keep breaking records, Mostly someone else's records, And sometimes their own. Shouldn't they be jailed?

Vandals
Sometimes love comes in like a storm without warning, veiled as a vast ruin with good intentions entering your heart as an army with no ammunition; for nobody warned them about what kind of vandalism goes on behind the wall of thorns that time can conceive. Sometimes love goes down easy like the banana medicine you used to drink as a child, slowly but surely, the way you would feel wellness well up inside of you until all your self hatred evaporated from your heart with each sugary swallow. Sometimes love is discreet and strange, reminding you of days you crossed the street without looking and somehow did not get hit by anything other than your own stupidity, making it unable for you to decipher the difference between the outline of fate and the shadow of coincidence. Sometimes love appears out of nowhere on the most ordinary of days during the most ordinary of circumstances, meaning everything to you but nothing at all to the other person, similar to the way you can lay beside someone staring at the clouds on a clear day and see an angel with a crown of flowers beaming down on you, when to the other person it’s nothing but a ball of cotton, floating gently away. Sometimes love reawakens ancient longings, desires you used to have and never knew you had; memories you had forgotten and mornings that made you glad; causing tears of discovery at how enough you now know that you are, no matter what has happened, or how deep go your scars. Sometimes love is enough and sometimes it’s not, sometimes you’ll keep giving it to someone despite how clear it is that they just want to be left alone to rot; and although you can beg for them not to dig their own grave and declare their defeat, you know it’s as useless as throwing flowers at their feet but you continue to love and you continue to pray, for you more than anyone have seen what can emerge from the beauty of decay.

Sometimes love is discreet and strange, reminding you of days you crossed the street without looking and somehow did not get hit by anything other than your own stupidity, making it unable for you to decipher the difference between the outline of fate and the shadow of coincidence. Sometimes love appears out of nowhere on the most ordinary of days during the most ordinary of circumstances, meaning everything to you but nothing at all to the other person, similar to the way you can lay beside someone staring at the clouds on a clear day and see an angel with a crown of flowers beaming down on you, when to the other person it’s nothing but a ball of cotton, floating gently away. Sometimes love reawakens ancient longings, desires you used to have and never knew you had; memories you had forgotten and mornings that made you glad; causing tears of discovery at how enough you now know that you are, no matter what has happened, or how deep go your scars. Sometimes love is enough and sometimes it’s not, sometimes you’ll keep giving it to someone despite how clear it is that they just want to be left alone to rot; and although you can beg for them not to dig their own grave and declare their defeat, you know it’s as useless as throwing flowers at their feet but you continue to love and you continue to pray, for you more than anyone have seen what can emerge from the beauty of decay.

Some people: That's vandalism! Other people: That's art! Me: How the hell did they get up there?

*looks at graffiti on a bridge*
What do my memories taste like? There lies on my tongue— An atomic bomb: a purported speck, with no chicken pox skin situated upon such. I spat it out; I wobbled on and on, stomping the microscopic intensity into the sludge. No one sees; how pleasant… My shoe’s underside slit it— a paper cut broiled to the infinitude degree— Preposterous conundrum! Slam! I fulminate! I screech, the needy baby I am! My guttural heave strews in the wind: deformed limbs on the newer generations, an abysmal thread. Supposedly bland, but then: a guzzling bleed from you and I gushes on and on; but oh, was it needed! Listen to my writhing! Soak in my curdling roaring! I am the mafia mastermind, but I plead to guilt! The vandalism cannot be grated, but I will revamp, spot clean, and hunt for a vaccine. I cannot cure a scored scar, but rest assured: I will endeavor to solidify the clot.

What Do My Memories Taste Like?
I recall hearing that term once in high school, "Urban forestry", a paradox, seemingly and yet, That is exactly what it is. Strips of land sanction to be aesthetically pleasing. For whom, I have not a clue. I would have preferred a lane or so, Over the regular 8' by 1' square of trimmed trees. I also grimace within the grace Of those knotted furled fists toward a sky asking WHY!? After a much calmer gardener had pondered the same word Underneath his humming chainsaw (Though probably for a more debatable material world) Amongst other cuboid amputations. Not to mention those solid soldiers Whose attention is really standing dead in plain sight until Wrinkled pavement is not enough ground to hold. Then our hero makes local news in an inhumane, absolutely atrocious, Final act of trespassing, vandalism, homicide, and suicide. Of course nobody saw it coming. Undetected and decayed for half a decade. With so so many Ys it is easier to yelp for for those Xs Crossing against our assumed perfect grids and parallels To those stories of stacking passed from older cries For HELP! Though those did not settle quite so well So I proceed passing over a particularly loud leaf Amidst this dry pondering And snap out of the whats and whys and wheres To take another look around at my illustrious Urban Forest. Unto a more practical pensive test, Which side of that phrase, Burdens the winning emphasis? Well, still warblers and sparrows to inspire a song For how this within time shall also pass along.

Crying in the rain only lasts so long And redrawing faded sharpie butterflies can't go on forever Dreading over the pink and white lines that make you look like like a kindergarten art project only causes secrecy While puking up your last meal only causes travesty. We all hit the bottom whether it be through drugs or cuts Burning or vandalism Alcohol or caffeine Puking or refusing to eat. We all have a point that we wish we never turned to And the meds prescribed to help you Only make it worse And seem like a fantasy. We all hit the bottom but to sip from a different cup We have learned to fake smiles And pretend to have our chin up.

Chin up
Lets go for a joy ride I want to take you on a trip Straight down enormity I'm talking grand larceny Trespassing You know A little vandalism Here and there I think It'll be fun To raid someone's home Degrade their throne Take what's theirs And break their phones Lets not care for fear We have no time for tears Just spit in their face And tear up the place Paint the ceilings red if you have too Just don't forget To spray the walls Along with each door Because we can't leave any Witnesses We're still going to need a few Graves to **** on

Graffiti, **** & Spit
Maktub saw the light at the end of his tunnel It approached him with a barbaric screech Doppler shifting to piercing, painful pitch On the wrong side of tracks he watched the train charge past In his new freedom, he explored the station Wandering through the grimy halls by Too-busy roaches scurrying from the bright A burpy crumple lump sat propped against the wall Reeking of sick and Filth and dead liver Maktub bought him a sandwich And left it on his lap, with a dead president On whose face he had jotted a blotted Don’t drink me The *** woke to this, and Bless you friend, jaundiced beam Bless you back, sir Restored faith in (chances) chances Some teens whizzed unpaying under turnstiles On rolling boards, lying on their backs and holding bags Maktub found them clever and pursued In a secluded spot they made aerosol spray mural Mischievous hands intricately crafted as cans blasted Through their mist emerged a mighty orb of life And in blackness round twinkled possible worlds He admired their vandalism; art is everywhere, he thought At sound of step the mural makers Dashed, leaving colors and can Maktub raised it, unfamiliar, and finished the wall with We are one Returning to his platform, he saw that more had gathered And a strumming bard, milk eyed, fluttered notes with dancer’s grace Her voice sent shivers down his spine and lifted him in spirals I would recognize the Song of God, he thought (and I know where he is) The screeching came again, and Maktub Leaned to watch, eager for his light His train had come to take him home He was calm He was ready

I've seen the look of presidents who know they are wrong but still believe in charisma over honesty. We want to be charmed apparently. That or somebody has a gun pointed to his wife’s head. Would you **** for a loved one? There is no romance in pushing the button that drops the bomb, it’s all in the explosion, mangled flesh and the outcry that is content to exist in social media. Sit kids down with dominoes so they may grow up to know how to fall into some actual form of impactfulness. Until then, the children will grow up impotent, with all that they believe true in the world to be contained in gossip. We are almost onto something. We know it to exist only through reading between the lines of countries and cages. Who built this? Who lives here? Who put clutter into the wide open? Freedom is the space of sense but where I live if you looked up that word you’d see a rabbit pulled from a hat screaming that nothing is moved by tradition. If thought is language then I’m concerned for all the smoke and mirrors in my dictionary. I’ve never met a Webster but I know people who could make you rethink your education. Make you wonder if ideals are places you exist at the moment ideas come to pass in action. Then a space must have the air to move. I want to breath, approach the world when I inhale and it to know me upon release. To be reminded of this exchange every time I speak. A fire sale of all I love I am burning all the price tags off everything. I am the emotion behind the sinewy meat in the arms singing hammer fall at a Berlin wall full of vandalism.

the youngest brother loves his ladder. the oldest is barefooted and sentimental. the middle is marketed to your children and dies to put a stop to the glorification of suicide. their father knows **** well what the world thinks of them so why would he stoop to reading. the family bible isn’t a book because it knows nothing about god. mothering is not the billboard that got away.

the prospect of melodramatic vandalism
I briefly reminisce of that moment of bliss when she touched my lips and we were tied at the hip then torn apart my poor heart was vandalized like despised art
