Notes from a Nihilist
sitting
in meditation
I realized
all my moral
values
had crumbled
and
collapsed
into the abyss
my smart-phone
was running
on the sweat
and
blood
of young
children
in The Congo
the relativity
of things
this morning...
staring
into the bathroom
mirror
at my unshaven
face
I ask myself...
how many
slaves
do I own?

Draft 1
I find myself alone in thought
Frightened and exposed
My eggshell like mind constantly questioning
My writing seems to lose it bite I’m thinking very slowly
The lines get crossed and fouled into nothing
A writer I am not

i had a dream ..
the grim reaper
met me—
trembling at the
knees ...
a 9mm caliber
tapping on his
skeleton.

Justful?
Isn't life fragile ; the petals on a rose
Each one falls ; the strong gust that blows
life ; you only have one so be heedful in what you do
6 ft deep : some are already under, next could be you
violence with violence : wheres the logic
isnt that what you see on everyday news
but hey, what do you do...
thats life

in•VITED[2]IGNITED
Invited to ignited
While recited and Indicted by words
That consume like hunger to a meal
Flowing aquatic my SEAL
It bows from KNOW HOWs DOWS
Discover life in a rubber that was left the night before by a POETRY LOVER
Hidden underneath the covers
Relevance and meaning are teaming together heavy as a feather so they can measure stumbling upon a buried TREASURE
that’s not slighted IT’s STEPHEN KING-> SHINING with perfect timing dining on a silver lining sited HIGH*lighted when words are

Swinging from a tree
Swinging from a tree
Noone around just my thoughts and me
Floating on the sea
Nothing around to bother me
In the sky clouds are all I see
Everyone just let me be
But here in reality
Noose around my neck climbing this tree
It's quite a drop but seems so heavenly
Nothing now can bother me
As I hang here swinging from a tree
Noone around just my thoughts and me
Floating on the sea
Nothing around to bother me
In the sky clouds are all I see
Everyone just let me be
But here in reality
Noose around my neck climbing this tree
It's quite a drop but seems so heavenly
Nothing now can bother me
As I hang here swinging from a tree

I Do Not Fear Death but Give it Due Respect
I do not fear death but give it due respect
Every fleeting moment escaping
Reminds me of the limit of time
The clock ticks constantly
Unwavering, stopping for nothing
Age and circumstance plotting
What shall be my fate?
And if it soon strikes am I satisfied
with the image that is left behind?
Did I ever forget to remind you
how much I cared for you?
Every fleeting moment escaping
Reminds me of the limit of time
The clock ticks constantly
Unwavering, stopping for nothing
Age and circumstance plotting
What shall be my fate?
And if it soon strikes am I satisfied
with the image that is left behind?
Did I ever forget to remind you
how much I cared for you?

Restaurants
Stuck in a room
Surrounded by chaos
Forced to be civil
Though I'm losing my mind
It's very loud
I'm trying to stay calm
People all around
Thoughts stressing me out
Involuntary shaking
Head hurting
Losing my mind
Trying to stay calm
Forcing myself to breathe
Surrounded by chaos
Forced to be civil
Though I'm losing my mind
It's very loud
I'm trying to stay calm
People all around
Thoughts stressing me out
Involuntary shaking
Head hurting
Losing my mind
Trying to stay calm
Forcing myself to breathe

Safe
We waited until he went to work
Seven fifteen
Grabbed any pants, shoes, n shirts
Left some dog turds in the air vents for a sexy scent
Policed her personal room and then off we went
Twenty minutes to pack up what was left of her life
Hoping this abusive fucker didn't sneak in on the sly
If he came by I'd be inclined to point and shoot
But the convoy scooted out in a line till we hit the boot
Now we on the highway not even looking back
Got my sister in the car, safe, can't ask for more than...

Titty Bar, Hot Buffet, Meaning of Life ( Bukowski Chronicles)
Mid-Life crisis?
Hardly
The sausage and peppers are good there
Not exactly fine dining
Who goes to a titty bar for the food ?
Not answering that
Crappy draught beer
Dime store wine
You want a better title?
Do it yourself Boss
