Poet Introduction
Just another hollowed-out shell of a human trying to find some kind of meaning in all his suffering

my sinister hands
have overextended
their reach
to grasp nothing
the air up here
literally hurts
my face
lost an eye
and broke most
of my front teeth
in my preteens
but I had fun
besides, I
learned lessons
that I could've learned
no other way
I was cocky back then
26, and I'm still broke
lost nearly everyone
that I hold dear
but this world
won't break me yet
I curse your sadistic God
with every other breath
and I don't really...

Performance
The body positioned
for inspection,
the strings are checked
calloused hands
grasp the neck
fingers find their mark
the pick requires
a special grip
loose, but secure
gently, but with purpose
less is more when it comes
to finding the sweet spot
warm vibrations fill the air
as the hollow body moans out
tones of ecstasy
like the legs of a spider
calloused pads find their mark
with astonishing speed
heart becomes a metronome
as the tempo increases
to a feverish...

Nah, f**k that
My dear,
should I compare thee
to a Summer's Eve?
Nah, fuck that,
the essence is cleaner,
and far more temperate
...ya nasty slut,
go make me a sandwich

Headphones
My headphones
help me
to escape
to medicate
to keep shit straight
to block out hate
...yeah,
they're pretty great

If This Is Life...
All these thoughts
race through my head
as I go see Dad
in a hospital bed
off to the city,
sights to see
and I feel like
I just can't breathe
and from the entrance
we ascend
to park in our
desired pen
though technically
we're still outside
I feel this urge
to run and hide
corralled like cattle
I'm enraged
these social constructs
are a cage
confusing signs
that line the walls
have left me feeling
two foot small
I finally get
to where he's held
I...

Unworthy
At the start of every day
I don't know why I feel this way
just so damn ugly, so ashamed
whenever someone calls my name
all day I fish for compliments
I never thought it'd come to this
but I don't know what else to do
I just want to be wanted,too
I wonder what is wrong with me
pure hearts in love is all I see
I smile, tell my friends I'm fine
when really I just want to die
eyes meet the mirror with dismay
I half-expect the glass to break
I realize now I ask too much
I'm too damn ugly to be touched ...

Trash
Now, this may shock
you poetic types
but my perversion
is more than hype
there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to get to my reward
and really anyone will do
because I'm just a whore
but that is not to say that I
am lacking self-respect
I just keep pushing limits and
I haven't found mine yet
I like it when it's painful
and I love it when it's sick
I love the kind
that makes me want
to go and wash my dick
...

She
I've walked away a dozen times
but I come back around to find
that even with out history
there still remains some mystery
I find it easy to forget
she has a lot to teach me yet
so close, but yet so far away
I keep her with me every day
so much remains to be explored
I never know what lies in store
a hundred times I've lost my way
but I still find her just the same
she holds the cure,
she's my affliction
she makes me pure,
she's my addiction
she's that which
cannot be attained
I...

Skid Mark Art
Trying to shape my words
to appeal to the tastes
of the majority
it works about as well
as teaching an old dog
tricks he already knows
besides,
if I should win
that mark of acceptance,
then I have truly lost
inspiration strikes
like a chili fart
not wise to force it
but sometimes I still
squeeze one out for fun
and then toss the pair
so I'll leave this here
so that all of you
can get a good whiff
to appeal to the tastes
of the majority
it works about as well
as teaching an old dog
tricks he already knows
besides,
if I should win
that mark of acceptance,
then I have truly lost
inspiration strikes
like a chili fart
not wise to force it
but sometimes I still
squeeze one out for fun
and then toss the pair
so I'll leave this here
so that all of you
can get a good whiff
