Poet Introduction
Fizzle's just this guy, you know?
Blessed Defeat
O thine sweet release
Thou aren’t of sleep,
but of peace.
Thy wretched throes
disguise intention.
A poet’s prose:
thine ends clandestine?
Friends of foes
with faux pretention, make this ending sweet.
Undone metre.
Untied feet.
Discovered
stillness.
Heart’s beat.
Heartbeat
heartbeat
heart

The Interstate
Well-wishers always
look you in the eye
when
you see them at your
stops:
gas stations,
diners,
country stores with souvenirs.
In that glimpse you can see them for what they are.
Fellow passengers on this
road of life,
but there’s something...sedentary
about them.
You know the road
intimately.
You sup on asphalt——to them it’s just a snack.
Its curves are more familiar
to you than the woman
in your bed.

Proses are read.
Violence. Argue.
Shook her, his suite
And soured hue.

sings, numb, leather from three word inspiration
a bird sings outside the window
mocking
my very soul
as i hang here
numb to the world
i wonder how i came to be in this place
i was such a good boy
such a bright boy
they said
he’s going places they said
but they never imagined a place like this
in the half-light
smoky darkness
hands bound
to the ceiling
stretched absurdly
eyes well with tears
when she enters
clad in leather
Vlad awakens
it all fades
...

Splitsville
It’s not you, it’s me.
It’s my thirst to be free.
My spirit calls out for more
than what I’ve found behind this door.
My loathing of such resolved containment,
has matured with this arrangement.
The exhilaration this began with,
and which seemed was well established,
has proven fleeting…counterfeit.
The charm which once surrounded it
has faded. It’s been abrogated.

Small men in large chairs
Medd’ling in our affairs.
Making decisions of who lives and dies,
Gods among men, in their own eyes .
Choosing what’s best for
Woman and man,
Boy and girl..
Assuming they can.
But whose plan is best,
Working for all the rest;
All of the people in all of the world
The women and men; boys and girls.
Diplomacy is
Quickly dismissed.
Might makes right;
The law of the fists.
The missiles deployed,
The armed forces employed.
Massive destruction is felt...

I Caught Her Cheating and Lost My Head
Rain slammed against the windshield like buckshot. The wipers slapped in vain, simultaneously creating bands of smeared grime and the torrents that reduce them into a jigsaw of brake-lights, concrete, and ashen sky. Still angered by the thought of my wife with that Neanderthal, I was unconcerned with—perhaps incapable of—focusing on the dawdling, incompetent drivers around me. Stopping, and going, and slowing, and accelerating. The erratic, herky-jerky motion of the imbeciles served only to heighten my frustration. I cut the wheel left and right, leapfrogging the other vehicles on the freeway...

Lying in Wait
It tastes like autumn.
Brisk air feels empty, sparse.
My mind’s eye sees the coppers, the crimsons, the olives and oranges,
Yellows, and lime green.
And the antique moss.
Monochrome vistas dominate reality.
How long has it been since Sol was here?
I haven’t kept record of days in so long.
Naked trees whisper,
“The end is near.”
Ancient sirens protest the silence.
A vestige of civilization, once magnificent,
Once creative and enduring,
Now wholly entropic.
Rusted circuits, fickle and dissident. ...

Rambling about Her
The stars seem to shine for you, in particular.
Your beauty’s so stunning it leaves me inarticulate.
The scent of wildflowers; like an olfactory vernacular,
emanates from your body, like sound from an instrument.
My brain twitches
its
crass
and like symbols from ash, after fire
cymbals clash,
and the Phoenix, it rises,
destroys cities, disguises
them
in sand and baptizes them;
Now they’re reborn, with new purpose
adorned
like a corpus, with thorns
shaped like a crown.

The Transcendant
Desperately seeking a purpose or goal,
Wondering the meaning…
Is there such thing as a soul?
Is consciousness an illusion or does it exist
In a plane of reality beyond the physics?
Why are we born and why do we die?
What is the meaning?
Is there such thing as an ‘I’?
A cloud of atoms just floating in space,
Each of us just a fog; the whole of our race?
Every morning these notions rush in,
Questions form in the ether,
And start the discussion.
Will it matter, the options selected and chosen?
Or is choice the...

Tuesday Evening
Her thighs are pressed tightly against my face as She trembles
i taste Her lovely flavor more
and i salivate more
the thought of Her pleasure arouses my blood cells—and they rush to the gathering place
She breathes deeply and eases Her scissor grip
Her thighs just the right amount of chafed by my evening stubble
She whispers affirmation
i take a breath
Her scent allures
my animal brain takes complete control now
as She wriggles i feel Her abdomen under my hand contract and relax
my tongue, flat, lingers…
