DESPERATE PERSISTANCE- 9/15/04
The war isn’t over its permanent October
31st they say the early bird gets the worm
But they’re also the first to burst
I remember the story of the tortoise and the hare
The turtle set a medium pace and left the rabbit in the briar
I feel that this world is moving too fast
I just wanna pop a lude’ and relax
But I got people trying to pull me this way and that
So I pay no attention just jump in the truck
And ponder as to whether I’m fresh outta luck
Because my actions are starting to catch up with me
I used to think you couldn’t fuck with...

FIREBIRDS- 2/27/05
I’m hanging with gin-soaked kinfolk
Pop a pimple it’s that simple,
Disgusting, and abysmal
Grab the box of Nabisco crackers
And head up to Frisco bastards
There are no answers
To be derived from life
No reasons why
You’re born, lived, then died
Your wife cried Annie’s now twenty-five
What some do to survive
Some simply can’t surmise
Are surprised as to why
He D.U.I.’d, sideswiped
A guy walking by
Causing him to land on top of my
Carousel red nineteen sixty-nine
Firebird while I was piling her
He won’t...

My Creepy Valentine
My hands can still
Grab cans, can
Still stuff bowls
Full of cannabis
And smoke it
Until I’m one with
The Joker
I lost so much
Weight, my
Skinny jeans
Are baggy
And that’s just
From swearing
Off beer for
Three months
I replaced it
With spiked
Seltzer
And now I’m
Not getting
Laid at the
Bachelor
Party
I’m having to
Explain corporate
Bills not getting
Paid
Waking up at
7:25am on
Monday
There’s...
Grab cans, can
Still stuff bowls
Full of cannabis
And smoke it
Until I’m one with
The Joker
I lost so much

Skinny jeans

And that’s just

Fo’ Real 3
Everyone knows
Los Angeles and
Everyone is a
Disgusting
Freak
The same movie
Plays on
Repeat
There goes the
Northeasterly
Winds
There goes another
Drought
There goes another
Bout of self-
doubt
what have we done?
What has it all meant?
Why isn’t it obvious?
Abscond with the
Ill-gotten gains
Look down in
Shame
Earthquakes make the
World go ‘round
Tsunamis pass
The time
Tornados cleanse ...

Hot Wingers
She got high and
I thought I was
Gonna die
I got high and
Thought she was
Gonna wank me
We met in a bar out
In Ashbury
Four shots of
Patron and six
Coronas later
We were poking
Each other’s
Belly buttons and
Laughing our
Asses off
At the kiosk,
Ordering a
Tray of
Chicken
Wings with
Extra ranch
And the Cialis
In your pocket
For an insurance
Policy
Sometimes
Things work
Out, and when
They...

Dim Crew
I blame everyone else,
I don’t blame anyone
But myself
Weeded out when my
Boss calls, jumping out
Of my skin every time
The phone rings
I better get something
Out of what I’m
Paying for
This mastery shit
Doesn’t come
Easy, let me
Tell you
Burnaby was
Another Barn
Burner
I never planned
To go back to
That place
Because I
Didn’t have
Any fond
Memories
Of it
And there was
No way I could
Maintain it after ...

A Brief History of Thyroid Cancer
A dalliance in
Space, cameras
On every corner,
Opioid addiction
Paranoia permeating
Every waking
Moment, grabbing
Your gun because
Of it
Shooting at something
That isn’t
There
And killing something
You never
Expected
There are quicker
Ways to get to
Darkness
There is something
That you need
Right now
That doesn’t
Agree
With
Life
And there’s
This other
Thing,
Also
Space, cameras

Opioid addiction

Your gun because

Magic Carpet Rides in Flagstaff
To survive another
Summer in LA was
Cherry blossoms on
The foyer, another
Player that disappointed
On the fantasy circuit
This is what the Gods
Want from you
Even a tapestry is
Stagnant and pussy
Isn’t interesting
Anymore and here
Comes the hellish
Night of
Death
See? Just when
You think I’ve
Lost it
High-five me when the
Mission is finally
Accomplished
Spit on me when
It doesn’t coincide
With your
Narrative
...

“Essential… It’ll Never Get Old…”
Hey Taurek, what did you
Do with that money your
Mom gave you for singing
Lessons? Because you
Cleary didn’t spend
It on that.”
And the next thing
I remember, is asking
That chick in the pool
About her weird
Brain versus
Heart justice
Tattoos and
Them taking
Off to the
Bathroom and
Baby Jesus saying
I scared them
Off
You wonder what
Happened to
Nicole and all
Those that were
Tangentially
Connected to
You
But then you
Think your ...
