The Complaint’s Explanation
Every time your skin
touches you’re fuckin’ I
ain’t come here from
nothin’
I’ve been
here for years and
It’s always
something
Crumbling
infrastructures,
Oscar
nominees
There’s something to
be said about
shadow
accomplices
You want to ask me
about humans and
resources?
Nothing dies harder than
a dream in Hollywood
A scabbard’s chance in
hell
Propel me off this
building

Drones Over Playa del Rey
Forty-two, turning a
deeper shade of
blue
The grimaces come from
somewhere else now
Listening to records from
2004, the last year when
things seemed
possible
Before the blackouts and
backstabbing and television
deals with billionaires on
their deathbeds
Before the production
company on daddy’s
dollar and the bad
movies produced
Before you reached out
to me four years
later to return damaged
music equipment and again
after a year of sobriety after ...

What Did You Do with Your Time?
I just try to figure out what she
wants me to be and I become
that, and it’s always the
same thing. There is no
feminine mystique:
There’s the sword, the
flesh, there’s blood, and
then there’s
Death
wants me to be and I become
that, and it’s always the
same thing. There is no
feminine mystique:
There’s the sword, the
flesh, there’s blood, and
then there’s
Death

Sing Happy Birthday Every Time You Wash Your Hands
Torture is knowing
what you really are
There is a garden where
scars are the fertilizer and
roses are serial
killers and trapped
water harvests this
new strain of
whatever it is
that ails
you
I’m taking the advice
of fools
These phrases ain’t
gonna save you
These phrases ain’t
what they used
to be
These phases just
had a baby and it
looks just like
you
Solipsism rears it
beautiful phallus once
again and I’m into
it because I’m...

It’s Time to Meet with Bill
I’m still fucked up
I haven’t learned a
goddamn thing
And I’m really starting
to believe this
is a disease
I haven’t learned a
goddamn thing
And I’m really starting

Cure Me of My Illnesses
Bless me for my sins
I’ve been around this
block before and I’ll
be here again
You’ve told me of
your troubles and
you’ve absolved
me of my
spirit
There’s nothing worse
than visiting aging
parents
Three hundred dollar
birthday check and five
hundred dollars’ worth
of grief
Old trauma manifests
itself as irrational anger over a
forgotten Apple ID
password followed by
weeks of regret
I have my own state of
grace,...

Alison Came Through to The Other Side
That’s what happens to them: They get fat,
and sick and grow old, and then they die.”
All these things you won’t remember
The factory’s always gotta
Job for you, the factory’s
Always gonna fire
Your ass
Something bad always happens
After midnight
At midnight, you should be
In bed asleep or balls deep in
That sweet sweet pussy, otherwise
It’s just another night in
A loser’s dream
Drinking and writing are the
Only things I haven’t
Given up
On
The brain doesn’t form...
and sick and grow old, and then they die.”

No Beliefs, No Benefits
Monsters still exist because
Of some sort of ancient
Deceit
Ignorance is the best
comedy
God forgives, secularists
don’t
“you’ll have the craziest night of
your life with a big,
fat, ugly pig. I highly
recommend it.”
Politics depends on
Rubes
“Everything is illegal in
Massachusetts.”
He dies at the end from
Radiation poisoning and
Joins his daughter in
Hell
Imagine these fingers doing
Anything else

Charisma Always Wins
We’re all living at the
Whims of the Gods:
New diseases, CDC,
Epidemics, and raw
Vegetables
I’m going to the
Closing of a downtown
LA bar on Saturday
And I really think I
Might get
Laid
😅😂🤣
It’s not the same, but
It’s getting pretty
Fucking close
Keep the conversation
Going for a bag
Of coke
I’m a true poet
Now
Because it’s all
Non sequiturs from
Here on
Out

Nada Deal
I drink too much,
I need to get to a
Dentist, I need to
Quit the gluten-
Free tortillas and
Faux cheese
Booze and porn will
Always be wonderful
Problems
Trying to control the id…
Failing
The prison around my
Heart
Two feet towards
Destiny
Let the purge
begin
In the ashes I will
Be king
In the ashes I will
Make an
Attempt
In the ashes I will
Be dead
And then nothing
Will ever be said
again

Are You Going to Be a Jedi Or A Jackoff?
You write because there
Is no one to talk to
About any of
This
It’s countenance,
It’s scoundrels at
The artifice,
It’s like Bill
Belichick telling
You he didn’t know
A murderer was on
His team
Alistair Overeem
Sparks coming
Off you
Two dead cars in
The garage
The drunkard’s
Gambit
Fruitcakes recruited
For the cause
And you getting your
Just deserts
Is no one to talk to
About any of
This
It’s countenance,
It’s scoundrels at
The artifice,
It’s like Bill
Belichick telling
You he didn’t know
A murderer was on
His team
Alistair Overeem
Sparks coming
Off you
Two dead cars in
The garage
The drunkard’s
Gambit
Fruitcakes recruited
For the cause
And you getting your
Just deserts
