History Lesson Part 1
Remember that time when we were small? That time when the world was too big for us? That time when everything was taller than us? When everything was larger than us? That time when everyone and everything dwarfed us in every aspect? Back when we were the children of the mind. We might have been seven or twenty-seven, but we all acted like we were not the greatest gift of the universe. We were all new babies that were just brought into the world. We didn't understand society in the way that countless others find their conviction. Back when we are children we are taught to have small...

Early Morning Beliefs
I have a small bouncy ball that I was given by a friend. It’s about an inch in diameter and has a tight, single seam that runs around the entire equator of my tiny globe. It has that nice misty color scheme that many marbles and bouncy balls have and has a very nice, light shade of purple as its base color. I really like it a lot. It’s very bouncy and cute.
Recently, I was lying down to go to sleep and my bouncy ball was across the room on the floor. I thought it was the perfect spot for it. I turned off the back-light on my alarm clock so I could be in complete darkness and allowed my...

Simple Holes
My grandfather gave me a compass
A directionless vessel of venture
A capital of egocentric world-building
A usèd knowledge of debenture
For it never point to the north
NOR south
NOR east
NOR west
It Spun
and it Spun and it Spun and it Spun
Round and round the needle went
Never settling on a horizon to cross
Creating an infinite vinyl record of-
It had lost its magnetic touch
Its magic that pulled the earth together
Creating a smaller system of sanity
He said that it pointed for tomorrow ...

Sensual Secularity
My throat births the serpent of hate; Given the chance to avoid the fates
Tears have fallen, old and cold; Spent my years, torn and gone
Perform new personality; Your sinful soul, conformity
Body and blood, champagne and cum; Lies of hate remove the sun
Crawl to work, down the corner; Eat the cork, digest and porn her
Kill the past, remember the story; Praise all others but give me glory
Don’t say nothing; Don’t say anything; Your god is my anti-christ
Trust me, belief is all abdicating; Your dogma is old zeitgeist
You want me – You hate me – You...
Tears have fallen, old and cold; Spent my years, torn and gone
Perform new personality; Your sinful soul, conformity
Body and blood, champagne and cum; Lies of hate remove the sun
Crawl to work, down the corner; Eat the cork, digest and porn her
Kill the past, remember the story; Praise all others but give me glory
Don’t say nothing; Don’t say anything; Your god is my anti-christ
Trust me, belief is all abdicating; Your dogma is old zeitgeist
You want me – You hate me – You...

An Invitation to a Stale Party
What?
Why would you ever consider me an option for something such as this?
We are just going on two weeks and rather than letting what has happened sit in our memories you want to move forward.
That’s not safe.
That’s not safe at all.
I can’t imagine this ending well.
Am I just simple minded
or stupid?
Am I moronic
or idiotic?
Are you seeing something or feeling nothing that I’m not?
What the fuck?
We sat in that oasis and joked but you weren’t there for my breakdown.
What that my fault too?
Yes
But I didn’t feel the...

A Book About Nothing
Crack me open,
Run your hand down my spine,
File and flip and thumb through my pages,
Skim the author's note,
Read the summary,
Judge me by my cover,
Read me,
Re-read me,
Re-write me,
Re-do me,
Make me better,
Make me worth reading,
Make my novel something good.
Tear out my heart,
Take away my building action,
My climax,
My resolution,
Tear me apart,
Leave me in shambles,
Write in me,
Highlight me,
Crack my spine,
Split the covers,
Tear the pages,
Hate me,
Cry...

A Calming Performance
As the light stings the darkened sky, the cannon shot booms across the open landscape.
I hear the slamming of the light water against my window and slowly sink back into the void.
The silence between the thunders is my favorite. The lack of sound after the crushing cacophony and force caused by nothing shocks you to your soul.
The illumination provided by the lightening gives new meanings to night-life.
The world hiccups but I don’t want it to eat peanut butter or hold its breath. It may be a strike but I wish it was only one pin out of a million.
When it rains, I...

Both Sides of the Same Mind
Everything is better than it ever has been,
Stating alive? I'm not too keen,
I'm alive, and well, happier now,
As I walk the halls, I keep my head in a bow,
I haven't been sad in a real long time,
Every hallway is the slowest steepest climb,
I never want to leave this nirvana,
I've never been offered any mana.
Every second there is a brand new dawn,
Where has all of my love gone?
I sway to the music in my head,
My heart feels like a cold block of lead,
As I bop around as cheery as ever,
Could I ever be outgoing? Never, ...

I Know; The Answers That Never Get Questioned
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I know that I'm wrong and I know what I did wrong but I just didn't get it at the time.
I don't care that you're right, I'm not jealous or petty of knowledge, I'm just fucking pissed that I don't get it.
I'm sorry.
I know children are sponges but why can't I be one too?
I know that the universe is full of knowledge but why can't I learn some too?
I know that there are billions of books to read but why can't I read one page?
I know humans have an innate need to interact and communicate but why can't I do so without feeling...
I'm so sorry.

Current Mood Swings
What are you doing?
You’re enjoying yourself?
Why?
What’s going on?
You finished just – ago and now you’re almost normal. What’s up with that?
You went through totally-messed-up to nothing and nor you’re neutral.
Are you feeling okay?
I’m not sure. Yesterday I was blank and the day before I was so full my head wanted to explode with emotion and now I’m indifferent. I’m just me. I’m not stressed or pressured or affected.
The effect of the veil of stupidity has worn off and while I’m no smarter without it on, I’m less blind to idiocracy. I’m not...

Busting My Cigar Tin
Never allow yourself to be revealed.
Make sure that you never allow others into your life.
Never allow people to see you for what you are.
Make sure you are always safe and by yourself.
Never allow you to be stuck and surrounded.
Make sure you are always isolated.
Never be left in someone else's life and story.
Make sure you have your own life.
Never be trapped by someone else.
Make sure you are isolated from the pain of living.
Always take away your freedom.
Always allow yourself to be controlled.
Always be surrounded by others. ...
