POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A lot of my poetry has to do with alienation, rejection, loneliness, suicide, mercy fucks, shyness and social justice.
Normal
What is normal?
A bum on the street? Or a
man in his mansion?
There are so many different lifestyles, creeds, races and
sexual preferences, normal doesn't exist in the sense of the word.
What is normal?
Was normal just a word invented to keep the masses in line?
What is normal?
A college frat boy? Or the
class nerd?
There are so many stations in life, physical dispositions, minds
and political sides, normal doesn't exist in the sense of the word.

We Can Go Slow
Why do you act so shy?
She says,
As she makes a pouty face,
And, looks at my face,
With those puppy dog eyes.
I pout because I want you,
To experience,
What others experience in the human race,
And, to the sexual community your essence,
Is not so a disgrace.
And, why are you so nervous?
She says,
As she passes me a coy smile,
And, I am no enemy, I want you laid,
Even though opening up may take a while.

So, There Is This Guy
Katelyn says there’s this guy in her class
Who sits alone and won’t talk to anyone,
She tries to engage him in conversation
Hoping to make it last,
But he just looks down and at no one,
And they say he has no fun.
They see him eat in the cafeteria,
They try to smile and say hi,
But he doesn’t think he meets their criteria,
Of someone cool, he’s just a nerdy guy,
And, why is he so shy,
College is supposed to be the best years,
Not ones where in private, you cry.
They try to invite him to their political marches, ...

That Girl Amanda (Limerick)
There once was a waitress, Amanda,
Who'd bear half her body an' tease ya,
She'd walk down the sidewalk,
In droves, to her men would flock,
That sweet little waitress, Amanda!
-about a waitress I had a crush on
Who'd bear half her body an' tease ya,
She'd walk down the sidewalk,
In droves, to her men would flock,
That sweet little waitress, Amanda!

Inner Beauty
Don't worry, about the physical,
I know you are cynical,
But let's explore each other's inner selves,
And I know you are broken sexually,
And I know, you need my help.
Let's get high off each other's energy,
You don't have to ejaculate to full capacity,
And we won't base it on non-disabled norms,
And it need not require a certain physical form.
And we shall not start sex, so linear,
And we can just talk, the point is to feel,
And if you don't penetrate, you will not be a burden and inferior,
Let's just slow down and not focus on the...

game of life
it's not initiation
it's just the theft of pride
it's not no condemnation
it's just a lonely ride.
it's not materialism
it's just jumping for cash
it's not no ill asylum
it's just escape by hash.
oh living, living the game of life
being cut at our throats by a madman's knife
oh living, living the game of life
and, you're burned at the stake while you're alive
it's not a lie we're living
it's just don't tell the truth
it's not that we're not giving
it's just take it with booze
it's not severe oppression...
