Nobody Knows - The Creator of Our Own Demise
I. The Cleaner
The guy meticulously mops the cultured marble floor in a Vegas hotel lobby at 5 AM. Nobody knows he’s studying medicine at Harvard. The general manager watches every second the cleaner stands motionless, staring at his phone. The man with two minds types a reply with his thumbs to his long-distance girlfriend, reminding her that he's busy preparing for clinical exams, unable to engage in her emotional fallacies with phallicism.

the singing bowl [gong]
take me to nirvana
down an alley
in mullumbimbi
where silent ombre hippies
shuck faux chakras
in temples of fire and steam
sadist priests conjure
blissful depths of inferno
in a vortex of eucalypt ghost flame
the rite of sweat and chloral rapture

pets
the art of attachment
she knows the rules
no touching
no friction
friends for life
she knows loss
unanswered
senseless
love and devotion is only a dream
a game
played within the dimensions of her bed
beyond the outskirts of nightstands
she remains untouchable
unattainable
lost insight of the poacher
my sacrificial dove
can not be held in a cage
she knows the rules ...

misconstrued [man]ifestations
side [A] be a man
stock standard virulent beefcake
uncouth
king pawn wired for violence
through war he yields peace
look back across the mountain pass
a forged foreign landscape
i barely recognise my [broken] self
she thinks the mechanics are simple
loving him can not simply be
hearts are tempered and minds honed
he is unearthed
transformed ...

you dont belong here
i know it
you know it
they know it
self doubt pilfers order harmony balance
atomic hour thunders down the track
you are a piece of grit caught in a vacuum
where air is soured with the stench of piss soaked shit
the world comes crashing over in an endless wave of damage ...

the universe
faded memory of his mother
fragment of beauty and enlightenment
cut short
when she stood by the window
lulled from meditation
❖
the universe will provide
a boy
the love phoenix
awoken from ashen shell
a handsome jester
with worrier mind and guardian soul
the adorable cub destined to break hearts
the universe will provide
a beautiful daughter with sun-shaped heart
unwaning exuberance
she burns for life

unabated truth
the land with plenty
conceived me
a generation plagued by first world hardship
nurtured and gave rise to the individual
the embellished bigot
i fear the empire of conspiracy
a world with limitations
no pleasure
no freedom
no rights
no soapbox for outspoken youth
i fear desire restrained by necessity
i want rebellion
someone to overthrow the government
defile every symbol of sovereignty
