random thoughts in random meter
roundabout understandings of religion life and poltics
i admit that I'm a part of it but iv got to quit!
im sick of it, its twisted, its summersaulting lunatics
causing superficial movement disguised as action on
the part of people who move for motion's sake its so opaque
and difficult to articulate.
So many levels removed from the surface
were 20 thousand times removed, out of our league, no one
breaks the surface tension, political destruction, personal attention,
deny a whole dimension of reality, and speak beneath detection ...

push send...
its a simple question
so simple indeed
so what could impede
the reply of which I'm in need??
fiery regret echoes within a statement
five 'o'clock in the morning pacing
waiting is a game that all and none win
holding my breath, the air is now latent
I scream as I whisper
the dead of the night is turning to dawn
and I heave as i long
and yet your reply only lingers
dancing and writhing are so similar
pounding and burning
sexually churning
time turns to math, seconds are...

i kant even
I need to pick a subject that fits well in the rubric
including action and movement and isn't so stupid,
I want to pick Kant but for some reason I Kant
HA! the jokes always flow but the answers do not

no name
After the shock then the pain then the healing process... As I leave your flowery lavender presence I know what's next
My overly analytical brain compounds every detail and glance, it makes me want to round off the corners of my eyes where you seem to dance...
And your thick garden scent wraps me in circles... it's like waves, and everything you touch smells of purple...
How I'd love to drink the perfume,
so potent I get drunk on the fumes,
take my hand and keep my arm,
and use one finger of my palm,
my, well... YOUR hand sweats and pretends it's...

evil's twin
i am a fool
undone by the knot
fated to be
the thing i cannot
the mountain grows eyes
the mouth it spawns, laughs
the sky, spinning black
the earth, is a trap.
my mind is all cracked
I'm mad at myself
i never get better
my future is spelled....
i am a planet
that cant sustain life
the habitable zone
watches my plight
this hydrogen won't stick!
the oxygen seizes
"just give me a second!"
but it falls to pieces
the gaze of the star
grows weary and turns
"you cannot know ...
undone by the knot
fated to be

aether breather
aether,
breather,
standing in heaven above the deceiver,
humble broken,
open book; eager
The finger of god
The reach of the reaper
The devil is here
He's stuck in my mirror
My apartment's possessed
By my brother's keeper
I am convinced
I can be no clearer
you're either
the sun of the sun or the void
i can safely say i am neither
the kite
the key
the mystery keeper
The twin of the magician
The chemical seer
Describing descriptions
Deriving...

mine mind.
men's minds are like the earth.
mine is like a coal mine;
I'm useful when I burn,
dark, unhealthy and dry,
...tryin'
to one day be
capable of diamonds...

Bio-liturgy
I weep for the world because the world does not weep,
The secrets I keep, I keep only to speak
On the rare occasion,
we knick the artery with Occam's razor
The beard is cut and the face is grave,
and the grace is gone.. finally we embrace the change,
And negate the good along with the bad,
we blame the goddess entropy for doing her duty,
usefully killing, euthanized smiles,
it takes less to frown so let's pick our battles,
with blanker expressions, avoiding the trifles,
attaching our microscopes to our rifles,
we kill what...

FIRST DRAFT, worth keeping? advice?
fetch from my mind stories old and gray about how the specters came to stay
and tell me in my waking dreams, something rotten lives it seems
the breath of men that did not breathe, crawled up my spine, to my ear it cleaves
and tells me horrors mind cannot conceive, but never did i think it to deceive.
but memory does, so never do i trust
that helpless child, that demon lust
the depth of glances, that pierce like fire
the boyish shrug of my shoulders in wonder
trimmed my soul to emaciation
until that glorious uniform of liberation!

From the kid inside
I should feel great but I'm awful depressed
I'm reading a good book and I'm awful impressed
I see all the pictures in lines of the text
I wish I could hear all of the voices next!
(All the while)
My stomach feels funny
My heart beats real loud
I ask people around
If they hear the sound
I feel cold and warm all at once
It is quite a bummer
My heart is like winter
My hands and feet summer
I walk in my sleep
I can't really slumber
When I think your name
I get woosie as blubber
My arms are...

journey
cold feet
side walk
fast pace
wet cough
winter is following me
and the sinking ship
still swallowing sea
is calling to me
the middle of the earth
has requested my presence
i require the aid of death
i stand relentless
follow the rabbit hole
to the bottom of the world
safe and warm in the core
time begins to curl
no teeth in the mouth of a furnace
cradle my neck, caress, careless
the dark
holds my hand
the dark fire
holds my breath
emerge from...
