i memorized the snellen chart- just in case i get tested later
In the end it's just a wooden box carried by drunk and portly irishmen.
Can't send home fugazzi when it comes to carrion wolf tickets.
Get jealous of those ill equipped to be hateful.
I wish I would have had hands instead of feet to hold onto something rather than always walk away.
Maybe known more of a sidetracked prophet than a real good accident that happens upon those who deserve better.
Daydreams of good days in the war.
Nightmares about all that's transpired since.
I almost can't recall and probably soon won't, ...

signs of evolution
So if you enjoy taking a shit too much, you might be a dislexic fag.
i don't take my dog anywhere. He just always wants to come with me.
i'm really down with forward progress but talking on the blue tooth earpiece in line at walmart makes you look like a cyborg with schitzophrenia.
And the E cigarette is too much like sucking a robot's dick.
A thousand dollars for a smart TV and i still have to program 3,5 and 9.
Penile insecurity will make you find a place to put your wallet wearing speedos.
I'm no jesus or slave owner...

a delorean with no rear view mirror
I done forgot my birth name.Spent all my time talking to dogs cuz they're actually honest.The last time I spoke to a human,over a month ago, I did a lot though. My first time with the good glass.
Cutting my own hair,lifting weights and thinking a drink with an old army buddy might be the best time I ever had.One week later the nightmares come back and dehydrated to the point couldn't find a good vein if I had a good reason.
Darkness and tragedy,bubble bursts,actual life highs that only make you fall farther and harder are so contagious. You...

crossing the center line
It's easy to be a good man when life is easy but when bad things happen at warp speed,
it all slows down.
The skies take a daily shit on your perception of time and you can't keep from checking your wristwatch.
When you start wondering if quantum theory could keep the things you love from dying you find out how strong you are.
It gets harder and harder to stay decent in the face of adversity.
And you'd think by any natural law you have a right to fight back,find a faster home,
but it's more complicated than that. ...

the job company
waking up from a bad dream an hour before i fell asleep again
smells like a ten year old cross town city bus in here
where nostrils whisper every lil sniffle
that life says she loves me but she gotta be with the other safe bet
him
he who is not having to do as many push ups as his addictions
as a guy who shaves
not a tattoo dude who's seen and done some things he would not ever share with you if you weren't there
she needs the easy douche bag with decorative guitars and
religion
who doesn't ask too many questions...

bouyancy
it's not the death
ending
and less than gradual closure
that gets you
it's the limited grandiose
never wanna wish a guy more hangovers
but you do
there is a shovel
here is a
and you don't know
subjective,objective
with a thousand yard stare
not putting the big I
in the little i of feel nothing
how do you get mad at people?
how many times can you drop a ball
and have it bounce back up to the same place?
gotta be the grip right?
has nothing to do with the weight of hand
or desire to catch
you gotta...
