idfc if it doesn't even make sense vol. one
can't even fuckin figure out if
today is still
today
or not
or if it's
friday
or
saturday by technicality
but possibly still technically
friday
for the oooh!..possums
and maybe
this shift
has my circadian rhythm
just
bamboozled
but maybe
i'm just
blame shifting
despite their calls of "sunrise"
during twilight hours
forever finding myself awaiting
this.. j-o-b
to ring-a-schwing-schwing ...

mr owl
how many ounces of alcohol
does it take to get to the center
of self-undoing
at exactly what hour of the night
do shots of liquor
begin to taste like heartache
and grief
while
festering secrets of
your conscience
threaten to materialize
in front of
an audience; each body, an observant vessel
emanating a thin veil of carbon dew
tiny drops animating the lense of perspective
silently waiting
collective disconnect further

crack is whack
the art of suffering
becomes a balancing act
once you begin
to understand that
mediocrity
is a desirable objective
when posed
comparably
to the looming shadows
of sleeping poppy fields-
certain to
foist their authority;
autocratic in gesture,
emblazoning a blueprint
of forged ambiguity
upon a flesh bound canvas
woven together by
the tactile essence
of exposed vulnerability
and however grueling an experience
to sift through ...

catnip daydreamz
pressing fingers to the dirt,
burying self within the epidermis of
earth
an exercise in lucidity
manifesting manipulation
of psychoactive particles
gathering our scattered fragments;
essence treated as props to set a stage,
confined by aesthetic
to design
the obscurity of divinity inside of a co-habitated vessel
pieced back together surmounting the construction of a picasso sequence
herein
alcohol by any other name would
preface the same
alchemical equation
to
decree such findings; ...

ruby's back pack
glistening arrows mapped through dark corridors
guide the panic of tourists on a stampeding search party
seeking
screeching red lights
hoisted steadily above the nearest emergency exit;
only the most ruthless
would define
salvation at the cost of scuffed wood paneling to be a fair price;
those more
integrated
with affluence
into
the art of hustle
assume hysteria to be a taxing disposition to resourceful observation
when the width of the threshold shines precedent,...

say it with your chest hair
Life is absolutely
fucking
fickle,
and it certainly does not attempt
to
veil its
truth
nor
flounder
about within the shadows of deception or
facade
nor present itself
to
be anything but;
yet, our human, even
with
possession of
that
knowledge;
some even having been bestowed a manuscript of lessons correlating aim
for
this
particular perceived
wisdom,
still contrives
to
err in such a
way
that

galactic synapse
the paradox
in
a soul contract
is
discovering
resentment growing, relations withering
yet the
signature penned next
to your own
co-signed on a dotted-line
still
feels like electricity
simple sensations
of
minute, rippling pulsations
not familiarity
nor lust
nor comfort
just
little touches
of
electric

the pendulum swing of your thoughts
interrupted
by the silence of a hollow gaze
blown away in the wind
and how disheartening
to feel
a diamond may be forever
but forever is only as long
as
the last breath you
inhale,
as the diaphragm struggles to persevere
exhale,
as such inordinate scintillation transmutes
internally;
formerly
a golden glory,
now a graveyard for decaying ambition

caesar's charades
sinking feeling, still seeking salvation
yet finding nothing in your own wake
except
a crystalline silhouette
masquerading before sunrise
beneath the fragments of a stranger that you once called by name
perhaps a ghost to pirouette upon the horizon
amongst
the illusion
of feeling awe-struck
and captivated
unravelled, thread by thread
to find our thoughts war-torn,
and held captive
fear not the sun,
it did not deceive you
look not to the moon,
it cannot provide refuge
this hole you dug from...

stay golden, lou-evil
to
harness
your divine
feminine
to
emulate
your natural
mystique
is the understanding
that
a mere crescent shape
outlined by the corner
of your lips
can afford you any wonder
you may
desire
in this lifetime
and
whichever clever being
that told you
money cannot buy happiness
has
clearly
never been stranded
in a foreign metropolitan jungle
to ponder the idea
that
money can buy you
gasoline
and
a tank full of gas
can take you home
harness
your divine
feminine
to
emulate
your natural
mystique
is the understanding
that
a mere crescent shape
outlined by the corner
of your lips
can afford you any wonder
you may
desire
in this lifetime
and
whichever clever being
that told you
money cannot buy happiness
has
clearly
never been stranded
in a foreign metropolitan jungle
to ponder the idea
that
money can buy you
gasoline
and
a tank full of gas
can take you home

redwood voyage
when life begins to feel
as if
the death you've grieved
outnumbers
the planes
you've counted in the sky
it sure becomes more
and more
difficult
to always be a fucking gangster
as if
the death you've grieved
outnumbers
