POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i need a lot of help with this
The Pod in the Pipe
If I described every room we walked in
With greater detail
Will that help you get the picture?
If I emphasize on the feeling
Explained the very sound,
Pin pointed all the tastes
On the core of your tongue
Would that help you understand
What's in the mixture?
Because when I'm constantly on your mind
You're constantly on mine.
I wonder how you've twisted my words up today
Misjudged all my littlest of actions
Constantly trying to figure me out
Like I am some science project
Or math problem
You can just easily solve...

Mindf**k
Why is it
Everybody else
Can just make me plain despise myself?
My mind
Is blown up
Like a doll.
Nothing inside
Constantly enduring a brutal rape.
Night
And night again.
A pressing force
That settles on top of me
Squishing all the air out
Squeezing me dry.

Squeaky Cream
I am an open sore
Don't blame me
When I aimlessly bleed.
But next time I wake up
And everything is peaches and clean
If I ever wake up happy again
I'll be sure to write about it
So you know
It was only ever
Because of your presence.

Bursts
So these days
Everything hurts.
I feel like at any second
I could.

The Glass Girl on Crack
She came out of nowhere
When I was standing at the top of the stairs
She pulled my hair, and laughed crazily
Then ran off.
But she took off to fast
And slipped down the stairs
Her body crashed
When she stood up
Her entire body was lined with cracks
She looked up at me
And asked
"Help"
Her arm held out
She shattered to a million pieces right there.
I picked up all the shards and slivers that were her
And spent a hundred nights
Putting her back together
But when I was done
And she was whole
A statue of a...

The Acrobatic Kid and The Girl Who Touched Herself to Sleep
It takes a strange man in the dark
With a baseball bat and a toothless grin
To put my lights out.
The acrobatic kid
Crept into my mind
Summer-salts and back flips
In the air, right above my head.
When he falls
I gasp
Open wide gasp
Then he's just gone.
A vanishing act
I don't know what it means
But I haven't felt right
Since his spine caved in on itself
And all his tendinitis snapped.
I heard the bones crack
Saw the skin break and the blood spew out freely
And then
He was just gone.
With a baseball bat and a toothless grin
To put my lights out.

If I had a hammer
I'd hit someone.
If I had a rope
I'd strangle someone.
And if I had a knife
I would stab someone.
But if I had a gun
I would shoot myself.
So don't come around here with your cocky attitude
When I'm cocked back
Because all that's going to happen
Is this is going to end bad.
