POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Eternal misfit.
Espejo
Distracted by
Distraught interactions
with others who don’t understand
nor do they care
nor do I care if
who gives a shit?
Rambling on again and again
to somehow heal
through an idiot’s catharsis
Believing in something
to believe in something
to feel a reason
to keep on believing
that life is worth living
but in the end
all the same bullshit
just painted a different color
Join their party?
Why would I?
Well
of course I...

Ode to You, Jenn
This one called Jenn
Such a lively one
She needs nothing from me
Yet provides all my needs
When life gets rough
Which so often does
She’s standing right there
Serving up her derrière
Living and loving
So fucking fully
When my mind’s about to break
She picks me up, so lovely
This weak soul shudders
From judgement above
Forever indebted
To her relentless love
Such a lively one
She needs nothing from me
Yet provides all my needs
When life gets rough

So fucking fully
When my mind’s about to break
She picks me up, so lovely
This weak soul shudders
From judgement above
Forever indebted
To her relentless love

Refrained
(Moon_bather/Fia Naturie collab)
I got this to say
You don’t know me anyway
I got this to say
What the fuck you trying to say
How many fingers you got
Not enough to make you stop
How many minds can bleed
Until you stop your fucking seed
Hello 911, She’s going to need help please
What is your emergency
The world, and what she believes
Excuse me?
I want to leave and go away
Are you being detained in any way
She has locked me in chain, making me stay
I’ll send...

The abc's of this life aka bullshit
All boys cry
Doesn’t everyone
Fucking good
Heartbreak I
Just know
Lamenting might
Need others
Perspectives
Query reason
Senseless thoughts
Understanding
Very welcoming
X-rated your
Zeitgeist

stream of one
I left my body
Before my body left me
Another simple token
Of my complacency
No jokes written
No lines rehearsed
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Filled up my pockets
With utter disdain
Writing about how
Y’all drive me insane
No practice given
No time to rehearse
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Before my body left me
Another simple token
Of my complacency
No jokes written
No lines rehearsed
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Filled up my pockets
With utter disdain
Writing about how
Y’all drive me insane
No practice given
No time to rehearse
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse

He had the last laugh
Bradley lived more life
In a swift twenty-seven years
Than we could ever dream
In our mortified tears
We got nothing
By comparison
Just another simplified simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
Bradley lived more life
In that rough quarter-century
Than we could ever have
As a fucked up vile visionary
We got nothing
We got nothing
Just another simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
He flipped us the finger
while he said Good-bye
In a swift twenty-seven years
Than we could ever dream
In our mortified tears
We got nothing
By comparison
Just another simplified simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
Bradley lived more life
In that rough quarter-century
Than we could ever have
As a fucked up vile visionary
We got nothing
We got nothing
Just another simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
He flipped us the finger
while he said Good-bye

The Zero
Sacajawea
You loved me
I felt nothing
All the same
Got a goddamn
Empty pile
of nothing
I respect the heroes
Who added up
To zeros
Yet they got
More to say
Than your
Worst enemy
In spite of me
You loved me
I felt nothing
All the same
But goddamn
I am
An empty pile
Of nothing
I feel respect
Yet frustration
For the heroes
Whom they called
Zeroes
My ultimate heroes
All the same
Nothing.

the Tao
Horton got it right
We are a mere speck
Of a speck
Of a speck, et cetera
We can’t begin to fathom
Why we can’t fathom
What we can’t fathom
A million miles up there
Does not even begin
To touch the surface
Of the surface
The sun and the moon
Barely (in)significant
In its course
No comparison, immeasurable
There are no boundary lines
It does not break nor bend
There is no pre-emptive design
There is no end
You have no answers
There is no end
We are a mere speck
Of a speck
Of a speck, et cetera
We can’t begin to fathom
Why we can’t fathom
What we can’t fathom
A million miles up there
Does not even begin
To touch the surface
Of the surface
The sun and the moon
Barely (in)significant
In its course
No comparison, immeasurable
There are no boundary lines
It does not break nor bend
There is no pre-emptive design
There is no end
You have no answers
There is no end

Goodbye
Problem is, I forgot how to sit still. Even when the tide is low and the wind subsides, I feel the need to consume…be it content, canna, alcohol, drama. Or just take the simple solution.
Can’t rest anymore. Can’t sleep without pills. Can’t function without amphetamines. Can’t learn without guidance. Can’t be comfortable in my own skin. Not comfortable with this mind.
I trust no one. Especially not myself.
Goodbye.

Future Ben
Oh, I’m gonna pay for it tomorrow
No question
No doubt
It’s here, my pain
I’m gonna pay for it
Tomorrow
No question
No doubt
It’s here, my pain
I’m gonna pay for it
Tomorrow

A Friendly Euphoria
I dream about this world in my mind where you all love me and I love you as well.
We don’t judge, we don’t discriminate. We just live and we love all the same.
A beautiful place. No monsters, exorcised all demons. Stood in our place.
We love, don’t begrudge. We just live. We just live. And love all the same.
We don’t judge, we don’t discriminate. We just live and we love all the same.
A beautiful place. No monsters, exorcised all demons. Stood in our place.
We love, don’t begrudge. We just live. We just live. And love all the same.
