My brain is like a trendy
low flow toilet
it's gonna take a couple
of flushes to get this
bullshit down.
No shoulder to cry on
so I flood my soul,
a deluge of self loathing
and regret knock around
on the inside, on the outside
I smile, laugh and tell the
wittiest of jokes.
Survival of the quickest.
Nobody likes a dim flickering light.
Pavlov's bird sings a song
and I become a creature of habit
sinking slowly into myself.

Dying Weeds
It eventually all fades
into the everglades
that rain depression
in the mind,
not all thoughts
are kind,
but these thoughts
are mine.
Traipsing in the past
a place where things
yell and scream
where everything seems mean
and I wake up and realize
I am one of them.
Repulsive.
Only wanting to live,
instead I exist
in a perpetual
loop of sameness.
It's all madness.
There's the toothpaste
yet I wonder where the cap is.

Barbra Jean
Some called her dumb
she was just numb
and kinda sorta
full of opium.
An abstract mind
doing lines
this one last time,
or is it.
No one gets it.
No one knows,
she shoots up
between her toes
then it's off to
work she goes.
A productive Junky
high school flunky
the drugs stop
her from getting chunky
she works at a bar
so shes always drunky,
smoking pot,
she smells skunky.
Hope is a planet far, far away
in this stooper Barbra Jean...
she was just numb
and kinda sorta
full of opium.
An abstract mind
doing lines
this one last time,
or is it.
No one gets it.
No one knows,
she shoots up
between her toes
then it's off to
work she goes.

she works at a bar
so shes always drunky,

Hope is a planet far, far away

The Small Things
Inspring colors
cascade across
a rusty barbecue.
Simple mood
changing magic.

Ashes From An Old Fire Are Falling In My Heart
Your face never leaves my mind
it floats around causing
chaos and confusion
comparing everyone
to you.
If those prescription pills
didn't alter our destiny
I'd be holding your face
right now instead of
fantasizing about it.
My only.

Whatever
Water off a ducks back"
The armour in her eyes
would never let her cry
so on the inside she died
but wasn't exactly dead.
Those words that he had said.
Trickling down to a mended heart
as the words hit, stitching came apart
and this was the end she had known
from the start.
No worries, no hurries
shes got the blurries
but no tears will fall.

Never Been One For Disappointment
An ounce of hope
or an ounce of weed?
Take the smoke
over make believe.

Facets
Faces.
On my walls
in my halls.
Inanimate
yet very much alive.
Art is family
collecting every piece
I possibly can.
A gathering with art.
On my walls
in my halls.
Inanimate
yet very much alive.
Art is family
collecting every piece
I possibly can.
A gathering with art.

From Afar
Feeling like a dirty orphan
from a Dickens novel
watching a family gather
through a steamy window,
in my mind I say
"Please, sir can you spare
a few crumbs"
it's not about the food
but all that love.

Shorter Days
It takes all kinds to make the world"
Even pieces of shit like you.
The sun shines and sets
and that's all we get
before nights impending
doom.
The boom and loom.
Thoughts are circling like hungry
vultures waiting for another part
of me to die.
Throwing cracked corn upon
cracked earth seems like medicine
to the mind.
The scattering of offerings
for the wild things to find,
then hide,
for later use.
It's all obtuse
kick me in...

Sycophants
Fake people
infect things
like a disease,
noses so brown
watch out when
they sneeze.

Slither and Hiss
You'll never be able
to kill me with kindness.
It wasn't kind, it was fake.
Of course he's charming,
his father was a snake.
