POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm not sure you could say I'm a poet or a writer but I am able to reveal the poetic presence within tragedy and convey it through my vocabulary poetically. My ability to extract a colorful poetic spin out of darkness Is my poem. It is poetry.
Below The Beneath The Deep Underground
I'm a lost thinker
It gets me hooked lined and sinker
Oh well I forgot to hit my blinker
If I get stopped by the cops I'll probably get thrown in the clinker
One thing's for sure the right path is narrow
You can own it lock stock and barrel
Cleanse off the filth and become sterile
Behind my blue eyes can you see the basket case
The misplaced displaced casket waste the face of disgrace
Perfectly put in my place
Six years ago today I joined the deep underground
Looking for sight and sound
No where to be found bound like...

STUCK LIKE CHUCK
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck's luck
Was sucked and fukked up and struck by upchuck
Upchucked struck
Sucked and fukked luck
Like a stuck up duck with a stuck dump truck and twenty two bucks
How much wood
Could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck
Would chuck wood real good where he should
I got a fukk for a duck
a duck for a fukk
and a twenty dollar bill for a fukkd up duck
and I don't give a flying duck fukk
About how much wood
A woodchuck chucks
Fukk A ducK

One Wink Shy From Two Thinks Too Many
I lay in this bed overthinking and just thank
As my mind strays so far away and plays tricks and pulls pranks
Deeper into the great maze of this quagmire I sank
As free as a fish is on a stringer by the bank
That's kept alive to take a ride to be gutted and eaten not to be kept in a tank
Frankly to be quiet frank
Frankly I think Franky spoke frank Quite frank to the fact that Richard didn't know dic

As my mind strays so far away and plays tricks and pulls pranks

Frankly to be quiet frank

RAMBLINGLY WRITTEN IDIOMS
Liar liar pants on fire
Hang yourself from a telephone wire
The grass is or is it not always greener on the other side
If you can't see eye to eye
Then disagree because
All lies die
You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip
Just like you can't cross that bridge once you've burned it
Chewing tobacco chewing tobacco chewing tobacco spit
Pissing in the wind falling back into sh*t
It's time to piss on the fire and call in the dogz
Little Johnny went and smoked some sh*t
and got eaten by the hogz
Cut off your...

PENNIES IN THE BANK
Right on cue right out of the blue
By the skin of false teeth
and not a moment too soon
An ending unwritten
Gun shy twice bitten as the setting suns setting
See words the pale man's written
Written by the light of the moon
A penny for your thoughtz
On the thoughtz that we forgot
On the thing's that we sought when we thought we ought not
Just keep your twos cents worth
No wait on second thought
I done forgot the rethought with this unthought thought
"Everything that has a price it may be sought but not be bought
So if you...

and not a moment too soon

Never Mind The Matter
If I could just get the Fukk out of my mind
Maybe today I could have a good time
I wouldn't care I wouldn't whine I would never mind
I betcha all the things I've been forgetting to find
Are all out there outside of my mind
All I want to do is rewind
Between the lines redefining the undefined
The things stuck way in the back of my mind
Tiptoeing around the floating landmines
What today forgets tomorrow reminds when you're out of your head but stuck inside of it just trying to get out of your mind
I wish for once I could just lose my mind ...

Higher than the sunrise in the sky of Van Nuys
I was headed back at sunrise
from getting fried in Saint Ives
As I met a guy name rusty with 77 ex wives
He was in disguise so in plain sight he could hide
With 88 dull knives and with one prize to surprise
His 77 ex wives had 99 kinds of vibes
99 different vibes inside despicably are despised
Behind bloodshot bone dry tear deprived eyes
Under cold black skies telling partly cloudy lies
Drawing dying flying flies and ready to connive
Rusty in disguise he can barely get by
With his knives and ex wives and surprise...

Midnight Contemplation
Been burning my candle at both ends
Quiet frankly I'm feeling quiet famished
This concept of time I transcend
I've been put here and shall not be banished
It's a whole lot to try and comprehend yet some how I manage the damage
When does the ending begin so I can grimly rest up and just vanish
It's baffling to watch it all unravel
How suddenly things appears to be so clear
How everything that I saw from way over there now all now looks so differently way up close from over here
I stopped dead in my tracks and looked back
Just to see how far...

Easier said than done
By gawd I said it and by gawd it's done
Words unsaid said deeds undone done sufficiently funded refunds
I've tried everything under the sun
I've lost an I've won I'm playing for keeps you're playing for fun
Pass me on by son cause I ain't the one
One'r than one spinner unspun second to none I'm the winner unwon
It's becoming unbecoming in this world I'm shunned
This is my rifle and these are guns this is the song from a hero unsung
Double shot of RedRum come get some
A winger I wing it with wings unwung
Springing...

Psychotic Psychosis
I should just take a leak and lay back down to get some sleep
But chances on that looking bleak
Fukkit I'm up may as well get fukkd up
Into the wind with three more sheets
Turning in to sleep it was silent with not a peep
Then he began counting out the flock
Like tick tocks from a clock
I heard it as he was
Herding up his sheep
A week no sleep
Two weeks no eat
Completely defeated
I'll repeat to deplete
Scatterbrained
Broken windowpane
It's a guessing game dizzy head change
Will this strain refrain ...

The residual invisible physical intangibles
Is right where the question lies
Look within Within you see
We see better with our hearts than with our eyes
You me and the devil makes three beauty comes in disguise
Wicked TWIcKEDnEsS
The ugly NAKEDNESS
Bare Naked to the untrained eye
We will for real it we will feel it
We will instill it from within the inside
We will Will it we will kill it
Without merit It will parish we will bear it and never die
Trick or treat smell my feet
Keep your fukin potted...

BOTTOMS UP ROCK BOTTOM
With a vision like hawk
in your blind side where they stalk then you finally reach the top
but the chains you can't unlock now you're fukkin finding out it's Rock bottom
On my hands and knees looking for a rock from a mile away blindfolded in the dark and seeing spots I can spot'em
connecting dots and smoking pot dry and dead like in the autumn Rock bottom
I count the cost I add the loss
I drew my lines I kriss and kross
I stood behind but now I crossed my brain was bitten by the frost my eye's I cross the T's I dot'em
In the end where I...
