Maybe she should have asked for cereal instead
Kind of sick of my wife
This marriage is getting the best of me
All she does is complain, nag, whine and bark orders
I could divorce her
I could up & leave
I'm just lazy I guess
I zone out most of the time
I'll escape by writing poems or stories
Other times I'll exercise or go for a walk or bike ride
I always keep myself busy
I'm a perfectionist
Our home is always clean, organized and neat
She knows how well I take care of everything and knows she don't need to lift a finger
The one thing she does is cook
Very good at...

Hotel Tango
Equinox in a couple of days
finds me right back where I began
I 'm running laps to beat the band
as a professional wheel man
It's typically steady tonight
for an indian summer's eve
But during my Mary-go-rounds
there's this asshole I can't believe
The street, traffic and neon lights
have already replaced the sun
Of course the radio is broke
making all this that much more fun
And I'm braking laws like a fiend
getting from Point A to Point B
Texting and passing on the right
and my seat belt's loose - honestly

TWISTED (11:30pm, 6-16-2020, Palm Springs, California)
with every little
twisted fence
or hateful
fear based wall
you build or raise
you burn
a thousand
unseen bridges
to greater peace
to more compassionate understanding
to more empathetic love
and to deeper
universal
more meaningful
healing connection
in this increasingly divisive
near completely disconnected world
so wtf is that
no need to speak to me
nor anyone else
in such egoic vain
hurtfully hostile defense
when in fact
it s lame for me to think ...

"heaven" and "earth"
"heaven".... projected to only be one version; like earth-one's taught to believe that few are deserving;
like trying to maintain a certain gpa-for a spiritual realm or else you may be dismissed away from the "pearly gates"
measured by more than just your effort as a "good" person; you just may come up short-for not conforming to scripted verses written in days worsen than this....
death was/is but a millisecond-
like the heart beat of a deer once whole-to on a wall headless.... and...

chapter 31
chapter 31 likely won't hit any different than the prior; there's only less desire to aspire to be a half decent "writer";
grey is the color of the lense once rose; a soul without a quest for gold but to be/feel whole-
there's a hallway full of glass doors -one's on the outside looking in; the exit's straight ahead that's not seen through-just darkness
what rooms could be explored? could the earth shift after or before?

A Dream
I had a dream last night,
It seemed so real, like my eyes were open to sight,
About somehow ending up in another dimension,
To a different place, I had never been,
A place, I could not quite pin.
It was like the world I knew,
But slightly different, too.
It was a dimension where I had never existed,
But when I brought my things, they existed,
As if they were transfered seamlessly,
I had my wallet, therefore my bank account was there,
I had my phone, therefore my notes, bookmarks, and history were there....
But it was different, it...

passage ways to other realms
you know, when you want to express a message "deep"; plain words would never do; unfortunately-that's another reason why there's poetry....
though poetry doesn't bring closure by any means; it's hot soup until the next cough or sneeze; and to struggle to even find the words-the perfect combination to what's necessary....

Postmodern Hell
The swindler's sagacious, wicked and anxious
Best prepare a feast of minds
Instrumentally less sheer, weaponizing our fear
He longs to be the key that winds
The puppet has strings and scripts and things
Beholden to the fringe of the law
When mendacity wears down his vestigial crown
His malfeasance is all too raw
Take our spirit, take our means. Start ripping through seams
To lay a base of exclusive profusion
It'll take a weatherworn stroll over a kettle-baked knoll

A thousand ledges
I've spoken in a dialect no one knows,
I've acted ways no one knew.
I'm constantly in a place where other can not go
A place in my head you can never go.
It's been my best escape
A place of great debate
A place where my pure intentions and emotions are derailed
Where the true me has been inpaled
Constantly weighing my true value
Hanging on by a thread
Hanging on the edge
Talking myself off a thousand ledges
In this place I'm screaming
But it seems no one hears me.

"home"
home;
i don't even know....
it's not what it seems;
it's not the place one wishes
it could be....
home;
an illusion of stability;
a place where most would"kill" to be;
the rug underneath one's feet-
snatched away from lack of "currency" or due to dependency....

the split(inspired by Brooklyn Knight movie)
a little something to the more or less "outsiders" that "get it"....
"love" obviously exists, though so does the split-like the understanding/being aware of two or more different languages; and the odds seem to weigh heavily against what one's heart may be captivated with....
anything like Romeo and Juliet is too over exaggerated-and Bonnie and Clyde as well but appears more legit; though neither of those am I ok with....
