The Pleasures of a Normal Man
for Ian Curtis and Joy Division
You’ve never quite been right, of course.
That’s why you gravitate
to strange and more ambitious types
who once elucidated what you felt.
By where you lived the seas
were like a churning mass; you dealt
yourself two hands of stones
and placed them in your 12-year-old's parka.
The suicide might have shocked someone,
but you weren't close enough
to that last permanence.
You sensed something, a music in the trough.

The blackest rose can still smell sweet
although she's fallen in the gutter
and been trampled by his feet....

Ballerina
Your strength
created by
endless hours
of class
at the barre.
Cruel,
intense,
exacting
to exhibit
delicately
exquisite
technique.
Dizzying
Fouetté,
Piqué
chaîné turns.
Precision
Échappé,
Développé,
Jeté‘s
rehearsed
long past
what the
human body
can tolerably
endure.
Breathless
in beauty
as you hold
arabesque en pointe
defying
gravity.
Orchestra
left,
center
and right ...
created by
endless hours
of class

A Tale of a Cup of Coffee
It feels safe here
A gentle escape from fame
My disguise working well
Even the guy at the Deli on the corner
Didn't pay me no mind
I asked for hazelnut instead of regular
It smells great but taste is often lacking
The story of my life wraps around coffee
I tried so hard to achieve greatness
Now hiding from the very thing I thought I wanted most
Everyone wants a piece of your privacy
Selling my soul for headlines was a mistake
I couldn't have known then, to busy with my arrogance
Shit, he put sugar in my...
