I choose my nightmares wisely
the doctor writes me a script
for one of the few drugs I’m not on
and I need them to stop this—
the silver shivers
the waves of nausea that journey
volatile seas in inadequate rafts
sometimes I wonder if life
would be different without pills
as I take stock of my body
how I lay at a 45 degree angle
feeling as if the bed is a millstone
nightly grinding away parts
of my life and my spine
how the atrophy in my muscles
is setting in, and I feel it every time
I...

Streaming
Inside each of us is a streaming service
Delivering images,sound,movies
No subscription needed
It's free for life and
Makes life for you
What's playing in your head right now?
A horror movie?
A drama perhaps?
A comedy, if you're lucky!
The service has no index or filter
You have to make that yourself.
If you don't, you accept the dross that's
delivered .....and more will be delivered.
Netflix or Mindflix
Both are the same
They are there to distract you from
your true self.

it's not Halloween but this ghost costume still fits
Don't look at me
don't talk to me
I have nothing, NOTHING
to say
I'm a head full of empty air
no, NO
I'm worse that that
I'm a head full of stagnant air
empty at least has potential
but stagnant is where
brainwaves go to die
I think all my important brainwaves have died
I tried to read an essay
on the hibernation cycle of mammals
I got half way through and gave up
because it turns out I really hate
the word "torpor"
though the silver lining of that
is that I now...

Reverse Phoenix (Eagles burn slow)
Don’t shield your eyes now
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies,...
The art has just begun to spread
The sirens are loud, and the colors are bright
The warmth that you tried to extinguish lives.
Don’t shield your eyes,
Don’t shield them now.
Look at the ashes that dance in the air,
Look at our smiles,
Puke at our freedoms
While we’re drunk off your despair.
Don’t close your eyes,
Your pain is my drug.
I want to feel intoxicated again.
Feed me your lies,...

An undressed woman
An undressed woman
is a form to lay bare
the vulnerable
in myriad colors:
live sensuous delicious
like true sex exposing
naked truths through body
peep into ever
growing consciousness

JUDGING A POEM
I
Confess that I am among
the innumerable souls that
dare to venture into the magical
and amazing world of writing
and reading poetry.
I
use to try to write and judge
poems by syntax, grammar,
and all the rules Mrs. Know it All
taught in English 301.
I
use to read the great and
well known poets and conclude
that "I might as well forget trying
to write even a simple poem."
THEN
after years of silence but still
in the corner of my heart there
was the urge to write something,
maybe even...

all over again
zoomed in too close to see
the bigger picture
too hot, too cold
too far into the future
too good, too bad
living out the past tense
sink into the quicksand
that is my own subconscious
i’ve been soaking it all in
every detail recorded
every pore water boarded
all over again
the bigger picture
too hot, too cold
too far into the future
too good, too bad
living out the past tense
sink into the quicksand
that is my own subconscious
i’ve been soaking it all in

every pore water boarded

My phone has 17 tabs open. I look at an encyclopaedia of craft patterns and recipes and weird facts I’ve shared with weirder friends. I don’t want to get frustrated by it, but I do, because that’s my mind so we discovered in therapy - my phone is my mind. The tabs are open, constantly refreshing, constantly flickering in the background.
I spent the whole morning talking about stress. How I deal with it. How it chews me up, spits me out. How much I’ve inherited the neurotic shoes of my Mother as they slide neatly under the desk at night. And I hate that I’m like that. I hate that...

Roses are whatever
roses are red
Violets are blue
This formats clichéd
Try something new
roses are black
tulips are white
you and I are as different
as day is to night
roses will bloom
but then they will die
lovers live bliss
but soon they will cry
roses are red
carnations are cheap
settle for those
if your pockets aren't deep
roses are thorny
couplets are corny
you are just waiting
for me to say horny
roses are red
love fills me with dread
it never lasts
it starts...

I'm Nothing, How are You?
So
this is the only avenue i have
kept in my back pocket
rocking out to muted sounds
i am
but a man
nothing more
but so much less
than you
could confide in
an ignorant claim
of self-defiance
oh my
i thought
for a brief second, that
i might be something
maybe have a thing to offer
yet it turns out
i'm just a pretty mess
like the aborted rest
of this shovel
all i can do is grovel
fuck them
and fuck you too
i'm here
but i'll never be you
motherfucker.
