Depression
I took no one
To prom
I didn’t even
Cruise the drag
With the dregs
That night
I shuttered my window
I turned off the light
I think
I spent the night
Begging
For no dawn
To prom
I didn’t even
Cruise the drag
With the dregs
That night
I shuttered my window
I turned off the light
I think
I spent the night
Begging
For no dawn

For Safety
Love, that old snake,
comes to thaw my heart
with its honey-sweet kisses.
I light a fire to keep it away
and my heart in the freezer.

tristesse
Tristesse
I saw an old man
he wore a sailor cap
sat on a bench
near the town's lake
he cried
not understanding
why, he was no longer
young
and a mariner
of the seven seas

It's been.
Its been 3 days
I have not been stalked by my brain
And I count the hours.
I have not been stalked by my brain
And I count the hours.

Mood Swings
It is though a dark curtain
has been drawn across my mind
filtering out the will to live
This heavy fog seems to soak
through my bones
like an unwanted guest

Confusion (w22)
Confusion running rampid
In the midst of ambiguity
Trying to find out Who's Who
In this field of nondescript beings
Running from here to get over there fast
Bute where?
The road signs are so
Misleading.

What a relief
A racial crime
A tragedy
The white guy
Kills three blacks
But his assault rifle
He purchased quite legally
So we're all good here.

Greed (X22)
On social sites
Ordinary people giving a few $$
Adding to a few million
In aid to Hawaii
Pocket change to billionaires
But where are they?

where are you
it has been so long since
I've heard the laughter of
love
I think, surely, the world
has ended, or I have
grown deaf
either
way
