Whisky, Drugs & the Incurable Romantic
The whisky
tasted chainsaws in my head
it left me in gutters
or in treetops
lurching precarious
each branch thinner
more rotten than the next
Scary,
how empty bottles
still ain't pretty to watch
The drugs
made me happy to forget
before I remembered
all the reasons they were swallowed
and had to take more
until my body screamed
stop... ...
tasted chainsaws in my head
it left me in gutters
or in treetops
lurching precarious
each branch thinner
more rotten than the next
Scary,
how empty bottles
still ain't pretty to watch
The drugs
made me happy to forget
before I remembered
all the reasons they were swallowed
and had to take more
until my body screamed
stop... ...

Today 5:30pm
watch your six...
I'm not much
...at first glance
quiet
plain Jane
just a house mouse
past my youth
so they ignore me
look right past...
counting me out of the fight
...fools
let me tell you
what this disregarded observer sees
while they're overlooking little ol' me
knowledge is power...
so they stunt our education
making it easier to spoon feed the masses
lies they've disguised as reality
pap with no actual nutrients
the sheep will eat it up
& ask for seconds
they view diversity... ...

I No longer Want Answers
In the tapestry of kinship, a distant connection found,
A cousin emerged, in mysteries profound.
A grown woman with eyes that hold the unseen,
Linked by roots, two generations between.
Whispers of a chosen one, a mystic decree,
A believer in spirits, in bushes wild and free.
Understanding faith, prophesying the unknown,
Speaking in tongues, a language her own.
Leadership in the shadows, wisdom untold,
A power she bears, yet chooses to withhold.
Believing in miracles, though she never tries,
A touch that brought illness, where...
A cousin emerged, in mysteries profound.
A grown woman with eyes that hold the unseen,
Linked by roots, two generations between.
Whispers of a chosen one, a mystic decree,
A believer in spirits, in bushes wild and free.
Understanding faith, prophesying the unknown,
Speaking in tongues, a language her own.
Leadership in the shadows, wisdom untold,
A power she bears, yet chooses to withhold.
Believing in miracles, though she never tries,
A touch that brought illness, where...
