Humanity Vs. Everything Else
Knee to the nuts,
Roundhouse to
The face,
It was at the
Bottom of an old
Storage box in
The basement of
The lake house in
British Columbia along
With all the rest of it
It’s getting nearer to
The end, talking to an
Old friend about life for
About an hour was the
Best thing that’s happened
In six months
So, so what if I was
Out of a job in six
Months, I’ve got
Something more
Valuable
I just wanted to know if
Everyone was okay,
And if they truly
Were,...

Sometimes the pieces that don't fit complete the puzzle.
Razor blades
and butterfly kisses,
far away dreams and
painful near misses.
Pillow talk
and long eggshell strolls,
shedding old blood and
selling our souls.
Finding our metal,
cold and so stark.
How oddly we shine in
the midst of the dark.
We glide on our edges,
and cut to the chase.
Sharing the pieces,
we fall into place.
and butterfly kisses,
far away dreams and
painful near misses.
Pillow talk
and long eggshell strolls,
shedding old blood and
selling our souls.
Finding our metal,
cold and so stark.
How oddly we shine in
the midst of the dark.
We glide on our edges,
and cut to the chase.
Sharing the pieces,
we fall into place.

THE MUD BEING THE SAME
Exchanging bullets, bombs, gas
obeying hole-in-the-ground commands
unknown the face of the enemy
monstrous in imaginings
Exchanging well wishes, songs, stories, cigarettes,
laughs, smiles, a bit of sport.
one day of Christmas detente, cease fire
enemies indistinguishable but for their clothing
The following day
was it harder to pull the trigger?
obeying hole-in-the-ground commands
unknown the face of the enemy
monstrous in imaginings
Exchanging well wishes, songs, stories, cigarettes,
laughs, smiles, a bit of sport.
one day of Christmas detente, cease fire
enemies indistinguishable but for their clothing
The following day
was it harder to pull the trigger?

Welcome to the snake pit
I guess I lost interest
after the first screw you
and the horse
you rode in on
I’d still hate-fuck
the steam straight out
of that burning coal
don’t know where
she keeps
her Daddy’s venom
but I know those fangs
sure bit her real good,
turned her throat chords
into writhing viper pits
I want to listen, my girl
anything beyond hissing
I surely do
but I can’t control
my own serpent
at the wild risk
of constricting
you
after the first screw you
and the horse
you rode in on
I’d still hate-fuck
the steam straight out
of that burning coal
don’t know where
she keeps
her Daddy’s venom
but I know those fangs
sure bit her real good,
turned her throat chords
into writhing viper pits
I want to listen, my girl
anything beyond hissing
I surely do
but I can’t control
my own serpent
at the wild risk
of constricting
you

Muse Postmortem
I was really pissed off at the things she wrote
In one moment she extolled all my virtues
Then came the sonic boom of all my faults
It's been 4 days since we've connected
The first 2 days I fantasized about revenge email
The last 2 days I craved not doing that
Some things have to stay dead
This my friends is one of those things .....
Will I have the courage to finally walk away
I fucking hope so
In one moment she extolled all my virtues
Then came the sonic boom of all my faults
It's been 4 days since we've connected
The first 2 days I fantasized about revenge email
The last 2 days I craved not doing that
Some things have to stay dead
This my friends is one of those things .....
Will I have the courage to finally walk away
I fucking hope so

Ablaze
( a Quatern )
I thought with faith I’d keep the light ablaze;
There’re things about myself I tried to fix.
The Reaper stood in black with cards it plays,
I threw my challenge down before his tricks.
There’s no way I’d give in without a fight,
I thought with faith I’d keep the light ablaze.
I stood my ground and showed I felt no fright,
The Reaper’s echoed words told of my days.
A feeling of resolve in my malaise
Came to me as I set forth strong demands.
I thought with faith I’d keep the light...
I thought with faith I’d keep the light ablaze;
There’re things about myself I tried to fix.
The Reaper stood in black with cards it plays,
I threw my challenge down before his tricks.
There’s no way I’d give in without a fight,
I thought with faith I’d keep the light ablaze.
I stood my ground and showed I felt no fright,
The Reaper’s echoed words told of my days.
A feeling of resolve in my malaise
Came to me as I set forth strong demands.
I thought with faith I’d keep the light...

The Anatomy of Scars
manufacture the politics to trend
the conflict that they herald
the undying media
endorsing all the fabricated hatred that wont end
I dont believe in world peace
when humanity is war
but you're sold a narrative to fight for
your perspective, your reality
when you're looking for the evidence to sustain your own delusion
when did paranoia become a purpose
distinguished by the exaltation of victimization
never the predator, always the instigator
in love with the infamy
the pride of the lies
feed the fight for the sake of...

Muse Mess
So the muse came back for a little while
She's too angry though
At the world
Me
Her husband
Life
It's not fun anymore
Sometimes the arguments were worth it
Just to feel the rush when things were momentarily good
I don't have strength anymore to fight her battles
I always thought she was a little bipolar
I've got nothing against yin yang
I'm just confused all the time now by whom I'm talking to
Its capitulation time for this cowboy
I don't need to win anymore
The prize deflates me
I ain't got time for that now
She's too angry though
At the world
Me
Her husband
Life
It's not fun anymore
Sometimes the arguments were worth it
Just to feel the rush when things were momentarily good
I don't have strength anymore to fight her battles
I always thought she was a little bipolar
I've got nothing against yin yang
I'm just confused all the time now by whom I'm talking to
Its capitulation time for this cowboy
I don't need to win anymore
The prize deflates me
I ain't got time for that now

Enoch
I asked her what she wanted to be
She whispered..."Alive"
I stood before my father
Blood drenched hands
As the ground swallowed the body
Of a friend that I've outgrown
"Like father like son" I said
But I never wanted this
Being dead,
Just seemed so much easier
I poured the puppy dog tears on my mother
Teased her endlessly in my mind
What a manipulative fiend I've become...
Running from my own hatred
Until it turned into laughter
What good has that gotten me?
I lust for blood...
She whispered..."Alive"
I stood before my father
Blood drenched hands
As the ground swallowed the body
Of a friend that I've outgrown
"Like father like son" I said
But I never wanted this
Being dead,
Just seemed so much easier
I poured the puppy dog tears on my mother
Teased her endlessly in my mind
What a manipulative fiend I've become...
Running from my own hatred
Until it turned into laughter
What good has that gotten me?
I lust for blood...

Inertia Petting Zoo
First it was kale, now
It’s CBD oil, and I
Can’t tell the
Difference
There were flies
Up in my condo, rotten
Cocktail sauce in the
Fridge, and an
old friend who
Couldn’t tell the
Difference
People just become
Estranged, and whether
It’s emotional or
Geographical, this is
The natural human
Condition
Arguing over
Semantics, eating
Healthy and
Exercising like we
Weren’t just going
To die anyways
I’m drinking, vaping,
And smoking weed
Because...
