Thoughts
Blue clouds above. Magic in a pencil. A utensil in a
glove box. Bilingual Spanish moss. Eggs or popsicle
sticks are no longer cheaper by the dozen. But!
Coming of age means tattoos and SmartPhones. The
Jack in the Box may be transgendered and Barbie
now has implants. Antisemitism is the new rage but
Jesus was a Jew. Now whatcha going do! Politicians
are hypocrites and answer to special interest groups.
When was the last time you saw kids on bicycles or
skipping a rope? Why is my pepperoni as thin as a
postage stamp?

Shoot Out, At The Not O.K. Coral
I understand
That all the worlds leaders
Want to control
Or kill
Each other
Fine!
Just don't involve
The eight billion citizens
That inhabit this planet
Instead of spending
Billions, upon billions
On weapons of war
And destruction
How about saving
This beautiful planet
Instead of destroying it
Wtf! wtf! wtf!
Wtf! wtf! wtf!
Ad infinitum
How come the whole destiny
Of planet Earth
Is in the hands
Of such a bunch
Of mindless fuckers!
Who seem to have no concept
Of what is...
That all the worlds leaders
Want to control
Or kill

broken roads
BROKEN ROADS
The matrix of lies
may yet be real
There maybe a King
in waiting
or yet another betrayal
The few that demand
always seem to win
they lost their souls
to gain the whole world
long ago
We wait for the smell of decay
on the airwaves and the streets
the gossip of news
keeps the kindling burning
Which one has any truth
in this plan of deception?
The famous and the unseen
now allies in the destruction
The prophets keep saying
not to give up...

Don't Blame Cheetos
From the arms of one's hypochondria
hyperventilating strange little emotes
playing shotgun with hope on a rope
a sound of a wooden pencil breaking
dark's pneumonia locked in a closet
googling one thing and it says another
watching a rainbow sink in a puddle
drowning when you could have had a V8
cheating at solitaire in your blame game
eating Cheetos staining fingers orange
they aren't your puffy nicotine cigarette
hyperventilating strange little emotes
playing shotgun with hope on a rope
a sound of a wooden pencil breaking
dark's pneumonia locked in a closet
googling one thing and it says another
watching a rainbow sink in a puddle

cheating at solitaire in your blame game
eating Cheetos staining fingers orange

Into The Night
FBI HEADQUARTERS
Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch Department
New York, New York
Interrogation of Mr. Dmeshii Yukisovo
Marcus looked through the two-way see through mirror. He took a sip of his coffee and then placed the Styrofoam cup down on the gray table. He lifted a folder from off the table and opened it. He looked down at the two photographs of the men pulled from out the New York Harbor.
“Agent Blackstone,” Marcus tossed over his shoulder.
Agent Blackstone stepped up to the two-way see through mirror.
“Yes...

Cheating at Rainbows
I have no time or tolerance for fools
or those who cheat at rainbows
dark stands ajar with an open-face
though the silence speaks louder
then the sweeping gross negligence
of the clueless as life passes them by
playing jabberwocky to a shadow
with a catcher's mitt, thinking they are Oz
or those who cheat at rainbows

Entangled
THE GRAND MILLENNIUM CONDOMINIUMS
Manhattan, New York
Upper West Side
Marcus lifted the saturated loofah and wrung it over Zaniyah’s shoulder blade.
The soapy water droplets slid down her skin.
Marcus pulled Zaniyah back against his chest.
“Baby, let me ask you a question.”
Zaniyah pivoted her head upward.
“Yes.”
“And answer me honesty, strictly off the record.”
“Would you just ask me the question handsome?”

Cold Tongue Of Twilight
When talcum is the cold tongue of twilight
the mirror of the soul's absolute chaos
of dark disharmony among the minions
narcissistic grape vines going to vinegar
listening to antiquated Sasquatch
the mother tongue of deception
trumpet it's lunacy using a stopwatch
listening to the shoe drop as old fools
run with the devil as their wheels fall off
when talcum is the cold tongue of twilight
the mirror of the soul's absolute chaos
of dark disharmony among the minions
narcissistic grape vines going to vinegar
listening to antiquated Sasquatch
the mother tongue of deception
trumpet it's lunacy using a stopwatch
listening to the shoe drop as old fools
run with the devil as their wheels fall off
when talcum is the cold tongue of twilight

Fading Godiva
Held by the Kismet of fate
of pewtered shattered glass
dripping life's vanity
reflecting neon pale blue
in shadows of hypocrisy's
eventual fading Godiva
realizing, you're not
of maddening horehounds
grasping at the throat
no longer in the limelight

reflecting neon pale blue

eventual fading Godiva

Precursor To Dreams
A precursor to dreams, dream blue dripping
frankincense, my shadow an arsonist of my
imagination's narcissistic masochist quill,
from my mamma's moustache in metaphors
of residue from the franchise of insanity
buried in compost dressed in hosiery,
and my johnny coat, light in my loafers
a precursor to dreams, dream blue.

We Are Our Own Creation
I’m standing at the ground level of existence
Looking around at the ridges and mounds of persistence
The erosion of my depression has terra formed the mounts
I attempt to climb the levels between needs and wants
Each level is sow with a different version of my pain
From row to row I choose to reap me again and again
Calluses built, nails broken, as I climb between levels
At the base, life wasn’t acknowledged as I lied with the devil
But he had no use for humans and he screamed, “fuck earth”
Hahaha, he pissed on nothing, and asked me...

Fatuous Imbeciles
Where have all the poets gone
for the girdled souls
fatuous imbeciles wearing thongs
nomads, no place to roam
with no time to smell the fuchsia
in nature's apothecary
disguised as a tree without windows
fatuous imbeciles wearing thongs
writing memoirs on a smartphone
for the girdled souls
fatuous imbeciles wearing thongs
nomads, no place to roam
with no time to smell the fuchsia
in nature's apothecary
disguised as a tree without windows
fatuous imbeciles wearing thongs
writing memoirs on a smartphone
