the net and hordes
you are new to me no matter the length of stay
come forth from the darkness and announce who you are
there is a familiararity...a pattern I cannot name
you leave and erase and come back again
your depths reaches out to me
you think I am to judge?
simply put I was born different
struggling with terribly crippling anxiety
alone and heavily medicated
torurtuous lot I've fallen in with
isn't it enough I march?
picking myself up
when you fail to see
what me in my...

Hee Haw!
Guns, gasoline, and their subsequent stink,
By bad aroma signal evil traits...
Loved only by hearts just as dark as ink
And thrice uncouth in their doltish debates
Where Texas Tea stains an aquifer,
As if an automobile could vote,
Not caring where the fracking cracks occur
When ethics are learned by religious rote.
Yes, somebody somewhere thinks it's okay
To fuck up the planet for a dollar
And object to anything in his way
Due to all the crude in his heinous choler...
But your thoughts may be as well disrupted
If your brain too...

Andrew Goes to Knotts
I heard Andrew went to Knotts Berry Farm
Saw pictures of him just the other day
Would he be able to ride the roller coasters?
You bet, nothing is going to get in his way
Never underestimate the little guy
I’ve never seen a place roar with great laughter
When one night I saw him ride a mechanical bull
Telling his dad and grandpa, faster, FASTER!
And now he’s out on his first great big outing
Bright smiles all around under the summer sun
And on the rides I bet there was a lot of shouting
Making delightful memories having so much...

a brand
new year,
and

i had
hoped
to leave
behind
with the
old year.

Dubbed Deciet
smiling
faces
scare me
their knives
are much more
sharper
when they talk
it's like a dubbed
kung fu movie
the sounds
don't match
the lip movement
everything is
a twisted
conversation
full of
silent
hazards
out
of my
league
in these
shark infested
waters
cold
ruthless
dead eyes
legal
murderers
of hope
faces

those people
those people,
whose blood is red
but their sky is black...
those people,
whose dreams are colorful
but their vision is pitch black...
those people,
whose journey came to a halt
as soon as it began...
those people,
who feel the golden morning
and saffrony evening in the darkness only...
those people,
whose life is laden with black
and whose shadow is also adorned with black...
those people,
who do not feel any difference
between...
whose blood is red
but their sky is black...

you have to laugh
even as I face my own terror
I see the humour in it
isn’t easy to walk down the street with a head
full of panic
and this pair of knees

Memories of Ben
He’s ten years old
Pokemon hyper-focused
Quoting statistics I can’t comprehend
All I can remember is Pikachu
While he’s all over it
Glued to the television set
Eyes alight with childlike joy
Consumed by an obsession
I just nod and agree with
Lost somewhere in the upgrades
And it’s all about red cars
Specifically convertibles
Counting every one we pass
His hands pressed against
The car window in delight
Which is better than the constant
“Are we there yet?”
When he’s bored and...

Metamorphoses
The transformation from a
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul
How I missed dancing
Playing volleyball
Riding my bike and
Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears
Self-hatred got the best of me
Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention
Merciless I turned away
When I was at my lowest
An angel in the shape of a man
Stepped into my life and...
