Boombox Crazy Daze
Life in a group home for the unrepentantly mentally ill has its rewards. The headmistress of our home for the divinely touched summons me to her office. There is a young lady dressed too casually to be staff. Ms. Kate says, “Paul, this is Laura. The police found her sleeping under the interstate. There were no beds available in any of the female homes. I’m going to ask of you something I wouldn’t trust any other man here to do...

Motionless
Ready but unable to encompass
the reality of the fate
that awaits me...
the reality of the fate
that awaits me...

the silence of dirt
I dream of the silence
of dirt
count the years behind
on an abacus
the days ahead on my
fingers
slowly
slowly
the ravens gather
the music of bones
sings
slowly
slowly
and I will
follow
of dirt
count the years behind
on an abacus
the days ahead on my
fingers
slowly
slowly
the ravens gather
the music of bones
sings
slowly
slowly
and I will
follow

Toilet
I was trying to throw out quite a lot yesterday
I was in the bathroom of an aesthetic bar
I tried and tried a lot but did not seem to make it out
I had taken a spoonful of fake love.

Loneliness at Home
Loneliness at Home
There no loneliness
alone
as loneliness
at home
with another person.
There is no distance
quite as far
as the distance
by phone
away
from human touch.
There is no lesson
quite unlearned
as every day
feeling
how the outcomes
of our choices
fail
to meet our needs.
There is no life
That's half
as long
as living
past our dreams.
There no life
as short
as this
that makes
our hearts ...
There no loneliness
alone
as loneliness
at home
with another person.
There is no distance
quite as far
as the distance
by phone
away
from human touch.
There is no lesson
quite unlearned
as every day
feeling
how the outcomes
of our choices
fail
to meet our needs.
There is no life
That's half
as long
as living
past our dreams.
There no life
as short
as this
that makes
our hearts ...

Emo-tion
Your many shades of emo
tickle my ego
tangle with my id,
make me feel known
and shown
that my deep thoughts
are not mine alone,
but expressions
of an essence
shared among equals
uniquely
…universal
Let’s work towards reversal
of the hate
that separates
let’s make waves
of misbehave-your
scandalous kindness
like-mindedness
expanding into blindness
of unity
Give me your authenticity
no duplicity
referred pleasure stirred
by your words

The Ignited Breath
Anger
is a tool of defense against emotion-
The easy response to questions and first time confusions.
Things get broken because the answers are not known. The frustration can be that intolerable.
Everything is in constant flux, so each time it seems that life has become simple,
the puzzle shatters,
the strategy fails,
the composition decomposes.
Anger reveals itself in violence,
the natural result of immature, undeveloped psyches that take eyes for eyes,
teeth for teeth
and that trade blows with bloody fists when words would...

Dust to dust I suppose.
Dust
A pseudo-scientific
chiropractor
rolls eyes
at
waitress -
calling her dumb,
like
an over educated
under
intelligent
motherfucker.
Educated fool.
Elitist.
Flaccid penis.
Then…
Fucks my friend
or
tries,
Only to dip out
after
filling her heart with dreams.
Yeah…
I would drive to his state
just
to punch
him into oblivion &
dust

I Loved A Man
Who was proven unworthy
Filled with such undeniable fury
Who cast me in a mother's role
To which I had so deplored
So he stood there all undressed
Not giving thought to all he kissed her
As though she was nothing but a whore
He made his hand into a fist, shaking it in defiance
Wasn't a lover that he sought
For all the love that he has not
Never crossing his t's or ending
His i's with a dot
I loved a man whose love was fraught
So filled with anger and evil thoughts
...
Filled with such undeniable fury
Who cast me in a mother's role

Wasn't a lover that he sought
For all the love that he has not
Never crossing his t's or ending

I loved a man whose love was fraught
So filled with anger and evil thoughts

Mimes Can Talk
He said we're the best thing
That has ever happened to him
Time stopped
And so did my heartbeats
I stared at him blankly
Scorpions gripped again
Not daring to crawl out
From the lacrimal
I could’ve said something
But i didn’t
What are you supposed to say
When a mime says that to you?
That has ever happened to him
Time stopped
And so did my heartbeats
I stared at him blankly
Scorpions gripped again
Not daring to crawl out
From the lacrimal
I could’ve said something
But i didn’t
What are you supposed to say
When a mime says that to you?

Pneuma
Hiss of amplifiers.
Waves of sound
permeating my consciousness.
Tendrils of music
embracing me
infusing my being.
A perfect cacophony.
Waves of sound crashing over me.
Teasing rhythms
entwined like lovers.
Flowing through me.
Chills of pure ecstasy.
Building to a shattering crescendo
Energy
Emotion
Peaking
I want to hold onto this feeling
Live in it.
Waves receding
Music fades
The final chord
To silence.
Released from the spell.
Remembered joy ...
Waves of sound
permeating my consciousness.
Tendrils of music
embracing me
infusing my being.
A perfect cacophony.

entwined like lovers.

Chills of pure ecstasy.
Building to a shattering crescendo

Rainbow
Rainbow
We have a rainbow between us,
you and I.
And though you may be unable to see it
I can spot it with my eye.
There is so much color,
beautiful and true!
And it is a triple rainbow!
No. Not just a single one.
At the other end, my pot of gold.
At the other end maybe you.
Maybe this is just a dream
from which I do not want to awaken.
I only know you in dreams this way.
My god, my heart you have taken!
Is this rainbow somehow in your world?
Would you spot it if you tried
or is...
