bruised fruit.
words are words
couldn’t care less
they decorate my
bruised fruit flesh.

Static Landscape
I am walking through silver greyish fields
and staring in the blackish sky.
I can only hear the steps of mine
and can only see dust and stones
and the endless abyss that’s above.
There is no rain, no snow, no whiff,
there is nothing.
There is no joy, no grief, no wrath,
there is nothing.
I pick up a stone and throw it.
If I hadn’t picked, it would’ve stayed there
forever.
And should I pick it not, it would stay where it fell
forever.
Also this, and this, and this, and this, and this,
and this
stone. ...

There’s no bigger fool than a willingly duped one!
By Stanley Collymore
It’s Remembrance Sunday and obligatorily
I'm publicly expected to show that I earnestly
care, whether the sentiment is genuine or
not on my part and even though I don’t
actually know anything about and,
furthermore, care even less of
what these internecine wars,
participated in long before I was
even born, were all about and
what it is that I’m expected
to either self-righteously
or else very penitently
be remembering in
direct relation to
one or else the
two of them.
Or as a...

Dimly lit candle light
Carrying the dimly lit candle light that struggles to glint
Feel the cold biting breeze as you wander the abyss
That moves like swift hands to smother the flame quick
Nothing but this sunless void will ever exist
The life of that light being your only wish
When you try to run, remember there's no where to fix
That dimly lit candle light
Its all you know
When that light fades
In your heart it will start to snow
Your pain from many dark days are what steals it's glow
...
Feel the cold biting breeze as you wander the abyss

UNRESOLVED MYSTERY
A puzzle I am even unto myself…a mystery not even I can resolve.
I have never understood why I do or act the way I do…the mystery never dissolves
With every leap I take into a brand new day
I blow myself away
Thinking and over-thinking, analyzing and configuring myself like an unsolvable equation
I’ve shot prayers up to the heavens asking the Almighty to explain, awaiting with anticipation
For answers never answered…not even by the Almighty One.
So, I’ve re-traced my footprints paved across the miles of my history and found...

My Day
I want to write about my day
But the activities so trivial don't seem worth the time
Pointless electronic dithering
And senseless solo card playing
Fill hours of time with nary a thought used
Just whiling away the times of my life
While outside life really goes by
My day
So boring and uneventful
Seems like so many before
And I wonder if this is now my life
Housebound and weak, barely even here anymore
It's a blow to the ego to find you've become
Just a boring old guy
Spending time as though there were an endless supply ...
But the activities so trivial don't seem worth the time
Pointless electronic dithering

Fill hours of time with nary a thought used

While outside life really goes by

So boring and uneventful
Seems like so many before
And I wonder if this is now my life
Housebound and weak, barely even here anymore
It's a blow to the ego to find you've become
Just a boring old guy
Spending time as though there were an endless supply ...

Apathy of a College Student
I just don't care
About A's, B's or C's
But our society
Demands that we pay
Pay and pay and pay
I never had so much anxiety
Four years in and I still have nothing
Yet I am supposed to fall to my knees
Open my mouth and gag
On loans I can't pay back
To willingly accept the shackles of Dept
To do a job that I'm not sure I even want
I don't care about grades and papers
And writing portfolios
Or backpacks that cause lasting damage
Or the thankless boomers
Who ruined my chances of owning a home
They lecture about...

På å konfrontere en tvangsmessig kontrollfreak
Av Stanley Collymore
Vend deg til meg, se meg rett i øynene og sannferdig
fortell meg hva det er som du virkelig vil ha fra
meg, som oppriktig din generelle oppførsel
blir ganske urovekkende og bekymringsfull for meg
og jeg kan rett og slett ikke lage hoder eller haler
av dine uforståelige handlinger, eller til og
med hva det er det du skal gjøre. Og
det er det ikke rasjonell oppførsel
på noen måte, eller noeting
som jeg burde være tvun-
get til å si opp med i
stoisk isolasjon, og Ganske
utvetydig jeg mest Sprek ...

The Four
The sky opened up
and returned fire
I watched, gasping at the beauty
The streaks of red light combined
With the lightning strikes
Watch as all the Gods
and their might
Are beautifully on display tonight.
In the clouds hovered
Four horses and their riders
As
The War raged on
Beneath the autumn sky
Fighting for life
While Death rode in white
Pale in comparison to the Devil
Famine was the curse of this Earth
Where the rich propser no longer
And the holy ones from birth
...Now waiting...
and returned fire
I watched, gasping at the beauty
The streaks of red light combined
With the lightning strikes
Watch as all the Gods
and their might
Are beautifully on display tonight.
In the clouds hovered
Four horses and their riders
As
The War raged on
Beneath the autumn sky
Fighting for life
While Death rode in white
Pale in comparison to the Devil
Famine was the curse of this Earth
Where the rich propser no longer
And the holy ones from birth
...Now waiting...

A Hangover
We consume excitement too easily
as if it is a carbon-free elixir
or a solo orgasm
or a firework
too jubilant
too short
not to fill a hunger
but to leave-
a hangover
a vertigo
a fall
that makes the rest
of our life
an itching
and long
wait
as if it is a carbon-free elixir
or a solo orgasm
or a firework
too jubilant
too short
not to fill a hunger
but to leave-
a hangover
a vertigo
a fall
that makes the rest
of our life
an itching
and long
wait

The Bitch and Bastard for Walking Away - Part III
Breathing Underwater
The weather has left me speechless. This slow wash into the harvest peels layers of air. Three down, who am I now?
That's a difficult reach. In any case, reflection isn't a branch to grasp, and ripples are distortions of the past. I no longer recognize sense as property, but this sinking feeling seems to belong.
A piping hot hook between sand and surface fizzles on a wispy lifeline. It's consumed for eventual suffocation when called to answer. I promise of every ounce in motion that hangs in this moment, questions are vain.
This...

Slowly Dying
Frozen heart
Transformation commanded
Devotion challenged
Passion demanded
Behavior erratic
Trouble maker
Memory fails
Doubt creator
Endless lies
Phone monitored
Friends selected
Multiple Rules
Mind Games
Lacks ability
Keys vanish
Constant anguish
Disempowered
Restless
Scared
Alone
Bitter disappointment
Confused mind
Nerves frying
Silently, I’m dying.
