Butterflies don’t get trapped in spider webs, so I must be something different…
this web of my own choosing
I even helped to build
its supporting structure
has upheld me
and those I love
through countless trials
invisible, sticky strings
of friendship
holding tight
preventing flight
I don’t want to tear the fabric
for those who still belong
but they’re too heavy to take with me
I am afraid to fly
alone.
I don’t know where I’m going
and I am afraid to stay
grounded
lest my wings (soul) dry up
drop off
the path...

Ugliness Of The Virtual Beauty
i boldly stood on the massive boulder
Watching the small village that lies below
It seemed in the eye of the mystic seer
That time up here, is heavenly too slow
In the foggy streets, nestled houses in clusters
Leave nought to the narrowest peep to breathe
From whence chimneys smoke up very thick layers
Where the living ones, spend a narrow life so brief
With every step uphill the heaven's gates open
To the most jocund views, that earth can show
Those small brooks, rivers and grand mountain
A beauty piece of earth to...

With every step uphill the heaven's gates open

Shedding our textiles — with Adagio
Virgin husk, masking nothing but regard
Modest skin, curves like whispers
Wordless idle; endowment in flair
Nude lines no linens shall veil
And in silence, inuendoes have failed
Modesty has but our wings to sail
Shedding our textiles to prevail
Modest skin, curves like whispers
Wordless idle; endowment in flair
Nude lines no linens shall veil
And in silence, inuendoes have failed
Modesty has but our wings to sail
Shedding our textiles to prevail

Deck of Cards (AfterSexDilemma collab)
AfterSexDilemma:
Falling to the ground, Big Bang,
That's the sound.
A big man balancing on a tricycle,
Dancing like a clown.
High in the Sefirot trying not to drop.
Opened my mouth couldn't get it to stop.
Pressure boiling in with hot steam,
Makes my ears pop.
The fish in the sky are going dry.
Start to flip flop.
High on my mind wasting time on the clock.
I'm in decline, getting behind, still in line,
Want fame from the tick tock.

Lens
pajamas at Walmart
everyone covered in blotchy green tattoos
texting drivers
AI images of lush creepy dream homes
plastic water bottles on the ground
obsessive self-documenters
super morbid obesity
diabetic kids breakfasting on cookies and Sprite
choosy beggars on social media
an apocalypse of screen zombies
the Milky Way murdered by city lights
smog blotting out majestic mountains
bad news everywhere
danger
danger
a reflected traffic light
on a drizzly city...

A Road That Never Ends
Mom loves her many precious things
She loves money and all that it brings
I don't think she'll realize I'm gone
And Dad works nine to nine
If I disappeared he'd be fine
I think he worries more about the lawn
Let's take off to some lake somewhere
Head to California, I don't care
Anywhere is better than where we are
Top down and wind in our face
Leave all our worries without a trace
Just throw your luggage in the car
Chorus::
And we'll be off somewhere on a road that never ends
Only turns we'll make are where the...

stream of one
I left my body
Before my body left me
Another simple token
Of my complacency
No jokes written
No lines rehearsed
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Filled up my pockets
With utter disdain
Writing about how
Y’all drive me insane
No practice given
No time to rehearse
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Before my body left me
Another simple token
Of my complacency
No jokes written
No lines rehearsed
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Filled up my pockets
With utter disdain
Writing about how
Y’all drive me insane
No practice given
No time to rehearse
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
