Friction Fractal
altering according to need and necessity
seething on the gag with one small admission
my mouth is vicious
please God guard my mind, my tongue
biting down on the restraint
until it builds and all the birds of the air gather
with expletives flying I release the tension
where it comes from I don't know
the men are in the war room
guard your minds brothers were maneuvering
bring the houses together and unify
assaulting schisms tangy with pressure
jilting midnight's pleasure
I prolong the moment of...

Thick Sweet Brains
My sister & I are chained to a steel bedpost
Every few hours my mother comes in and beats me with a fire poker
She then sends one of her boyfriends to kiss my sister and hit her with his belt
They've often told my sister & I that they love us
Once we get out of here, we'll get our revenge
I'll wait until there sleeping
I'll use that same poker and beat their brains in until there unconscious
Nothing smells like human brains
A thick, sweet smell
It will drive you insane

I'll wait until there sleeping
I'll use that same poker and beat their brains in until there unconscious
Nothing smells like human brains

The Withered
Warped wallpaper
& sharp edges
Peeled back paint
& concrete stairs
Reinforced doors
& stained carpet
The smell of nicotine
In the air
Time worn wrinkles
Held me tightly
Tone deaf cords
& brushed out hair
Beauty could not
Be afforded
But adoration
Was not spared
Maybe my love
For the withered
Does not come
From lack of wealth
But because
It was the last time
I felt true love
In that old...

First experience at Six Flags Great Adventure
In July this will mark the 40th anniversary of my 1st time at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey.
Prior to Great Adventure, I had some experience with Amusement Parks. My parents and grandparents have taken me to Adventureland in Farmingdale Long Island since 1980. My first roller coaster experience was there in 1982. Accompanied by my father, I rode a coaster called the Galaxy. A simplistic, figure 8 coaster that hit speeds of 30 mph. At that time, I thought it was the greatest thing on Earth!
In 1983 my parents took my brother & I to Disney World. That...

visitation vista
I found myself in a conversation
with intimate spaces
betwixed lovers and words
watching lands
birthing lambs sprung
as ewes bleated
it was the same conversation
I was having with dawn
whirling whishes whispered
joyous homecoming
after pilgrim waters
bore fishbones
sea gave me shells
as we watched the wind
we became weeds
he has never spoken
about the wisdom
he left the salmon
returned
these riven tides
a plain white plate ...

Chocolate Bunnies
To me Easter is very similar to Thanksgiving. Lots of amazing food, desserts and family who I enjoy to be around. I am NOT a religious person at all. My immediate family aren't either. Just like Xmas, there is no true celebration in the deep meaning of what these holidays are about. It's more of a food orgy and welcoming family I don't see to often.
When I was a little kid, the house was decorated with plastic eggs, Easter bunnies, ornate, colorful, flowery decor's (purples, light greens, pink) for spring and other nick-knacks. My mother would try & encourage my...

If at first you don't succeed, hide in the garden shed
A man from America convinced himself that he was dying of a transmissible disease and that he had already infected his wife & children. To spare himself and his family this terrible fate, he decided they should all die.
In the middle of his homemade crime spree, he called the police to notify them of the murder suicide in progress. He murdered each family member with a fatal gunshot to the head.
While waiting for the cops to arrive, he stabbed himself repeatedly, but found that he wasn't dying quickly enough. He then decided to hit himself over the head with a...

They're Not The Only Ones Still Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop
Uncle
George had just
died and
left his house to Mark
and his family
on the condition
that they
stay there for
one year.

We Need to Talk
A classic family shadow
on a round-about trip,
As I see the future
that you're letting slip,
Remember when your cousin
was all string out?
Don't you see
you're following him now?
Another wasted talent,
a G damn fucking tragedy.
Still wonder why
I didn't want to leave?
My honesty
only cuts if it is true,
And I only say it
because I fucking love you!
If you were in my shoes,...

my uncle and the snake
once while
swimming,
my uncle
was bit
by
a snake,
the snake
developed
acute alcohol
poisoning
and died.
