Breakout
I've ripped out the cathater
Got rid of the tubes
Heart monitors gone
I'm sick of the food
Don't really know if I can take it
I'm going insane
It's time for a breakout
I'm sick of being poked at
Prodded and peered
They take my blood every hour
Got none left
I'm anemic
I don't need no stinking discharge paper
I'm outta here
Ciao, see ya later
My human's coming to bust me right out
He'll tell them what's what
You'll see, hear him shout
And when I walj out of this hospital prison
You'll...
Got rid of the tubes
Heart monitors gone
I'm sick of the food
Don't really know if I can take it
I'm going insane
It's time for a breakout
I'm sick of being poked at
Prodded and peered
They take my blood every hour
Got none left
I'm anemic
I don't need no stinking discharge paper
I'm outta here
Ciao, see ya later
My human's coming to bust me right out
He'll tell them what's what
You'll see, hear him shout
And when I walj out of this hospital prison

All Due Respect
It’s 2019, for better or worse
I hear the talk, read all the news
Watch parades, learn the proper terms
People are more ‘woke’ than ever
Society demands lack of judgement
Everything is acceptable, it’s all good
I watch from afar at the hypocrisy
If a boy proclaims he’s gay
Suddenly he wants all the boys.
Post-game showers get strange
If a girl announces she’s a lesbian
She immediately wants all the girls
It becomes a challenge to ‘turn her’
If a person...

Gravel, grey, dry leaves, grass
The field stretched out into horizon where sounds caught into a timeline
of dusk. Dust forms a haze over all. the caravans are scattered into spirals
Where busses undriven for years have names . One has flames and dragons.
Another is flowered in neon colours.
"On the road to nowhere" is written on another van where two couples lay in the grass laughing. Smells begin to arrive through my nostrils. Just arrived
Fought with our tent and the rain shield. After a tripple drive...

Lawless Space
Pain has been
The only gain
Pushing me through
The gates
Of liberation
Velocity amplified
By the pull
Of empty temptation
Farthest from
The grace of the fall
Torturous craving
That belies us all
I sought to
Come alive there
But it seems
Even that was a fallacy
Since the only thing
That is real
Is the space
Between you and me
The only gain
Pushing me through
The gates
Of liberation
Velocity amplified
By the pull
Of empty temptation
Farthest from
The grace of the fall
Torturous craving
That belies us all
I sought to
Come alive there
But it seems
Even that was a fallacy
Since the only thing
That is real
Is the space
Between you and me

Hair
I'm never going to be that elegant lady at a cafe holding an expresso, hair perfectly tight on a windy day. You know, I'm going to be like today but older, grayer, hopefully wiser and maybe even a little bit more financially stable. My hair will never stay put, my curls will always be loose and once in a while someone will call me wild. That's me. I'm not fancy clothes or any kind of physical vanity. I value things like good food, almost like a sacred thing to do, smoking, reading, kissing, touching, crying, coming, waves, fresh air and cool breezes, music, dancing with no regards whatsoever...

A Wolf, Alone
Im going to run into the trees
pastel sunsets,
past the orchids
whisked away now
with the breeze
They said..
I would never make it
here I am
I won't glance over my shoulder
no one will follow me
miss me, chase me
tell me it's not over
but it's so very over
I just want to set myself free
I won't glance over my shoulder
who will remember me?
love me, hold me
keep me from starting over?
oh it's so very over
I'm going to be free

You’re Gonna Be Decent and Expect to Survive?
Free speech and a
Bottle of Budweiser with
A Jameson shot
So don’t tell me I
Don’t know what
I’m talking
About
Because I’m looking
At you and I know
What you are
Everyone wants their
Door closed
You’re a true believer
And the graveyard is
There for you,
As well
Getting set up in New
York to do dirt for a
Mayoral candidate who’s
Going to approve a major
Land purchase if elected and
I’m so fucked up, I have no
Choice, and so that gives
Me...

bad circus.
I sit here silently
summer has froze me,
suffered in torment & figures
my mind is now beside itself,
if they didn’t have four mouths
to feed I would have less mercy,
I am not a figure to help you
become debt free by january,
I have grounds to put you in
a circus of judges & barristers,
I need some peace leave out
your messages of harassment,
apply the end date & we’ll
go about our business.

sweet sins of my youth
i remember,
bitterly,
sweet sins of my youth,
when i broke
the Golden Rule
and kept the bigger half,
and measured out in secret
things that were
not mine to keep
while others weep.
even the truth i swallowed,
without mercy
for the hungry,
at whose expense
i gorged myself.
my truant days
were mischief-wise
for wayward paths,
the devil pulling me
beyond the gates
of paradise.
o how i haunted
helpless birds
and lizards
and buzzing bees,
while teachers taunted me ...

Everything That Gets Reported Is Just Anomalies
Free speech and now my
New boss is asking me again
What my hopes and dreams are
Well, I can’t tell him that, lest
I be fired on the spot, so I
Just tell him, I don’t know and
I’m not sure and oh, really? I
Didn’t know the company
Offered that sort of program
And, yes, I’ll look into that
But I guess I’m a critic, too
And you will not be spared from
My gaze
The only writers that ever
Mattered are Charles Bukowski and
Bret Easton Ellis, prove to me
I’m wrong and I’ll buy you a
Burrito at Paco’s...
