First and Last Kiss (Ending)
We both went to the small kitchenette and found two Dixie cups. I followed him to his office and watched as he pulled a small bottle of Gin and tonic out of his small refrigerators under his desk.
After pouring us both a cup we did the customary tapping and took a drink. Closing my eyes and just enjoying the floral scent most gins have as it went down.
“It’s good right?” He asked as I opened my eyes to see him looking at his own cup in thought.
“Have a seat. We should not stand around after enjoying this gem.”
I smiled and went to the recliner in...

The Typewriter
When a boy, the world appears near
climbing over fences, no need to open a gate
Across our house, a grey building, a school
for those who wanted to be welders or
architects or some other trade.
The caretaker had many keys, we thought
he was the boss, wore a yellow coat
and walked with dignity
He shouted at us kids to show who
tough he was, but most of the time
he let us play in the schoolyard
in a ditch, a trapped cat. we lowered
a bucket down for the moggy to jump into
but it was not willing, the...

"human" stuff & the void
I try not to get too hung up on how deep this "human" experience is.... being a "social creature" is a "gift" as well as a curse.... deep down no matter how much you've numbed yourself and "reasured" yourself that to be to self is the absolute best thing that you could ever do-you'll always be at war with the biology of what it means to he "human".... and it sucks....
it'll literally take some kind of miracle for someone to find a special someone....especially if you've almost always worked better alone than with...

Let Me In
It was a matter of time
Til you came back to me
This positive shit aint you
I know you agree
You got these people around you
You say you want them to stay
But i know all you think about
Is how to push them away
Cuz now its become a burden
And you want to be free
Its ok, I don't mind
You can blame it on me
Cuz Im always the bad guy
The source of your stress
But when you fuck things up
Who cleans up your mess?
With your half assed ideas
About wanting to...

Time Wasted
I dodged a bullet
Even though it hurts
I know it’s gon’ get worse
Slipped so low
You got to know your worth
No matter where you go
Feel so lonely and cold
I had to open up my heart, just for it to grow
Lost my uncle when I was eight
I ain’t been the same since
Heart so cold, I don’t know where to begin
I had to look within, never losing my passion again
Pain struck deep, made me the person I am
Said we’re better off as friends
But I can’t do that again
I respect you
I don’t hate you
But my heart has to...

Please,
It’s gon’ take more to check me
I am her and she is me
Please come correct when speaking on me
His love comes in three
Holy Trinity
Protect my energy
Can’t see you as my enemy
It’s gon’ take more to get rid of me
Our love is history
Know you think of me
When she’s not in the vicinity
Obsessed with my masculinity and my femininity
Using me for publicity
I don’t understand the negativity
But I promise to be honest
You can save the toxicity
No sympathy for infinity and beyond

Kill yourself on your own time, not mine
Today I received a call from a young woman
She sounded desperate
She revealed to me that she was going to kill herself if she doesn't receive her refund by the end of this week
She claimed that she was suppose to receive about $7,000.00
I asked her a few questions, for disclosure purposes
I accessed her account and discovered that she's been trying to scam additional money for children that aren't her own
She's been doing this for several tax seasons
On file, notes and history have been recorded, explaining that she threatens suicide to the representative...
