the billowing
long before
the smoke billowed
thick
and grey
she sat
kerosene tears
ensu(r)ed
nothing remained
incombustible
another haze
yet this one
with a clarity
of purpose
.

the fuzz in wake of a catastrophe
in the open of the aftermath
seen
the scenery is a clearing
i left the abstract to the nomads

Honest Truths
You shake hands with jizz
And boogers,
Then eat your hamburgers
With your fingers.
You are breathing the poop
That leaks out in the farts
Of the young and the elderly.
Your body is an ashram...
A dirty
Filthy
Manifestation of GOD!
And boogers,
Then eat your hamburgers
With your fingers.
You are breathing the poop
That leaks out in the farts
Of the young and the elderly.
Your body is an ashram...
A dirty
Filthy
Manifestation of GOD!

getting outta dodge
MAN!
it's really fucked
up when you
think about
it all
life is no big
deal, kinda
like jerking
off all
day
but DEATH!
that's our reward
for making it
through all
this shit?
...no way...
so i told the gods
i was tired of
playing
and i took my ball
and went
home
it's really fucked
up when you
think about
it all
life is no big

Fibonacci's Sequence
Brushes excavate a nacreous glider
sailed
from below sparced out tides blowing over and setting calcium bubble foam one into the other against the propulsion of school fins.
Under there, free falling
beneath capital glory,
with the fibres, rocks and sticks, whatever plastics remain and bone.
Ganglion.
I've shaken tremors of that word,
but never thought.
Detergent gleamed somehow
and drenched in polish,
the spirals slab in queer out on the walls.
Something died, but isn't there.
A cross disavowed from...

the serious matter of flies
what is
poisonous
for some
is poetry
for others
what is
reason for
a few is
insanity
to many
black
white
yin
yang
the clarity
of division
the rage
of duality
and flies wring
their front
legs together
before the
swatter
descends
ending the
confusion

reaching across the aisle
sooner or later,
that big piece of
space debris (half
the size of California)
is going to come
blazing through
the atmosphere
to play duck duck
goose with this
this old world
and there will no
longer be:
us vs them
left vs right
liberal vs conservatives
republicans vs democrats
christians vs atheists
straight vs gay
there will only be
all of us and
everyone
and all of us and everyone
will be fucked beyond
any...

Another peaceful poem
Your presence is purely profound
your heart shines like stars in the sky,
your eyes are wide,
your mind is wise
your soul just wants to fly..
but you don't sense connection
no purpose or direction,
your interest is not in what's known
but in the infinite inspection.
Another peaceful poem
"for the road"
Another peace less poet headed home
"to the valley below"
Your parents are the people
and to every being you belong
they'll guide you through
the gloom and doom,
show ya how to keep on staying...

Prejudged
Look at you prejudging, that's how you get your kicks
Thinking Lil Momma is less, because the skirt is short and the ass is thick
Look at her little posse by the dance floor shaking their ass
Acting all rowdy, drinks turnt up, you think they're low class
Getting all jealous, every time they walk by they show me some love
Kisses on the cheeks, hugs with some back rubs
"Why haven't you come by, we were looking forward to a visit"
You're steadily in my ear screaming, Shawty looks nice, who is it
Hahaha, I'm your fucking homie, I wouldn't...

Status Quo
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
We could had travel the globe, land to land without borders
You could had shared your garden, and I could had shared my water
White and brown sharing meals at the same fucking table
Equally sharing, no hostility, no dam labels
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
No looking for a nine or an uzi, you can't find it
The need never arose to ever design it
Peace has gone global, no need for the criminal minded...

Oh Ye Noble Savage
Oh ye noble savage
So innocent you seem
Contained in your little world
with all the answers
yet real questions are unseen
Oh ye noble savage
Such a simple soul are ye
no knowledge of a deeper world
no time to comprehend
Oh ye noble savage
How you think me less than you
with your pail skin and coloured eyes
and the savage things you do
So innocent you seem
Contained in your little world
with all the answers
yet real questions are unseen
Oh ye noble savage
Such a simple soul are ye
no knowledge of a deeper world
no time to comprehend
Oh ye noble savage
How you think me less than you
with your pail skin and coloured eyes
and the savage things you do

manunkind
the gods make false
promises
the oracles have gone
blind
the churches are drive
through windows of
salvation
and man is stuck somewhere
between fate and
possibilities
the empty sound the
world makes is the
struggling of
souls to
exist
and the echoes of those
spirits are carved into
the rocks of want,
ignorance and
apathy
the earth turns it's head
away
the skies excite with lunatic
fury
the oceans are
bitter ...
