You can conveniently paint
a particular mural scene
distracting focus from pre-
existing rot -
those decrepid boards
with their crooked toothed gaps
a-ligning your picket fence
that you don't want new
neighbors to take notice of ...
but at the end of the day?
it's just a poor white-wash job
everyone sees through
a particular mural scene
distracting focus from pre-
existing rot -
those decrepid boards
with their crooked toothed gaps
a-ligning your picket fence
that you don't want new
neighbors to take notice of ...
but at the end of the day?
it's just a poor white-wash job
everyone sees through

How to Kill a Nest in the Walls
Put the children to bed.
Crawl out from the sanctum, sleep-heavy.
Dawn thick fabrics head to toe and
put aside the rest of your preservation.
Silence the contradiction of the deed,
its gibberish irony,
a mad ringleader’s bellow.
Enter the ring, overweening.
Do not be too cautious with your precious body—
a sting or two is no consequence
for their gagged sleep.
Pause to marvel at life’s insolent flame,
laughing in the face of a universe
constantly trying to stomp it out.
Hose in hand,...
Crawl out from the sanctum, sleep-heavy.
Dawn thick fabrics head to toe and
put aside the rest of your preservation.
Silence the contradiction of the deed,
its gibberish irony,
a mad ringleader’s bellow.
Enter the ring, overweening.
Do not be too cautious with your precious body—
a sting or two is no consequence
for their gagged sleep.
Pause to marvel at life’s insolent flame,
laughing in the face of a universe
constantly trying to stomp it out.
Hose in hand,...

A farewell to those that follow
Nothing is worth being misunderstood, nothing is worth being judged. I've trusted too many times people who have systematically let me down. Now I am leaving because I need peace. I will take what is mine because I believe in the sacrality of poetry and, once I've cleaned out everything I will leave. To my friends and followers and all my peers I say thank you for your kindness and support. I have learned a lot from you all. You gave me hope in my darkest hour. Good bye. Maybe one day I will be back. But right know I need peace and closure. God bless you all. Juvenalis

not so White House...Limerick
The White House is in the pottage
Trump's ego they soothe with l'hommage…
So is it any wonder...
the U.S falls asunder
As he panders his base with frottage...

England and Brexit
England ...and "Brexit"
...sounds horribly familiar…
are they doing this just because they can?
Course we have a sociopath of our very own over here…
awful man... he's terribly stupid... and he whines...
has absolutely no empathy...not
a shred of human kindness...
Bastard wrote the book on
comprehensive unkindness
and pissing on your fellow man…
Has the moral compass of a jellyfish…
and...often I doubt his humanity,
for he loves not a soul but himself.
It's enough to make anyone run away ...

STINK...
I, They, We all stink...
I think, as I sit inside myself
unsettled within this putrid truth
siftin’ thru ME debris, seekin’ proof...
Reekin’ like rotted corpses abound
In some way, somehow, somewhere...
I found that humans such as they are,
STINK, beyond the farthest star...
No matter the situation, condition
or fate...mankind’s stench of greed,
malice, disregard, n’ far too much
hate, all this n’ more leaves me
in such a saddened state...
The politics, n’ backbitin’ ,
molestin’ our women, killin’ ...

f**kinggggg...something, idk
Fuck it, I ain’t going out in public
I don’t get how people love it
I don’t think that I’m too good for that but usually I snub it
I prefer some peace and quite
Put some tunes on, tune my diet
When I got out drinking seems like everybody wants to riot
Where’s the time for conversation?
I use my imagination
It can seem like I do fuck all, I put pro in crastination
Start a project, rarely finish
Start a new one just to bin it
If it comes out less than perfect, wasted time invested in it
Only keeping that for...

poetry and devolution of zeitgeist
posers and
highway men
word salad
conmen hustling
the centuries for a few
vain scraps of immortality
used car salesman of
sadness
quills filled with
snake oil and the
promises of an
enternal eros
there is little said
now that has not
been said better
in some past age
the roses of poetry
sleep in Arthurian
dreams
and the death,
death, death of
idylls
revealing to
all that a fool
and his words
are soon, and ...

sounds to me like "excess population"
excuses for backroom secret talks
positing ways and means

made possible by a label
find excuses to leave the room
find excuses rejected
clipboards and pens
all clipboards and pens

encore for the lesser beings
we are all only
a day away from:
a knives edge
a madman with
a gun
losing a job
losing a love
shattering our
sanity
each moment
a pennydreadful
a film noir
a french
farce
inside of us,
a grand theatre
act
upon
act of
mocking
critical
review
performances of the
wasted and hell-bound
wearing the masks
of
Thalia
and
Melpomene
and at our
feet
ants ...

Sons and Brothers
Took the words from my mouth sons and brothers...remember Trump told us, "The system is rigged"?
Well...he was right...and rigged in his favor...
Say "Thank you" to the Russians and Chinese…
And somehow we...
collectively
just sat back with our thumbs up our arses and let it go down…
We just let Washington screw us...again…

I tell you boys and girls...
I tell you boys and girls…
this dude's the devil…
the Antichrist, it should be
plain to see
He makes a mockery of Christian Doctrine...
blithely ascertains that, "He's the One"
claims to speak for God when it's convenient
ladles out the prophecy for fun
Rules writ in the book of God are sundered...
the Lord God's ten commandments rudely plundered
Dude can't help himself… he's got to hog the limelight..
and spew his latest bullshit in your face…
What will you tell your children when they...
