Masquerade
Behind the glowing screen before your face,
You rather portray another,
Than live honestly,
You think you’re so clever.
I pity that you pretend to be what you’re not,
Gallivanting around like a knight,
Yet you’re a mere peasant,
You are not intelligent or bright.
I dare you to reveal yourself,
Instead of this lie you’ve built,
You are a coward,
So this dare will not be filled.
Wasting the time of innocent people,
You continue to be unbothered,
Sad and pathetic,
You do not deserve honor.
You rather portray another,
Than live honestly,
You think you’re so clever.
I pity that you pretend to be what you’re not,
Gallivanting around like a knight,
Yet you’re a mere peasant,
You are not intelligent or bright.
I dare you to reveal yourself,
Instead of this lie you’ve built,
You are a coward,
So this dare will not be filled.
Wasting the time of innocent people,
You continue to be unbothered,
Sad and pathetic,
You do not deserve honor.

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...
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...

that which goes around
judging someone is
like hurling a boomerang
into the vast unyielding
universe
and we all know what
boomerangs do
right?
like hurling a boomerang
into the vast unyielding
universe
and we all know what
boomerangs do

Independence Day
I.
The kick of equality
across a continent
and a dose of
What. The. Fuck
does not match
the Q&A quiz
I took at 18
when I could finally vote
"What can you not stand, Tammy?"
"Hypocrisy."
Yet -
here it is—mangy hair
matted to the scalp,
shoveling the ground
to bury bones of truth
every passing moment
Its lids barely hang
by the teeth of its skin
blocking its eyesight
to democracy
dragging all that weight
killing off the last...

Frogger
The white work van
passed so close
its wind picked
my hair from my shoulders
my wild eyes
sought you out
on the other side
of 10 rush-hour lanes
of interstate highway
my palms were slimy
from sweat washing
off my hand cream
and my stomach
creaked
I gasped,
but I didn’t step back
when the next car
blared its horn
loud enough to
echo in my ears
instead I stepped
forward
...

Central Park (blank verse poem)
Flowers bloom next to rusting Pepsi cans,
Watered by the spit of cocaine dealers,
And the semen and vaginal fluid,
Of hot lovers groping under blankets,
Under stars dimly blinking through thick smog.
Nightly haven for muggers, rapists, fiends,
Whose every breath profanes the species they,
So poorly represent, turning Plato’s,
Featherless bipeds, to dead plucked chickens,
Soul-less, pointless wastes of protoplasm.
Abomination-- not in itself but,
For the use it’s put to: a bone for dogs,
Who’ve never tasted steak, and are...
Watered by the spit of cocaine dealers,
And the semen and vaginal fluid,
Of hot lovers groping under blankets,
Under stars dimly blinking through thick smog.
Nightly haven for muggers, rapists, fiends,
Whose every breath profanes the species they,
So poorly represent, turning Plato’s,
Featherless bipeds, to dead plucked chickens,
Soul-less, pointless wastes of protoplasm.
Abomination-- not in itself but,
For the use it’s put to: a bone for dogs,
Who’ve never tasted steak, and are...

what are friends for anyway?
stop putting yourself
down
because there is
enough people
around you that
will do that for you
down
because there is
enough people
around you that
will do that for you

Holographic
These things used to be people.
These people used to seem like friends.
But it's just a hologram.
I can see through it. I can...move through it.
Some kind of sick joke I am.
No more laughs now.
I wave my hand through one beam of light fruitlessly in hopes I was dreaming.
No dreams.
I can't find my power cord.
So I unplug theirs.
It's just light working the way I wanted it to.
I can move them with my keyboard and voice.
But they don't seem to care afterward.
Programs are like that, you know.
When friends and enemies both...

Eppure Drena
we could have
snuggled silence
in the inverted bosom
of a embroidered whirlwind
where a tilt-a-whisper endgame
mainlines beheaded attrition
into those
scarred and brocaded
nights,
christening a hodgepodge
of
detached days,
and I bled my church
into the textured Hades of you
as our purgatory arose
from trickle stitched homicides
while pearled wraiths
hug the high crimes
on the clavicles ...
snuggled silence
in the inverted bosom
of a embroidered whirlwind
where a tilt-a-whisper endgame
mainlines beheaded attrition
into those
scarred and brocaded
nights,
christening a hodgepodge

and I bled my church
into the textured Hades of you
as our purgatory arose

Sparkling success in supremacy
System of silence
Support the suppression within
Echoes of their cries.
#Haiku made for you.
