Partial Understanding
Why bother now so close to the end
Why learn anything new
Can it save my life?
Or slow down the inevitable?
There's nothing new that can do any of that
It might help pass the time I suppose
But I'm selfish
I see things in terms of what they might do for me
Not the more global us
It's difficult not to be selfish though
After all
Long before I could understand any new treatise
Or pass on any knowledge gained
I'm going to be dead
So what is the point of partial understanding
Before I go?
Why learn anything new
Can it save my life?
Or slow down the inevitable?

After all
Long before I could understand any new treatise
Or pass on any knowledge gained
I'm going to be dead
So what is the point of partial understanding

Wow
Text me a year later
When you finally realize,
I know everything.

I'm Sorry. But I'm Really Not Okay With It.
At first, Jennifer
was okay with getting nude
and into it with Lisa.
She was also with
getting into a threesome
with Lisa's lover Eric.
But that was before
she saw Eric which made poor
Jennifer have change of heart.

what’s the bloody difference ..
everyone has opinions
they couldn’t possibly believe if they
thought about them;
but then, everyone,
everyone, everyone of us is ‘them’,
to somebody else ..

You believe me, right?
I feel sorry for you women
I can see why so many of you hate men
I listen to guys and the bullshit that comes out of their mouths
Quite pathetic, I must admit
I'm sure it must really insult your intelligence
Sounds like their still in grade school, doesn't it?
It's like they never grew up
What a drag it must be
It's hilarious how much importance they put on your anatomy
It's as if they exist only to get in your pants
Like you have some kind of life saving device stashed up there
You know we're all not like that
Some of us have a grip...

So witty, yet so naive
I took her up to the roof and told her she could fly because I asked God to grant her a special aviator's license.
Did you ever hear of something so goddamn stupid?
She did it
She fell like a fucking stone
Pretty stupid, even for a girl that was an amazing poet!
She was on this site from time to time

Skin Talk
In America my skin is my rope, every melinated fiber of it , society stretches it around my throat. My enemies wear hatred like a coat.
My people became a American nightmare floating on a boat. Slavery was only emancipated, in the deceptions written in their quotes.
Burning crosses lighting the images of evil laughing ghost. Moses shouting let my people go, pharaoh said murder, every first born son, so their population would not grow.
My people shouting let freedom ring. And in trees in the summer breeze.Tearful ebony eyes watched freedom swing.
...

Ghost
I thought I would have to hide my scars,
But they shine in broad daylight, and still, nobody sees them.
It's as if I am a ghost.
I stand in front of a people,
My shattered frame's fragments piercing those who stand closely,
Yet they still say I am not broken.
I starve,
But they don't see my ribcage.
I kill,
But they don't see the blood.
I sob,
But they don't see the bloodshot eyes.
I lie,
And they believe me too well.
I tell you,
I am a ghost,
For a thousand hands have been pushed through me,
Yet no one can...
But they shine in broad daylight, and still, nobody sees them.
It's as if I am a ghost.
I stand in front of a people,
My shattered frame's fragments piercing those who stand closely,
Yet they still say I am not broken.
I starve,
But they don't see my ribcage.
I kill,
But they don't see the blood.
I sob,
But they don't see the bloodshot eyes.
I lie,
And they believe me too well.
I tell you,
I am a ghost,
For a thousand hands have been pushed through me,
Yet no one can...

Fast and Furious
So, my countrymen have decided
to embrace...and celebrate...
organized stupidity.
So it is written.
So let it be done.
And may they learn the hard way
how to bring order
to their own thoughts
and actions.
Though unnecessary...
as forethought would have done the job.
So stub your toes, America!
Fuck around and find out.
Go ahead. Reach out.
Get a good grip on that
spinning table saw blade!

The Deadly Bookcase
After her sister & mother haven't heard from Chrissy for several days, her family reported the petite 31 year old missing. Fifteen days after filing the missing persons report, the mother & sister noticed a foul odor in the house. Following their noses, they found Chrissy wedged behind a 6-foot bookcase. She had fallen headfirst and became trapped behind the bookcase when she tried to adjust her television set, which sat on the top shelf.

Draws Down, Face Up
A homeless man in New York found a manhole in the Bronx that was just out of the way enough to offer him some privacy, so he routinely used it as a toilet. One day he lost his balance and was found dead at the bottom of the sewer. Draws down, face up.

He wants your attention
Little boy left for hardly 10 minutes
The sitter had gone to the store for some cigarettes and soda
When she returned she saw the fire engines in front of the house
She saw the smoke & flames
She found out that the little boy she was babysitting had lit his little brother's crib on fire
The baby was burned to death
He used the matches she had left on the table
He had heard that the only child gets more attention from the parents
With more love & extra dessert
He was only looking out for number one
