Machine Blood
Nearing the days departure
Upon streetlights awakening
Pumping such machineblood
Fast into her steel veins cold
Crystal gaze, formal camouflage
To everyone, she's unassuming
Ancient eyes, turning on, locking in
With her, prey will always be prey
They never fight or take flight
She waltzes between their rhythm
Two shots, no second shooter
In her hands they drop like flies
Upon streetlights awakening
Pumping such machineblood
Fast into her steel veins cold
Crystal gaze, formal camouflage
To everyone, she's unassuming
Ancient eyes, turning on, locking in
With her, prey will always be prey
They never fight or take flight
She waltzes between their rhythm
Two shots, no second shooter
In her hands they drop like flies

enough of yourself

Scrabbling for Synonyms for Skin
The dictionaries were rigidified
By certain secretions, spurted in the midst
Of our desperation to fuse two disparate dialects.
There, our separate speeches
Passed over the other, again and again,
And collected in a chasm carved by distinction.
Fruitlessly, we chafed against our dissimilitude.
By certain secretions, spurted in the midst
Of our desperation to fuse two disparate dialects.

Passed over the other, again and again,
And collected in a chasm carved by distinction.

Perverts, Politicians and Pyromaniacs
Psychopaths and perverts
Linger in the shadows
Of the night stopping only
Long enough to up the ante
In the war against malcontents
And fading politicians who are
Serving up deep-fried linoleum
To the public
When they're not selling
Propane to the pyros
Spurred on by
The cosmic karma backlash
Where the weak are
being spoonfed their
Daily dose of scorn
Somewhere, in the shadows
The perverts easily commiserate
Beating on their pale chests
Shouting "The beasts,
They will not die."

Poets, The Innocent Liars
sometimes we have to fake to live
for a nice feedback to receive
thus, our hearts are quite and calm
and yet, we express too much pain
we are liars, the deceiftul writers
wicked crafters, and manipulators
we seek sympathy and others attention
even against our own self-abnegation
but, sincerely we are very bad actors
making color movies from old cliches
outdated scripts and Hitchcock scenarios
to look pitiful in masked low-budget thrillers
the innocent words to outwardly deliver
alas ! die so fast...

Drifter
Suitable log up on my shoulders, time for a run.
Up this mountain cool morning breeze is on.
Sixteen kilometers legs burn.
Respect and pain something you earn.
Throw the log from my shoulders time to lift
Train battery on a cable, the pain a gift.
Hundred twenty kilo rocks pick up throw.
Cold crisp air good for the soul.
Strap to my suv drag across the field.
Stretch again release the stress I build.
Seventy kilo rocks each hand punch
Nintey kilo rock do a few crunch.
Throw a rope in a tree...
Up this mountain cool morning breeze is on.
Sixteen kilometers legs burn.
Respect and pain something you earn.
Throw the log from my shoulders time to lift
Train battery on a cable, the pain a gift.
Hundred twenty kilo rocks pick up throw.
Cold crisp air good for the soul.
Strap to my suv drag across the field.
Stretch again release the stress I build.
Seventy kilo rocks each hand punch
Nintey kilo rock do a few crunch.
Throw a rope in a tree...

(7) Trapped Within 11.24.23 @ 9:00pm
Life behind xanax bars;
Secrets buried in my backyard.
The boys and I;
Remain ready for tequila sunrise.
Fear not repentance.
Cannabis smoke is relentless.
Chopping up the guilt from my past.
Snorting it by the eighth & having a blast.
Alprazolam as a chaser;
Hospital departure with a pacemaker.
The truth is I’m a lost soul.
I negotiated my serenity for dope.
Slowly disintegrating till cremation.
Mouth foaming from intoxication.
From Los Angeles county to probation.
I’m always getting high, fuck...
Secrets buried in my backyard.
The boys and I;
Remain ready for tequila sunrise.
Fear not repentance.
Cannabis smoke is relentless.
Chopping up the guilt from my past.
Snorting it by the eighth & having a blast.
Alprazolam as a chaser;
Hospital departure with a pacemaker.
The truth is I’m a lost soul.
I negotiated my serenity for dope.
Slowly disintegrating till cremation.
Mouth foaming from intoxication.
From Los Angeles county to probation.
I’m always getting high, fuck...

Decisions & Deceptions
Equations of false perceptions
That equate to misconceptions
Cause miscommunications
That transition into weapons
The best protection is to question
Not formulations of calculations
Whose assumptions lead to divisions
Valuations of depreciation; in relations
This is the summation and conclusion
Of a conversation with introspection
Will it take separations via subtractions
In order for my peace to reach fruition
Life's full of tough decisions & deceptions
That equate to misconceptions
Cause miscommunications
That transition into weapons
The best protection is to question
Not formulations of calculations
Whose assumptions lead to divisions
Valuations of depreciation; in relations
This is the summation and conclusion
Of a conversation with introspection
Will it take separations via subtractions
In order for my peace to reach fruition
Life's full of tough decisions & deceptions

They Don't See Me
If I were an entity known as Brevity
Could you then understand me?
So many wilfully choose not to see
O' say can you see ME as I truly be?

Thinking About The Look On Jeff's Face
While taking a
shower, Gwen
began thinking
about the look on Jeff's
face when he saw her dance
on that strip club stage one
night and crying her own blue eyes out.

The underneath ones
I represent the misfit daughter and sons,
the truly underneath ones.
The ones you would like to forget,
the ones you seen as not worth it.
The freaks, the geeks, the weirdos
the ones you showed the bottom of your nose.
Now you see us for how we are,
the true rebellion, the true burning star.
Yes, I represent the underneath ones
not for being required,
rather the evil I've seen done.
They are no longer undesired,
though you mistook their oddity for ugliness,
now you see the wild beauty that comes
from following the beat of...
the truly underneath ones.

Thought You Were Someone I Know
Wanda
heard someone
say "There
you are" which made her
turn around and see
some guy say "Sorry.
Thought you
were someone
I know."
