in a mood
not hungry
you’re in a mood about something or other might appeal if you look at the
menu know what you’re like when you’re hungry
she says
but I’m not

Labelled Fictitiously.
So, you think you know her and what’s more how to fix her too. A good kick up the arse and less victim mentality would be a start.
Thing is you haven’t a clue and the times she has used triple x super glue just to hold herself in place to stand in front of you or beside you or maybe a fraction behind you.
Funny thing is when she sees you, she doesn’t look in judgment but more a secret high five in solidarity and her words are always thoughtful and considerate.
Behind a face that smiles are also ones who had to fight either demons or life and possibly their own thoughts alone...

fool
you think the woman in the pub
is smiling at you, but she’s smiling at something
she’s just thought
of
course it has nothing to
do with you
is smiling at you, but she’s smiling at something
she’s just thought

Come On, Candi! Call It Quits! Willya?!
Mark
always
sees Candace
walk around the
pool constantly with
that seductive look in
her eyes and still wants her to
finally get it through her thick
head and call it quits because that guy's
going to marry his true love Danielle.

My

cries wolf in
Their

totalitarian
action.

Don't Judge Me, Look At Yourself
People always ask me, are you alright?
You looked bummed out
Or they say Cheer Up!!
Smile!!!
What's the matter with you?
And I just stare at them
Nothing is wrong with me
Must be something with my face
Or my eyes that makes me look angry, sad or crazy
Some little girl no more then 7 walked up to me yesterday
She handed me a flower and told me to cheer up
It made me smile
I felt like taking the flower & shoving it down her throat
Piss off fucker!

Understand
I understand
I understand you
I understand me
I understand them
I can't shut it off
Sometimes I wish I didn't understand
The shit hurts
I know what I'm talking about
You know what I'm talking about
They know what I'm talking about
We all understand
Get it?
I understand you
I understand me
I understand them
I can't shut it off
Sometimes I wish I didn't understand
The shit hurts
I know what I'm talking about
You know what I'm talking about
They know what I'm talking about
We all understand
Get it?

Ode to Gen X
The poem unwritten, words rarely expressed
not ever the host, never asked to be guest
in your childhood, left feral, uncared for, discarded
tending to self, armed in latch-keys; unguarded
Apologetic, serene, your work-ethic on par
you cover your bruises, aware of your scars
where your face is forgotten you lead with your eyes
an adult at eight, and at fifty you rise
to the rather oblivious; your plans laid backstage
preparing for battle, persevering with age
you survive in your values; placid,...

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

if you don't think
enough of yourself
then the sun will
never find you
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.
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.

mirrors
pull me in, hallucination
I see you vividly in my dreams
much more than just imagination
you give me life, you make me weep
longing, I reach for nothing tangible
sorrowed lullabies swirl around my mind
I believe I know much more than planned
you're ruined like me
you are nothing and everything
the epitome of my desire
slip through the mirror with me
the ocean is not the deepest water
there's a grave in me and I think you know
that love is not the safest harbor
I believe you know much more than planned ...
