cave man
(sensory overload)
I'm not fucked up
The world is
I just try to not step
in its shit too much
It may not look like it
but my head is ten feet
by ten feet
And it's usually overcrowded
So I try
to sneeze it out
Cough it out
Shit it out
Anything
I'm always staring out
the entrance of this cave
It takes a lot out of me
just to squeeze both eyes out
of the hole
I pull my hair back
because it gets snagged on buildings
and in crowds
And too much closeness ...

Shout
soon
turns to later
later
disappears
too much of my brain
taken away
by worries
and the day to day
if you haven't heard from me
SHOUT
don't murder me
or shut me out
turns to later
later
disappears
too much of my brain
taken away
by worries
and the day to day
if you haven't heard from me
SHOUT
don't murder me
or shut me out

Cross-purposes
I was pleased
when Reverend Spooner called me a 'shining wit!'
Now I'm peeved.

I Have Been A Good Boy This Year
It's indeed unfair
of me to be receiving
coal this holiday!
of me to be receiving
coal this holiday!

just before the dawn
sometimes there are
no villian's
there's just
you
me
and
life
no villian's
there's just
you
me
and
life

Fluent? (Haiku)
What is a Haiku?
Did you bless me? I didn't sneeze!
Not in Japanese?

Think Not Ill of Me
How hard it must be
For kind people cursed with RBF.
It hurts when harmful intentions are ascribed
to innocent actions.

The Tailfin
The liquid
Response
To being
Touched
Both
Elevates
And
Subdues.
Colors
Of each
Blushing
Sound
Creates
Abundant
Hues.

spanish
black curls, tanned skin.
"hazel-eyed pretty boy"
troubled youth, better man now, still
halfling
tinted, hard to blend with them
white side doesn't accept
some, not fully
misjudged
