Gogyoshi Poem, Nr.09 — An Assured Journey
This poem is little known
because everything has conspired to keep it secret;
despite this, experience reminds
I can know it — though what follows
will surprise the universe as much as me.

Gogyoshi Poem, Nr.08 — Stockholm Syndrome?
Like Jonah, I am traveling
in the belly of a whale
but mine refuses to take me to the dry land
of my higher destiny. Perhaps the erotic element
of our symbiotic tie has become too comfortable.

the space time coffee-nuum
On roadtrips, I often get to stay at cheap motels
Many of them under 50$ a night
And I miss them.
Flickering bold yellowed signs
CHEAP WEEKLY RATES
FREE WI-FI
neon in red and blue
SMOKE FREE ROOMS
ON SITE LAUNDRY
the rooms were small and a crisp damp,
A/C freezing cold
an ice box in the great Summer
little stop of stolen time
in a large landscape
I remember the bathrooms
the calcium buildup on the showerheads
often, they'd forget to put out the free bars of soap
sometimes, a minifridge,...

lonely jamz
over, over the mountain,
mind on ma baby, swiftly i ride—
lonely, out in the cold night,
looking for some place that i can hide.
when i am back in her arms,
i shall delight in her charms,
kissing her over and over again.
wonderful angel of mine,
sent from the Father Divine,
and i'm gonna love her and love her again.
morning, morning shall find me
back with ma baby and her sweet eyes.
teardrops mingled with sunshine
spring from my heart as softly she cries.
when i am back in her arms,
i shall delight...

Fine and Dande'
Hurled into the air
The dandelion spores feel the wind micro currents,
Tickled into the sunshine
Meandering into the paradise they have been set and--
Lands right about a block from its origin, if it's lucky.
Dandelions are 'weeds' for whatever reason.
Make a wish, blow on the fluff
It's enough to propel the little feathers
And to them it's a thousand mile journey
And they are content with any distance at all
Landing into a new era
A couple feet from their ancestors
Closely connected to their past and always cognizant of their...

Hyper Space
I'm going trolling into the abyss.
Rhyme owing soul in lieu of hyperwish.
Time slowing, wormholing Ginsu... diapers pissed.
Crime of blowing ol' lightspeed " ...goodbye" with a kiss.
"Hi Ma!" (fuckin' ho, rickrolling a whole civilization at me like this.)
Shine on, 'cause I'm never gonna give you up; "uhn tis, unh tis, uhn tis."
Mime in the flow. Which way do I go? Schrödinger's cat, superposished.
Slime throe, AntiMatter-A-Gogo scrolls by me... I'm a bowl on a fish.
Climb on down the ladder, if the goal is getting closer, I better know BEFORE I swish,...

A millimetre hung under the mezzanine
Just as a pin on the map.
I pick you up,
unkissed; shy sunrising rock.
I pick you up.
The break-in on the abandoned school;
the drunken invasion of an archeological site
I picked you up.
Aegean, pleiadian care-worker;
indelible.
I pick you up,

When In Fort Ord (TRUE STORY)
When In Fort Ord (TRUE STORY)
Sometimes you get bored.
(Several times.)
So you haunt the ruins of Ft. Ord.
(ANY time.)
You cloister the church and barracks.
(Most 'the time)
You AVOID...
(because you're mindful)
getting caught for trespassing and loitering crimes.
(Sometimes...)
You explore the attic.
(Well, one time.)
And find a trick's treasure trove of magic!
(Naughty pantomime!!)
(Sometimes.)
You and your drunk partner
(At the time.)
trunk the whole haul home...
Sometimes you get bored.
(Several times.)
So you haunt the ruins of Ft. Ord.
(ANY time.)
You cloister the church and barracks.
(Most 'the time)
You AVOID...
(because you're mindful)
getting caught for trespassing and loitering crimes.
(Sometimes...)
You explore the attic.
(Well, one time.)
And find a trick's treasure trove of magic!
(Naughty pantomime!!)
(Sometimes.)
You and your drunk partner
(At the time.)
trunk the whole haul home...

Hell on a Stick Pt. 4: Fine Dining
So anyhow, I'm hungry. I walked miles earlier, probably. I keep my wallet on me and go out into the hall, though I'm not sure what currency they use in hell. Money for the town though, food is free at the motel restaurant. I don't know why Minerva calls it a motel, the place is clearly a full scale hotel. Maybe she liked 'm' over 'h'.
The hallways is exactly like it was earlier, though for the first time I see other room doors lining the hall. The numbers on each door are randomized, seemingly. The ones near me away from the stairs read 9876 and 1888. I peer down the hall and see no end...

To Fly
how i envy you
driving across the plain
with no plan in mind
just driving
and sleeping
and seeing
how i envy you
being brave enough
to cross oceans
alone
so alone
but free
how i envy you
feeling self-assured
walking in the terminal
i can't
i hide
afraid
this one envy
it's something
I can't shake
it's forever inside
itching to get out
more than once a year
driving across the plain
with no plan in mind
just driving
and sleeping
and seeing
how i envy you
being brave enough
to cross oceans
alone
so alone
but free
how i envy you
feeling self-assured
walking in the terminal
i can't
i hide
afraid
this one envy
it's something
I can't shake
it's forever inside
itching to get out
more than once a year
