Sweet Reprieve
I’ve done a number on a few
I’ve been deep down in the swells of my sins
And those waves touch the beauty that surrounds me
It seems useless, to change if you’ve learned to exist in a miserable way
Patterns pave a way back home
To where it all began
Nothing but mess, and the remains of a past time
It rots like any other dead body
It reeks at my doorstep
Let their tears fall!
They’re coming with
guns and knives to
tear my skin apart
I hold secrets in the crevices of my heart
I’ve cut a piece or two myself, to...

Anastasia Brielle
Anastasia Brielle (an unhyphenated compound first name)
liked to criticize what others ordered for dinner
Steak? She'd rather eat the box her toe-FOO come in
(that's how she pronounced it)
Whenever I was in a restaurant with Anastasia Brielle
I'd order things like bacon cheeseburgers
even when I had been eyeing the vegetarian chili.
Anastasia Brielle (not her real name, but close)
also liked to talk about the horrors of slaughterhouses
even though exactly no one
wanted to hear it.
And though I am mindful of having a number of...

Everybody
Every woman is fragile
If they won’t admit it
publicly or privately
They are broken
I’ve lived with both
That’s how I know
Protect the one
Drop the other
Every man is vain
If they won’t admit it
publicly or privately
They are self-absorbed
I’ve worked with both
This is how it should go
Pay the one
Fire the other
Every person is a bank account
If they won’t admit it
publicly or privately
They are not balanced
I've transacted with both
And just so you know
One makes...
If they won’t admit it
publicly or privately
They are broken
I’ve lived with both
That’s how I know
Protect the one
Drop the other
Every man is vain
If they won’t admit it

They are self-absorbed
I’ve worked with both
This is how it should go

Loving the Lamppost _ with “Adagio”
Their world painted in shadows void of emotions
a gladiator of narcissist placenta dangling
on a decaying umbilical, idolized by fools
pampered and spoiled by the embryos of insanity
behind a firewall of debauchery, self-contained
from their own Cuckoo clock...half-baked
Manitou of inebriated veins gaslighting a lamppost
molding their faces and drawing a smile
to cover the rotting grudge that lies behind
it’s second nature, like taking a breath
looking down on you with a folie de grandeur
thinking they’re someone else ...

Queen for a day, fool for a lifetime
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a hug
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That obnoxious girl" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable...

Narcissus
Akin to a peacock, prancing gracefully,
With a dazzling allure
That blinded the besotted eyes,
Looking upon them with disdain.
Smitten with his own image,
When the pool cast back his charm,
He pined away, sunken in vanity,
Sprouted the Narcissus flower
From his self-consumed, seedless soul.
With a dazzling allure
That blinded the besotted eyes,
Looking upon them with disdain.
Smitten with his own image,

Sprouted the Narcissus flower

Vanity
Power to the people who see through the lie
Some of us know that it’s merely a parlor trick
Taxes fuel frustration choking out the little guy
Resulting in more money for that wealthy prick
It seems the rest of the population remain lost
Making choices difficult while feeding insanity
Looking in the mirror reveals what choices cost
Realizing we live in a world that caters to vanity

The Shaggy D.A.
Famous MAGA piece of shit Gaetz
reminds us to be wise with votes
lest we wind up with reprobates
shaming daughters with shameless gloats,
which speak to his priorities,
for underage activism...
as merely bro proclivities
for ill suited public jism,
of which the citizens have heard
enough to think his word absurd
and that he is the biggest turd
to ever chase a teenage bird...
and if he could she'd be his slave
leftover from a MAGA rave.

Private Jets
Private jets
And chemtrails
Flying first class
45 minutes to my house
1 percent carbon footprint
132 times more than you
Caviar and silk robes
Paid for by your local mailman
Billions and billions
Can’t wrap my mind around
But they leave the check for the rest of us
And tweet about bullshit
They think is important
But not in my world
Have a birthday of decadence
Jet set to opulence
Must be nice for a peasant
Close as you get
Be their servant
Pick up...

Brooklyn's Last Exit
Gang rape America is here to stay
proudly declared by each sick MAGA vote
influenced by meme mechanical rote
all the storm trooper night and half the day.
So now our boys can fuck the MAGA way
or grab some Hollywood Access tail
to fuck on a third political rail
just to find out what the homies will say
since nothing matters to the MAGA mind
where..."sucks to be you"...always plays through.
(We can't have their precious balls turning blue
when a hard working dude needs to unwind).
Just find someone...
