Nine
I remember my first act of violence
outside of the home that is
I just wanted to feel what it was like to win
so I prayed upon the weak
I don't remember feeling anything
but there were lessons
witnesses reported my crime and
punishment soon followed
A few well placed words and alligator
tears found my sentence commuted
under the noses of the gullible
I learned there is always a way out
I was nine years old
outside of the home that is
I just wanted to feel what it was like to win
so I prayed upon the weak
I don't remember feeling anything
but there were lessons
witnesses reported my crime and
punishment soon followed
A few well placed words and alligator
tears found my sentence commuted
under the noses of the gullible
I learned there is always a way out
I was nine years old

Some Cure
I could, I could point
to all the sweet nothings
until you’re not the nerves
of that void that you can’t feel
beyond Fingertips Ct.
signs staked in the t-folds: “Dead End”
If I would, I could handle
your prophecy in test tubes
each bubbles newborn:
|Abstract||Pinch-able||Impossible|
and you’ll sit in all of the waiting rooms
twiddling for the pH balance of headlines
A tower shown has a trickle-down
scene of falling hands in versions
of the rain, snow, the...

Come and See
I’m the dimly lit alley,
the grit born of the sidewalks and
asphalt, an uneasy feeling, a city breeze
that whispers something bad is going
to happen

You're A Psychopath
You can walk on by and I'll do the math
I think there's an even chance, you're a psychopath
For in my mind's eye, your insanity's cemented
Your actions and demeanour are clearly demented
Your aura's vile and your soul's pernicious
Your flailing fists and feet are naught but vicious
Maybe you were goaded and took the bait
Or maybe you're an evil vassal, fuelled by hate
I don't know you, I don't know who you are
Just keep your distance, be away and far
For though your victim's memory might be hazy
There's no doubt, that...

Gentle Nell
This is an excerpt from a book I'm writing. Any feedback on things like the readability of prose and enjoyability will be greatly appreciated!
Nellie Gibson was known as "Gentle Nell" in the same manner of irony that allowed for enormous men to be called "tiny". She was, in truth, a nigh-on lunatic, though until recent months, collected enough to lead a band of criminals through several escapades. Her lieutenant was a man called Morris, who sometimes, on looking at her, wondered if she'd ever taken a man to her bed and pitied any that she had. She was not a...

Sex and violence
The paradoxical bipolarity of sex
amuses me to the point of giddy
supplication, playfully begging for a
taste of that sweet pink tenderness
undulating beneath me
It amazes me in the yin and yang
of it, the commingling of soft and hard,
gentle warm breath with suckling soft
as butterfly kisses and tongue swirls
that light a clit on fire
Or the pounding thrusts of pelvic
slamming while hands squeeze the
neck with strength and the authority
of control, a duality of dominance
and submission
I would be...

Teaching Survival
Teaching survival on the 700 club
Hear someone saying
Jesus wears a vest
Have to teach the kids
How to duck and run
Are you fucking serious
Hiding behind the Bible
Instead of addressing
Our gun problem
So now religion is teaching gun violence
Or hiding under desks
Instead of addressing
The real nut of our times
If I have to teach my kid
To take precautions
Just because of gun violence
Seems like I lost before I began
How about tackling the ...

Orange Felon
Orange Felon
As the story goes
It was 4 years ago
An orange felon with a pen
Wiped away all their sins
Cops were beaten down
With flagpoles bear spray and batons
Now those criminals go free
Where is the justice for the we
The police endorsed an orange felon
I don’t hear any outrage from them
I guess it’s ok if your on the orange side
If your not you must abide by the guide
Not even one day in the White House
As Elon gives a Roman salute not once but twice
Proud boys and...
