Do u remember
Telling me to find you
Do u remember telling me the list of names to go thru all another layer of u
Oh it's all in the spelling.... Remember that shit?
Do u remember me telling u. U wouldn't care by then.
I was right
So stfu and let me get on with my life
I realize why u wanted to stay , out of guilt for what u did
You never loved me
You just hoped I would never find out

Rent Strike Information
Are you going to dig your own grave, climb down into it and wait to die, or are you going to fight with every breath for something better for yourself and your children, and your children’s children? If that’s not inspiring, I don’t know what is.
(Disclaimer: There’s no extreme erotica in this piece just extreme political information. Also, if you know what a rent strike is this is not the piece for you.)
I am neither advocating or against a rent strike, I want to explain what it is and why people would advocate a rent strike. I will start by explaining the word:...

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
I never thought that we would never talk again,
But GOD said it was time for you to rest.
It seems just yesterday that we talked and
Joked about the old days when we were close,
And how we should’ve married so long ago.
You never knew back then
Why I had to break it off,
But I realize now we had
Different life journeys to conquer,
Different roads to cross.
I guess it wasn’t meant,
You always be one of my Best Friends,
And always in my heart.
But as fate would have it,
I marriage your childhood friend
Leaving us to be...
But GOD said it was time for you to rest.
It seems just yesterday that we talked and
Joked about the old days when we were close,
And how we should’ve married so long ago.
You never knew back then
Why I had to break it off,
But I realize now we had
Different life journeys to conquer,
Different roads to cross.
I guess it wasn’t meant,
You always be one of my Best Friends,
And always in my heart.
But as fate would have it,
I marriage your childhood friend
Leaving us to be...

A secret no more part 1 of many
This isn't a poem. It isn't a song. It's my words and my thoughts. I am exhausted but yet wide awake. No peace and no bliss because I'm fighting my own self inside. I can't break my reality. I can't change what is true. The past it affects me. The future I can barely even see. See smiles create love but pain is just like rain. When it rains, it pours. And when you cry, you can not stop. We all have our demons. Some were defeated. Some are stronger. And yet some are the same. Because I am my demon. My issues are unfortunate but my mind won't let me out. I'm not depressed nor miserable. I just...

A Letter To Some Dear Friends
A Letter To Some Dear Friends
Dear Sue and Jon (without an H!)
January has been a relatively quiet month so far
Apart from those noisy piano playing vampire mermaids!
They are so so loud
Although not as loud as my clothes!
I don't object to them occasionally nibbling my neck
Naughty mermaids! (ouch! that's not my neck?)
Anyway.... where was i?
Oh yeah, this months okay
Next month i'm dreading
A not so fab February
Two appointments at the Gender clinic
One at the dentist for new fangs!
(then...

An Open Letter To Karen
Every freedom we have was earned by someone else; paid for by their sacrifice. Every innovation, discovery and creature comfort we have as a species has been inherited, and their distribution remains unequal.
Please remember this as the fight against Covid continues...
In Soviet Russia, people had to wait 10 years to buy household appliances in many cases because it was a -crime- to buy basic necessities on the "black market."
In Nazi occupied France, Jews were systematically rounded up and kept in sports stadiums. Older teenagers ate worm-infested rotten food...

Late arrival
Once when I was a little kid, my dad let me ride my bike around the neighborhood by myself. It was the first time I had ventured alone, and I wasn't used to the harrowing streets yet. I peddled all across the sweeping roads, swerving and jerking over the pavement. Taking this turn and that, not caring where I ended up.
Soon enough I ended up at a dead-end after taking to many left turns. This part of the neighborhood was unfamiliar, I had never seen it before. Almost like it didn't exist before I entered it unlocking itself as I peddled along its narrow road.
My mind...

My Book is as Cheap as Amazon Will Allow - here’s why...
All around the world things are tight.
So now I’m taking the least profits
Allowed for my mini-paperback
comedy
And that’s that!

A Purpose
Not everyone values what they have or what the world is lining up together; to simply withhold a powerful impact that'll either become important or irrelevant towards your views.
-We all need to cherish the present; it helps us forget about the past couple of hours by pushing against our waists; to blossom over time and sprout amongst the trees.
It'll be one tough act but i know, I've got the courage; to take on any beating...
I have my eyes locked looking straight - forward; leaving no room for me to anticipate over this new chapter.
My views are set;
my values are...

giving up smoking: the ritual
this heart throws itself into an architecture that
once was...
whatever it may have been:
now... a "slacking" off-shoot of a pyramid:
piled up as such... but: a stagnant heap
of rubble...
i have to dare to call it a heart...
a heart will be content with such matters...
a hill of rubble or a glistening pyramid / sun-dail...
but the mind:
if it's a cube... and it is a kabaah...
would the ottoman mind it
being precious... when he sights his envy
of the hagia sophia?

two days compounded
yesterday's completion - 2 gratis: 1
yes... cold-turkey for a day...
the one will do it...
i just smoked a second one...
and the "hit" is not as benevolent...
simple arithmetic...
a carton is 200 cigarettes...
that's 200 days...
if i stick to this "pattern"...
no pointless cigarettes...
with coffee first thing in the morning:
on the medical "fast"...
after a grand meal...
cold-turkey throughout the day...
one balanced with a generous
amount of bourbon: surfing
the night-cap...
this could work... ...
