lengthy strides in
seemingly random direction

no longer asking any stupid questions
a linear plane to slide on top of

i'd really like to get to know you
but not tonight, dear. lost inside a bottle

some reputable men sent me this way
functioning on a tenet of pure temptation

guise of monsters
i'm smiling because nothing matters

i said something like
tell me about it, bud

before he even opened his mouth
a small eternity had already passed

i knew what he was going to say
i knew what we would always say

nothin' really changes too much
his mouth formed a sound, finally

pull the bar back down a tad
when sawdust becomes like stardust

journies of the quantifiable,
bored musings not even worth recording.
like having one's arm tied maybe

the audacious spirit
writhing away somewhere.
or hiding in some long shadows

and the past lives on.
just floating around, incoherent.
like a mean, dumb specter

there's a fruit fly
in my whiskey glass

while you sit there
sharpening your nails to points

smiling
i drink the whiskey

But if we are steadfast/
guts and glory.
IMPORTANCE IS
JUST A MATTER
OF PERSPECTIVE

all of them behaving
the way we should.
like
sharks meandering,
in random direction.

i can last for centuries

hanging on like this.
ribs protruding out
of the water,
like the bottom
of an overturned ship.

fingers slide across
skin, surfaces

underbred, overprivileged
i can't stand you

a sun behind your head
a halo, ghostly

superseded again
teeth fall out / spine melt

i'm
not saying goodbye

mother

ambassadors,
shedding

the kid came at me:

soft creeping with
the arms raised

in a back and forth
dance creep step, slow

you know the kind,
old horror film

the little fucker
loved every second

trying to scare me

grinning his little
halloween face

i didn't really want any onions
but i chopped some up anyway
and threw them all over
the meat frying up

it feels like i'm preparing
something, doing
something good. something
you're supposed to do

Sometimes you have to throw yourself into the wolves. Just close your eyes or smile a little bit.

individual flakes of wood
all glued together, pressed;
forming something new.

bordom and embarassment
realizing you're just waving
at yourself.

there has been a significant
loss of quite a few years.
hidden under a thick layer.

imagine walking through heavy
forest. thick wet undergrowth.
legs brushing against ferns.

i live with a small predator,
whom i feed daily.
she knows to look at my face.

i haven't slept since august.
sky growing heavy,
and the moss is cold underfoot.

there are too many people here.
impossible to be noticed.
"hello" i wave. dust flies everywhere.

an old coffee can
full of nails
in the garage

i keep shoving
cigarettes under the
bathroom door

and it makes you
laugh

cowardice and
or consequence

neither seem to have
much tenure

that old wood
trimmed with

old brass that
was too cold to

touch - i found you
just laying there

that night
it was so cold

tiny subsystems
artifacts of old love

a bird in a shoebox,
carried through the woods.
digging under rocks.

collecting found ribbons,
and metal pieces
in gutters.

not so hidden fort,
tied with twine and
tree branches; stump chair.

he does all this,
because he is just a boy.
