Ma said "Wake up son good morning"
I rolled out of bed greeted mama with a yawn then
Paused to scratch an itch and went down to the kitchen
Fixed a plate of eggs and bacon glass of OJ Simpson
Just as I was about to dig in
A thought jumped in my

Hollywood is little more than a glitzy tourist trap
Angelinos know the movies are made in Burbank
Or Vancouver
Or Sydney
Or anywhere where the dollar is more elastic

Hollywood has become an excuse to act the fool
Angelinos know that trust fund kids don't work
Or go to public schools
Or go to

You curse me from high

In your palace of air

Forsaken because of a taste

And giving in to the enemy

Man is no creature of fortitude

Imperfected in this underworld

The mirror’s reflection

Boom!

-

The fireworks go...

Red white and blue.

-

Sulfur cloud shadows

Linger in the raining glitter...

-

Psssssshhhhhhhh

Pop!

-

Golden static crackle

Ambly floating to the ground.

-

Poof green

Glimmer pink

Sizzle.

-

Exploding purple milky ways

-

Brought to the summit of freedom drums

You would write too

if you found the pen

in your hand.

You'd pencil the countours

if your grip allowed.

You'd sing

if your voice permitted.

The ears don't matter

their deaf.

You'd sing for you.

You'd sing

when they said you couldnt.

The ears don't matter.

The eyes are blind.

Your voice

Open Hands Facing North

My guilt fills empty hands

with a stiff hesitation.

Yes means no

in this stained utopia

of dreams reflective mirrors.

You.

A poor man walking

in the confines of your

moth ridden pockets.

Your drive and heart parallel.

Get up. Move.

Fortune basks in misfortune.

I'll fill your hands when 

they display the cuts and

My smokey dream.

A monochrome drawn backdrop.

Wayward ideas filter

through the formations

of Dunhill clouds.

The worn pages stained

with VSOP.

My heart pours parallel

to the pungent elixir

now dancing inside of me.

The inspirations here

within these smoke stained walls.

Shimmering off the 

splintered floorboards.

The darkness paints the light

No dessert please

I'm in a rush.

Waive the bill

I'm broke.

Clear my exit

Let's shed this suitability.

I'm a fucking jet plane

with itchy palms

and a fear of hand dryers.

Hand me a Mayfair

I wish to quit again.

Bollocks to your exits

I'm going through the

You my dear you weave your web so well
You found your moment to cast your spell
You took my dreams and promised them real
You my dear you weave your web so well.

You my dear are the perfect seamstress
You chose your fabric

'Unwanted' Ramblings (Summer in Spring).

Do you remember that summer in spring?
Do you? I Do.
Those glorious days within the sunshine
With the April showers outside
I remember telling you there were rainbows in your eyes.
I could not see your eyes
Not at that time not in that

I will

Sit by your bed side

Holding your hand after an attempted suicide.

I will

Make sure your Grandma is comfortable

When she’s dying.
