it's easy to say I might
cause in this house of glass I try
but my words melt away
and form a stone on my face
a fear a lie
in this storm of rage and fear
the silence stabs between my ears
it's too late to speak
I'm still here on my

Why are you such a dick I say?
To impress girls so you can get laid?
Or are you just a douchebag at heart?
Who must be better and play every part?

Ideas bounce around like a pinball machine
Random racking up points with each bumper hit
Some dude is talking so much
And the strange girl is spitting out responses like a broken sprinkler head
What are we doing?
Seriously

As soon as you
stop fucking about
we can work.
Find your respect
and ill return your keys.
The smokes cleared now
but nothings clearer
apart from the exits
but their always clear.
Ill use those when
the world ends
alongside the rest of
the dream chasers.
For now
find me by the meditating monk.

It will get worse
before it gets better.
Yes.
But then it will
get worse again.
Wishful Thinking.
Elementary my dear.
The bottomless pit
doest end
but it does have
rest stops.
Temporary calm
before commencing
your big descent.
A pessimist or a realist?
Too often asked.

may my ghost cast no shadow
may the years become your friends
and if you linger where you can't go
to rest until your spirits mend
and if I leave before the sunrise
don't make yesterday your home
somewhere out beyond the big skies
beyond the blood and sticks and stones

You and I
Bare faces branded in our truth
Raw lies cut loose in our eyes
Can’t hide from
You

You think me a fool?
But are not all?
So why do you choose now to enlighten me?
Have you deemed necessary the twisted fingers of your rhetoric
To unbraid my hair?
To allow it the first taste of the wind's kisses?
Is this so you may feel the jagged edge of power
To be

“Not good enough” she said.
“You’ll always have to deal with that”
And as I look at her
Confused offended and on the verge of tears…
“Feeling like that” she says…

The first time my mother ran away
she took us with her.
We went north deep into rain-choked Massachusetts
until we collapsed heaving in a bed and breakfast
whose lobby had giant stone vases larger than I was
painted in diamonds
painted in black diamonds.

He was always so calm
And she always played so coy.
But there was rough waters churning
The storm was right there beneath the surface
Just waiting...
He had been bitter
And she had been broken
The sharp glass shards cutting into her arms

I hope somebody steals your cat
And runs off with your dog
Hope your parakeet flies away
Happy Valentine’s Day
Hope some guy lifts your credit card
And runs up your debt
Hope he leaves you nothing but a dime
Happy Valentines
