I went out to write about happiness
Because my poems only ran black and white.
To find color I went outside
And as I observed everything around me
There were no smiles
Except for one lone child.
She runs jumps and shrieks with glee
And I can’t help but grin

Bored as hell
I wish I had a lover
in this dire time of need
To stop me
from hating me
To prevent me
from condemning me
To halt me
from mutilating me
Where are you?
Mon amant
I await you patiently
My heart cries out in frustration
I lack the

The man who will fly
Stare the eagle in his eye
Take the air's breath
Kill the master of death
And remove the defaced
From birth I have been placed
As the destroyer of these kings
I soar on broken wings
Can you feel the rain?
The sorrow the pain
Fire overcomin

On rivers flowing in dissolving directions
Slow and warm fast and cold swirling and sifting
Some rivers flow under skies

He watches you
when you're not looking
Apollo's muse
Calliope's child
His Father is the Sun
His Mother--the Moon
Always holding out
He wants it soon
Tangible to the finger's touch
He talks to you
when you're not talking
He chases you
when you're not following
Orpheus knows
the best is yet to come

Touch me.
You.
Touch me.
You.
Move me.
You.
Take my hips! Take my shoulders! Take my voice!
Run through me.

brushing my teeth I
hear her chanting
to her cell.
“Hi this is Brittany. Please leave a message.”
She deletes and records again.
“Hi this is Brittany. Please leave a message.”
It sounds the same to me but she tries
again again

as morning’s light licks your eyelids.
“i killed the monster ” you say.
“i killed the monster.”
fully awake you explain your dream—
the monster chasing you—
its bleeding eyes—
fleeing up the fire escape—
it follows—
you warn it—
you say “i don’t want to hurt you!”—
it comes—

Tormented by hubrists
object-sexuals in sight
soulless psyches
born festering in factory lines
human-like machines embedded with multiplying adding subtracting dividing
beautiful androids
devoid of emotion
incapable of discerning
a culture of rapidity lunacy and implosion
conforming to one point of view
internally corroding and stolid
Tell me what is the

In his head one can hear:
"Me! Me! Me!"
Alternates need never apply
His identity is important--though vastly impertinent--
Superior to the inferiors that flock to worship him as
He gazes into the pool
Admiring his own reflection whilst
calling to his followers--who he pities
for their ugliness--he alone he thinks wisest
