I enjoy that awkward

dance

two humans perform

when they collide

on the concrete stage

of a sidewalk.

They shift to the right

and shift to the left

while their cheeks turn into

pomegranates.

God I love that awkward

dance

that two beautiful humans

"Nobody cares nobody cares"
  • The voice inside my head repeats and repeats
  • "Nobody cares nobody cares"
  • Peoples actions and words say different but all I hear is
  • "Nobody cares nobody cares"
  • I want to turn it off
  • Keep it silent
  • Make it but a noise in the background

    Look at me getting delivered at the hospital

    That’s me just sitting on my bike because I couldn’t pedal

    There goes my prom and my sweet sixteen party

    That’s me in college acting drunk and rowdy

    There’s a farmhouse in the valley
    Set in the shade of swaying pine
    Where the morning sunshine glistens in the dew
    There’s a family round the table
    Two kids you and I
    It’s a lovely dream if only it were true.

    But the farmhouse burnt down last summer
    And the crops have failed again

    If you’re looking for a sign

    of whether you’re on

    the right path

     

    or making

    the proper decision

     

    look for a rainbow

    or a clover of four leaves.

     

    But know this

    Into this constant state of weariness I step
    where I am what I've chosen and all my tabs are kept.
    A gaudy costume I wear and polished gadgets in my sight
    awake early to hear the sparrow's song no longer am I a creature of the night.
    A career a life a man

    Lady Jane

    Lady Jane has another pearl waiting for me.
    'Focus your mind ' she says 'and I will teach you to believe.'
    Trust is what I seek ' I screamed; laughing deep inside.
    'Lady Jane my pearl please I know all the places you hide.'

    'Your pearl why?'

    watch yourself watching yourself
    lips forming around words
    but like a silent film you don't hear a thing
    because everyone knows
    that the only permanent things are the ones
    we build we scribe with our hands
    and the only way a voice really matters
    is if it's disembodied from the man

    Strolling beneath the fiery willows

    a shattered smile a broken heart.

    Her tears fall like broken glass.

    A plastic knife a dripping dart.

    -

    And there you sit

    dumbfounded and smoldering

    your eyes running from the smoke.

    -

    They won’t get far the flames are fast.

    A startled cough a hurried choke.

    Left there after all the words from my head were said...
    Satisfaction brought slumber and my pen

    For Evan. My Inspiration.

    Chaos.

    Most avoid it but often times you have to run into it head on in order to find true happiness. Within the chaos of life are bright shining rays of light which encompass the most important things this world has to offer. Within chaos are the most mystically magical feelings
