lil paradigm shifts and christmas cards with glitter
muppets suck muppenises
Always wanting to be alone
With all these funny strings
On my fingers
It’s not that hard really
To be so vain
Faking self assured
One step ahead at most
Then no one tries
To call you out
Asshole puppeteers aren’t smart
Stop feeding them
The minute they glance
Down miles of fishing lines
At the marionettes that smile
All the fucking time
They fantasize about all those van doors closing at once too soon
And hope they can’t reattach
Mend or even graft a single
Midas touch wand to their hand
That does absolutely nothing
Perfectly
Then people clap and the lights turn on
And they go home
They watch the news
And eat ham with their kids
Just like their parents did before
And their grandchildren will do just the same
Just a little better than the puppeteer
And that is more than enough
Even rag dolls on lanyard can dream
To pull the strings
Over and over until it seems
Unrehearsed, genius some say
But it is really not a talent
To stop giving a shit
(unless you practiced so hard)
I lost my way with words.

ignoring the content
Exploding release the only difference among us is where we get our piece/peace and the disagreements are virulent and the passion is real and to deny that theres truth is just spinning your wheels to pick no part in discussion just sit by the side, declare no ones right well then fine just keep quiet I want no part in your sophistic shit that you squat out roll in get a diploma for it id rather you told me you just wanna see tits theres no wheels spinning there no self conscious despair
only a lack which is honest and damned unaware
The struggle and shove every one needs what only a few have and they bumble above and below the issue with words that flip out and drop to their feet the special words the slightest move the stretch and the slide the mating ritual gone civilized like fencing with pins that stick in our dolls and supplies are running low and the barbarians are at the gates but now only the monks are safe! everyone else is everyones parent dumped in the pot and we melt into our children but the vat smells of blood lines swept and useless sweat the half of the human that never copied itself but more importantly never binded itself and was made whole but was only man or only woman just a kiss seeking aimless and sometimes hieros but never a gamos they were fated to want to their crooked marrow so nobly thought built to futility if by a deity then there lies the tragedy truest inthe stretch and the slide
our mating ritual so civilized

Furious flailing between line and white page exacerbates anger do not call it rage you would only exact the perilous extraction drawn to the scent of my putrefaction
The push and the pull when its all in the mind and you thought that you’d think well that’s where you went wrong thinking about thought is the last thing you should think, I thought you knew i thought you knew what it meant when you look in the depths and see only yourself well here I am spelling it out in words dripped from a pen from a finger cut finger short circuiting my keyboard to be on equal terms with my head
Despair is so dated well damn maybe if I were despair instead of just in it I’d get some of that action but how much creation can flow from negation when a soul is see through and the thoughts about thinking are doubtful where does a drive fit in, truth is the drives take their eponymous seat and the sins are whats in the simple stupid drives you deeper down that road in a hunter s thompson night where its always las vegas and youre never not high on some new medication released by your brain but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s whats called insane
personally in terms of work to reward i think these come out better than my more formal stuff, it at least cuts a bit a on my constant pretension but my tendency towards random rhyme remains no matter how fast i type.

An ember sits dying on the ground
I said it couldn’t have been my mine
The cigarette said otherwise
I didn’t press the point the pressure did that itself
And kept oh so quiet when its responsibility was clear
I walked into the kitchen and saw the mouse run his wheel
His circle wasn’t perfect but then his couldn’t kill
At least ours was intentional and such a good thrill
The same as the sinner who takes pills till he pales
My first kiss is always an overdose and nothing but thrill
Someone shoulda said we don’t all have the same scales
My balance remains broken like my hometown’s hills
Now I’m lying in a bed only I could have made
And it’s literal and figurative and oh so unkempt
But that’s the die he cast when He gave us our will
Every face in a crowd a walking, talking bet
Some say if anyone cleans up, its the Devil
Lord knows my will just wastes and wets
And we run on the wheel and we say that its fate
The truth is fates the metal
Ours is the gait
We choose the speed and trip
When we see a rung too far
Mine might come when I enter a bar
But don’t blame the drink, when I do
We all oughta know by now its not true
Guns don’t kill people, people do
