Fight Song

2011-04-08T04:18:00.000-07:00

hey motherfuckers with all the gold
you see us suffer yet you withhold
you could do better and turn the tides
you feed us hate and loads of lies
the human voice is getting louder
and our disdain grows every hour
elite consensus, fuck your dome!
here comes your ROME!

Airport Breakfast

2011-03-15T11:24:00.000-07:00

full of lust
full of breakfast
sweaty palms
jet-setting eyes on the prize

imperialists comrades
capitalists partners
self-appointed, and self-important
how I am supposed to cut their hearts out with this stupid plastic knife?

haunted by questions
life full of desires unmet
time slips by like a train full of graffiti
each car the same and unique

good morning earth
good morning humans
good morning all you gods and devils

new york hangover
repeat and roll over
panties on the subway tracks
passed over for popcorn by the rats

there’s a killer in the room
look close, and act fast
you’re getting old, and slow
no more pats on the back

sometimes I just watch people walk around
I wonder what makes them want to try or give up
I wonder if they are unconvinced like me
that consciousness can grow randomly

is all the unfairness of life just our expression
that we’re frustrated we can not personify or destroy uncertainty
that we can not be sure if we’ve correctly assembled
everything that we’ve perceived and conjured

Nonsense

2011-03-15T11:23:00.000-07:00

I’m looking out through these eyes like I’m trapped in here
As though my body were holding another, smaller version of myself, deep inside
And the hardest part is that I can not say that this has not always been the case

Sometimes, I even fight tears back when I think about who I am
Not because I’m lacking or unsavory, but because I am captive, to fear
Fear of something that I never been face to face with, even when facing death

If you have seen or heard these words, you are beginning to know me
The question will become, do you want to, and if so, why?
I have no answers, only questions

This catalog of stories I can tell, using various faces and tones
Are not me, and they are not true, these stories are only how I found myself
Inside here, and I am simply trying to be free from the lie, that there is a truth

It's what you wrote on the cold window
The memory of your breath
The spirit inside you
That keeps me coming back

A field of white in sheets
Like snow that comes too soon
Your ghostly figure drifting
With sassy cap of brune

I won't deny your kisses
They are the ones that make me weak
The knees, the arms, desire
Burning, wilting like a wick

Sit here and I will cover you
In confectionery love
I have so much, to treasure you
Feels capital within

Eat from this, my Apple
Take extra for the heart
If we in fact become what's eaten
We'll never be apart

It's never like the first time
No new feelings this time around
Just new faces

We can go around in circles
But the glow was burning brightest
The first time this ride came through

Putting all this life of loving
In a zip-loc with a date
Written carefully in permanent
By the loving hand of fate

Unicycle

2007-12-20T10:20:00.000-08:00

It's never still in the thought spaces anymore.
As if all my synapses were trying to create brain butter.
Cataloging, filing, and recompiling.

I'm versioning.

Squashing bugs, and future-proofing my new trajectory.
I'm all about interfacing, and becoming adaptable.
Making new parts of out old ones.

Having meltdowns.

Sifting through the pretentious and un-useful for the gold.
Like a mental case of embryonic eugenics.
I have day dreams of off shoring my personal development.
I practice making perfection, and I don't even believe in it.
I'm a cycle, a unicycle.

A traveling experiment of love.

Begging for oil, as I squeak by you... hardly un-noticed.

Flying Invisible

2007-12-20T10:18:00.000-08:00

She came to me like a dream
Like flying, or being invisible
The landscape is uneven
With hills and valleys

Everywhere I rest is peaceful
In the highest rapture
And the calmest quiet
I am not afraid, at all

Like new life, I examine
Seeking familiarity in her
But she is different now
And changing still

Her soul is like melting ice
Becoming lucid energy
Like a liquid pixie
Pouring over me

Stealing my breath
With paralyzing pleasure
Washing off the wear
Sealing up the tare

She asks for nothing
Yet she is worthy
I ask for nothing
But am deserving

Sleepless, and at work
I break promises to myself
To not create stasis
To hold her, for myself

What Becomes

2007-12-20T10:13:00.000-08:00

What becomes will forever be
The unknown a specter wanted
Every etching of your face
Like single armies blitzing death

For not a mile of road
Or the shallowest breath
Taken from the highest mountain
Will remind me what I've forgotten

Remove the dagger
Let life's crimson paste
Unglue you

While it fills this empty space
I will come woo you

Not a step closer, she shrieks
Caught short by an impulse to bite
And curl, like a lover lost
In memorialized sin

Even now there is a man
Erecting something, for another
With whom he will lose favor
But the eyes of his lover are like morning
To him

Ever new, and
Ever true

And this is what becomes, and so it is
Dear lover

Souvenir

2007-12-01T13:06:00.000-08:00

No place to put you
Swagger to and fro
I like being rocked
But wish you could know

What’s burnin me
When I’m around you
What’s got my eye
That I can’t see through

Toss me that look
I’m catching cold
No place to put you
So I’m told

Gave you up
But I cuddle one or two
Memories, like a
Souva fuckin’ enir
