Flood
& When I set up, sit down,
To write the next great American short story.
I have a drink,
Strictly to get the juices flowing.
& when the river halts, I flood it.
& when the dam bursts & putting paper to pen went in vain,
I celebrate my humanness.

Jumper
“The only way you’d fall is if you jumped.”
That’s why you’re afraid of ledges
Because a tiny part of you wants to jump.
And you fear that man inside your head,
Telling you how easy life would finally be.
But I dangle off the ledge, because I’m not afrai...

Mental Illness
Ahh..
I love the idea of
Reading.
The author.
I’ve only read half of
The Bell Jar, but yet
I love Sylvia Plath.
The more you read of someone
The less you can romanticize about them
Except for Bud Light & Bukowski,
I’d rather keep their words inked to page....

Drive Home
& what if our lives are nothing but a figment
Of someone else’s imagination
Our individual lives are all another individual’s dream
Everyone thinks they are unique though
Esoteric though
I wrote this at a red traffic light ...

Glasses
When I was a kid, I got glasses.
I chose not to wear them though.
I did not want to see the world as it truly was.
Did not want to see who was reflected
in the mirror.
My pockmarked friends;
Every broad looked flawed,
#
I hid them in my cluttered closet,
And I rejoiced, reveling i...

$1
My life is like a one dollar bill
Collecting small victories and
Being built into a wad of
Cash. All singles for
All confidence is false.
When one expenditure, one setback sits itself
Upon me, I am flush
Beaten and broke.

RawDanny
& I was watching youtube videos by RawSammi
& She was boring me and so
I envisioned my own world
I first thought , how nice it would be
If I had the disposable income to
Tear my house apart, everytime mania hit
Throw lamps threw walls and tv’s out windows.
And then a second thought invaded me
Flooded through me, How lucky I was!
I envisioned what my ...

Tyler Durden
& I was staring and glaring
Glazed over and
Staring still
At my bright computer screen.
I blinked with force!
& she appeared before me
A subliminal message
Slipped into my subconscious vision
Ahh…but she was too slow!
I saw her this time round,
In a chair she sat
Slicing her wrist she was

Internal Compromise of an Under-Edukated Narcissist
And I think the nighttime brings about
Promise. In all of us,
Right?
We are all going to compromise,
Capitulate…take that sub-par job; but
Morning comes and
Morning sun run through us, and
We are enlightened, inside as well and
Believe through much narcissism that we can,
And deserve much gre...

Sobriety
Sneeze in my face and wish me health, wealth & happiness.
Through hell, I will find Heaven
For God has already blessed me
I am alive once again.
Amen.

Deaf
And it’s the peace.
When the shower water rains,
And the shampoo invades ear canals
Blocking them.
Deafening me.
Hearing only muffled rainforest
Rain
And soft rock music
For in deafness, I am finally free.

Twilight
But, what happened to the, you & me?
Babe,
It used to be…you & me
Now alone
I reach out to you,
Tell you I’ve changed.
But you’ve found another…
Didn’t you know, you were supposed to wait for me?
Alone & without a meaningful bone,
All too famil...

Hapless
No, not literary literature
There are few hidden meanings.
For why make you work further,
You’re already reading to escape
From your ordinary life, to my, object
I do not feel the need to cup breasts and fondle flamingos in order to analyze intelligence
Re-read and scrutinize me, for you will find nothing
In the recessed gardens of this straight f...
