you're all such fucking amateurs
you start the shit, but then get hurt
play the game, grow up a little
life is hard, you cant be brittle
and in the moments, when it gets really hard
you'll be able to look down and see your scars
all the shit that you've gone through
memories that might still hurt you
the people who deserted you
in times of need, when you were down
but that's just life, i've come to know
it's easier if you go
like the wind blows
just know that you have overcome
everything until this point
you are strong, you are yourself
you will win this game
Are we...a knot?
The coiled marriage between ends of a single, solitary string?
I ask this simply because I often wonder if the tips of my shoelaces think themselves alone.
Individuals weathering the whims of some bowlegged giant?
And if we are, what kind?
A noose?
A slipknot, seemingly together and cleverly designed to fall through at realization?
Even before we met, were knotted, if you will,
Rather like quantum entanglement,
Our ends moved, move, in conjunction,
Our branches swaying to the same same winds,
Our planets sharing the same moon
In a cosmic intimacy typically reserved for
Gravitational waltzes and subatomic jazz.

Acid in a Movie Theater
Her warm soul, inky with curiosity, peered at me with sentient, breathing eyes. Her soul beckoned to me, seductively, calling out over the black, blood-warm lake of oblivion. She whispered into the fiery chasms of my being, her voice echoing and shaking against the paper-thin walls of my existence like torn sails in a maelstrom. My naked heart shuddered in the silence, the sounds of its wet machinery raggedly laboring against your still-ringing roar clattering the still waters of the deep. I heard the muffled groans of massive, sleeping behemoths, rolling over, roused, long forgotten in the dusty vaults of time.
And in that instant Bravery
i have a tendency, it seems
to write when inspiration strikes me;
in my pocket on a note-card, hidden away
from public, peering eyes, safely guarded
always close by.
if
at random happenstance i stumble
back upon it's crumpled form
reading my crudely scrawled hand; deign
to rewrite it fresh, methodically
into a place i keep the things i might
someday want to find.
it is not by any chance
and certainly not providence
that i have a tendency,
to always scrap the old
and usher in the new.
it's blood replacing dew on morning blades
of grass, and tears replacing the rain outside your window
inside your heart, inside your home
where it was once safe, but it isn't
anymore.
it's "goodbye" replacing conversations and text
messages replacing true love; it's only buying flowers
if someone dies, because doorsteps and romance
aren't worth it.
it's crappy poetry replacing talent
because anyone with a brain abandoned art
long ago and are focusing their energy
on important things like how to get off
this shit-hole excuse for a planet
