And I Salute

What the hell people?
What is it you think you
Are going to find?
Wisdom?
Knowledge?
Pain?
Pleasure?
Perhaps everything and nothing
Significant
Yes, that is what you're after
Is it not?
You're all a bunch of
Massochists
And
I
Salute
You!

As You

She still had that
Dollar store smell
As she stepped
On the gas
And hauled ass
Towards
Mexico
I tried to stop her
But what for?
I could not come up
With a valuable reason
So
Now I have joined her
And now
We're in Mexico City
Drinking tequila
Eating enchiladas, rice, beans, corn
Corn chips dipped in the spiciest salsa
Ever made
And now
I think to myself
Why doesn't everyone
Do what we do?
Why must anyone witness
The changing seasons
Without knowing
Why they change?
Fear is no excuse
Beauty is not the recluse
You must know
That none of us were meant
To be
Shoved into
Cubicles, titles, positions
We are Life
We are
All
Alive
' and now I bid you adieu
And now
The sun sets
As passionately
As
You

Overnight

Making
fortunes
Overnight
Subtle
Plight
Begins its
ugliness
and she licks
underneath
her own
Arms
because
they resemble
Clones
of cubic
Ice Cream
Cones
I liked
best
When we both
Ran
Ran
From morbid
Dialects
Even when it meant
Smashing through
ignorance
and strength
Anger abounds
Yes
Just as
she slipped off
her tight, mechanical
Dress
All cosmic
Cataclysm
Seemed
That much more
Essential
, we slipped
Kissed

Don't Worry About Being Right

Don't worry about being right. Just shine your Light.

Bluest

Bluest sky
Look up
and
Fathom
what it takes
to create such
Ritualistic
Narcissism
Cough
Choke
Gag
Run
Into solid caves
There is no
Escape from
Toxic
Oxygen
Look up
You
Careless
People!
Look!
Fine
...
Fine
Don't look
but don't blame
Me
When we all
Die of
Noxious
Gases
(sky shall remain blue)

Long Every

Slow Days
create
Argumentative
Analogies
Slow Nights
cause
Subtle
alienations
with all the sweat
with all the regret
We require
to remember
what it means
To be oh so
Humanistic
and sometimes
liquor
is just not
the solution
, if it were
there'd be stores
giving it away!
It is all
A Cluster
a jigsaw allegory
But
We allow it
'cuz
to deny it
would mean
Denying
every
Slow Day
every
Slow Night
as well as
Every
Long
Fight

Need Bread

Do you need bread? Do any of us need bread? Possibly. What is this starvation for? And what is bread anyway?
All I know is bread rhymes with dead. So I guess we do need bread.

Vicarious

Vicarious
Vivacious
Vanity
Circumventing
Egoistic
Manifestations
To take the pain
Transmute its
Bodily
Forbearance
So to dive
Delve
Down, deep
Down
Darkly
No matter how
Preposterous
This fusion
Called
Life
Ends
Willingly
Voluntarily
Vicarious

Character

She faded rather quickly into the foreground but I still maintained my pace. As she turned the corner I noticed her golden locks float upwards in the breeze. That sun yellow dress of hers was like a cautionary sign to me. But I've never been one to obey any sign. Then she rapidly ducked into a shoe store; I waited a minute and casually walked in.

A shelf filled with red pumps startled me at first. I spun around and knocked over a busty mannequin. Most of the patrons didn't seem to notice. I picked up the mannequin by the bust and steadied it back in place. It was at that exact moment that she approached me.

"Haven't I seen you before?" She asked then twiddled one of her shiny locks with her index finger. "Perhaps." I answered. "Oh! You're on that really funny t.v. show! Right?" Her entire face lit up. "Uh... yes. Yes I am." I thought about correcting her but then I just became lost in her ocean blue eyes.

"I really love your show and the character you play! I'm probably one of your biggest fans!" She grasped my right hand then pulled me in and gave me a really intense hug. I didn't dare push her away. I don't know what fragrance she wore but it was quite intoxicating. It reminded me of being in a field of daffodils during a cool midsummer's eve.

It was all I could do to stop myself from breathing in every ounce of her essence. "I hope you don't think I'm too forward by asking you this but would you like to come to this party me and my friends are throwing tonight? It's just like a birthday party." She loosened her hold then stepped back a little in order to maintain eye contact with me. "Whose birthday is it?" I asked. "Oh, one of my friends. She's also a big fan of yours. Her name's Christine. And uh oh my name's Cindy! Sorry I forgot to mention my name right away." She giggled a bit.

"Nice to meet you, Cindy. And that party sounds like fun. I'd love to stop by." I spoke in a manner a trained actor might speak to a fan. "Oh, wow! Really? You'll come? That's great! Here's the address and my phone number." She frantically grabbed a pen from her purse and began writing on a store flyer. "Here you go." She handed me the flyer and kissed me briskly on the lips.

I watched her walk slowly out of the store and turn her head back. "I'll be waiting for you." She said in a sultry voice then slipped away. "All right. Now I just have to figure out which show she thinks I'm on." I stuffed the flyer in my pocket and ran home.

Close Dry

Plain and Dry
Soft Spoken
Ruminations
In particular
Particles
Realize
Just what makes
Us All
Tick
Tick
Tick
Time eludes us
Purposefully
For now & then
Begins here
How... wow
Glower
Back against
Comedic
Listeners
Not visuals
Nor
Nuptuals
Randomly rent
Fifteen rooms
with a view
A view of
the pleated
Woods
No flowers
Are visible
as of yet
but then
How exactly do we
Breathe?
While Dreaming
While
Swimming
Dilating
Pupils
Peoples Stupid
Expendable
regional
dialects
and arguments
Oh, the damn
Arguments!
The agitation
Sets in
We cannot gamble away
Mass fluid
Cultures
Like wishes
wishful
Springing
Asunder
Annoyance
lies morph realism
Emotionless
Expressions
Full
Hatred melts
then orbs appear
Pure
purely, simply
unconstitutional

Motion(s)
No physics
No reality
Close memories of vain

Greater Whole

A plural substance
Was I?
Ever so rich as to say
"You need me today. Everyday."
A singular influence
Keeps my passion
Afloat
Her bodyguard permitted
the consumption of twelve
Root beer floats
A rectangular confluence
Prayed toward the heavens
but then it all felt
Too special
And it all was indeed
Too Special
The silver lining above
our heads
The invisible drudgery
making us dead
Did nothing but remind
Us of much more
Golden Days
So I grabbed a handful
Of stardust memories
I then hurled it upward
Watched it disappear
Into the voluminous void
I wanted to cry but opted
For a cheer
A singular being
Am I
A plural beginning
Is what courses
through all of us
"We need each other."
Sure we can despise
one another
all day long
That still does not diminish
The collective sorrow
Of our times
Yes
We are singular souls
But alas
Part of a much
Much Greater
Whole

Water That Sustained

Do you drink your
Water
with a grain of
Salt
Do you sip your
Soup
Reluctantly
or
Ravishly
When your supervisor
calls you by somone else's
Name
Do you correct him?
Do you reflect on past grievances?
Well... maybe
You should
Postulate
One more theory
Just one more
Before
this year runs out
And
All of humanity
Will Shout
"I should have cared about it all!"
....,
Then that grain of salt
will be much sweeter
than the once reflective
Water
That
Sustained
Us

Purely Human

Nudes
are not
Nudes
They are
Unfettered
Pure
Unspoiled
To be
Nude
is to be
purely
Human

Think About Sex

Why must I think about sex?
That girl at the bus stop
wearing a mini skirt and
see through blouse
excites me
As she smiles at me
I ignore her
Why must I think about sex?
When I arrive at the office
I am greeted by a sexy brunette
with more curves than she knows
what to do with
I look... I look but ignore her advances
Why must I think about sex?
I sit down at my desk and in no time
the super gorgeous blonde coworker
wearing hip hugging jeans
approaches me
She asks to borrow my stapler
I say yes and she very slowly leans toward me
to pick it up
she then lightly touches my forearm and
Walks back to her cubicle
I stare at her backside as she leaves
Why must I think about sex?
At lunch time I purchase a big
Tuna fish sandwich
then drive out to a vacant field
As I eat the sandwich in my vehicle
I think to myself
Why must I think about sex?
Somebody then taps on my window
I eat the last morsel of tuna as I
Roll it down
A pretty young girl pokes her head through
She asks why I am parked in a field
I take time with my reply then say
I'm trying not to think about sex
She smiles and nods her head
She points west and asks if
I could possibly give her a lift
To California
I nod my head
She hops in
And I floor the gas pedal
All the while thinking
Why must I
Think
About
Sex?

Able Able

Unless
able
Think
Stable
Otherwise
blank
bleak
whole opposition
May
scratch
your only
Affection
If able
be unruly
If not
prepare for
Authority
Unless

Ungrateful & Morbid

A morbid
Saint
stabbed
what made me
Faint
Inside of us all
Is a stale
Pale version
of abnormality
Thanks again
for your
Rage-less
Fate
Speak again
For
the amorphous
Figures
without
Purpose
We are all
Ungrateful
&
Morbid

Influential

The ghost will
scare you
The vampire
will suck your
Blood
The economy
will drain you
The system
will betray you
The income tax
will rape you
The politician
cannot
save you
The course we're on
is set
There is NO WAY
to minimize the Debt
The candidate will lie
his ass off
The people will
fall for it once more
The partisan approach
has already atrophied
beyond reproach
But
This is what people need
This is what people want
They need to feel screwed
They need to be used
'cuz
We've all tried the punch
and it was spiked
millions of times
with overly used
Promises
by overrated
Pompous asses
Now is NOT
the Winter of our
Discontent
Now is the
Autumn
of LIBERATION
Do not despair!
For it is all so clear
Vote against
Vote against
This archaic system
For it is THEY
who are the true Vampirics
They do not suffer as we do
They signed away their souls
Long, long, long
Ago
This Universe
Is not Chaotic
Government
seeks to make us all
Robotic
This verse
is for EVERYONE
This Time is Historic
Our Humanity
Shall lead us
Forward
Forward
And
Beyond
.. Galactic influence
is our destiny
NOT more
Tyranny

Somehow

How do most people deal with their emotions?
I suppose they don't
Because
Most people are
Just too caught up
In the psychosis
Of false reality
Delusional
To a point
I will not admit
To living
In the present
Because the present
Remains unappreciated
I guess I do live in it...
Somehow
