Or Does It Die Here, With Me?

Or Does It Die Here, With Me?

When I am gone,Will you miss me?In these quiet moments -Full of reflection.Midnight poems,From a broken,Lonely cryptid.An ultimate question,Of the artist;Is there anyone out there,To witness the art?Or does it die here,With me?

Theatre.

Theatre.

Hesitant,Pausing for effect.Spotlight following their every move.Suspension of disbelief,Allows one to warp time.Stretching seconds into hours,Or weeks into moments.Been wrangling reality,Since I was a pup -Doomed to wander any other universe,But this one.Can you see the hollow void,Behind my...

Who Believes In The Better Nature Of Humans?

Who Believes In The Better Nature Of Humans?

Was everything a lie?Was I another mark to take advantage of?Such a similar story,To last time.You'd think I'd have learned.A proper villain,Knows not to be trusting.Yet I still have a heart,My folly -Eh?A fool,Who believes in the better nature,Of humans.Stupid.

Closing Time.

Closing Time.

Alas,Closing Time.You don't have to go home,But you can't stay here.Just shy of my hundred-poem goal,In just one day.Cafe is closing!GET OUT.Damn.I lost.But remember:Failure is a precursor to growth.Compounding in exponentials.

Sideways Eights Are Crazy.

Sideways Eights Are Crazy.

Sideways Eights,Are Crazy.Children's card games -Portraying Algebraic Concepts.Force feeding skillsets,Simply by grinding for Dopamine.

Which Half?

Which Half?

Which half,Is good?& which,Is evil?As if the world could be reduced down,To black & white,As I used to think.The parts of myself -That want to rain destruction upon tyrants?Well,They'd have to destroy me,Too.No matter how deep I buried such selves.

A Rare Found Poem.

A Rare Found Poem.

The Final Countdown.Another One Bites The Dust.More Than A Feeling.Numb.Hungry Like The Wolf.Weight Of The World.A Rebel Yell.True.

DEATH METAPHORS.

DEATH METAPHORS.

Sometimes we can see the light,At the end of the tunnel.Yet Death Metaphors,Are hardly deep.Instead of seeking out the light -Many of us must make it for ourselves,With flint.Darker souls as us:Hungry for warmth.

Simple Poems.

Simple Poems.

Most folks,Want simple poems,About love,Or nature.I can seldom deliver on that -Forced to witness all of existence,Instead.

Nuclear Starlight.

Nuclear Starlight.

Dancing across the stars,Breathing my oxygen from Nebulae.Cosmic radiation -Culling me sterile.But who cares about such basic biologies?Some reproductive urge to breed,A la survival of the fittest.Slave to desire.Being free from such wants,Only the stars call me home.Nuclear starlight.

Playing With Myself.

Playing With Myself.

15 Poems,In 30 Minutes.Crunching my capability,Despite wanting to quit.My heroes never gave up,So I won't,Either.

To Satirize This One.

To Satirize This One.

A Universe Here,Perhaps A Galaxy There.Dozens of Planets,Cooked up from scratch.This Universe is rather boring,Constrained as we are by the roadblocks on Science.Stuck on Earth,With an ignorant majority.Why else do you think I'd prefer to paint a new existence,Instead?To satirize this one.

Dear Queers,

Dear Queers,

Dear Queers,Blood is irrelevant.Most families are fucked,Anyway.Found family?More important -Than pleasing bigots.Disowned family myself;Disgusting animals who refused to accept me -Dead naming the whole way.Dear Queers,Fuck blood.Family should never come at the cost,Of being yourself.

Sociopathy & Spite.

Sociopathy & Spite.

Part of me knows,Some ugly souls -Stalk almost everything I write.Having shit upon my work,Or efforts,For decades.Lost a decade of working life -To such opinions.Evil as I am;I thoroughly enjoy the idea,That they cannot keep up with my production.Going manic in their sociopathy,& spite.

Diesel Doesn’t Lie.

Diesel Doesn’t Lie.

Miss my iron,Some days.Old familiar feelings,Of existing beyond your body.Twenty-Five Tonne Physics,Few realize:Bigger you get -Slower you move.Mass.Density.Volume.Familiar measurements of the universe around us.Easier to count atoms,Than believe in holy fictions.Diesel Doesn't Lie.

Six Thousand.

Six Thousand.

Six Thousand.An interesting number.Eventually,A poem for every year -That some fools believe the world has existed for.As if spitting upon the fourteen billion years,Before that.Find my disgust at ignorance,Harder to tame,Or hide,These days.

Can’t Dispute Numbers.

Can’t Dispute Numbers.

Why else you think I chose to be prolific,Over hoping for popular appeal?The rampant subjectivity across art -Means a wholly broken system,Regarding talent or effort.Nah.Decided on quantity,Over quality.Not that there aren't some bangers!Folks can argue about quality.Can't dispute numbers.

Wanna Race?

Wanna Race?

21 Poems,In an hour.Crossing the boundaries -Between Language & Mathematics.Quantification of the Universe,In seconds or minutes.As much Science,As Art.As much Truth,As Fiction.But only the clever bastards can ever really tell.

The Pickup Truck Diaries: The Most Prolific Human Poet In History.

Seems grandiose, eh? This is one of the more modest, amongst the actual titles I was able to workshop, believe me! And I’d hope by now you’ve read at least one or two of these here Pickup Truck Diaries, so you are well aware already that I love being grandiose and mock-megalomaniacal for the sake...

Central Universe Science Fiction Shorts: An Update!

Campfire. Come gather 'round the campfire. Let me tell you a story. Several small ones, in fact! It started a month or two ago, when I had a bunch of hits on "Our Better Angels" via the 'ol analytics. Now, I've been running this little business for half a decade - so out of neurotic perfectionism,...

Finish; What I Never Could.

Samsara;My greatest enemy.Following entropy closely,In the hierarchies,Of foes I must defeat.Some I worship,Even as I try to beat them.Annihilation being perfect flattery,For the void.Perfect nothingness,Would be release from this damn cycle,Of spirits.My soul ripped...

Regrets.

Anyone that tells you,They live without regrets,Is lying.Humans are too flawed,Not to have at least a few.I have thousands.Some of which,Would have freed me.If they had gone another way.Which of my selves,From other timelines,Must I kill,To steal the place of?Would it even be worth it?

Apocalypse In Slow Motion.

Take it slow -An apocalypse in slow motion.Lest we tell the tale,Of a sundered world.What of we demigods?What shall we do with this power,We've stolen?Us endangered cryptids.There have been a hundred ends.This time,I want a beginning.Can you promise me that,At least?

Capitalism Is The Disease.

Lives wasted like water.Running through our fingers.How many innocents,Could we have saved?How many dead,At the greedy short term profits,Of capitalism?Monsters with human skin.No morals.No values.Only dollar signs in their eyes.Worse demons than our own.

Catch 22.

Fighting for a voice,Amongst a sea of others -Wielding sex,Or politics,As a hook. I'm just an independent artist,Scrabbling in the dirt.Look at me!Look at me!As if capitalism doesn't demand market share. Caught in a catch 22,Wanting to make art.Forced to sell it,To survive.Disgusting.

Sassafrass

"My god! I'm aghast! Scintillated with expectation!  Adrift as per a phantasm! Ghastly, indeed." "I'm always the focus of attention in a room. The trick is to become what they want. Replace their object of obsession. Hook them with a smile, a wink, a nod."

Protecting The Weak.

The strong,Must protect the weak.Therein lies the burden of the strong. Muscle & steel,Willpower & charisma.Borne from the wilds,Black magic in my veins -I'll bite apart their chains. World Serpent wiles,Not jealous,Only precocious. This fortress,I'll lend to you.

Time For Sleep.

Come nuzzle at my breast,The one solace of fat.Cushioned dreams,My arm around your neck,Your shoulders.Wrapped jigsaw between the sheets.Time for sleep.Forehead kisses and quiet.Heat like a mighty furnace,Running hot.Eternal boiler,Steaming at the core.Sleep now.Shh.

Bellowing Afar.

You fools.Striding forwards,Through ash?Nothing new to us.Watching it gather on our skin.Rain,From the skies.Hazes across us.Watching humans scurry.Battle with nature herself,The Brutal Calculus:Form of Physics.My kind,Outcasts from the deep woods.We survive everything.Bellowing afar.

Exercise Belief Upon Reality Itself.

Gift unto me,Your hearts,& souls.Blood,Or tears.Forgotten dreams,Or waking nightmares.All,Excellent reagents.Alchemical hierarchies -Blooming into witchcraft,Taking want -Willpower,Using such things,To twist fate,Warp destiny.Exercise belief upon reality itself.

When Pigs Fly, Or Villains Tell Nothing But The Truth.

Bleed,Until there is nothing left.Dissolving like sugar in coffee,Osmosis,Rebirth.I call you back from the dead.From the edge of death.From life.Holding onto hope -In these darkest hours.When pigs fly,Or villains tell nothing,But the truth.

Mutual Benefits.

Nay,Not that kind of tyrant.Demand freedom,Lay ultimatums towards mutual benefit.Build to utopia -For the greater good.My domain,Is an aura -Barely a system across the sphere.Subtle warping,Of the fabric of realities.Willpower -Distorting time,Or space.At leisure.

Play The Fool ||

In worlds of games,Or hidden intentions -Simply smile!Grin wide,Shouldering the role of the archenemy,Or twirling,Laugh in incredulous truth.Sometimes both.Playing one's hand openly,Is fun.Yet dancing with intellect,Even moreso.I dislike lying,So I'll play the fool.

Rhyme Schemes Are For Basic Bitch Poets.

Hanging out with rez kids,Listening to borrowed hip-hop, us skids. Cultural insertion into angsty voids,Born to die young in alky binges or roids. Affinity for Icarus,Told in thicker stuff. Some I left behind,Bowed heads & grave signs. As if couplet rhymes,Made time. As if privilege of lighter...

Penance.

You don't understand.My sins are many.Loaming sprawls of ivy -Creeping across the graveyard.My penance,Will take thousands of years.The balance of my good,Must outweigh,All my evils.Extending,Long past our deaths,As mortals.Passing on as much as I can carry.
