Technophobic.

Technophobic.

Got fiber optic cables for blood vessels, And communicate exclusively by text message, Eyes glued to screens like my fingers are taped to these keys, My heart pumps binary, my muscles are synthetic carbon and plastic composite, Perhaps I should have foregone that Titanium for bone replacement...

Offense.

Offense.

The Downfall Of The Human Race.Peoples And Countries Failed To Change.Especially When It Came To Economy Or Finance.Winner Take All Was The Name Of The Game.Ocean Waves Came For The Masses.It Was Sparked By The Hunger Of The Sun.The “Middle Class” Ignored The Plights of the Poor.Until The Hardship...

Capital.

Capital.

The Downfall Of The Human Race came over the course of an extraordinary decade of very ordinary years, in which all manner of Peoples And Countries Failed To Change or adapt in any way which inconvenienced them in the slightest, Especially When It Came To Economy Or Finance. Winner Take All Was...

Parasite.

Parasite.

Latch on. Tug at the coat strings, never let go. Vampire, Incubus, Succubus. Accountability won't hold you down, no! Feed. Take it all, consume everything. This is just compulsion, let it take you, move you, guide you, it takes from your free will, and thus you take more from others. You are...

Electricity.

Electricity.

Open up your mind. I wanna drink from your stream of consciousness and swallow it whole. I’m Nostro and you’re my Gepetto, we live in suburbs and ghettos but my fellows, we’re beautiful. I like soft climes and wind chimes and percolating the divine. Stewing it away like a good beef and barley. I’m...

Cherry Blossom Dreams. // Roses In My Closet.

Cherry Blossom Dreams. // Roses In My Closet.

The petals are an eyesore, four score and twenty years in the baking, perfect trust fund babies making rust. I demand dust and echoes to keep track of the years, fourscore in all, but I’m appalled at the fall of tulips in May, and not a single damn day goes by that I don’t inspect the withered...

Cheese Grater.

Cheese Grater.

The song: “Sex is not the enemy” is performed by a band called Garbage. That's no damn coincidence. But try as “she” might to play the vertebrae of my spine, as one might linger upon piano keys, my member isn't in your club, and my dick isn't somewhere on a shelf in Costco. If I were aware my...

Bloody French Kisses.

Bloody French Kisses.

Bloody French Kisses I. This clawing urgency in the tips of your fingers, Tracing jagged red lines down my skin. It merely serves as a venting of your frustrations. War is hell, and I love it. Cry havoc! Loose the dogs of war upon me! II. Every blow strikes my frame true, yet I chortle at the...

Perverse Beauty.

Perverse Beauty.

Fear a day,I begin writing war poems again.Warlord long buried,In dregs of self.There's a perverse beauty,In violence towards justice.Equality & equity looming.Can hear drums,Calling me to battle.21st century wars -Fought for common folk,Against might of billionaires.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

A woman called me beautiful today.It was nestled in a vein of intelligent discussion.An embrace of humanities’ faults.A woman called me beautiful today.My disposition brightened.And joy grew in my heart, like dandelions blooming in July.A woman called me beautiful today.My face dared to smile.And...

Bone Sundering Kings. \\ “Men.”

Bone Sundering Kings. \\ “Men.”

He is he, who is steel and bone, flesh and faith, blood and thunder. We are we, who are death incarnate, Black and Gold, Red and Black. Our blades are sharp as thus it flows, the red and misty missed, we mourn our dead. The yearning grows as such it is, the pain and thus, the memories linger. We...

One Year.

One Year.

I spat nasty words like hot curling irons through toilet paper, wrinkling out flames and black smoke into damp spring air. It has been one year since tensions simmered and boiled down a relationship, cherry picking doubts and fears that tick-tocked two months time until explosions rocked the...

this is not about love

this is not about love

This is not about love, what lies above or white gloves seducing teenagers with media.This is not about life, strife or blight upon mankind.This ain’t about broken hearts or cars that won’t start two minutes before work.This isn’t about mars or stars or rickety old boulevards.But this isn’t about...

She.

She.

She moves forwards into his arms, craving attention, craving his love.Craving justification for existence.He laughs, cruelly.Steps back, and she falls.She falls through the ground and through the sky and through the feelings she has for him.He cackles now, takes a long deep drag from his...

Close To Heaven. // Please Be Gentle With Me.

Close To Heaven. // Please Be Gentle With Me.

Psychokinetic to the credit of the boundless, we are groundless motes of dust.It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of must.I cry in the night time without a lover to hold me, but I’m still standing boldly,I’m breaking the walls of reality, by partaking in conformity,So things will finally go...

Shatter.

Shatter.

Accountability died today, a play between this and that and those locked in the fray.Thoughts flood smooth: A ruse that’s trapped within both me and you.We lost our lives in the crush of limbs, trimmed clean and left lean in the morgue.We travelled down staircases of glory and told dark stories of...

Second Hand Rap.

Second Hand Rap.

I’m gonna breathe into you some second hand rap, sleaze my way into your heart, ease it soft into dreams of evergreen trees and ocean scenes. I’m gonna move - soothe your mood and prove to you the metaphorical groove still exists. Let’s mind-kiss, fists held high, deny them by simply trying not to...

Prove.

Prove.

I can’t prove that I’ve ever loved anyone.You’re going to have to take my word for it,when I tell you that I love you.Because you’re beautiful in more ways than one.

Exquisite Taste.

Exquisite Taste.

I heard that your skin tastes,  Of apricots and,  the smell of lavender,  And your eyes,  can pierce the soul.  So may I come in?

John Donne Was A Pervert.

John Donne Was A Pervert.

One of the great, a man of the faith.But so uncouth, the twisted slate.Donning his robe, that Donne of faith.But “fun in bed” was his true debate.Therefore, I call out thy hypocritical name.“John Donne, you were a pervert!” I greatly refrain.“Your time was spent writing of naked girls.Not that I’m...

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,...

Honed Back To Predator, Yet Again.

Fat,Like Buddha.More disarming,That way.Prefer to be seen,As friendly giant -Some cryptid carer.But perhaps it is time,For not just discipline -But sharpness.Honed back to predator,Yet again.Hard Knuckle Tactics,An enjoyment of work that burns.Lethality,Once.Pacifism,Now.New Rules.

Fuck Your Limits.

One day,We shall work when we want to.Not because we must.Rationed rationality.Logic in fits and starts.Aye,Anarchy has taught me -That utopia is a potential,Not a mythology.I've read too many words,Written by old dead men.I will write new potentialities,Instead.

Guillotine Tongue.

Sharp-Jaw,Guillotine Tongue.No need for Silver,When I breathe smoke.Bellow Thunder.Wrapping saliva around whole stars -savoring the taste of fusion as I unhinge my jawsdraw each star into my mawsaw edges of reality asunderOne Law.One Fundamental Rule.At A Time.you haven't seen me play

Read Foucault, If You Don’t Believe Me.

Fuck your MLA format.Fuck the colleague who scolded my capitalization choices,Too!Sometimes that'll be a title.Sometimes it's the name of a concept,Or idea.Proper Nouns are everywhere,Doofuses.Names continue to hold power,In this modern era of ours.Read Foucault,If you don't believe me.

Hail From The Land of Sunsets.

Hail from The Land of Sunsets.Sun ruling our lives.From pouring rain,In torrentials -Begging for Sol's light through grey clouds.Then withering under her embrace,As forests burn in drought Summers.Heat.Smoke.Homes to ash.Dawn.Dusk.Twilight.She disappears each eve,Over the Pacific.

Cackling At Cadence.

Perhaps I'll return to slam -Cackling at cadence,Chortling at meter.Art is broke-back freedom,Catching a whip in your teeth.Performance,Cannot become formulaic.The moment something becomes solved,It must become unsolved.Or proven beyond reasonable doubt.See through you.

Chainsaw Diplomacies.

Perhaps I'll farm,Some faith.Drinking belief,Whilst eschewing hubris -For humility.There're means,& ends.Differentiating them?Important.When facing tyrants,As anarchists true -Build yourself a chainsaw,In a form that suits your style.Rattling roar of engines,Expressing our discontent.

Words & Nothing.

Get in shape;Oh monster of mine.Bring the animal,& beast,With you.Let me wrap cold steel chains,Around my forearms,Fists.Carbon forged perfections,Keeping my demons in check.Watched a millennium,Pass me by.Buried the bodies,But kept the ghosts of ancestors.Old magic.Black magic.Tethers to the...

Sadly Shake My Head.

Standing,Leaning against the wall -Arms crossed,Mouth pulled into closed smiles -As ever.Catch my unsubtle wink?Notice these white scars;& black ink across my skin?I've never known safety, peace, or comfort.So the things you talk about,Sound like pure fantasy.Smile.Sadly shake my head.

Writing With Your Own Blood.

Wreathed in crimson,The ferrous taste of iron in the blood.Sanguine destinies,Dictated by bloodlines.Let the red tsunami come!I've ridden the rose petal wave,Bled freely upon the desolate mountainsides.This maroon fate,Bloody ending.Drink up!Me?I'll live forever.Trapped inside my work.

Proxies.

Band can play me off now -More I plot;& plan,& scheme,& contemplate…More I see the value in shadows.After a lifetime of oppression,Forced to scavenge for scraps in the gutter -I'm used to looking up,& out,From the pitch black dark.Guess I'll need figureheads,Proxies,Faces I can...

Goodnight Void #985

Goodnight,Void.Forever,& always.I'll acknowledge you.Revere you.When nobody else will.There's a kindness,Or peace,To assurance.I could never grow bored,Ever again.Racing against my very own clock.Not enough time,Never enough universe,To consume.Thank you,For being reliable.

Can Your Love Hold A Species?

Can your love hold a species?Torrents of negativity -Idiocracies in bloom.How much good faith is needed,To drown out ignorant bigotry,Hate,Or ugly Christian Nationalism?Is your love strong enough?Softness to battle arrogant bastards,In parodies of the paradox of tolerance.Can your love -

The Softest Dirges.

I am the hungering dark,Seething in the shadows,Roiling in the pitch-black deeps.Sharp teeth.Manic grins.An oblivion that consumes the light,Crafting fractals.Infinite entropy,The purest want,Trickling from the void.I am the fallow field,Empty stomach,Softest dirges.
