“You amaze me”

“You amaze me”

Hamlet.Always my favourite.Stolen story or not.Exact same existential crises,As I lived.Every day.For a very long time.Pondering:Whether death was better than life,As if inevitable assurances didn't matter.Failed Twice.Kill the world that scorned me?Or save the few that deserve it?Hamlet method...

Dawn To Dusk.

Dawn To Dusk.

Dawn to Dusk.Existing between principles,& reality.I cannot just touch a person's temples -To download my immense archive,Of eidetic memories, wisdoms, & knowledge.Must sloppily navigate their bias,& ignorance.With spoken word,As my medium & art form.It’s already mostly dead.So, I...

“Brand Cleanliness.”

“Brand Cleanliness.”

Most artists care about things like;"Brand Cleanliness."I most definitely do not.Never fit in,In first place!Broken Social Contracts,Plus trauma & othering!Why should I give two fucks,About the same societies -Who called me retard, gay, or faggot as slurs?Fuck them.I speak truth.I'm me.

Paradox Of Intolerance Is On Fire.

Paradox Of Intolerance Is On Fire.

Sex Positivity;In an age of brutal regression.Conservative Traditionalist Bigots -Brainwashed by Organized Religions,To be as backwards & anti progressive,As possible.Paradox of Tolerance is on fire.Queer folks,Disabled folks,Everyday people.Told what to do or say & who to fuck.Bullshit!

Fiend.

Fiend.

Fiend,Then.Vaudeville in origins,Exile by blood.Equal to twenty percent of a species.An echelon deserving of banishment.Been fighting through mud,Uphill.For a lifetime.Expecting more negativity -Based on experience.Kindness isn't saved,For neurodivergents such as we.

Necropolis of Literature.

Necropolis of Literature.

Is death better?Sometimes the darkness calls to me,Luring me to my doom.Coward's way out.Failed old attempts.Pondering,What have I wrought?My worth -Determined by capitalism,As worthless.My vast works,Unread.A necropolis of literature.This world despises me.

Self Within Self Within Self.

Self Within Self Within Self.

Serenity,Held in the palm within thy mind's eye.Choosing to boil in chaos,Thrashing & tearing.Madness -Self within self within self,Hundred mirrored echoes.Nirvana in fleeting seconds.Dopamine drips.The lies we tell ourselves,To justify our ends.Enlightenment hoaxes.

Fight. Flight. Freeze.

Fight. Flight. Freeze.

Let me rake your amygdala,Clawing across sympathetic.Anxiety to twenty,Nerves ringing,Steel on steel.Chainsaw churn,Every horror,Perched,Edge of vision.Black spot,Coiling menace.Terror of terrors,Infecting from inside out,One scream at a time.Fight.Flight.Freeze.

Drinking Black Ink.

Drinking Black Ink.

Watch,As I eclipse.Shadowed against my thousand selves,That endless chorus.This pitch black dreaming,Not unlike death.Where ego goes to die,Tortured into nothingness.This black ichor,Thick as tar.Pouring from my gouged veins,Dripping from eye sockets.The spell's wound up -Held in contempt.Thousand...

Fractured Hearts.

Fractured Hearts.

I'll love you forever,Damn it.Such is my curse.Watching you move on,Gracious as I am -It's painful.Want to give in so badly,To change fate.To have you.My heart is fractured,But such is time -It endures,Relentless.Maybe we make mistakes.Such is life.Regrets & all.

Machine Gun Lexicons.

Machine Gun Lexicons.

Skid,They called me.Burnout fuck,From a hick logger family.Fuck Pygmalion,Language is freedom.Expression as living,Clawing space for art -With ragged grease-stained fingernails.Chainsaw in hand,Mask lowered in readiness.Machine gun lexicons,I'm never going to stop.

Humble Beginnings.

Humble Beginnings.

Slaying dragons,Is but a sign of humble beginnings.At cosmic scales,One must wield planets.Spinning fragments of civilizations as knives.Maybe there are other realities,Where I was never human.Only ever the creature.Would I still choose to play the villain,After all?

Fight Me, Dearest.

Fight Me, Dearest.

Fight me,Dearest.This ebbing,Or flowing.King tide conundrums.Beasts of the woods -Settle their bets in false charges,Borne fangs.Where is your fang,Little one?Long in the tooth,Or forgotten in the forest.I'll be there -Haunting evermore.A cloak to keep you safe.

Monochromatic Haze.

Monochromatic Haze.

The Infinite Hunger,Feeds the eternal demon.Roaring in the dark,Consumed with naught but anguish.There can never be enough,To fill this infinite void.Pulling at my edges,In monochromatic haze.How often must I become fractals,To escape you?The enemy is entropy itself.

Poems For An Old Lover #3

Poems For An Old Lover #3

Your hair is as nebulous and undecided on its colour, as the changing leaves in the fall - gorgeous waves of red and brown trying to pick a time to take that leap - to gift themselves to the earth, a living biomass for the forest floor. Much are you, a shifting wave of benevolence, hardly a frown...

Poems For An Old Lover #2

A tisket but no tasket,An everflowing basket,Of life as rosy - dark,As a song in the park,In a hurricane!Or more?What could possibly be in store?An uncertainty of sorts,A chaotic half a quart,In a world that doesn't care!It's all - buyer beware!And yet something has to give,So we can barely...

Poems For An Old Lover #1

"Ghosts and whispers, in my ear,Something borrowed, something dear,A patchwork heart, to you I give,You make it lovely to simply live,A pocket full of hopes and love,A lovestruck kiss from up above."

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,...

Meat & Bone.

Choose to engage with people as people.Don't see them as cattle.Marks to build parasocial relationships with,Shilling brand or identity -From behind invisible walls.Farming people for subscriptions -Promising connection that doesn't exist.We're humans,All.Meat & bone.Want to respect that.

What Else Would Keep Us Alive?

Trust me,As much as you'd trust any monster,Turned savior.Vaunted supervillain status,Basking in fear & awe,Lacking in love & kindness.The most broken of creatures.Human crossed into cryptid.If not for these tasks,These goals,Gargantuan.What else would keep us alive?

Don’t Worry, Love.

Don't worry,Love.We'll always go down swinging.Fight 'till we die.& we have.Jolting awake from a thousand dreams.We fought.Bled.Died.For nothing.What is honor,To skeletons?Gaping sockets of a skull.My words matter more,Than my bones.My last will,& testament -Lies across my poems.

Wild. Raw. Hunger.

Not that kind of "Venture Capitalist."Refusing to sell my ideas for anything less…Than Geopolitical Power Itself.Or Means & Ends which allow such,On my own.Shall we play Maestro?I'll show you my Symphonies,Of Wild,Raw,Hunger.I'll not crowdfund guides,To my Witchcraft.SecretsS,Dearies.

Why Not?

There is hope,In this darkness.This seemingly endless abyss. I refuse to surrender,To give in to fear and hatred.STAND, AND FIGHT. Painting futures is my specialty,Telling stories -My legacy. There'll be brighter tomorrows.If I can beat back this longest night,Why not?

We Do Not Pray.

We do not pray.Especially not to dead gods.Fairy tale salvations;To absolve us from sin.Whose?Which sins?These thousand voices,Of ghosts & madness!Spirits I've tamed with force.Or will.Cajoled,Coerced,Conquered.At some point,You become so haunted -That sand-drawn lines,Stop existing.

The Dead.

To the 14 year old girl,Who hung herself.I offer guilt.Endless anguish at my lack of action.Had I been a better beast,So much sooner.To save you. To the Logger Guru,Dead from loneliness,Hurt.Who never knew love,In the right kinds of ways.I mourn your suffering. A good man,I looked up to...

Victory or Death.

This cascading action,The hungering depth of a thousand galaxies.Chained to tectonic plates,Squeezed between The Titans.Old evils,Can’t stop being ourselves.Who else should I be?It’s my choice.Guru or not,Education in primary.Skills come second.Anything can be...

Existing As My Real Self, For Once. & Ever.

Dancing across fancies,Has never been my strong suit.Astonished blushes:"How are you so charismatic?"Ah,My dear.It's all an act.Painted greyscale asexuals,Prancing according to mere mimicry.We never wrote these selves,We merely wore them -As one does a mask.True self?Rather lonely.A...

The Albatross.

Old masteries.Skills we half learned in a frenzy;Then forgot about.Left to rust in the rain,Or gather dust in basements,Attics,Or perhaps a garage.Every feather in our caps,From a hundred avenues.Enough feathers to play The Albatross.I've mastered dozens of talents.How about you?

Pygmalion Complex.

I'll be peace,When there is war.I'm already,Quite good at war.Told in traumas,Miles long.Where I come from,You learn both systems.Imperial,Metric.Becoming good at quantifying the world.Old Logger Guru wisdoms.Pity I'm not a logger.Easy enough.Eat prey.Love.Survive at all costs. /1 Promise me...

To Gift It Forward.

It's okay to forget me,Little Witches.I was here but for a short while.A single voice.Gathering my flocks of spirits -With kindness.Remembering my dead.Because nobody else can.Lives are for living.But time is for giving.Looking toward the future:Doing the best we can,To gift it forward.

The Shoulders of Giants.

Let me carry you,Atop the shoulders of giants.Striding towards new horizons -Dreamed into being. These thumping footfalls,Of destiny. Chasing us towards futures,We never agreed to.And seldom ever wanted. Leviathan,I'll lift you unto the heavens. Point,And we'll go.

Trust Is Easily Broken.

Trust is easily broken,Taking time to build.Laughable hypocrisy -Bane of transparency.Accusations,Leveled against silence.Knowing the gist,Calling out for honor.Backroom discussions.Whispers in the dark.Meet your enemies on the battlefield,War cry staccato.Truths.

Fingertips Always Numb.

Thrumming Of Heavy Bass Strings,Fingertips Always Numb.Lacerations Aplenty.Sounds Of Steel Splintering Wood -Crushing Sans Proper Delicate Touch."Go Back To Being An Operator."Fuck Buddy,Might Have To.Nobody gives a shit I'm most prolific,At anything.Still gotta pay my fucking rent.
