Past Your Face

 

Found this gem of wisdom at the fountain outside my office building.

Social IV

We have sunsets
but color
wasn’t enough

we have
man/woman
man/man
woman/woman
woman/man

but it wasn’t enough

animal/man
man/computer
bcuz
aforementioned options
were not enough

we have poppy fields
but heroin
wasn’t enough

an empty bottle
wasn’t enough

coke in the nose
wasn’t enough

smoke in the lungs
wasn’t enough

tab on the tongue
was not enough

so we began to mainline
multiple identities
via social IV

severed
we may never disconnect

sweating
shaking
writhing upon
cold tiled floors

aching for more
our
blood is rusted
by what
we so lust for

virtue & vice
how many friends
how many likes
who we have caught
in this virtual net

deifying
social ID
bedridden, scratching at IV

please unplug me
set me free

Torrential Stillness

I want to lose myself
in her
thunderhead

I want to be
still & silent in her
longevity

she bathes me
in her potential
torrential downpour

swallows me whole
in her simple
destructive nature

I am drowning
& at peace.

Test Less

where do we go when
the blood stops flowing

what do we show when
our hearts slow to a stop

breathless, embraced
in arms of death

test less, w/ nothing
left to give

i hope i done you right
this time

i used to believe in 2nd chances
but anymore, i just don’t know

breathless, enlaced
in arms of death

i hope i did right
by you

Flowery Shout

Towers in tumult
took so many years
to stack them bricks
tall enough
to boast
to toast
to tell the world about
in flowery shout
our worth
through language
looking down
upon
we tall, we tall, yeah watch us as we fall
toppled in an instant
savages
we ravage
ravish
thru the rubbage
bathe in the remains
of wreaked creations
and we have the gall
to rebuild
mighty as we try
to rival
god’s minefields
perfectly perfected
