An Atheist's Death-Poem
Death: Cessation Peaceful Boring More than mind-numbing Non-existence
How terribly exciting death is Nothing matters but matter And when that’s gone You’ve never been so full of energy
Death Decomposition Transformation Creation
When you finish being You are You simply just are Unadulterated existence No consciousness to get in the way No fear, or ambition, or plans to distract You...

Selfish Lover: 4:57
The birds sing of the shortcomings The inability The longing
Trumpets of impotence Embarrassment Frustration
The finish line so far beyond the physical limits The psychological fortitude The stamina
Sleep must have a selfish lover She never seems to come

Sock it to me
I left my socks on I was so excited I didn’t notice Or care The elastic strangled my leg halfway up the calf
I left my socks on This move, or omission of a move to remove my socks Would later be ridiculously ridiculed during a session of never have I ever In a game of Kings Jovial Joking over the top, almost as ridiculous as leaving my socks on
I left my socks on But if my memory serves...

Love(lust) Poem for the Artificially Manufactured...
This flame formed fiercely quick, Unnaturally so Suddenly, without kindling Left me breathless Feeding on the oxygen formerly occupying my lungs
The heat hovers upwards Distorting the air above us Birds benefit, aim for our updraft
Soot stains the sheets we share The sickly, sweet smell of sweat, cum and creosote Courses coarsely through the air Disseminating through deficient ductwork of a...

Poem for the Second Listen
Synesthesia Listening to the rainbow Book ends Black and White The wrong feeling fills my mouth Every time the spectrum spurs forth The taste on my tongue is two tunes off
Maybe colors don’t taste how they sound Maybe my buds are backwards (ear or taste) Maybe it’s been too long Maybe synesthesia is a load of shit
Yellow is the hardest to swallow Black is hard and fast and full White...

Weathered Leather
reclining in a weathered deskchair gut protruding with the exhaustion of my mid 60s 74 degree midnight First day over 65 this year
The green was a minefield of fine looking women The shapes of their shades ablaze Burned in my mind for days
I should take better care of myself Less microwavable meals More pickup basketball
The ones I see don’t see me The ones that see me, I don’t want...

Not finished
Film forms on his skin Humidity coaxes the coating out of his pores Perspiration proves procrastination, inebriation, stagnation, Denial
The train passes in the night The once sleep shattering steel Rocks the bed like a stumbling lover getting under covers Trembling tracks, fingers running through his hair The Whistle whispers “Get some sleep, babe”

Sleep it off
A Gaffe. Painful, air depleting Gaffe. A sharp hook through the side of a blue. Catastrophic Gaffe. A finish-your-drink-in-a-single-gulp-settle-up-your-tab-and-run Gaffe. A hide-your-phone-on-silent-and-get-under-covers-with-a-brown-alcohol gaffe. Slumber Sleep it off Wake up a month from then, two months By then it’s either forgotten or it’s not
When you come to the bridge Cross it...

American Asceticism
American Asceticism Self mutilation Bodies massacred for men, The New Gods. Magazines idealize fallacies for phalluses You’ll never be good enough
Binge, purge, cry Worship a douche of a guy. Binge, purge, cry, cut Embrace the inadequacy in your gut. Cut, cry, binge, purge Indulge every insane urge.
Media is the New God And your worship is still worthless. Cut, binge, purge, cry...

Muse for Hire. NaPoWriMo '11 #10
Looking for a layman with love on the lips Who’s looking for lyrics to unlock a heart
Seeking suicidal saint to paint pages instead of walls Your mind makes prettier prose than splatter patterns
Searching for oppressed minority who’d like to release rage, be the voice of an age, and further the placement of your people
Query for queers articulating fears, abhorring hate, demanding...

Off Days
The day off is nothing It’s all about the night before Whether it be debauchery or a good nights sleep The day off is wasted Sleeping in or sleeping it off The day off is wasted And if you manage to be productive, it’s not a day off It is transference of work The day off is wasted

They don’t all have to have happy endings Sometimes we need cautionary tales I’ve known many cautionary tales I miss them, I’m sorry they went out that way Many have mirrored that sentiment But I cannot remember anyone giving thanks

Brackish Patches
Hold your tongue you feeble female Your sniveling is oh so irksome I never meant to cause this qualm But your drivel was oh so irksome Dry the brackish patches beneath your eyes You look seraphic when you cry A creature built from beauty bound to a misogynistic duty So clear the brackish flow from your face Because giving in is oh so irksome Letting me win is oh so irksome

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Drink
Finally sitting in silence The air hangs heavy Like wet jeans on a wire hanger
The Devils’ comeback continues, but they were off today I was thirty minutes late Just in time to be tallied
Time stops but doesn’t stand still Ticking clock more like a metronome Pulse pounding in perfect 4/4 Pressure provokes pain, prevents postulating
Regret beads up on the forehead Sweating sorrows...

Dropping Knowledge
“Why didn’t you ever settle down?” “I guess I am susceptible to losing faith. First in gods, then in man” She wept. She knew she was responsible. She wasn’t, he was just a douche who had a way with words. That’s the funny part about knowledge, it’s often false.
He held her hand. They sat there for hours.
