1. Zion

    I believe in hedonism as the one & only path to enlightment. It’s my personal road to Zion. The drag of my cigarette, the bite of my Mad Dog, the cock I’m going to suck are all that matters. It’s all I need to survive.

    I believe in self destruction, not self improvement. In order to create you have to destroy. It’s like an open wound—it’s bleeding, it’s chaos. After a few days the open wound turns into a crust (a scab), after that it will completely heal- new skin. You’ve created order out of chaos, you’ve created something new. self destruction is a self finding process. You need pain in order to feel again.

    I believe that clothes, cars, jobs, social/educational statuses, money, fame and the size of one’s pants do not define a person.

    I believe in pacifism, equal rights for women and penis’s. The LGBT Community and people with different eye colors.

    I believe loyalty is the most important character in a person.

    I beleive in literature, music, film, art & love. I believe in humanity.

  2. The A word

    There’s a snake pierced into my eye

    poison flowing inside

    overflowing

    takes control of me

    the blackness runs in my veins

    arms numb

    roller coaster

    what I wanted is not the same

    Insane

    so complex

    I know how this most likely ends

    the world we constantly use

    abuse it really

    I know I have….

    The word is ALONE by the way….

  3. In the era of information technology—this era of everything— there is something untallied— or let’s say there are two kinds of everything, two all-at-onenesses.

    One of the two is additive. It’s piling up becomes occlusive, numbing, essentially mechanistic . The other is comphrehensive…it’s overlays are transluscent, generative, essentially metaphysical. One, everything is accomplished by the sheer summing up of all it’s componenet parts. To reach a given point, you build a road by which to get there— painstakingly, legalistic, cumulative, horizontal.

    Meanwhile a poet or intuiter, a metaphysician or feel-meister, will have fallen off a cliff and reached the same point. A sudden vertical gets him over there— an unforseeness.

    It’s like with writing. the poet doesn’t mean to mean—he writes to find out what he means. Not a claim to power but a vulnerability.

    We write not to be some underground outlaw on the internet but to survive….

  4. Into the Black….

    “Hello darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk to you again.”

    Unfolding as the night penetrates our skin like ink\

    from broken pens

    The clown in the closet doesn’t want to play.  Nope, he’s

    tired form making laugh lines with knives.

    And the blood

    {BLOOD IS HARD TO GET OUT}

    We talk about it like it’s red. But it’s not.  It’s pulsing and velvet. And pulsing.  

    Damp mold in the corner of the shower

    Left to grow unwatched

    A life we cannot kill.  Something different.

    It has fangs razor sharp

    I told you about the night.

    How it slithers like the serpent

    How it’s easier to lie in the dark

    Meth spattered streets that hide our disease

    only here I might

    Find salvation

    On my knees fucking til it bleeds

    tapdancing on landmines where babies born with switchblades

    lay hemorraghing since mankind

    lost humanity

    Generation X

    We have no names

    Just numbers and a diagnosis

    Here the Monsters Feed

    As the music plays (and beneath the surface it’s more complex)

    Down in it where most of us

    Run with scissors headbutting the shadows

    anxioulsy praying the Blackness of night to seduce us again

    An old familiar friend we’ve painfully missed

    Familiar—-a comfort one knows

    Though we scratch into the darkness every night—

    WE smile, because she keeps our secrets and hides our sin….

  5. Vendetta

    A pity to die babe whispering your last words to my ear, “I don’t love you anymore” with no one but me to hear. What a distance between the first passionate whisper and the new tone of your farewell sigh. I feel no shame that I killed you and put you here beneath the ground. Your all alone here, no longer on top but under since your dead. I’ll plant wildflowers, red ones of course, though you can’t see them you might feel my hands as they dig the dirt that surrounds your tomb— where I can come sometimes and grieve. I can’t hold you but the earth will embrace you as the sun celebrates me….

  6. tough love

    brightlightsloudnoises:

    you weren’t homeless
    but you wanted to be

    i liked you
    so i entertained you—
    i did
    raw 
    mean things
    and they
    made you
    giggle
    i smoked
    unfiltered
    cigarettes
    shot
    the 3 dollar
    whiskey;
    i showed
    you
    the chords
    to
    positively fourth street
    in
    a
    doorway
    in the
    rain

  7. PART I

    There is a guy I know who is just as chipped and torn life worn like the hand me down sheets I dress my old mattress with, comforting in their softness.  His knees are scraped and his torso scarred from battling situations life hands him.

    PART II

    I blush and my heart flips when he is near.  He takes my breath away.  he smells like the sun, and hands me a razor blade.  I save it in my pocket like a kiss, where I caress it.  The cold metal is comforting to me.

    PART III

    He looks at me and bathes me in euphoria.His eyes focus on my insecurity.

    PART IV

    We lie next to each other not touching on the hand me down soft sheets in a dreary room and wonder what the other is thinking.  We hold each other in random questions that mean nothing.  Truth eludes us.

    PART V

    I cannot stop the swirling thoughts.  I feel sick because I know our moment is gone.

    PART VI

    He holds me in fragments.  His skin is beautiful, even with the cloaking sadness we both wear.

    PART VII

    I swallow like whole pills and he consumes me like cigarette drags, small pulls that suck a bit of my soul with each drag.

    PART VIII

    We drift away like lazy days

    IX

    We find each other again.  Each has more chips in our skin, more sadness that lines our eyes.  I am milk and he is honey.  There is always a whisper unspoken between us.

    PART X

    I’ll be here eternally i say without words, as he walks out the door again.
