on the road
to stupid
jack
finish the story

in
the land of promises
milk and honey
toast with jam

paying
for the sins
you committed
when
I have my own

defines ageing
a symptom of life
ends up shoeless
with a collar
on a leash

difficult to communicate
a reliable connection
light out
turns on a switch

lives off pills and
science perpetuity
age 24

all that money
making you foolish
burnt when it got cold

and there is more
there is
always more
or less

welfare for politicians

whenever you lie
whatever you say
does not matter

here
you just might
slide off a mountain

perfectly peaceful
why
not today

sweet and easy
like a lie
only it’s true

the mind is horrible
luckily
only sometimes

remember me
as the one who
woke up

see you when
you’re old
days numbered
mornings always
never and new
the way begins

excitement and energy
wanting to make
a difference
fail and succeed
what
is it that you want
you might say
to live
closer to water

finally
air in space
unimaginable light
and darkness extreme

I

maybe you are sick
maybe you are working
maybe you are both
so namaste

follows the blue dot
as it flowers
pretends to hybernate

all day support
joins me in sleep

ends with a dog
a cat for balance

eats from a bowl
on the floor
watching television

becomes a cartoon

the latest
voted
and got fucked
wasn’t
that kind of love
afterall

will
make myself sick
instead
that is
why I almost hate you

hurting
more than the dead
tell my momma
I did my best

death
part of the business

spiritual poverty
highlights
a night out on the town
the mind the prisoner
the body the escape

esoteric reaching
who we are
arrives on earth
home
home at last

then it snowed
so dragons
gave us fire
then we burned
but
would rather go skateboarding
have some fun

both
is what we
need
