Paradise gained

Remains unknown
and famous
the promise of nowhere

never had you
never wanted to
made you a ring

if you lived here
you’d be home by now

Going backwards

Inherit your destiny
your time traveling dna
your endangered future
the guarantee

rapid in a slow lane
injured
by a knife
and fork

free if you have money
otherwise
pay in advance

the beekeeper has nightmares
the sun refuses to shine

a warm meal
toast for the mourning
a lifetime adventure
celebrating unity

the death
of the emperor

Target

Puts
A bullet
In my soul

How
Do I get to the Jupiter
Or Saturn

Says
It all with a smile

comfort

alone
just the ghosts
for comfort

while dying

i was alive
all for a good cause
achieving the unwanted
now the law of understanding
finally
while dying

all right got to go
tomorrow beckons
the sleepless night
necessary

the gift of life escalated
afterlife currency
meaningful christmas
a birthday with candles
then cake

Bada Din
what i have right now
the more i know
the less i understand
perfectly imbalanced
sufficiently fulfilled
how do you see yourself

while dying

PSA

get it
do not want it
not so
loud and clear
ignorance
takes over

learn more
changing into
what

tragic
god left heaven
to govern america
closes your eyes
open

just like before
only worse

realize

funny
so i laugh
sad
so i still laugh
being an idiot
with a big heart and
realize
i’m next
hit the garage
close the door
turn on the engine
and relax

a senior citizen

gone to soon
had to leave early
looking for a map
the gps broken

 

always carry a mallet
a symbol a start a
finish
an ending
an old
beginning

 

he looks like
he just molested
a senior citizen

 

the business of predicting
incessant visions of shoes
filled with feet filled
with tomorrows no
holding on

dull pin

lived in a tree
then
fell in love
with fire

acquainted with commitment
write a song about living

a full circle
from a straight line
authentic and oblique
wanting to be attractive

a new relationship
full of pride
and prayer

bring your toolbox
bring scissors and paper
bring a credit card
forget your pin

glowing
an idiot in
charge

final

got the car
not the title
got the house
not the keys
so we wait
looking up
abandoned
on a beach
of excellence

go see it
bring a sandwich

the very first step
taken every morning
makes me dance
in the afternoon
maybe what i’m here for

get started
then
finally done
