catch

bamboozled
describes yesterday
And today too
just not tomorrow

A poster child for loneliness I
believe I
saw you on a milk carton
my joy and sorrow

various states of inebriation
the moon was out
and it was Christmas

the thing is I
never drink milk

someday something will happen

so
throw me a fucking bone
I’ll play catch

must you

took a picture me
sitting in the cockpit
nervous about to hit the
button that says
launch

went to the university

according to science
according to the training
manual
take the bus
to a job
nobody has or wants

energy efficient alcohol
now finally sold in
va

see you tomorrow everybody
maybe

increasing clouds and showers
high of minus seventeen

where do I live
and where do I get carp
the lovely fish that
no one seems to want

so thrilled so collaborated
took 2 minds to figure
I’m out

own

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

candlelight

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

up drafting

welfare for politicians

whenever you lie
whatever you say
does not matter

here
you just might
slide off a mountain

alarm clock

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

extreme

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

both

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

animated

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

early

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