happyhappywarwar
happyhappywarwar
shaking shivering fear fibrillation
an ordinary man in ordinary circumstance

swarthy arms reaching out grabbing
where there is nothing to grab
grips tighten then weaken
throbbing pulsating
holding on to nothing and still losing
pounding the ground with splayed hearts
dripping through bone fingers

suckling pigs gnarling sows tits
snow melts as it hits pavement
she stutters in her mind but not from her lips
a perfect scenario in an imperfect universe
he chews on his arm like a dog on fresh meat
and nothing matters but the spiders smile
the missing parts of the equation coats our skin like paste
an oily emulsion
difficult to remove

the doorbell rings
mediocrity is there
standing with the sun to its back
mediocrity on the television
mediocrity on the radio
mediocrity up our asses
force fed through politics and religion
a winding carpet ride down mildewed paths
strings of life
ensnared dreams
wasted songs of simple pleasure
fragrant deaths of infants sleeping
flopping on bogus souls screaming
stigmata stabbing succulent orbs
sightless in the brilliant light

she cried she cried
she lost her way
lost her scene
her silken lips the whippoorwill
sadness lust sublime
life is hilarious
as it drags its hairy knuckles
on solemn ground

generations of absurdity
on their knees worshipping hidden deity
abusing their children beating their wives
running through razor gardens with hands as feet
and feet as hands
blind leading the blind
we wallow in prolific narcissism
licking our wounds and staring back into the pool again
road kill on the rocks with a side of fries
branding memory with fleeting vengeance

none of really knows much of anything
we deceive ourselves
then try to elaborate
with like mind

scary

born to die
stroking our egos
whispering sweet nothings into our pores
the shadow of Sisyphus twitches its tongue to form syllables
tinkling of wind chimes
wanton lust fused with coital yet brained
periodical prerequisites present funnels of abscessed
and wrinkled spheres equinox equine defined
dis-related phrasing
symbiots reading fallopian passages
swinging dicks in some back street hell
with heat on vixens scent emanating from fire escape window
brute strength not romance succumbs
a dance of testosterone with apathy
sipping nectar from silver chalice
the rain
i hear the rain
a ringing whirring high pitched wind prevails
constant relentless
will not go away
topless women form a human chain
such beauty without clitoral hoods

wormholes in my dreams
light speed
cognizance
wars we do not want
that history must survive
they'll be wearing their own assholes
for gasmasks

the earth shakes with dissolution
a disc jockey slides in Prometheus grease
gray papers with primitive maps

more more film at eleven
mothers walk their strollers down reeling streets with spiked wheels
keeps pterodactyls away
climax controlled
a wet dream without the wet

a fetus twitches inside the womb
the sound of metal clanking
tank tracks
open sewers drip offal
in our faces
rank and file
endemic happiness
smokestack heaving raucous plumes of anti life
the republican lights his cigar
reptilian
crocodile eyes
paranoid aggression
an old woman takes with a worm eaten grin
remnants of gods peace as lepers watch skin fly
in the midst of St. Vitas' dance
a life of useless pandering

we scurry like rats in the headlights of an unknown factor
fighting through the stench of the paper rose
the streets are lined with scarecrows in rocking chairs
knitting woolen booties for dead relatives

we say things like we know things
we know only what we think we know
which in general, is nothing
we believe in our lies
we gratefully feed them to all who will listen

the sensitive writer
sucks his own cock
or wants to
or denies wanting to
then deflects the topic
with falsity

the genius sleeps under faceting alms
palm fronds flitter in scarlet winds
confused, a soldier fires his weapon into the night
a scream can be heard

passersby watch impatiently
their foul ideology
strapped to their throats
they wait for the next strafe

a salmon leaps to spawn in roiling hills
penile penury
spreads its languid hands
around chain saw melody

I am naked floating through sullen skies
without will there is nothing...
