The Chi City Blues

the blogger
is the wretched chicken
laying an asteroid.


the city dweller
is the self identifying
contagious forlorn.


he strives 
for the praise.
he strives 
for a masterpiece.


he is
in fact
a ruffian. 


the breasts 
of equality
the jaw of
rebellion.
the revolutionary
spark plug.


the YES MAN!


in this world,
when you are left to the bone.
no one wants to hear your
********. 
the bull*****baths
of selfless,
powerless,
diminishment
of a character.


they would always
rather have the hero.
the self rising dough. 
the collegiate fortune hunter. 


they say "JUMP!
misery will pull you down!"
way down.


the feel of a fine wine glass.
you hold its hollow delicateness. 
the heart.


contract and expand.
up and down we go.
from filth to pristine sterility. 


'tis better to have a hen tomorrow
than an egg today.
