The Phases of Faces

is up down or whatever

sky stares down the gaze
but chin is still uplifted
as rain l...

No Luck For The Masses

...No Luck For The Masses

Reversed into a corner where there is no way out 
Rehearsed by a performer who likes to scream and shout 
Inverses like a reformer who doesn’t know what he’s talking about...

My Michigan Home

Begotten to Fail 

The strutting hustlers 
rouse their slumberous day 
amidst their maddened worlds  
In the midst 
of the wary ghetto
A dream steps out 
blinking, yawning with a resolv...

The thing about killing Angels
you have to remember is always go for the kill shot
Most of them can easily take a grenade to the face

Go Tell It

...In a space reserved for not thinking
a TV blames itself for telling lies to you.

It's another fake cathartic moment.
A wall clock coughs into its hands,

Mouthing a bullet proof prayer -
