Ego Games, and Misunderstanding.
(The Death of A Friendship.)

Abandon ship and run away...
Abandon this and come away... 
Clean. Unscathed, or so you choose 
to perceive.
But believe, with knowledge of your 
history,

Remember it just like yesterday 
'Twas the sixth of August, independence day
Manley called the election, Busta took the drive

THE EMPRESS OF IRELAND

Two mighty workhorses, colliding Titans,
Leviathans of the Saint Lawrence river.

Emerging on the starboard side, a distant...

Collisions avalanche, beneath the icy
Waves, of the North Atlantic.

A maritime giant, became crimsoned,

Given to this colossus,...

With the slams and the pitching the ship could...

all of my enemies and even some of

mirrors refract of blue, grays and greens
molded together, patchwork of leans
drowning withouts more than floating withins
mindsided promises, neglectful of ends
dripdry conundrums in, neat stagnant rows
labias monotonous, pink ugliness grows
necrofeelya coagulants, defy deadbeat hearts
knooseful riddance, mattressinal...

rescued and surviving the North Atlantic sea,
Fate is a fickle friend, to have upon your side, 
For if destiny is written, there’s no need to have a guide.

blazing hot like cayenne pepper,
especially in adolescent years,
malleable youths
bend and capitulate
to peer pressure;
 grown folks take the bait, too.
it could be a simple
"try this like the rest of us cool kids!"
or just an effortless nudge...

Waters around the Arizona seethed,
burned with blood and oil
as Chaos gripped the Harbor.

Uncle Bud reeled about the deck.
His voice rising against the din:
“Abandon ship!  Abandon ship!
Abandon the goddamn ship.”

That afternoon

When everyone wants peace,
but war is reality.
When love should conquer hate,
but they only retaliate.

they say that there is no God.
They say,...

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, 
it blackens as it draws near, 
a cumulonimbus in towering form, 
extending to the troposphere, 

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
break free while there's still time, 
'cause...
