is often translated as church,
but could also be thought of as a civilization
acting civilly,

Occupied of dirty laundry
Comic books
And Chuck Palahniuk
This grungy fume
Smells of coffee beans
Stirred with cigarette butts
And dirty feet
Neutral Milk Hotel is singing
Through that dirty old stereo of yours
On top is a stack of
Scratched up mixes I...

with sleeping mist you sprayed on your pillows
hoping, for moments gone grey and still,

Let your joy be a top secret,
As none will spread red carpet,
In fact, they will deeply regret,
Curses from them, you will get.

EMOTIONAL RECIPROCITY

Anger is an acceptable and normal emotion,
but I must not be;
such an emotion is only for the free.
No matter the commotion,
I must take care not to act abnormally.
No matter what’s happening to me,
I must...

Known as Jesús he was.
Known to be abnormally alive.
A gregarious thinly woven figure
in any overly large space.
The city contained him
kept him buzzing under its glass eyelids.

He said he had Jesus wounds.
Would lift up his T,...

abnormally fritter into some quaint spurious
void  known as passage.
Time's colossal collateral bequeathed unbeknownst
to...

far in the forests
deep down in the undergrowth
easier to find 
in hindsight of open minds 
there appears the slender man

he has not a face
and is often found walking
stalking silently
he makes himself known through fear
though hidden...
