Flint

Flint 
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

Veiled

"Lizzie Borden took an axe,
gave her mother forty whacks,
when she saw what she had done,
gave her father forty-one,
she washed herself from a watered pail,
she claimed their lies and vicious tales,
she pled not guilty and moaned...

We like to dance here every night,
Moving slowly at the speed of light.
Won’t you give yourself half a chance,
Even two left feet are alright.

The Bipolar Coaster is an excellent...

The Mime of Crow

Take my lips from me, steal my teeth
Rip my voice from my throat
Throw a wrench at my voice box, there's no point in the lock
Sorry for being abrupt, carrying this halfway through a morning tune
But...

Had weathered all seasons and crossed heaven and hell

Tempted his fate and good fortune at times but...

You criticized me to the end of my 
existence. I completely lost myself, simply 
sitting made me anxious.

Taxidermist

You a ferrous metal and I a magnet
Drawn to you by design,
Yet sin degrades all
With it’s terror and it’s squall.

On my worst days
When I listen to the liar
Saying “It’s okay its natural
Like breathing
Or seething.”

Desires denied
Sorrows...

But you find community in your elderly...

On Monmouth's Fields, Part I

General Clinton led British troops north,
forced to abandon Philadelphia,

Brine of the Anxious Marinator

Come sit and I will serenade
A sad, colossal flub,
A tale about a marinade.
(Well, truthfully a rub)

It is a long and sordid tale;
Not sure where to begin.
My sensibilities assailed,
Yet I must jump on in.

The task at...

in sunshine colored dresses.

I am too much annyoid with taught...

Brothers of Jail

Its not my fault
deny it all
self righteous denial

cry all night to wash your hands clean

Some Words Scribbled On Scrapp and Yes Yet Another Mind Trap

And I’ve caught on to your shameful smiles
And all your “I’ll be...
