When I was in grade school
I was, already, 
on my leftbrain dominant path
toward acting the intellectual snob.

This, in large part
my best offense,
my trump card, sadly,
against marginalizing prejudice
of our community's non-farmer economic
and political Elite;

The few kids
whose...

Three years deep into freedom
And yet perhaps as tied down now as I was then
Scars are scars because they do not vanish
Fade as they might, that skin is numb forever

As a being made of scar...

Beelzebub arrived between the christmas lights strung inside my dorm,
Buzzing on my walls and brain to display what he must warn.

Voices scream inside my head when no one is around,
Dragging me deeper into my mind...

"50 Words for Poe: St John"

Sinjun for short

Watch the multi-tasking drivers talking on the phone.
This is a story of our daily life-style that we overlook and condone.
Recognize the familiar a.m. and p.m. rush-hour cast? 
Could this be you in traffic on the...

A relay of moods dribbles on and on
when euphoric tunes kick in:
Jazz, R& B, slow funk, wild pop
igniting primal ecstasy, in the flesh...raw!

Live music leaves me breathless
as thuds of a drum, the intricate fondling
from saxophones...

My body is awash with serotonin,
Endorphin and adrenaline,

I pounded the pavement with such fury,
With earphones, with such fury,
On ears, Metallica pounded mine

I followed the track with such determination,
While frustrations, with such determination,
Followed me

I felt the...

Laying here worrying
What’s on your mind?
Your silence stab’s my soul
And I’m left here wondering
What is going wrong?

Looking through photos of you
Makes me smile, you’re so Beautiful
You’re so wonderful
I want you to always be mine

Something’s gone...

There's so much left unsaid
questions unanswered
and reasons to stay
But you were taken away
I keep thinking we'll all wake up

and for a split second, a moment, I forget
and each morning...

Keeping it away from harm; 
Cortisol leaves...
