My thumbs in my mouth as saliva drips out

taste like there's dirt in my finger nail

look at my hand, the others are clean

but one is painted by that Asian girl I met last night

...don't know...

Republican 'Sandburs!' 

Republican sandburs are such an annoyance,
This kind of a weed seems to love to hitch ride,
They scoff at man's brotherhood, scorn to share taxes
Humanity sometimes, well, feels set aside.

Of course, there are weeds...

“The heaventree of stars” (in Ulysses as said Joyce)
“hung with humid nightblue fruit” (ah that Bloomian voice)
could evoke a masterpiece the world has come to know,
The Starry Night, so treasured now, by Vincent van Gogh…

I miss the colorful past.

I remember how it would blow past me,
encompass my entire being.
Its hues gave me hope,
made my chest swell with glee
when the pure lights danced upon my fingertips.

Until everything changed.

It was when...

For all the hurt and pain I felt
A few times I even tried to Kurt Cobain myself
But I picked up a pen and these words came to help

Why are you crying?
Has anyone died?
Or did someone hurt you?

I think both, right?

You cry angrily, punching your chest.
You try to remember the heart that you're still alive
Your face disfigures as the figures appear in your...

If I could loan you my heart for a week I would.

Maybe we would trade hearts, so I could understand...

Relief will come
in little steps
each passing day
a small step
closer
to the edge
of life again...

a little piece
a little glimpse
of who we used to be

a holiday
has come and gone
and every song
is new again
without 
that part
of "us"
that used to...

Pain in the arse
Pain in the neck
Neck with a bolt
Neck that’s been wrecked
Wrecked on the sands
Wrecked on the beach

Reach for the stars
Reach for the sky
Sky brilliant blue
Sky high for you
You...

So off she does run
For sometime away from her bloke

So into the country she heads
This blonde who is...

So many close calls
That could've ended my life right now
So many close calls
I gotta be a soulja right...

Surrounded by the enemy

Walking, crawling, sliding their slimy bodies on the ground

People you once knew

Shared time with, loved, cared for

Mothers, neighbors, 4th grade teachers

Call them what you will

The undead

ghouls

Walkers

No matter what you call them they...

My biggest most gigantic fear, the child Edward said

Rotting away inside the living room wall
I hear you and your new family
Playing board games
Loving Monopoly 
They sound so happy
If only they knew how you disfigured me
Every time you touch the wall
I think about the...

She has always been dead-right.
She hangs on for the ride.
She has caused protection.
(Hoping against hope I am crying to your arms)    

She knows that she will die.
But she will march straight in

Do you know how it Feels?
When Rejection Reveals.
It always Hurt to Know,
but you have to Accept.

My Heart Aches whenever you Reject me,
Whenever they look at me Straight in the Eye,
I always think they Despise me.
