You start to count.
First on the days, then the hours - then
Just counting until 100

I used to write like
Jack Kerouac.
Words
crumbling down
paper. 
Stark thoughts
marked
by dots

climb over
to be
someone different. 
I never saw life
through a dot.
LSD.
My father
was on mushrooms,
when he and my mother
created me.

One boy she boyded and sugared,
Just to finish in the net of Mr. Death.

steeply self immersed

Deer Ruby,

Crack-ed craniums,  splintered personalities
Neural pathway of coping escape
led to a padded place for shattered identities

Disposable souls, which fell thru the cracks,

Concrete tares of bipolarity

On an early September morn
Sitting at work in my chair
My heart was completely torn

Panic on the ground

In the swamplands where life,

Of love and good humor,
And inventive fun,
We were tired but happy,
When day was done.

One evening my uncles,
Were...

default, your domain undisputed,
a challenge to accept,
that we are the exception,
never asking exemption,
this said without pretention,
to come across the fulcrum,
you would know the tension,
a fate which lies in question,
 
how are we defined,
what is deviation,

It's another night in the month of fall,
I'm just a nobody, barely got a fellow, 
But i'm very special in the eyes of them all.
