Long Masochists Poems

I'd give you the shirt off my back
But only because I'd need you to like me
The eyesore that is your beat up honda in the driveway 
I said I would call but I can see...

cheer the hell up if you can
nothing cheats the hangman like enthusiasm
since my next act will be
to answer all your questions
as your tenured professor of dyslexia
throw down your eye wear
blurry is the truth
although your blur...

Crying
Fix the damn house
She done
Paid to me
Ain’t gonna happen
When rent come?
Please don’t drag the pope across the
Carpet irish boy

Nana
He lying

Born military
Gonna die military?
Email a senator
Rejected by electricity
Suffer disgust
While Americans die
In poverty
Free speech from there
Doesn’t eclipse
Guarantee...

I think I've found the address to hell
There's a jukebox even laughter
And sad stories to tell
Our souls are long gone
From the heartache we've felt
I think I've found the address to hell

Just off of Main St.,...

where does love come from?
where does love stop?
i've met too many that speak of its nonexistence
i know far too many sadists, 
masochists, pessimists, nihilists
and i had to shake them all off 
on my long-winded ride...

Like retired folk for Florida, the British for their tea,
Like China is for foreign debts, trash dumpers for the sea...
Like Russians are for alcohol, and Ethiopia'd be for rain,
Like Catholic priests for altar boys, like...

Love is Love - and other absurd truisms

“Love is love” is like “Follow your bliss”
a way to deflect the moral agency 
and subsequent consequence of our desires
with...

anyone else would be hard pressed
to find an 8x8 that brought with it 
stronger bars, harder concrete,
less sustenance provided & 
a bed that would put the iron maiden to
shame,
when it comes to the prison of...

There's gonna be a Freaker's Ball,
tonight at the Freaker's Hall.
Everyone's invited one and all,
so come on ladies grease your lips 
grab your hats and swing your hips
and don't forget to bring your whips. 
I'll take...

Hypocritical, unethical, selfish, and unlearned
        Under developed use of our overstated minds
           Militant masochists tend to rule this...

At times when life seems full of shit
and you are growing tired of it,
when joy's been torn from out your soul
and left you feeling far from whole.

It's then that you, and you alone
can find another...

Love is an authority.
It dictates choice and consequence
and joins together all the wayward lamenters
who grieve at their loss of purity.

Love is an actuality.
It breathes new life into masochists
who wished to die a thousand times over
and...

Shadorma Form:

Turning tides
know nothing of my
nightmares, still
they seem to
manifest them every day;
reality’s stage.

Each rolling
wave, playing out its
scenes with such 
vigilance
so as to traumatize me

I order,
torture me no more!
Yet deaf waves
continue;
gyroscopic fingers that
fondle my...

god, made in mans illusion
our egocentric minds create
deities of grand delusion
or of demonizing enemies
up before we find our cause
totalitarian reign of gods
or democratic masochists
finding naught but disappointment
together bound somnambulists
heretical self rightousness
ever bring faithful relief
machinations or...
