For you
I would
create a mixtape
which I know is an ancient technology but
with me and you it is just that simple.
I race to you like we used to rush into each other's arms in highschool
where our...

I move my life to marching drums,
carving paths into my bare palms.
You showed me how to play apathy

I've never begged to a silent god more than
when I dreamed of empty tables

(instead...

“ GOD … How I Appreciate The Complexities ! … “
I Appreciate The Intricate, Just-So, Subtleties
The Intellectual Nuances and Imposed Perfunctories
That Separates Our Minds, From The Minds Of Beasts …

It
was him,
and immediately
I  felt  the very moment he
too, saw me as I entered  the room.  
I averted my eyes, seemingly not magnetized,

Can your calluses callus enough that God’s touch
will not touch a nerve ending (to reach you) if God

to eyes — a smorgasbord of colors
but that’s not what i see

a canal lock

bulging, ready to burst
the big bang

Tell me that my lips feel the most like home
and that when you're alone

HEMISPHERIC RUMBLINGS 

Lightening that flashes between two hemispheres
Hail falling in droves behind the eyelid’s curtain
Showered hair standing up in precipitation’s fight
Each nerve ending sharing primordial foreboding

MIND MUSCLE

Steroid cocktails, metallic flavor, Viagra rush; 
Mind numbing mush!

Sightless vision, cloudy comprehension, silent violence, whimpering misogyny; a blood-curdling hush…

Nervous perspiration, brain freeze, lactic acid rush; Gray matter atrophy flush! Dissipating oxygen accompanied by synapses...
