Long Put two and two together Poems

I hope you make it by yourself. 
I’m at a point whereby pointing fingers won’t help anymore

Dreams in slow motion,
Dancing in the lead;
Have you lost control...
Of the long planted seed?

There's ketchup in my veins,
Onions for my eyes,
Lettuce instead of brains
Makes me less than wise

Stringbeans for legs,

I questioned my own being my beliefs and all my morals 
I know I had a...

The raw innocence of a first job interview



I'm sitting at a McDonald's
writing a poem. I save it.

Imagine, you plus me
Picture, things we would see

Crop, all the bad things around
Edit, all the bad sounds

Paste, put two and two together
Cut, all the bad weather

Simplify, what life means to you
Redo, a past you once...

I could cry for hundreds of years,
Shed millions of tears,
Ease my pain by chugging beers
But I chose another path
A way to ease your wrath
I went ahead and did the math
I put two and two together
And...

She smoked my last cigarette and I felt cheated. 
I slept with her best friend; again and again, I repeated. 

They mocked him as he came passing by. 
We laughed, I and them, for not...
