“Tessellate” 

on the surface
it’s easy to see
we tessellate

inadvertent 
decorative ostentatious
flirtatious lives taking risks 

with the other sides
planned strategic functional 
quantity rich quality lacking

Human

opposites 
like magnets attract, it all fits 

we think it...

As hapless vapors of decay, surround us, suffocating the fecund earth. A blanket of suffocating grey, born from the diseased aspirations of humanity. We, the self-appointed masters of a planet in shambles, gaze upon the...

this cautious man (bobby jean) born in the u.s.a.
grownin’ up in the badlands of atlantic city

Please don’t blame the automatic weapon
that synagogue killed me, tragically,
the other day
The hands which held it
are Second Amendment clean — 
Gunpowder washed in crimson water
of dogma purity

I was just the latest recipient
of an over-the-counter, scarlet...

That surrounds me,
To consume...

Red paper hearts,
Sailor-Clipped,
Arrows piquing interest.

Ripe for the picking.
He chose Friday
And she chose a prince.

Aladdin, a rough diamond
Would shake the snowglobe.
I’m dizzy...

Weaving a web in between lies and deceit,
Dangling there, constantly, just...

The shadowy, nightmarish silhouette imp
of a thousand horror newscast,

Keeping those silent eyes
glued to the vile, video killing screen
Black Plague monstrosity figurine

You come here with your will of steel
and make me want to cry.
Fate laughs and spins the roulette wheel
as you sit patiently by.

I've felt it from the start.

I feel like Archimedes building calculus from scratch;
Got a lever I can lean on, but the fulcrum doesn’t match.

And every roulette wheel.
They help you cheat at blackjack
By sweetening the...

Although we should all be grateful for survival
I’d rather be declared dead on arrival
