Love On the Rocks, Johnnie

They say that nothing is free amid this world
Most definitely, depending upon who as whom....
High crime scratch their eyes spinning broken vinyl 
Time your daddy was lying to you hitch because there's 
No truth betwixt his parched crumbling destitute lips tilting
Tides this crown of mine castles atop the sand another hail mary
Goal line stand goodbye crackling road your candle burned out long before
Bay's seaweed paresis door, ever will ? Quicksand note Joey's got a boat white sharks.

Turbulence

A night out with mosquitoes      for a sharp
comment of urgency      to end the war after a decapitated
unnamed flesh of words    found six inches short
I can write only poems     This very ordinary life appears
to be worthless

without vocabulary     unsemantic  between us   I am
enslaved alive    going beyond the stings in my
heart     I try to find my voice burning inside    a never
gone pain     do you hear me    I am very lonely in the 
jungle of falls     Am I descending

infarcts are spreading    the paresis    inability
to raise the finger    fear of manuscript   I am
never   was there in cloudless desert   the starless
night   moonless sky   it is very dark    Out 
of emptiness comes an explosion   Is it     a new creation
