home again, repeat
cook, clean, scrape change off the road
buy generic brands

buy on sale only
borrow if you can, cheap queen
beg if you have too

Did some one say 60 shopping days till Christmas??...

White walls are bland,
Generic coloring without style.
They have no dash or daring do,
People plaster them with posters and pictures.
White walls garner no comment,
Except when they have flaws.

Is that why nice guys finish last?...

My roots are trembling
through clay orgasm,
tumbling the landslide
that speaks every shake or so.
Leo roars and I await life,
Generic roving rumbles
reminding me of the world around,
but I never remember
how to cling to the ground....

Generic Love For The Bakery Couple


butcher went to bed with his cookie cutter
and baker opened her oven for his flutter
a recipe mix and bake
generic love to shake
dough rises bringing cake mold to shutter

Oh to break the generic bonds- 
that bind us to this mundane world-
to fly away on paths unknown
beyond mere empty words-
to stretch beyond our mortal reach
and capture unseen worlds-
and imprison them for posterity,
on paper, with pen and immortal words....

Breathe in.
Out.
A chore for yourself.
Lungs fill slow, 
Too slow.
You're impatient.

Don't exhale.
Hold it in.
Let the breathe become 
part of you.

The only clean part of
you.

Hold it in until
hazy.
Dry lungs,
don't fall down.
Let go now...

Breathe out.
In....

he did not respond
she said something generic
but her tone was harsh

he did not argue
she approached him angrily
did not work at all

he took some deep breaths
as he watched her veins popping
she was no expert

he left quietly
because rage had blinded her
and she could not see...

Generic flying, eating healthy, fly like a cockney
Like a Martial Arts beast, like a young terri'ble.
So far so good, driving force, all cards in hand, why not?
I can breath fully, stop the intoxicants.
Healthy like a peach, living well, rich, powerful.
Living like royalty, wealth, aspiration, money....

Spray paint your grass!
Tofu all meat!
Borrow their cash!
Glue on eyelash!
YOU REMAIN DISCRETE!

Generic every brand!
Plastic = plant!
Top soil your land!
Fake bake Tanned,
BUT YOU STILL CAN'T!

Zirconium your diamond!
Wig your head!
Fuel you've siphoned!
Use product then refund!
OUTCAST TILL YOUR DEAD!

If the rhythm is on like the beat of a drum
That's AI

And you see clever metaphor the likes never seen before
That's AI

Nothing said is too deep that you'd lose one ounce of sleep
That's AI

No grammatical mistakes to keep you awake
That's AI

So don't trust generic theme that weaves you into a scene
(Everybody) Because it's AI

thinking with my
head voice while
speaking with
my speaking voice
while texting with
my sign language
finger tips that often
play chords on my
string strung wooden
box that occupies
my singing voice
all happening all
at the same time
as elevator musak
in a different time
signature not
knowing if i'm
going up or
down or stuck
on one floor...

22 Falcon's in a row flying
side by side in formation 

Upon a suicide mission

To save a flailing meerkat

Far away from home way off course 

Into a blocked trap cul-de-sac with
no way out

Begin dropping 1 bye 1

Until and so 44 broken feathered wing's

Can be used to make Dream Catcher's

In order to be sold in generic gift 
shops tent off the reservation...

There's a star in me
Crushed under my heart
Waiting to escape
To burst through my skin, my shirt
Weeping beams of light
There's a star in me
Who doesn't like whispers
Or subtle hues of blue and grey
But the loudness of shouts
And red amaryllis
There's a star in me
Who doesn't like generic avatars
For Facebook profiles
But wants to be known by its name
Its shine undimmed...

Little do I care if bleach is generic
Or if fabric softener or detergent
Some bad personality flaws become chronic
Little do I care, if well you really meant

What brings me care is negative remarks spoken_
Harsh words pour forth like rain released kinetic
Energy, power released never to be unbroken
Words that leave my heart's state of being semantic

Strumming the four strings,
Got my fingers vibrating,
Those jingled nerve endings,
And reached my spine and brain,
The tones that came out,
Were melodious and sweet,
They tingled my ear drums,
It reached brain and perhaps spine,
And felt good,
I continued to strum,
And noticed nearby ears “tingled” too,
Man makes music,
Music makes man too,
Believe it- in many senses its true....

Sloping down in gold pursuit 
of a bruised city,
sons of nameless fathers
were changing the generic mandate.

I am becoming fluvial 
going on a muted odyssey
to find unmarked graves.

Slaughtering 
your own lines, in praise of end-
which came very soon;
before the windows altered the moon.

Genes spilled on the road
recalling the wounded
son whose lexicon took him
to war with the meanings.

Different People

To one, I am him
A guy and a generic cis male
To another, I am zim
Me, and not a front to sale
To one, I act normal
Just any other guy
To another, I act abnormal
I act like me and not a societal passerby
To one, I like girls
Straight, cis boy
To another, I like some girls,
But more guys and others, in joy
To one, I am not me
To another, I am to be

Sweety, you are only imagining the floaters and the sounds
And the lights, and the carpet, and the television, and your friends
Honey, I understand exactly what you mean!
Everyone experiences this very generic simply-stated sentence that you've heard a thousand times and are not experiencing at all
Sweetheart, you don't have that! You're just making that up!
Just like everything else in your life...

One percent milk chided the butter about its worth,
And the eggs got all cracked up at the stock boys’ jokes.
Nutty candy bars laughed joyfully at all the mirth,
But all shunned the outcast; a pack of generic smokes.

Ground Chuck had just been through the grinder
Yet he was glad when he encountered fresh, hot buns.
Over in health and beauty, condoms became a reminder,
Trash magazines spreads all; Hot and cross rolls share puns!...
