The machine lit up like a small cathedral— chrome saints hopping under glass, the silver gospel of the pinball spinning wild between my hands. It was my birthday— twenty-one— and free beers rang up like prayers. Each flipper slap a hallelujah, each tilt shrugged off in neon glare. The hours blew away like cheap confetti. The undulating sidewalk tilted just before I did, and the keyhole danced just out...

...its payback time for reckless meanderings of youth laughter at another's expense all mouth and no ears punk now a pinball called karma flashes a tilt sign inside my head... a favorite hobby was banging heart strings until their heart chambers bled now mine is liquifying into a reservoir of regret.. its payback time for poisons once poured into this temple of flesh self inflicted now its...

Drifting vacant skies, forever on wings, Is little blackbird, whose heart ever sings! Soaring in mellow sunshine, nowhere a care, Like a Parkside picnic in the sunny glare! Darling of the blue, and marshmallow clouds, At times seen alone, oftentimes in crowds! Pretty blackbird, which place is your home? And whatever wanderlust causes you to roam? Gracefully you fly on gold skies of...

And so I ponder my frailities as give giveness to the/they that are in response to my/your parental misgivings, the way windward wade their roughened cinder complexities confided to an annotated disgfiured desire-repost postured, annotized rediculum of the come-what-may forensics of a culprit coined society that pre-ill-determines the ever/always socio-intelli-gent billing, all-so highly coi-tol-exonerated to...

Tilt a World
Rock the boat, tilt the world, Break my heart, tear my souls, Steal my hope, ruin my dreams, Give me love, show me life, Lead the direction, brighten my path, Hold my arm, far from the edge, Tell me lies to keep me afloat, Board the ditch which i slowly dug, I swear a rest...

Terra Tilt-A-Whirl - For My Father
a dream as years go by, water clock drip ticks, another revolution, minutes flown away, hearts fluttered wide, sepia childhood silhouetted, a grip lost in snap-the-whip, and glimpsing restless spirits, crowding heaven’s gate, gold plated, iron bound, others just waiting, familiar indistinct, while clouds like knotted cotton, frame a high blue portico above, a formless basilica, slow vision of his spirit, becomes a shining arrow knock’d, loosed at that far off shore, flown...

Tonight it starts again. The longing for something I can’t have. A life that is meaningful. I claw and scrape the surface of humanity. A bubble that wont’ be burst. I am on the outside looking in. Tilt-o-whirl dreams spin out of control until I am dizzy. I need to...
