about

Life is a toxin, you just can’t flush

Beauty in it’s ways, but the piece is rough

never fits the puzzle see if love

is what it’s made of, then keep it up

Can the Oxytocin counter the dopamine rolling

that’s what she’s hoping, we’ll see in the morning

puppy love and I got a litter homie

Not an alliteration, you don’t know me

When D used to have to practically roll E

Was it a bmx or in a wheelchair with chromies

One was a nurse, one was a mess

both wondered had he quit this yet

it’s an outside answer, get a hook wet

With the blood water fish float net

diminishing returns bet, I’m your vent

You’re talking through, breathing toxic fumes

The more you made it seem a lot to you

The more gas you consumed

We thought this distance was breathing room

this process, focus, clocked in, sequence doom

I get there will you still be in a believe me mood?

Or is this more darkness I’m creeping through?

Skinny and swift enough to dodge rain drops

Played God to the Blake pawn til I made off

To where the pains gone, brain clot, vein popped

Gave away what I saved, a lot

Not getting it in, knock knock jokes

digital to the dewey decimal decibal drinking hole

so few of us can actually survive this withdrawal, lost all hope, in climbing low, silent hole

Flow change

Already grieved, already pulled apart

don’t leave my skin, you haven’t left my art

You’re my peace, I’m a dog chasing cars

It won’t cease, til my return to space and stars

*one* first for everything, meddled in til

*two* welcome still smitten, lover sinking in the kitchen

*three* boiling hot stove sitting, frogs dead, didn’t get it

*four* soon golfing rich kid, his matching addictions

You’re menacing, your eyes full of dark

Breathing gasoline, hand you hold all sparks

Gasp breath, you thief, last oxygen passes heart

chose lawns, tents, cars, sheets laid with in the ashes of the hearth

She said it then with mouth or a spoonful of cinnamon

as medicine, I never have been clear as to what the message is

any debate there is never settlement

memory may love time, but it’s passage boosts investments

said with a deadness, memory will leave this town depressed and friendless

to find a better living through chemistry

meant to be, looking around, among frenemies

fragile enough, still lending me, lovers still texting me

Want my mind, leave you be, but you’ll easily forget about me

what keep sakes, do you want to keep Blake

On your complete date and your trip through release gates

What of this glimpse will you freeze frame

Drums to beat this pace I’m marching

*in* memory of winter solstice eclipse, supermoon harshes

*our* walking away could we really be what it harkened

*gone* but never giving in, AWOL build personality in compartments

*mind* your p’s and q’s before the ale turns to tears you wept.
