nothing's calling me.

A chorus rings out for the masses, Chants and banners define the man, Scores of complaint, discontent - The beasts surround me too. There's a theme song for this, There are chords singing - The babies sleep wrapped in a slogan, But this taxonomy is not for me. Babies be birthed bearing banners,... Sign in to see full entry.

journeys and lead

Journeys, trips and journeys - I travel off to nothing and nowhere, Discoveries, smiles and tears - I never blink I stare. My rubber soles have been beaten bare, My lungs veterans of smoke, smog and air - I dug out my sockets, and put in glass eyes, Now I stare at the sun, and he reflects me to the...

Walk

I crave the ocean, But my body's landlocked - I once lusted for freedom, But was enslaved by the clock. I wish to see the stars, But my eyes be so blind - I once dreamed of Life, Such a thing I could never find. I once was a big fish, But my pond be dry now - I asked God to forgive me, He cried and...

chew too much.

My descended soul is free – And my body kin with tree, Because life is not abundant, In our galactic soup-sea. I trip, a drunkard on his back, My eyes absorb the light among the black, I see stars by the millions, Numbers large and I can’t comprehend – There’s more living bacteria in my mouth....

iam

I am the rocky river creek, I am the man that speaks - I am the pressure that creaks, I am the reason my future's bleak, I am snow capped mountain peaks. I am the sand across the Earth, I am the discharge after birth, I am the warm air near hearth, I am the inkling of mirth - I embrace the world... Sign in to see full entry.

look

Look at these things! These cataclysmic, terrible things! Look at the death they bring, To corrupt messages they cling, Listen to the song they sing! Virtual vocal violins, Vibrate viscerally violent, Vibrance vacations from The mean vaccine - Vast vessels claim victory Over vegetable victims -... Sign in to see full entry.

Cold Sheets.

I pulled up cold sheets, Who knows the thread count? Dwelled alone with company in the Cold house of Clause the dormouse, Under couches and sofa-beds, Listening to the humans sleepily Nodding heads – Yeah, I’m a rodent. But I sing and I squeak and I Sing-song-too-long, Until the future no longer... Sign in to see full entry.

strange reflection.

When I live I keep a blank stare, Tempting not questions as to what is there, I am the greatest actor to ever live. I am hilarious, comic in the mind, Serious in my public diction, My mask is perpetual fiction - I am dull stone no one will find, There's too much dirt around me. Inwardly I am poetic,...

Rain falls and it hits me - I'm brittle and frail, Weak man lives inside Formerly powerful youth-body. And if I break, If I crack under the pressure Of a million gifted raindrops, The sky could fall on me And I would be okay - I'd just dissipate, Break down and dissolve... With the water I'd just...

sigh

I rise... Sigh myself awake in the morning, Swing my legs off the podium - And fill my bowl with bones and dust. Break my teeth when I break my fast, Used to have protection, but didn't last, So joyfully I'll bleed for the need, Like a child weeping for baby-feed, I wear my skin now loose and...
