i like a book i can comfortably crack my head against
bashed together in splendoured pulpy wordmess
remeshed coral-wormed brainpages
silverfished synaptic scribblings
skull stuck back with binding glue

left shaking like a
library return bookmark
in cold desert wind

He had a wife who "loved" him
Two children who "tolerated" him
And three cats who... let's be honest,
who fucking knows with cats
And so he had an affair

That's the life he'd lead right now,
if he had any guts, anyway
Not that I think it'd be right,
understand
And I'd absolutely hate him
(more) if he did it
...but I'd respect him more, too.
For having done something ballsy
For once at least

[[addendum as i'm posting this:
what the fuck have i done?]]

Dark Side is my Catcher

Birth

I think I write so I can look back on it...
...although, I learn more from the past, anyway
In every sense

by the way
Trout Mask Replica
is fucking incredible

Pinkish half-score nostalgia

Sometimes
You look at a cartoon chicken patty
On the side of a box
Of frozen chicken patties
Smiling and shooting a side-bird
     (that's a thumbs-up)
Backward-capped and
Oh, so righteous
So confident

And you feel like dying
And you don't know why
And the answer is why not

Outward-thumbed
Cool-as-shit
Chicken patty
Hitchhiking
Asking for a ride
A friend

Go fuck yourself
Because I love you
No
I want to be you


[05.01.2019 + 05.07.2019]

somewhere there's a universe
where I get
exactly what I want
in this one
and I'm still not content

that's more optimistic than you think
