    how come
    i mean
    how come
    it takes chaos
    to soothe my brain
    to vanquish the static
    til just thoughts remain
    disdain for the top
    redundancy of the bottom
    i asked it to stop
    it said "sorry"
    disingenuous plots
    to take what little i've got
    make me a sot
    damned to a cot
    ...
    away with thee! this ain't free
    as i scream "inequity!"
    your soliloquy is sickening
    left
    right
    pro
    con
    fucking fraud

    7 am
    cold maté in hand
    my back hurts

    DMV
    waiting in line
    sorry, go home

    deer park
    but they don't drive
    sewage ain't sweet

    fly on kettle
    the metal is hot
    no melting

    rosy red bird
    never heard the word
    om

    little cream house
    hospitable to despots
    fuck dachshunds

    william blake
    that's my name
    no relation

    what IS in a name?
    besides letters
    a record of actions?
    alphabetized debts?
    categorized regrets?
    nah

    it's right to write
    just share it
    if you dare it
    watch them snare it
    twist it
    personalize it
    include dilute and conclude it
    doesn't matter
    they didn't brew it

    i am me
    but what is i?
    a man? a beast? a soul? a priest?
    no
    i is the least
    last among men
    ripe with 'sin'
    contemptful doubtful prideful fool
    lies are sweet when mixed with trust
    immortality or bust!
    then bust
    i am nothing
    nothing is everything
    but things are perishable
    or are they?
    this body
    this can for the 'soul'
    well
    hell
    i poked a hole
    i pour myself out
    into the dish called earth
    and it's worth every agonizing drip
    the trip has started
    though foul winds blow
    i have a grip
    all i have is all there is
    i need not proclaim this
    only gently grasp your wrist
    free your mind from the confusion twist
    and fall into love's flighty bliss
    it's so nice
    let's do it twice

    so much
    longing
    wanting
    needing
    yearning
    hungry souls seeking fruits of man
    kind compassionate love and peace
    a constant battle raging on the city's streets
    unity and division are states of mind
    finding the way to leave behind
    the tormenting hounds of the sad status quo
    infinite army of countless john does
    encircling your flesh
    bombarding your mind
    quietly they watch you unwind
    be a civilized man!
    buy!
    sell!
    fuck!
    yell!
    fall into line

    lay to rest the tiring sun
    so the world can come undone
    and lay it's burden on the crying moon
    she hangs there listening
    tear like diamonds glistening
    remembering those who've known her face before
    and sought more
    all she had she gave away
    and no man can ever say
    she ever turned away one who cried to her
    but every now and then she hides
    seeking shelter from the lies
    the slings and arrows of the two-tongued ape
    you and i

    beat on feet
    powdered faces disapprove
    to solve the puzzle
    to find the clues
    first you must see there's nothin' to lose
    it's all in your head
    it's all in your head
    IN... YOUR... HEAD
    YOUR HEAD
    it's being fed
    fed fast food by the dude on the corner in double breasted golden arc
    dark seems the best time to work
    not for him
    defies convention
    on the pretense he's herding swine
    perhaps beings bovine
    chomping his cud
    and spuds
    all in greasy duds
    munch munch KAH-RUNCH!
    burnt black plastic shard of former potato-ey splendor
    rendering the canvas full of chartreuse strokes
    and jokes and rhyme and song
    doesn't belong
    an artichoke amongst avocados
    steve in the world of john does
    suppose he can fly
    suppose he would try
    if he can't
    he'll fucking die

    eagle-eyed matrons in clean white
    beaded braids
    beatific humility personified
    except inside
    inside they hide
    innumerable scars
    lashings received when conventions were defied
    and the man she stood beside
    decided to run
    her left alone and wounded
    being on bench outside town
    down by the side of the road
    drowned in her clean white clothes
    when the gypsy clown came
    he brought her back
    taught her his hustle and how to distort facts
    dilute them to the consistency of nothing at all
    so as to cause the fall
    collapse of the wall
    and i needn't go on with it
    CLICK! BA-BOOM BANG!
    the pangs won't quit
    i'm sick
    of it
    all i see
    hear fear smell and tell
    used to be love
    except now it troubles me
    down on the sidewalk watching the
    clean
    white
    cunts

    walkin' down the street one day
    i came upon a man who looked up to say
    the way i'se livin' was skewed indeed
    designer minds push designer greed
    i agreed and strolled away
    bit it was 'leventhirty an' i'se in bed til' 2 that day

    i'm a ten
    but she's a twelve
    she's the wall
    and i'm the shelf
    she shakes and i fall
    she crumbles and that's all
    she wrote it
    i just read it
    speak it think it
    breathe and believe it.

    meadow cold azure and gold
    unfolds the path straight and fast
    forget yourself
    forget your things
    time to fly, strap on your wings
    colours feel
    colours steal
    colours lie
    and they can't die
    live inside your eye

    wind and grind get lost behind
    lift the curtain see for certain
    who you are and what you'll be
    stay a while and sing to me
    songs of love and songs of lust
    all are righteous, all are just
    sound is colour round and round
    sing to me your lovely sounds
    want to feel
    want to steal
    i am colour
    taste like thunder

    the road is long, drink is strong
    how'd i ever get along?
    sun eclipsed by sinking ships
    horns and bells and chains and whips
    plastic sun is gone at last
    gotta go, better run fast
    brother, i ain't goin' back to jail
    cut the anchor man, it's time to set sail

    the day is starting to unwind
    sun has fallen off behind
    fades like hope
    that you'll be here soon

    sittin' in your garden flowers
    been sittin' here for hours
    pick pink gold and green
    all just for you

    i heard the window open
    saw your daddy up there scopin'
    hopin' when he left
    he'd headed back to bed

    then the sky turned red
    there's a gun against my head
    and i crawled for the door
    hopin' you'd rescue me

    you were sittin' in the corner
    my eyes were filled with wonder
    you couldn't care less
    about your loved one's life

    said you were goin' off to college
    leave alone my foliage
    then it hit me
    supersonic terror rain steel

    cars wizzin'
    steel blizzard
    on the concrete snake
    breakin' my mind
    what i left behind
    a veritable hell
    kinda like jail
    only more like a concentration camp
    so damp
    soggy and moist
    like my girl back home when we'd bang all night

    down in the mix
    gas pedal sticks
    what's with this?
    feel i've got to move

    half-past six
    world is all sick
    gimme a kiss
    cause i feel i've got to move

    sun is shinin'
    baby's cryin'
    love is dyin'
    and i feel i've got to move

    the bacon's fryin'
    piggy's smilin'
    i'm high flyin'
    but i've still got to move

    flower petal pauses to drain
    the kettle that contains
    her best beloved's brains
    springtime brings the rains
    celebration of mother's pains
    land is cleared of all it's stains and what remains is what sustains
    sun and surf and trees and grains

    I like your stuff, great flow. Nice mix of cynicism and observation. I like the quote "the way i'se livin' was skewed indeed
    designer minds push designer greed"...it sums up your whole thread pretty nicely
