Far Out

Finger paint the galaxy on my spine then enter the Milky Way.

Freaks and Geeks

Lie on opposite sides
of the same coin
spinning
in tight little circles
never touching
but never far
from one another

Out of Order

We alphabetize and
rationalize
this mess
we're living with
as if clearing our minds
will change the lines
we've read and re-read
a thousand kisses deep

or give us what we seek
when our hearts seep
through the cracks
trying to find their way
back in time to when
they where whole
and holy hell
did that time ever
actually exist

or is this
as good as it gets
and if that's all
there is
my friend
then
let's just burn
the fucking book

Things I Can't Afford

Diamonds
daydreams

dandling doubt
on my knee

Freaks and Geeks

Lie on opposite sides
of the same coin
spinning
in tight little circles
never touching
but never far
from one another

Shouldn't the coin be a twenty sided Dungeons & Dragons die?

 

[Magnetron]

Far Out

Finger paint the galaxy on my spine then enter the Milky Way.

Is it below Uranus?

 

[Trixareforkids]

A for making me laugh Mags.

Tools

You act as if we're interchangeable
using us all for the same purpose
to hammering away at doubts
build shelves for your trophies
uncaring that some are ratchets
screw drivers, or even drills
but the only tool here
is you

Smoke Signals

I sent it up
did you see
amid the haze
of Indian summer

no, you wouldn't have

I sucked it back in
my last fat one
blowin'
no smoke

I Give You

Shit
I can't publish
shit
I can't post
shit
that hits you
where it hurts
me the most

Fuck
your fawning
fuck
your praise
fuck you
in so many ways
I can't be bothered
to translate

Damn
you and your
wicked words
damn
the fucking learning
curve
damn it
cram it
all in
and
take it take it
take it
all
back

Fuck off

with your praise
and fuck you
in so many ways

I think the "fuck off" sounds more like Tod than me, but I do like that last bit

Legacy

If all she gets from me is a love for books she'll be richer than most.

All Before Breakfast

I'm not afraid of you
I'm afraid you
change everything
I believed possible
now I believe
I must make
impossible choices

If this is prison
throw away the key
or maybe
just climb in with me
where the rules
of polite society
are just a bad dream
a figment
a fragment
of what we are
what we could be

here where illusion
holds no sway
I'd ask you to join me
ask you to stay

it's small and close
too close for chimera
or demons
to run free
here
there's only room
for truth

and we
can't have that
now

can we

Safety Not Guaranteed

Do not think

time spent........................ here

an ex-change
of more and less

give in

Terms and Conditions
Need Not Apply

We speed
down this highway

ignoring the signs
but enjoying the neon

vacancy

a place to rest
our heads

eyes glossing over
fine print lines

on the way
to magic

fingers

beds
we don't have to make

just lie
in

try to remember
to leave

a tip

turn off the water
on the way out

 

[Trixareforkids]

My inheritance? A few hundred dollars and the sure knowledge that we're all fucked!

 

[badkitteh]

I feel like I'm taking AP Life, when I should be in remedial Life

 

[Trixareforkids]

She caught my eye
before it could hit the ground
roll into the gutter
become just another lost marble

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

She caught my eye
before it could hit the ground
roll into the gutter
become just another lost marble

You're back! Missed you we have.

 

[Trixareforkids]

You're back! Missed you we have.

I peek in semi-regularly haven't felt the urge to poem here though until Tod's "caught my eye" comment tickled my funny bone.
