i’ve been reading poems by notable poets about cows * sheep * pigeons * fish * deer & the like & honestly it makes me ill. i write about what i know: big cities, street gangs, the homeless, food stamps, death & suicide & i wonder who reads this boring crap, who gets inspired? I want it hard edged, baby, poems on razorblades cutting through skin, tendons, even bones, poems that make the blood flow & run deep in real rivers of life.

Bronchial fix, lung lining expanding again, pounding holes, stabbing me in the back, bacterial traitor, wheezing breath from me, giving me the wonderful opportunity to take panting lessons from Rover.

They’re telling me I need to change my appearance; I may look unnecessarily menacing to people. That it’s the shaved head, beard, black leather jacket, black t-shirt decorated with blood, black jeans, black Doc boots. Now I’m supposed to turn into some preppy punk, internalize any appearances of aggression, regress to high school when I underwent the same BS and all this to avoid inviting unnecessary potential hostility and confrontations. What they seem to ignore is if this is true, it doesn’t bother me one damn bit. I’m happy to kick the shit out of anyone who doesn’t like my jacket. Then again, maybe that’s the attitude they’re trying to eliminate….

I woke last night from a nightmare in which I saw a malignant society of pathological liars racked with insecurities, consumed by guilt, screaming for violence and I noticed I was sweating most profusely as I thanked the heavens above that it was only a dream before turning on the light to get a cigarette.

What I mean to say is no, I don’t want her back, just words hanging like leaves from a tree limb, nothing can bring her back anyway; words wouldn’t build her bit by bit, piece by piece, she’s gone, and there is strength in knowing that. Maybe the longing will ease. Maybe the seconds will lapse into minutes. I’m not Christ – I can’t raise the dead.

It's had about a thousand lives in it, some brittle and cold, others quaint and lively. The wallpaper's peeling and the pipes are rusting. The shingles are breaking away, falling to ancient earth but the hearth still smells of warm breakfast, eggs sizzling in their beds, toast crisp with strains of raspberry jam, griddlecakes tanning themselves, milk being topped off. Somewhere there is a rumbling, a truck bearing gifts of furniture, a car with parents cooing to their young and calming the family pets as they speed on to their destination.

she had this inherent need to create a new identity for each and every occasion, to become someone different every day to mask the emptiness, the pain of true isolation. If you tried you could smell the death surrounding her; a dead soul is black regardless of what it may be wearing.

I am intoxicated with withdrawal, paranoia, anger and fear. I live for the moment of meeting eyes telling fortunes – they can’t tell mine and God does that drive them nuts. I confuse people, scare them; they can’t quite get a grasp on me. I just take my meds and pray to the gods for their souls.

I used to think bad dream it’ll surely go away if you wait long enough, better if you could start all over wearing just the birthday suit – but since, I’ve learned that’s out so instead go therapeutically to a lonely far-off place, shout “too much” twenty times, return & laugh hysterically and then breathe a silent thanks for sincere smiles, warm welcomes and adults consenting mutually…

not a day goes by when I am not thinking of you you are like an open field full of ocean waves – to run through and never get wet but almost. this is the way I want to go home in a place – where the curtains are sails – bulging go break the fence post the houses want to run away
