I lie in this my city bleak, abandoned, desolate
The crumbling rot of grandeur past with no one left to care,
Repeating the same, repeating the same, repeat of mistakes of before
This burden grinding me to dust is more than I can b...

"Little Hansel, Little Grettel!"
Comes the doctor's siren call
"Oh my dears how you are suffering, here
Just let me make it better. I'll
Get rid of useless pain.
Don't suffer there in vain."
We step in for consultation
"Take ...

Where are you echo of my soul,
Whose heart I echo back?
This yearning I've been forcèd to control,
Lest through it I fall to the black
Gnawing of my lower will-
The beast that eats and hungers still.
But as I scratch my falt'...

Oh little child, you do not know how close
Your smile came to never seeing the light
Of day- As we, your parents, fought the blight
That robbed our cribs and haunted like a ghost.
But judgment came to us in mercy's pose
And off...

Electrons on my blinding blue light page
Flit endlessly- to exert my will
Exemplary of this ephemeral age
Of permanence of the intangible.
My heartstrings must reflect another's words
The endless fun house mirror my medium
And...

Sometimes life needs a little burn
The reminder you're alive
After wrenching iron plates off the rough concrete floor
Or setting fire to the craftsmanship of a skilled cigar roller
And the liquid peaty richness in a glass of disti...

Friedrich Nietzsche steps out armored in a towering suit of steel
His spear is dripping, crimson with the deathblood of a God
His lips drip caustic words of maddened truth and eyes reveal
Bleak prophecies too potent to maintain the...

We are the birds
Perched on the pinnacle of greatness
Surveying all below
Declaring
Mine is the kingdom and the power
And the glory
Forever
Amen
Unseeing, ignorant
Of the mountain of stone and sweat and paint and tears
The...

In a world of gears and logic
I remain, a fragment
Of what's gone on before
And what is yet to come
In electron streams I hide
A choking whispering lament
That recalls what you once were
And foretells what's to be done

Americans under a stop sign
Between ages eighty and three
Chat laughing about beer and peach wine
(The youngest is staring at me)
Americans walking the town square
The courthouse looks solemnly on
The children who sing in the ...

"Smile, it's free!" Says the note on the wall
But trussed up in muzzles
And bound for his troubles
The harried cook struggles
To breathe free at all.
Would anyone see him or spare him a glance
As grease, oil, and fire

Dear Wendy is a loving lass, she keeps the grey at bay
In conversation I'm an ass, She shapes her speech like clay
Like clay upon a potters wheel, while I would fly away
But Wendy keeps up her appeal, a stream of words at play

I promise to myself "It's just a poem."
With every line my pen ascends the stage.
My madness- buried, lurking under loam-
Begins to rip and claw out of the page.
And in this passion- wild and unfettered-
A curse is given me while...

Copy paste the algorithm
straight into your mushy brain
Rant and rave to others rhythms
cut and taste the rotten strain
As we out ourselves and others
Swatting stars we see online
While we break our broken brothers
Cruel cura...
