  • Oops

    try being 'less gay'
    the authority tells me
    when my main complaint
    is true violent action
    against my person
    the destruction of my knee
    in dim toilet light

    the kids involved
    i loose their soul heavenward
    the adults involved
    i cannot hold things unbound
    and must bind the soul
    why …

  • in the deep

    drums in the cavern
    our soul is stone
    we hear a warning
    of coming doom

    a runner we'll send
    the house of durin
    will live forever
    even may we fall

    was not greed
    though that the say
    but pride
    formed balin's tomb

  • Passion

    Burning hot
    passion
    undirected
    a lust
    but for what?
    is it love
    is it hate
    is it to build
    or to destroy
    all I know
    is it burns

  • Sweeping Streets

    it's peacetime

    the blue and red
    sweeping the streets
    strapped with peaces
    and a street sweeper

    who are they come for
    it's peacetime
    so whoever they come for
    they come for you

  • Lessons

    I met a shopper in the grocer's
    Xe was a perfect specimen
    of masculinity

    I told xem so
    how I envied xem
    and asked xem how to be more
    of a man

    Xe told me
    'a man is one who believes
    in their own masculinity'
    and if I was confident …

  • on purpose

    have you stared into the void
    a night sky, a million stars twinkling
    where the grand designs of the universe play out
    leaving us stranded on a little blue ball of dirt

    what does the universe care for us
    nothing at all
    we are beneath the notice of such a …

  • wine women song

    they've told us every generation
    since at least Greco-Roman days
    the our nation is doomed
    by the youth of today
    with their taste in
    wine, women, and song
    yet, they've never told us
    that their grandparents said
    the same about them
    themselves

  • astrology

    let no man tell you
    the stars have writ a plan
    for your material wealth
    or love life

    the stars do not care for us
    for we are but motes of dust
    to an uncaring void
    wondering what larger dramas
    in the sky unfolds

    i looked to the stars for …

    • Write a poem using exactly 30 letters
