Literature
lip of the slipstick slick
fuckable fantasy
desirable dream
hollowed horrible, cut away, send away prom date, festival
infestation, stands up, stands on, moves on
careens off
the empty car pot, shed of
a tow truck,
two trucks, two by two by, two, buy me two cottages on the sea
empty pockets, empty ears
empty vacation,
from silhouettes of truth and
substance of lies
she was rich,
owned six cars, and twelve sell out
free cell, whole sale, inventory,
mansions, one where 602 people killed themselves
on the weekends
it's a museum, a chapel, a temple a tent and a bed and bath
a spa a spill
horrific kill, hunters live around
with dogs so sex they can make
made to feel like you matter
and we subscribe to this life
as if it is our only option
and truthfully it is
we sit at home and deny ourselves
sweet home alabama in
a refrain,
we turn on the television and
feel sympathy pains
for a vice president we don't even know
and we are all addicted to the same thing
so i guess that's why this is
so easy to generalize
put us into the same cattle car
for efficiency and we all breathe
the same intoxicating
sin
and we drink the same beautiful
gin, straight from the presidents
secret cabinet, a stock and supply

bam, thank you ma'am you're
words never run out
and your thoughts never
summer here and dying by godsavethequeen, literature
Literature
summer here and dying
summer here and dying
you sit in this apartment
a part from me
sitting posed and parallel,
lying ahead
and before
we listen to tracy chapman to get
in the mood
and here we are
and here is our reason
the window is open
and hoping it won't change
and by this
i mean the odd look you just gave me
i just mean that i hope it's hot forever
no ulterior motive here, or just one
that i can see you standing
breaking the fan in hand
the electricity crawls through your veins
and the sweat
makes you a good conductor
you sway to the words
and i give you one reason
diet coke is so attractive on you
as you stand there in defeat
white
summer's predictable invasion
leaves me torn like a centerfold
ripped from a magazine
by a twelve year old
i feel used
the sweat makes me self conscious
and my burned body
but stepping out into the heat
is like outside the nest and
i feel like a fucking bird
goddamn your helter swelter pity
goddamn how this feels inside
goddamn the slow waves passing
goddamn you want it all the time
the ice is slowly melting
you sit the can on my sideways car
i know your first suggestion
you're gonna want to hit the bar
i feel so sick
the anticipation's burning
i guess i need a little more
i'll need to be pretty drunk
before you'll fuck
i'm not sure i have the energy
to sustain life-
or death (play the grieving widow)
oh, you know once in awhile,
over tea biscuits and
african sweet cream
it is desirous to be the center
of attention
and flaunt weaknesses as if
they were a great global cause
please remove your paws!
kind sir- i am a widower,
do you have no respect?
(for the dead i mean...)
well then,
you'll wait
'til eight
until i can make myself
respectable again

Literature
on sweating people out of me
even above the din of the room
above the glaring porch lights
of georgia
and the sick and sexy warmth of
los angeles
of senior society central florida
above your standards
and the standards of
the antiquated
blownup
reproduced
bar maid you're trying
to seduce
i can hear you just fine
the line is flickering
in and out,
and oh boy, you're clear
the room is smokey
thick and wet with
words you've let slip
to sexy sally
thick with wet paint i keep
drowning
inhaling
smoking
i can still see you though
through the window
of supposed perception
through the soiled pages of
your tell-all
i fall
from a tree
a chimney seems

Literature
turntable orange spinning pale
i'd travel, exposed
to conquer these vague recollections
i have of you
and the three nude madonnas
and the habitual swearing
and the sweaty undertone of rhythim
invested in my sheltered membrane
calloused
i retreat at night through
confroming visions i can only
assume transpired
vamping from time to time through
giant oleander roots of hatred
these memories loath me
and my great expectations
they prey on my infantile disposition
and portray history accurately
enough for this neglagent slide show
performance
and this flooding of consciousness
this draining of futility
remind me, it's getting harder to forget
and easier to

Literature
expectations of soft watches
something will give me away
some thing new
and oh so vernacular of me, something so
ugly and facetious--
that in a moment you will know
i am not a petal, or glitter
or spanish silver
or red peaches
or sunburnt children
i am only cliched origami
and catacalyzmic
overtures made to
impress
you'll begin to smell
the unique smell
of lavender,
citrus and gardening
tools that is uniquely me
I'm out of touch,
I'm out of sink,
There's something terribly wrong with me,
I don't know what it is,
I don't know how to fix it,
I just know it's wrong,
I don't know how to help it,
I don't know what I'm doing,
I do know I'm hurting you,
I don't know how to stop,
I know it makes you suffer,
I'm scared,
I'm frightened,
I know I'm wasting your time,
I'm a waste of human flesh,
Just my touch is violating you,
As you are,
I can't take this constant hurt,
Hurting you,
Hurting me,
I don't like pain,
What can I do?
tail-lights glowing
dissapearing to the right
head-lights shining
appearing from the front
voices screaming
choice words of hope screamed from the back seat
misunderstanding
unappreciated sarcasm
experience doesn't mean shit
approaching faster
as my gauge for life stands full
thoughts in my mind go left to right
and left to right
wanting--
needing silence for acception
for complete resolution
an end to my threats
--and what-ifs
two on two
fighting for stupidy
no-one takes the blame
no-one speaks for what they really are
masking behind the fear of others' anger
panic
confusion
hatred
maybe i didn't see it?
maybe they

on being esther greenwood
i've been stapled swollen-
made into a minor infraction
of the crime i once was
i am retarded vengeance-
feeling the anger stopping abruptly
beneath the surface....
as i stop to pick a flower for
a small child
i am an octave
eight pieces you've broken
apart and hung from
separate clothespins on
a midwestern spring string
can i help it if i look better behind glass?/
not a cherry blonde,
picked fresh and real
from a fetishist garden
you've sworn yourself from the bitter
lies manufactured
and invest rather in
the realities of time
i am the onions peeling moon
i am the coarse grains of 1,000

i live for steve mcqueen. i am a rebelious teenager borne of second hand smoke from fast cars and carbon exhausted freeways going to nowhere. the journey meaning everything. i am a man's steel guitar, made to be played, and run the distance from the neck to the head..the hole reaching down to the soul of rock and roll. i am danger and everything dangerous, slick pants, slick hair, and a motorcycle...rumbling tumbling, flat chested women playing music, making man. i am fake fur....big big big hair, big cars and loud sound. i am speakers, i am amplifiers...i am small town groupies settling down with fast men with quick hands. i am naked playing
