Fake ass people got nothin’ better to do but waste my time
Waste my time with your fake ass words and your fake ass mind
Always running your mouth talkin’ a bunch of fake ass shit
Haven't you got any class or wit
You look at me and grin with that fake ass smile
And

Even though I could feel it even though I knew
I still didn’t want to believe it was really true
Nobody ever gave me an option or choice
Can you here me do you hear my voice
Obviously he wasn’t in his right mind and didn’t use a thought
He was

Go on!  Get out!  I don’t want you anymore.
You want the sofas?  Take ‘em bitch.  I’ll buy more.
But you never had the best of me.

Get gone and find some other place to stay.
Oh you want the house?  Take it bitch.  I’ll walk away.
But you never had the best of me.

post-mortem depression coming on again
like a fly splattered against the windshield/
no surprise/ a moment of stasis/ unending nothingness/
and then truth/ bewildered i find myself in some
dive bar/ a gay guy buys me drinks and i don't refuse/
his yapping subsides to the bad radio music bleedng
out the bottom of the

20 below outside and 10 above
inside with not much happening
and not much to happen.
  no beer. no liquor. no wine.
my last pack of cigarettes have
already left its black mark on my
lungs. a few pennies but not a dime
or nickle to my name.

through a crack in the ceiling
it poured onto the bed.
like a stream that flows from
an open vein it shot you in the head.
   you lay naked bold
open to the possibilities
your womanhood exposed
   bare. raw.
alive with anticipation.
caution from distrust.
your shield on the

A Sketch

for Jennifer
(whose eyes are baby-blue with a slight circle of yellow around the pupil)

I decided to embark on a skiff *
     to skim the surface of steely-blue eyes.
A vessel well suited for the task
     maneuverable I could look over-side.
“I can put an oar in

The druidic priestess
     haunts my visions of the night
like yonder succubus
     a terrifying delight!

The once and future Queen
     preceded Arthur of old
visiting my dreams
     and causing outward cold.

By inner warmth subdued
     I

A Maenad* roams the wild reckless me
That darkening forest of hopes and dreams:
A love sacred like an ancient oak tree
Secure without bar walls pillars or beams.

Yet the savage boar-shaped demons of doubt
Conspire with fire-vipers of fear.
“Remove this plague ” I beg those thereabout.
They terrorize all

Here I go
winding my way
down the path.

I enter the chasm of the two cliffs:
     my stony selves.
The right one like a mirror; highly polished
     the left one sharp and jagged.

Staring into the mirror
     I

Desert

When I was young I would visit the desert.
It was dry and barren.
I live there now.

When in that desert
          I would catch scorpions.
Those freaks of the first order
          are equaled by
               those freaks that would capture them.
