Sweet creek of isolation, breathe in deep
Exhale the poison of false hope, the model
The one who sold you, now reappears, success bleeding upon us all
Copy the copy, chic plastique imprinted on sacred scrolls
Unraveling the mystery of life, selling the struggle that infects us all
Bargain bin persona, nouveau riche beliefs
Indebted to the experience, care given only to the scheme
stick to the script of conformist originality
lacking conviction,

a black sun beats down
cracked meth pipes under boots
acrid bubbles of opossum roadkill pop
indiana’s pretty this time of year
this teen keeps making others
grab him by his
curled devil horns – dealers like
feeling the scales they just
ripped outta his head one day like they were
full metal jackets shredding apart
fist-wide hole blown out
bloodfucked across bathwater

Identifying with Whale Sharks
It’s only 11:19
It’s raining again
I’m gone
In danger of becoming endangered
“Ladies and Gentlemen…”
I’m going by way
of the whale shark
cut up in a dark store room
of a supply ship off the
coast of Hong Kong
“Go down slow…”
Scattered parts of me
drift in the depths
each of them alone
terrified but determined
to come together again
form a force ready to fight back
whale shark wars
they find a way to go on land
a reverse submarine
they make soup out of us all
dominate us all
“I’ll never wake up
in a good mood again…”
like the parts of me
that remain
waiting patiently
to find each other
and resume
the fight.

KARMA MAN
Living my karma
Via you
I asked to be degenerate
And life brought
Your constant dissolution
I chose my
Innate ability to harm myself
Can learn every lesson but this selfish
Drive to have the spectrum
Of intense
Like karma
My punishment memory
Is long
When your time comes
Don’t cry for sympathy
You picked first
You were fully grown
You entered our vow to
Execute sufficient misery
