Solitary
swing
set
play yard
for
you
and
I.
But
serenity
never being
the watchword.
Blazing glory
descended
below our horizons.
Our feet shuffle
in sand
and trash.
In
this place
made for children
now worn thin
and
made fit for dogs.
So many years
our little hands
clasped.
Our souls
entwined
amongst
the ruins.
I hid with you
in Rothko's chapel
upon black lumps of cloth
amidst black landscapes.
Soon to be permanent shadow.
Uncommon streaks
of rose madder violet
that cut
the diagonal darkness
are naught but tricks of our eyes
set off by a brain
struggling to cope
with
perfect nothingness.
And yet
Still squeaking swings
seem
impotent
in their emptiness.
An Exploding sun
caught at freeways' edge
while you laugh
at my fear
of the height
and the fall
and the darkness.
Soon,
it seems;
has come.
Years
like water
caught in the air
hanging on our skin
beading on our faces
as the lights flare
the skyline.
Darkness descends on Houston
and
we've
both
been
crying.

Lucky Strike
Long
listless
wisp
of smoke.
Slow lingering
halo of late night
meditations.
Loyal
friend
hovering
between my lips.
Instant calm
come unto me.
How we've ridden
together
through this world.
City by merciless city
face by forgotten face
you remain
Coffee shop confidant
Bar room ballerina
swinging drunken arcs and spirals
at arms end.
I don't know who I'd be
without you.
Even forced
to rendez vous
in shadow strewn alley ways
subject to scorn.
I still love you.
Even now
after I've let so much go.
I see you.
Cyclops
ember
bobbing
in darkness.
Hells firefly.
You beckon me
towards a spring graveyard
and God help me
I
fear I'll follow.

Record Quarter
We've streamlined operations
Created a dynamic of violent, sexual synergy
to market the five to twelve year old demographic.
Test subjects vomited in abject horror.
Tweaking needed, however overall marketability still viable.
Porno Plaything Action Figure
with authentic fifty caliber war engine.
ANATOMICALLY CORRECT!!!!
Something
so simple, so elegant
One would have thought
it hit stores last Christmas.
Leaves have fallen all about the yard
covering discarded weights and cigarette butts.
Exercise at corporate enforced, extended, restricted, retreat facility
phased out due to aggression.
All the inmates are on facebook.
Despite best efforts at crippling loan offer
telemarketing integration
for ten cents an hour.
I can't stop crying in the shower.
New suggestions on various
sausage type products
made by/from the homeless.
Suggesting the eradication
of bus stop benches in favor of covered
enclave accessible after the fulfillment of several thousand short surveys.
Headaches keep coming
Long term relief from drug affliction to be
linked to dietary placebo.
Alcohol to be strongly discouraged by public relations campaign.
Vodka to remain cheaper than water.
Rigid religious affiliations concerned at falling poll numbers.
Corporate tie-ins effected.
Personal spiritual enlightenment to be subtly portrayed as homosexual
by entertainment division.
Homosexuals to be linked to swine flu by anonymous op/ed hammer job.
My children don't love me.
Various adjustments to be implemented
to counteract recent issues with health consciousness.
Government funds allocated to encourage the development of vegetables made entirely of high fructose corn syrup.
Health text books to include chapter on the dangers of physical activity.
Pamphlet entitled "osteoporosis caused by running" to be distributed.
My eye's reflect empty space back at me as I shave.
Plasma for food
Inner city re-developmental plan calls for 600 tons of gasoline.
Rumors to be leaked that immigrants are responsible for rising shore lines.
Literature to be eradicated through disinterest.
Education to be provided for military service,
poorly.
I wish I was dead.
Profits at an all time high.

Tinkerbell
I can see her
light bright amidst shadow.
Tink clad all in black.
I made a world, unbidden,
for us both.
Here in my sooty corner
hiding in plain sight.
Constructing realities within my mind.
Beyond the noise and faces
and the smell of alcohol.
Beyond
The crass insistence of the world.
All intrusions of sound judgement
and proper station.
Ageless and alone.
I'd catch you up in a mason jar.
Sweep you from this place
make you teach
me
to fly.
