let us go then you and (i)
-----when the evening is spread out against the sky
like the moon goddess-----pirouetting about my brain
flinging her ideas and arrows at my pride.
and i,----------(i) am muttering consciousness
-----lost in the---------------living abyss
a dull cast of cartoons in afternoons
to lead us to an overwhelming question
that i do not truly comprehend
oh do not ask what is it
let us go and make our visit.
in the room women love the big dick,-----an ass,
i am just plain crass.
the worn away teddy----------that lies
unanimated in the----------corner
maybe awakes at night
stares---------------at me with cute button eyes
-----falls on the bed-----it was marked on
lingered on the floor for a seeming lifetime
----------danced in the eye fire, extinguished by night
---------------kicked across the room from spite
sat near a motionless wall and never cared).
(i) never had the time with the teddy--------------------but
there will be time to sit near a motionless wall
engulf in---------------complacency
for anarchy----------and order
day tripping and letting your hair fall down that
-----------------------------------beautiful back
time for scratching the cat’s-----back)
long hours allotted to myself
----------to be obsessive
----------“you should pick that one, no listen first, no this,”
day gone, no complaints.
to see you and know you’re not there.)
in the room women love the big dick, an ass,
i am just plain crass.
there will be time
(barbaric yawp), 8 am
-----not so barbaric-----.---------------do i dare to eat all moms cookies,
to have a little nooky), they will say---------------he shines
-----and his glow will ----------emanate through----------all time.
but i am gone crazy.
i will rock new balance
velcro----------pulled tight
army hat i never earned
finally be----------modest …
but still fat!
wondering which pleasure is my next.
i do not know them all
quiet mirror-----i stare in,
unnoticed----------markings we all erase
scared---------------at the drop of a pin
i know next to nothing.
i believe i know) them all
short----------of character not tall forcer of
penis in my mouth
self confidence chiseled by …
the shit that lingers huh
shall i say i have sped down wide green fields
not knowing greatness before me
and watched the smoke that rises from pipes
baked out of my mind
(i could’ve been a painter.)
chaos chaos everywhere---------------and not a drop to drink
i sit---------------in room and think of there
-----fly off to shades of pink)
it malingers, the darkness
i have been unafraid of the coat man, mentally insane
afraid-------------------------of invisible hauntings
(it) wouldn’t have been worth it
after the --------------------silly afternoons
-----------------------------------the bad sex
with talk of quiet corners and who your daddy is
-------------------------not worthwhile to see her smile
plugged conversations-----on madonna
cosmo quizzes
it wouldn’t-----have been worth it
to laugh at ignorance not recognizing my own
“he never washes”
“why are you not in the shower right now”
to give responses---------------that mean little
-----------------------------------tiny pecks from birds)
an offer that never dances on----------pins
would it have been worthwhile
after the busy work,---------------the boredom of it all
not---------------at ---------------all ...
i-----am-----the famed prince of denmark
to some)-----, sometimes myself in a way
irrational,-----brave , silly contemplating, vengeance
driven man,
i would rather be a dog -----and love my sister,)
but (i) do if her face has met mine.
really-----i am the second great debater,
sometimes---------------there for comedic release
--------------------dead-----now but not forever
the other one, at times wise.
i grow old ----- … i grow old ---------- … and this world -----is still so cold.
will she ever come?
do i dare try to remove the sword-----in the stone?
i shall sing songs on love
and know that myself is what i searched for
i have heard their monotonous chatter
and she is laughing at me.
i have seen them in dark purple lights
doing the latest dance craze
i myself their (fool
i have lingered-----in my cage a pacing tiger’s
search for prey
til human voices wake us and we drown.
