COWARDS LIKE BOTTLES
Cowards
Lined up like bottles
Ready
For him to shoot
I am one of them
Like you
The phone will not
Ring
Anymore
His face becomes
Hate
Gradually
Triggers
Shoot problems at you
And dark men
Tear
At your face
I would like to jump
In your small puddles
But they are becomes
Cesspools
Of guilt
WATCH YOU SLEEP
You carefully draw graffiti
On bank walls
Instead of shooting up
In diner bathrooms
And I’m glad you don’t have
Track marks anymore
Instead you bare branded pentagrams
And cigarette burns
And you call yourself a retard
For slipping safety pins into
Your unsafe skin
A drunk girls looks into you
Drunken eyes and smiles a
Drunken smile
Your head rests on coffee tables
And I lay myself next to you because
It’s a comfortable level of thought
I watch you sleep
She’s got her drunken fingers in your
Hair and I want to put my
Fingers on your lips
But I watch you sleep
Curiously enough my baby
Lives in your stomach but I wouldn’t
Have your children because
They might have track marks too
And all I’m doing is
Watching you sleep
IN ANY OTHER WEATHER
Girl sleeps, girls weeps, girl
Keeps her lips tightly sealed
As though by chance he felt or feeled
Something creeping inside him a bit too
Comfortably
To outstay a welcome
She walks cautiously, seeps
Into his flesh hoping he leaps
To her.
He only walks by as any other
Sensible, rational or clumsy man
Would have the nonsense of doing
She interrogates the nature
Of this ignorance
Perhaps in any other weather
He would stop
And ask for a cigarette
But the rain will not let
Anything burn
SMOKE INFESTED NIGHTS
I remember those nights
Smoke infested sights
Sitting at a table
In my sweet little
Coffeehouse
A smoke wooden room
Candle-lit where the stage
Almost always
Made me feel like a real poet
I sand to the wall more
Than to the people
Who knows
Where dreams may die
But there did mine
From something so divine
These smoke-infested lights
Smoky coffee-drinking knights
I help in a cup of
Hot coffee
Which almost always
Became cold by the time
Sweet sweet boy with
Blonde dreads
Boy (man) who name slips
Out of my smoke-infested
Insights
Could convince me to
Self-terminate
Into a small stage performance
I was crucified
Once on that very stage
Purified of any age
Walking towards
Those smoke-infested red spotlights
Where everyone gave passion
In exchange for a sincere
Applause
And so many apologies
For people to thank them
Outside
Where we smoked more cigarettes
In exchanged thoughts
On other performances
I thought
I really thought
It would last forever
All that is left is
A small room for rent
And I can’t believe
They sold the couch
That sat in those smoke-infested
Heights
EGOBOY
You have so much
Pride
You swallow it
I’ll swallow it
I’ll swallow you
Like the tide
So shallow
You’re shallow
No shadow
No time
To fill the days
We follow
I swallow the days
You’re dazed
Amazed
At your ego
MOMENTS
Thinking back
On all the moments we had
Moments we didn’t have
None
We didn’t have moments
We had laments
Incontent moments
Empty of everything
But nothing
I’m still thinking
Back to those moments
That never
Existed
INSTANT PASSING
Fast speed
Out look
Into minds of
Instant passing
Grasping
In a need
For such surpassing
Of boredom
It’s a scene
Of instant passing
And we all
Come here together
From different lives
To the same
Format
It seems
