Becoming a sunset

I wanted her to be a queen
but its hard

Under so much florescent,
so much neon
You lose grip, lose your children, lose yourself

She lashed out at me
took out my eye
Blood ran down my cheek and she wiped it away
with a drink napkin
She apologized, but

She wanted to keep my eye, said nobody ever really looked...

Chairman of the Board

Frank Sinatra sings
heaven to sleep every night
and closes every strip joint in Vegas

Rage

Killing in the name of
strippers across
Amerriiicaaa
W. solidified his reelection
keeping the ancient traditions
alive
Beer and sex
are really the best friends
any politician, ever had

Jessica

I laughed when she told me
We were naked
and she said she wanted to invent
a new color

A radical combination
of light, is all it takes

The Mike
would be an original

She inspired letters
They invented the alphabet
just to describe her
Just to put a name on her beauty
A name that everyone could pronounce

Writers block

as they were yesterday
A melancholy snow is on the ground, and
Im stuck face down
in an ugly mindfuck
Thinking too much, doing too little

Georgia, I'm missing you

I holed up in Denver
waiting for the snowfall
testing out the rabbit holes
trying to meet you

I busted out to Oklahoma
saw it comining a mile away
it was flat and ugly

packed full of neon
light up
