nerds

one hundred thousand
voices cry, then are silenced-
snape kills dumbledore

to John Locke

destined for greatness
destroyed, incomplete, he lost
mourn him, he is us

eight

silent country road
noisy downtown late night traffic
silent bedroom walls

seven

hot dog water smells
light breeze in a hotel room
wordless trip back home

six

grass dies, insects pass
humanity disappears
water keeps dripping

waves in silent sky
words unspoken, intertwined
this love, too, shall pass

baseline performance
wish I could just stay in bed
but they refuse it

alone here, all day
did not bother to leave here
best day of the week

five

there is some really
hot peanut butter in the
kitchen sink today

it grew as peanuts
slowly, avoided being
eaten, until grown

picked and selected
for my peanut butter jar
and I wasted it

four

welcome to town, sir
welcome to wackytown, sir
where nothing is wrong

three

that’s where I slept for
sixty years, six days, sick nights
totally weightless

two

cornflake shaped like earth
texture of colorado
cornflake tastes like shit

one

keyboard monster lives
angry at humanity
black guy blows it up
