why we write

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:33:00 -0600

hide, search, find, dig up
cemetary of the lonely
authors and outcasts

stories in coffins
poems murdered, embarassed
damned forgotten souls

silence is paper
murmuring bronze, tongued silver
connections golden

i wrote a story

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 22:28:33 -0500

i wrote a story

i hated it hated it hated it

i buried it in the backyard

while my parents were asleep

while my aunt and uncle were fighting

while my cousin was doing cocaine

we hadn’t seen him in a fortnight

i was drawing a tree and a cloud

and a house

and a squirrel eating some corn

and i wrote a story

a beautiful story about a place

a place far away from here

where everyone loved me

cameras flashing, look over here! look over here!

and everyone wanted to be my friend

and there was never any question

of what i should do

except whatever it was

i felt like doing

everyone knew

i was a success

and i was somebody

but today, i’m still nobody

one time, i wrote a story

and i buried it in the backyard

sugar and spice

on the big rock candy mountain

all the children have cavities

and all the men cry out in agony,

“won’t some one save us?

please god, spare us this pain!

take me away from this hideous mountain!

the sugar, the sweetness, I can’t stand it anymore!

I’m ready to go!”

but no one ever comes

they suffer silently

on big rock candy

mountain

for eternity

silent bedroom walls

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

Sat, 30 May 2009 00:08:05 -0500

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

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
