Oxygen mask
Happiness is an oxygen mask
While the plane plummets,
At least it’s better than screaming.

Equilibrium
Demand shifts,
Equilibrium rifts.
Supply follows,
Consumers hollow.
Talent is balance
Despite a tilted foundation,
A viscous hibiscus
Is my mind’s market.

Pedantic pedestals
Feeble foes filibuster
Atop pedantic pedestals.
Bystanders bemoan, but
Power paralyzes.
Achilles’ shield breaks
Achilles’ heel.
I fall…
I kneel..
I’m shattered steel.
Petals fall
And pedals stall
When you speak
To crowded halls.
Filibusters muster
Socratic shrieks
From Greek walls,
Pedestals stand
As democracy falls.

Anxious
I’m reality confused,
Reality’s enfused with
Endless entropy…
At least abyss is
Consistently chaotic.
Ethereal from my being:
Fear flushes and floods the floor
My identity gasping
For societal relief.
My brain is an ocean,
I drown in uncertainty.

Drift
Darkness drowns your silhouette
And no one sees it gasping;
Grasping shadows…
Nothing’s there.
Breathe in sorrow…
There’s no air;
Darkness drowns your silhouette.
Strings enslave marionettes
They only see her dancing,
By day she jumps
In merriment
By night she’s tossed
Back In her chest -
Her wooden heart’s collapsing.
Dance! And dance! And pirouette!
Strings enslave marionettes.
Chakras churn in the abyss
Drift
And drift
And drift
And
d
r
i
f
t
Dripping rifts,
Solar eclipse.
Stretch the rips and never shift
Risk! And risk! And risk! And risk!
Chakras churn in the abyss.

Seashell
Distance makes
The heart grow smaller,
Trip! The fodder
Tips and totters,
She rides the tides
I’m glad you brought her -
But should this Shell
Be left in water?
A seashell belongs
To the sea
She’s a Shell
That’s come to me.
I bring her near
Today I hear -
Melodic oceans
Flood my ear.
A look inside:
So many pearls,
But get too close
And she’ll unfurl
Her need to be with the sea…
(How I long to be the sea…)
I beg to God
I could be freed
From these chains
That shackle me.

Homicidal Homonyms
A black bird in Spring’s
A moral release.
A black burden springs
Amoral release.
Report cards and
Idiot “C"s
Report idiocies
Buoy oh buoy…
We drown in idiot seas.
Words weaponize in sanity.
Hitler saw laughter
In slaughter…
He worried his story
Wouldn’t be history.
Real eyes are realized
Before I lose youth in eyes…
Real lies are realized
Before I lose: euthanize.
Words weaponize insanity.

Fodder
To live, to die, to borrow and barter
We grow, we try, we die as martyrs.
I play, I rest, I teeter and totter
We rot, we wail, we bury our fathers.
Our fate, it flips, it takes our daughters
I fear, I know…
I am fodder for slaughter.

His Story
Suns rise,
Sons set.
His story cries,
History forgets.
Love is power
And power is danger…
A few hours later
And lovers are strangers.
We live today
We live tonight
Ash-circles skyward
We live to die.
God never stops
But for some reason
While fighting with Satan
We became demons.

Butterfly Brain
Silk screened smoke screens;
There’s a caterpillar carcass
Crawling in my corpus colossus,
Conventionally cacophonous:
Will disharmony stop us?
Hatchlings and heroin
Racing to the very end;
Where is the finish line
When racing’s all I know?
The contents of my cortex
Corners my context
Hippocratic hippocampus:
I am what I’ve eaten.
Clusters of clutter,
I’m a klutzy cluster-fucker.
Emerged from the gutters:
Butterfly brains flutter.

Dishonest Vomit
Insomnia stirs, I shake at the core... There is no civility I am civil war. Those searching for light Become blinded at night Only ethereal minds Let the blind lead the blind. Time erodes skulls Oxidizing cranial rust, Creatures of laziness Are creatures of distrust. Dusty brains on Dustier shelves We claim we're clean... We lie to ourselves. Disobedient fingers! I can't stop the tremors... Insanity lingers Insanity's forever. Are we liars or deniers? Where do we begin? Dishonesty's caused By denial from within. The truth hides in lies, The light hides in night Look to your fears To find out what's right. I can't stop the shaking: With gin or with tonic The shaking will calm After a dishonest vomit.

The Last Croissant
Introspective perceptions
Of beauty and valour,
Roses are splendid
'Cause of lesser flowers.
Distortions, distortions,
Mechanical torsions.
Frozen fragility
Is anti-fungal
Anti-freeze.
Turning sixteen
Is a rabbit’s sneeze.
Reflecting perspectives...
I'm frozen in amber.
October parades through
September mist;
With timing's charade:
Reality's missed.
Scanning the room
Eyes are locked!
Everyone wants!
Yet nobody eats
The last croissant.

Nausea
Hiccup flutter,
The camera shutters.
Horizon’s mist
Is forever missed.
I have feelings for you…
Because nausea ensues
Every time
That I think of you.
I’ve got the flu…
You are the cause
You are the view.
Cathartic vomit,
When I’m unsure.
Calm is reached
From your allure.
You are the cause,
You are the cure.
My nausea turns,
My nausea churns.
Run into horizon...
But never learn.
Nausea lurks,
Nausea jerks.
Your face comes by
And I don’t look;
Nausea escapes…
I’m off the hook.
The distance teaches
And I’ve learned:
I am the cause,
I am the cure…
I am the reason
My nausea burns.

Salivation
Saliva drowns in
Dishonest vibes,
People drown in
Dishonest lives.
Falling in dreams
Falling, it seems…
Falling apart
At the seams.
Dirty laundry and
Chaotic drawers.
Inside my mind,
It’s civil war.
Parachute
I pull the chord…
Falling faster
Toward
The
Floor.

Nauseous Butterfly
Your silhouette’s seared;
Stashed away for days
Of kaleidoscopic nausea that
Verges on vertigo.
Coyly craving cocoons in
Caterpillar-infested stomachs,
Your tableau is pepto-bismolic…
My anti-carcinogen.
Dry throat,
Heavy heaving and
Salivating silk.
Eternal entropy,
My eyelids encase
Theatric muses,
Theatric music.
Silky salvation
Encasing crawlies
In intestinal abyss.
Concocting cacophonies like
Crying cocooned Caterpillars
Craving harmonies.
Intestinal testimonies…
Riptides and ruptures with
Hatchlings and harmonies.
Nausea’s carcinogens are
Fishing for fission.
Blindly alert,
The light seeps in and
Silos slowly slip.
I am a hybrid nation
In hibernation…
With comatose cocoons.
Retinal retreat…
Intestinal heat
Delicate delicacies with
Symphonic serenades.
White light!
Colourful silos
Come into sight.
Silhouettes gone siamese…
My innards sprout trees.
Fatten me up -
Padding protects the heart.
Open the mouth,
Butter flies in
To feed butterflies.
Nausea returns?
Nausea churns
This time..
No nausea burn.
From caterpillar shadows,
I open my eyes…
Radiance without try!
Emergency cry;
Your emergence surges!
Vomit-induced
Vomit-cocoons!
You push, you pry,
And there you fly…
Flutter, flutter, wings of trouble.
Symmetrical and wise, you rise -
My nauseous butterfly.

Why can’t we make
This mutual mistake?
We rebuild stronger

Exeunt Shadows
Taking a stroll
Through abysmal abyss
Chasms cause chaos -
Amidst reality’s mist.
Throwing change-ups,
Throwing shade!
Skipping stones
From stepping stones…
Rippling riptides
Rattle bones!
Set me free!
I’m dazed by your gaze!
When all others leave,
My shadow stays.
Avoiding the void…
Kicked off the ark,
Even shadows abandon
When times get dark.
