indifference already

i sawed off both my legs to fall
in love with these crutches, i was
handicapped like my halogen dreams
haunting a highway
alight
under two headlights chasing
the marked lanes of
a perforated destiny

half-torn by the swivel
of her free, unhinging slaps
over a thousand faces of my history
halfway between now and the tightly trusted future
sleeping in the back seat, i was,

swallowed by signs of indifference, already,
flashing like red beacons and screaming
like soft sirens breaking
the rhythm of a deeply breathing night.

jump

A jigsaw piece soulless and sorry, I fall from defeated or frustrated hands
Until my methods like some gratifying static defy gravity or everything it commands
Levitating over crocodiles that chase nightmares that look exactly like those old corridors
Built by communists and brandished by crows before being bolstered by hardware stores

My dreaming self is feverishly praying to and nudging at the sides of our lord below
His melancholic metronomes, apathetic alarm clocks and to the noise from my neighbor’s stereo 
No safety nets here, just her coronets - she is no country for cracked or cracking bones
Or offsets for counter-balancing kings who are thrown off of their thorny thrones 

I have cigarettes to keep me warm, and my questions that light up the summer night sky 
There’s competition here too, its an Olympiad for junkies and when they “jump” one wonders how high 
I’m content here in my contempt for the crass and the commonplace, counterfeit words that you stole 
You can contemplate, connive, convince or confuse but can you clone the numbness of my rigmarole?

Ash and Bone

Hey you!
Free man- casting
Bearded shadows
Over a concrete ocean
Into which one must scuba-dive
for sunlight.

The future looks at you
With its retrospective eyes
Cursing your conundrum and blessing
Your disguise, you

Fall and rise, eat your fucking French fries,
Say your battery-acid goodbyes,
Surmise the escape to escape the surprise
Of a truth you hate and the love that lies

Between the wicked and the wise
You can stick it to the man,
Woman, elephant and child.

What are you waiting for?
Monetize.
