when you find your match i hope you set fire to the inferno
and as for me well, I'll find somebody who is going for a lot cheaper
and entomb myself in the burial chamber of decadent birds,
who also drink the same juices that are now driving you deeper
i was never one to be this bold and forthright, but i will
if I came off as insincere, it was probably honesty being bland
but its not as if you don't already know that and still
if you can't help being uninterested, I suspect the devil's hand
this milestone, this ode is in no way a slight underhanded
read this, carry on and know we have no unsettled score
I'm sure many will write more words in your praise,
I know they've probably done that type of thing before
Ode to a Virtual Crush
Master & Serpent
The Foolish Serpent, my ghoulish servant always seems to be thinking
How poorly I see him hiding behind these able-bodied cascades,
Hissing at his machinations and pissing as he stands blinking
at old report-cards and their steadily dropping grades
I am the master, dead-drunk in a windy balcony at noon
thinking of women I've left in the past to see
and all my friends i had to leave, feeling sorry i had to leave so soon
but I must be gone to set things in order with my orderly.

On Complacency
Complacency is the pregnant bitch you go to bed with,
Fondling her insured curves and stroking her financially- independent fur,
it is the phlegm our minds want to spit out but our tongues suck
complacency, is but a mephistophelian mercenary chewing mercury
corruption's cousin and im/maturity's rapist,
it hides behind words and sleeps behind metaphors and puns, unintended
lest we forget its best friend, power,
absolute power corrupts with relative complacency
Complacency, both the cause and effect of formality
Breeds little hypocrite mutant puppies who can tweet
From within warm laps and hot laptops, but remember,
this kind of complacency has consequences
(other than veterinary)
Thermocol Marshmallow
1.
Us, cogs in the machine
digging their own grooves for it is them we shall later surf ,
like when they went behind enemy lines and called it their home turf
2.
Shall I project a friend on this lynch-mob?
This betraying fog that clears before lunch and arrives after dinner,
tonight we cast the sin away and haul aboard the sinner
3.
A government failing to sensitize, must hypnotize irresponsibly,
A love that is older than your civilization has seen this war before
governments against loving cogs thinking rotation settles the score.
