Unknown Origins

by BlueCadet3 February 28, 2009

The water came dripping from a place unknown It wet my brow and soaked my clothes Our flag was waving as the wind was blown Yet for whom it waves, nobody knows I am an ant – I serve my queen I wrote a book of the things I’ve seen But no one read it [...]

i play the scene out in my head:   Hello, we met–just now–do you remember that? (we laugh) You do. You remember. We met in a bookstore–or something like that–it was nice, you were beautiful. You were nice, it was beautiful. I waited in the corner and read Beckett or something, you got off and [...]

Finding Bliss

by BlueCadet3 February 24, 2009

Oh, the weary strains of life’s tribulations.  But, oh, what elations they can bring! The pressures, the demands, the constant questions of the many paths. Release. Let go of the predispositions.  Laugh with joy at their expectations and social norms. Rejoice in the freedom that you have.  Choose to choose freely with your free-will.   [...]

One mighty headache.

by besatree February 22, 2009

Ups and downs. Treasury and the eleventh chapter. Captivated, captured. Fluorescent to dull, limelight to burnt filament. Scattered ash in a volcano. Ruptured spleens in cadavers. It’s like finally finding your dream……… and just not knowing what to do with it.

Miming An Explosion

by besatree February 12, 2009

So this is what is comes down to… binary code, lefts, rights and saltwater spickets. Ventilate me. Split-seconds create separate identities… thus creating split second identities. Worlds in an instant. Pasts, futures, memories, tragedies. Dark and bright times, hot and cold, sturdy and unstable, forced and flowing, living spaces and crawl spaces… just pull my [...]

peacefool

by MortRainey February 11, 2009

living in a peaceful world would be a delight. but no. instead: everyday close my eyes for a bit forget about the no-peace sights . . .  doesn’t do the trick. hear-smell-taste-touch never too pleasant.  eyes forced back open. “don’t fall asleep!” they say. “don’t fall asleep!” and i don’t. i don’t. i don’t fall asleep.

fuck.

by MortRainey February 10, 2009

forgot to prepare. like throwing wrinkled undershirts into an old, unzipping suitcase and running out the door, bowlegged in a pair of flip flops, and cargo shorts two sizes too big in the coldest winter on record.  something tells me this time is passing too slowly. before i know it, it’ll be ten years from [...]

I forgot what I was

by rottenrocks February 9, 2009

only the addictive behavior stands alone, written on my forehead in sharpie ink.  one smoke to Hutchins, just to buy another pack.  one more smoke and he will go to Longs to pick me up a bottle of empty love.  my heart is lost and covered in a grain with no name. lost in the [...]

Can’t Anchor Us

by besatree February 5, 2009

Stranded. Just sitting there comatose. Dead Silent. It’s a forced fit. Elegant?…I highly doubt it. Morse code maybe?…naaaah. Perhaps a trickster, feigning ignorance?…sad, but no. This is a diligent stupidity. This has been pinpointed and worked on…. hard. A disciplined game of “oops!” Shouldn’t there have been a banana peel, 50ton anvil, tunnel painted on [...]

An Idea for a Book About a Kid Who Robs Dead Peoples Houses…

by Charles Withers February 4, 2009

      He lived just 2 doors down from my parents house on Elm and 17th for every day of my 18 years of life. For all of that time he parked his succession of Ford Mustangs (first a 78, then an 88, then a shiny new 98) in the dirty driveway amidst his little [...]

Harry Potter and the Veil of Decent Correspondence

by zero/of/the/day February 3, 2009

Enter  the room with the swagger of a drunk looking for exceptions. Intelligent life has never been found here, just theorized on the napkins of days we forget. The drink tells the way, shows the path for what it is. Words in asphalt manifestation. Roads converge to form a sentence of distress, only to be [...]

Stop pushing the wheelchair. I can walk.

by Geollyfish February 1, 2009

My greatest weaknesses are beautiful to you. I fall once again you hold me down with a kiss. I’ve never gone so far over my limit, you’ve never known such lust. Shit turns to gold in your eyes and you’ve got the midas touch. What a fool I’ve been to think you were worried for [...]
