In Praise of Death with Dignity and Other Electronic Issues

Bravely accepting the end

Evolving from the Transiatory to the Static

2011-12-29T10:58:00.000-08:00

it was as if the connection
once fluid, had coalesced
from the wires and screws
old age homes are made of

to a more hospitable pattern
we could follow down the
brown cobbled street
branched with rising cables

transitioning from there to here using only wings to fly with

2011-12-20T13:52:00.000-08:00

the predictible notion
that we should
"not make this weird"
was overwhelmed by the nostaglic
look of the night sky
in the bathroom mirror
smeared black with your
mascara/regret

Suddenly At One With The Universe

2011-10-10T11:02:00.000-07:00

It was as if

fell into place

Corageous Repetitions

2011-09-30T13:17:00.000-07:00

the beating you took in the fifth grade
when the kids were all
outside playing ball
and they won't let you
so you threw a rock at them
and they chased you
all the way to your house
but the door was locked
and they hit and hit at you
until finally your father came
with a screwdriver and
threatened them

Does this mean

we are

no longer friends

And Thusly Your Prayers Were Answered

2011-09-19T13:28:00.000-07:00

A do not suppose I have an answer to this

or that my choices, wishes, decisions

make even a little bit of sense

but it seems to me there is

a secret key to happiness, love, success

that no one told me

or that perhaps they did

and I just got it mixed up.

The Ego Speaks to the Id in the Mirror During a Jersey Shore Marathon

2011-09-06T10:13:00.000-07:00

you make me feel bad

about me

when I'm with you

The Timing of Existence, Designed Only to Make Less of You

2011-09-06T10:03:00.000-07:00

Life knows just how

to beat you down

the moment you thought

you were cool or

exceptional.

This week

it will be thursday.

Have a nice day.
