Blurs and flashes wiz by
While all of life seems still
It’s a fleeting glimmer
Chemical reactions at levels unknown
...
The problem with poems is how the soul seeps out.
Through the cracks of the consciousness,
Meditating on mastering the marvelous
Pondering perfection to perform to the other sex
...
Your body will rot and your mind has forgot
The reasons why it made me
Keeping me bound to your logic
Your looks
...
Strike the match that lights the fire
Burning like stars that pass us by
Twinkling like candles competing in church
Sing the chorus and start to fly
...
The nation of greed
Manifest the nation of need
The hand that once fed us
Has planted the seed
...
Chew chew chew Crunch crunch crunch
Smack go our lips
Licking your fingertips, I turn over in bed
People ask me how I rest my head
...
Pushed to produce, forced to fabricate
Demons in the detail of what to calculate
Parts of your soul that you had to amputate
This is the toll for switching to cruise control
...
Put this note where someone can see the other side of me
Attaching ourselves to this world with threads thinner then hair
Cradling others, grass stuck in pairs
Swaying in satisfaction, roots eaten by ennui
...
Catch a caterpillar not a butterfly
Seeing transformation is the best
From simple to complex
From the floor to the sky
...
I know what it takes, but I don’t want it
This world is not mine for the taking
My back
Its breaking
...
