Dan Walters Poems

Somewhere half way around the world
Someone is just as awake as I am
When they should be sleeping
They are thinking “Damn,
...

I sensed a powerful greek god
My eyes shut faster than
A heavy jail cell door
Don't worry I'm still loyal
...

A ruinded life realized in retrospect
A horrific masterpeice being left to critique
You pine with pretentious perspective
Like I give a f*** about your vagueness
...

An aging man sleeps a damn long time
But when he was a child you couldn't keep him quiet
Always crying and yelping as if eager for angst
And now wrinkly he prepares for sleep with death silence
...

In the city
The skyscrapers stick out like ugly monuments
Or the rugged ground’s smooth middle finger
Saying “Aahaha, fooled all you! ”
...

The vampire kids all turned each other to vampires
The zombie kids walk around depressed
While the vampire kids take their anger out on them
And each other
...

You want someone to hear you
Run your mouth
No one wants to listen to a pathological liar
You talk loud
...

It would be slantingly odd
To wake one afternoon
And not feel macabre
I’m not the slightest bit scared
...

The sun rises to its watch tower
To beat down on us
Like the economy
Beats us down
...

The mice ate all your cheese
And you cried yourself to sleep
Cause your cats ate all your cheese
From the stomach’s of the mice
...
