“Early to Bed, Early to Rise
Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise”
This is what I was told once
But as I sit here eating the same corn flakes
...
Sticky notes of my life
Attempts to organize spill over my desk
They cover my computer with moss-like intensity
Violate my notebooks with the reverence of habit
...
Tears touch the dust
A boots kneel to the ground.
There are times when all strength fails.
When the loss of the irreplacable occurs.
...
Africa
The heart of darkness
Land of blood red diamonds
...
I thought of something quite brilliant
not too long ago,
and where that thought escaped to
god will only know.
...
I called out as you opened up the door
I should say something to explain
What I had done before
And even if it doesn’t change
...
We cool
We reject school
Drive Fast Rock Hard
SMASH ROUND ESCAPE THE GUARD
...
My vision would shock you.
Turn your world upside down.
Throttle your innocence
And throw it to the ground.
...
We are what we eat
So that means in a week
My form will take shape of
A bologna and cheese
...
Whenever I think of my family
I think of others who have none
And though I suppose I should be grateful
I feel that I understand their pain
...
