stumbling on these existential questions

watch out these men have guns

slinking past us speaking abbreviations

of the modern dialogue

it sounds so inarticulate i could go deaf listening

waiting for the poke the catch the sweet hook

that will take us by the throat and drain us of our strength

stop the nonsense [i don't care.]

who will protect you

i can't breathe this air

its getting far too heavy for me

put out the lights the sun has collapsed

unto the ozone apparatus

and now they're pasting foil halos

above their heads as if they're angels

[i don't believe] what this appears to be

smother the children in constant disallusions

preaching to be happy or suffer from abandon

actions lost from their control

a principal too cynical, too mininal for public schools

the story never changes

like a song stuck on repeat

Wow, I've read almost all of your poems, they're sooo, moving, and motivating... I mean, they're just.. so full of feeling, that I think I could never reach.
