Sunshine

She drew the two of usHolding handsDoes she knowHow muchI lean on her tooFor support?

What the fuck is wrong with you, America?Who the hell do you think you are?Nobody gave you the right to manifest your destinyBecoming just another colonial global powerEager to pick on the weak and feed on the poor. Tuck it under a rug and hope nobody finds the bones.Or memorialize and mythologize it into aContinue reading “Welcome to New America”

Another Fish Drowns

You can always count on meTo be here any timeThat you don’t want or needMe around. Excuse me whileI drown myselfInto a sea of silence. I keep it tucked away in my pocketBoiling putrid gunkBurning through my skin.It crushes my lungsAnd seeps into every cell. What was done has already been done.You can always countContinue reading “Another Fish Drowns”

The Darkest Night

Put down your brushes And pick up your hammers. The Darkest Night is descending To feed the beasts That gouge out the hallways of our minds. Unnecessary blood was spilled, And not for the last time. We expect them to protect us From the constant of human malice. The bolts are loose The wheels areContinue reading “The Darkest Night”

The Value of You

Caught in the midst of a fixed temporal point Where I rightly reckon, by the by, there is time enough For reality to pack up its pride and exit stage left. The inexhaustibleContinue reading “Synaptic Universe”

Found Text

Untitled found text. Ink blinks. Duérmete, sueño soy. Parallel lines lead nowhere. White apple, roses’ thorn. Mute cricket, still. Taught chain link. Haunted library, red eyes. Bouncing balls off walls. It settles it. Drowsy bullet, lodged. Blunt force. Thinking makes. Somebody’s nobody. Human nature’s diamond. Webbed wording, streamed. Gateway lined with poppies. Kill killer whale.Continue reading “Found Text”

If We Go

Earth doesn’t give a fig About the wealth of human suffering. Flowers will drink the rain And bathe in the swelling waves of sunlight All beyond the sphere of human influence. Insects will stay true to their scripts As their series continues, uninterrupted and ad free, With a story arch that revolves like a wheelContinue reading “If We Go”

Wireless Connection

Touch your glass heart Of fiber-optic arteries Follow the coded veins Swelling with misinformation Where bias takes root to Hack your neural network. The itch to unlock Spreads like malware Turn up the screen brightness Look deep within Your touchscreen looking glass And tell me what you see.
