Bender with a sidenote of caffeine
Holiday mind
On a cool summer day
Watching air balloons migrate
Sideways in silence
Distant murmurs
Flicker as lightning
Through my ever present
Thought patterns
Desiring an escape
Into the wild unknown.
Tag: flicker
Napkins (day 1622)
Ladders have begun
To disseminate my mental state,
Unpacked and re-packed
Long term storage boxes,
Dusty cardboard napkins.
Zigzagged metropolitan markets
With wicker baskets lined
With checkerboard napkins
And leftover spices
Under soiled paper napkins.
This night train is lonely
When the lights flicker just so,
I spend spare moments of memory
Re-reading the same four lines
Written on a folded square napkin.
Television (day 902)
Flickering madness
Think tanks
Bloated and clicking
The Books (day 601)
Letters die slowly as my eyes flicker across the unlined pages
Counting page numbers unconsciously
Ignoring the silent buzz of the fluorescent
Where I push on, into the dream that lazily floats forward
Points that Pass (day 449)
Memories flicker through the time lapse we call the day like danger signs for the extreme
Crashing around the bottom of the well with reverberating silent waves
Screaming into mason jars at unheard of decibels and not even stopping for air
And down crash the waves as they plunder all that strays near
Taking the precious time to focus on the minute while a world awaits at attention
These are the points that pass by much to quickly
Into a time that won’t come again
From a space that won’t be occupied
Living a dream that’s not into tomorrow
Destiny (day 199)
I go through spells of masturbating and drinking tea
Drinking tea and masturbating
It’s like I have an inner desire to be some kind of
Fucking poet, wracking my brain for some utter nonsense
Only to release it with an unconventional treble clef
It’s nonsense, fucking utterly nonsense.
As a young boy I’d sit mesmerized by the flicker of
Angel’s wings floating through the garden on hot summers days
The other fellas would be off playing footy
Me, I’d just enjoy the cool breeze as I lay back
Slow buzz of another little creature coming to pry at my brain
Now, I’m wrecked with heartache that fails to leave me
Little bursts of memories that inflict me with so much agony
I’ve replayed it over and over again, each time with a new smell
But each time it lasts a little bit longer
Maybe one of these times there won’t be an ending to the sad verses
Tomorrow I’ll spit into the middle of the soup
Chanting my spells and adding a drop of blood from a virgin’s finger
I wont wake the dogs for they don’t dance with my words
They act stupid and make believe they don’t see the ghosts that I see
I know better, we all share miseries destiny
