bad trade

these days

the trick is not to trade 

your sentient ways 

into your mobile 

phone 

leaving you 

listless 

numb and 

alone

euphoria

 

she took a train 

from mundane 

thoughts packed full 

with aspiration 

outside the gps 

thumbprint 

she wrote and wrote 

with elation 

downing hot cheetos 

with coke she 

signaled from 

her station 

unleashing creative 

energies ... 

connection ... 

euphoria

true story

how
audacious
of you


not the reckless
cutting into my lane

the lug nuts on the massive wheel
ripping into
my flank


but after
having somehow
kept my head from panic
and tracked you


your first words
are not are you okay?
but 'not my
fault'


so sad

semblance of a plan

she was determined not to end like her friend. the one who sold her lungs at auction in a state of abject capitalism for an all paid month in Hawaii (prior to debt coming due). she got a Gen Z to hack the encrypted lock on her faucet. stole the hens eggs. made a plan.

good spider good

a good spider 

i once knew 

caught me 

in his web 

being broke down 

having nowhere else 

to turn i

did not fight i

let him enter 

no one else wanted me 

the poisons 

made me blissful 

numb such that all 

my woes 

died 

good spider 

wrap me in 

thread

8.7 blackout

 the first time we took brownies cooked with Johnny's butter was in Chicago during a blackout. the whole city went dark for over 24 hours. complete summer power outage. 1999. candles and flashlights and fires. no cell phones. we got high - internally lit.

charm

 they got behind his charm. by then they was traveling 100km an hour inside his corvette. he had lit a Marlboro and when they asked him not 2 he blew smoke in their face. sometimes it is best 2 forsake the body and exit a moving car.
