Sealed lip prayer.

Your symbols seperate
Animals and man
Math creates equal signs
That shit on best laid plans
The sum is always greater
Than your whole
Clicks and your clans

My silence the pilgram
Setteled shut mouth
A sealed lip prayer
Glued up eyes
Pretending good disguise
Fake your wise
While inflating your size
You coware
Hoping wandering eyes spys

Wishing they were
Content like you
Humble pie served
To everyone but you
Your table is set
Denile is your food

The egg on your face
Reflects on empty plates
Realized empty space
And also your not that great

Who are you
But a fool
Blessed with
Simple communication tools.

The soul ladder

I had my septum pierced
and the smell of failure
hurts my nose

Hollow needles
Surgical steel
Christmas Tree
Fonicur
Pampered
Manicure

Not just feminine
but down write
VAIN

Nothing wrong with one
The later is just lame
The ladder of soul called FAME

It matters more
You matter less
You have a ripped paper towel
and your life is a mess

The quicker picker upper
Drunk...dabbing...
Unprepared...flustered...

You can cut the cheese
but can you cut the mustard...

The Good Lesson

Trying to fit back into a routine
to sleep in a set pattern
12 on 8 off
maybe vice versa

So maybe I'll get that worm
I've been wanting
the early bird does have
a sort of monopoly on that
sort of thing
Welcome home bird brain.

I've been pondering
Dread locks
piercing
hip hop
and other tribes
I've belonged to
innumerable teens
and tweens and so called
generation x'ers

were ushered into adolescence
by the shaman called tattoo
or shaman that pierced
all shamans teach
the good lesson

weather you know it or not
these ends justify those means
most don't know what they strive for
what they rally against
and if they do they cant articulate
what they fear from above
or from behind closed doors
at government headquarters.

I think I smell spring

I think springs on its way

The new television season starts soon

It's getting lighter earlier

Soon it will be opening day

they'll throw out the first pitch

I saw a frozen man in that alley

once planes flew overhead

and dropped enough bombs

to level this city

I've seen a man in a mesh half shirt

with a rat tail rob this Pony Keg

I think I smell spring...

Tension Tamer Tea

I sat up all night
though my eyes were closed
all I saw was you
my tension still hasn't been tamed
for every cup of tea I drink
I could have another...

Was I thrown out?
should I be careful of what I wish for?
didn't you subconsciously wish for this?

It's always tough when someone
doesn't want your attention exclusively...

So stepped on ego
so slow to re inflate
the reasons you gave
I already knew
"and what bugged me about you"

You do need to find some direction
I agree
but before you choose your direction
look inside and find some passion
maybe I should take my own advice.

The stars calleth

I'll rake in magical text

so I might be magical next

to set into motion

inevitable consequence

for more than my two cents

The star calleth

or do I just hear?

cause I'm waiting

waiting to receive

so I'm not receiving

but inventing

nor perceiving

but retrieving

Lord Lady Librarian

using personal Dewey decimal system

to pull my memory's

from shelves used

and unused.

and I still look for proof or percent

to make my decent

rebuttal

repent...

looking towards

possible imprint

Concrete sheets

called the streets

come marked words onto you

more forcibly at me

whatever

is whats in store

Wet Reflection

Rolling Thunder,

rumbling, stumbling

incoherent night

Mirrored by the storm

my reflection is wet

Tears condense

like early morning dew

Newly cut grass

Freshly shaved faced

Thunder billows

into receptive ears

quivers my ribs

can't quantify this vibration

The air expands

and cracks...

..8 times hotter than the surface 

of the sun.

Thunder's what scares me

but the lightnings what kills you

God's got one hell of a system

Who built her box?

Fractal lasers

cloud to surface

and across the sky

The thunder rattles my cage

makes me crave freedom

Watch me dance through the rain.

Spooky Tooth

It's so random

It's the truth

the kids say something

I like her spooky

spooky tooth

Sherlock Holmes

is the sleuth 

Lincoln shot

John Wilkes Booth

I like her spooky tooth

She says she likes

Hip Hop

special tooth

colored butterscotch

Missed the doubles

on hop scotch

never had a partner

at double dutch

I like her spooky tooth...

One part trailer

with the mouth of a sailor

stand off attitude

good luck being her dude

she spouts out facts

wants to act

much better at slack

But, I like her spooky

tooth

I hope her snaggle tooth smile

let's me share lives

for awhile

the value of everyday...

Be someone else.

Be someone else

They'll probably do different

than you

Have you tried 

all your tricks

or you got something

new?

Why not change?

shit, you could

even keep your name

your face 

your life

to me it's all the same

You could be 

someone else

while still remaining you

thinking differently

not better

just new.
