Monday, December 28th, 2009If you haven’t ever gotten to the point where you think you might explode, maybe you haven’t put in enough effort. If you’re comfortable with the way things are, perhaps you haven’t looked at the way things really are. If you think you’re doing everything you can, you should probably be pressing on.
Why aren’t you [...]
Mammon. .בהמות
Sunday, December 27th, 2009We
the humans of the untied states
the hungry ghosts
the untouchable aching
-
We are
the air you breathe. The shit you smell. The flesh you rend. The tears you shed.
We are looking
all. the. time.
for substance.
for truth.
for you.
-
Where are you? Whom do you love?
Why are you waiting?
We ache, we cringe, we smile.
We ignore what we defile.
We eat the filth that we [...]
The Fires Had Just Started
Saturday, December 26th, 2009“Come in. Welcome, child,” she said with a kindness of which I was more than wary. “This is a home. This can be your home. For a while.” The last word hurt her more than it hurt me.
The green Honda she picked me up in looked from it’s [...]

Violence is Suicide: (I’d rather stand in front of guns than behind the people holding them)
Thursday, December 17th, 2009No, I will not support the troops. Not by clicking that link, not by wearing a red shirt, not by joining your facebook group. In fact, I don’t support your troops at all.
I don’t care who they are. Even if they were my brother, my father, my grandfather, my cousin, [...]
Dislocated Spirits
Thursday, December 17th, 2009You are a fantastic worm, born in the middle of Jupiter. As you crawl out from one level of the core to the next, from metal layer to rock layer to ice layer to violent atmosphere… At each level you metamorphose into a new being more capable of passing through the medium at [...]
Who are we
Saturday, December 12th, 2009Who am I
to lay down my life
or even worse
to lay down my dagger
who am I to love you
while you destroy my home and family
I’m tired of these tired old “answers”
plaguing our children
and growing like cancers
Worried about these useless solutions
stroking our guns at our revolutions
Who am I?
(No.) Who are you?
I am a human who recently [...]
Saying this out loud.
Thursday, December 10th, 2009they must have been tiny
they who stole what’s mine
one day I woke up
and everything was fine
i went to sleep
and dreamt
and woke
and slept
and broke
one through infinity
clogged and unclean
no, i wont let you
know what i mean
there’s both
at the same time
too much and too little
there’s neither
either
hope
or despair
it hurts
you know
to go on like this
to breathe
and walk
and sigh
and be
and all [...]
A Basketful of Potatoes
Thursday, December 10th, 2009The place was beautiful. We could hardly, for the life of us, understand why. Each clue pointed to a deeper confusion; each confusion pointed to reasons for us to keep exploring.
Were we the only ones to know of this place?
Were we the only ones to care?
The house [...]

They hurt
We still strive
Sometimes we lose sight
