fast food
I'm tired of two-dimensional characters,
cardboard stands, and speech balloons.
With practiced emotions and plastic hearts
they parade their ever-changing skin under
furling banners of pride drinking in the
stinking glue they use for blood. Bleeding
souls with the transparent selfless
flesh they feed upon. My own stop-sign
singed from burning, licking lips.
Reaching inside moldy lunch boxes their
hands sparkle under freshly donned rainbow
sprinkles slicing into my real flesh with their
tried and true twinkie defense.

blood
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
a day in the life
so the other day, I was tying these Birkenstocks to the back of my rainbow van, when this silly dyke starts screaming about how I need to let her go. Big baby kept saying something about how much her feet hurt. They were HER Birkenstocks! It's not my fault they didn't feel quite right.

Civil War
I lost
my heart in
that
bloody war. The one
I
didn't see coming.
The one
you started with
a
traitor's kiss. The one
you
said wasn't possible.
I hung
from that tree-
limb in
disbelief as
you
watched with your
picnic
basket and new love.
I
closed my eyes, anxiously
awaiting
my release from
this
dirty, rotten
blasphemous
world.
Snake Oil
If I were to roll over and hold you
I'd recognize the bite. It brings me
back to the wolf at my door, the one
whining and gnashing its teeth in a
constant moan. Like wind at my
door, it rattles the rafters and
tempers the glass I refill each day
with animosity and regret. You mess
with my head as I stumble against
the sun in my face, startling me into
believing there is a tomorrow. You
smile your wicked, crooked smile knowing
tomorrow is the same as today as yesterday.
Black, oily liquid snakes down my throat
one more time as I snuggle with my
comforter. My only comfort. My friend
my enemy, my demise. I roll over
and hold you as you snap my neck
in your jaws.
