fag palimpsest
today's date seems hyperbolic, out of control
that the rush to this number made a whiplash
yet i'm a fresh ingenue on the go in the know
the limber can bend to degradation and graft
i hear this howling wind at civility's warm tip
no executive function to animate my skeleton

Civilian Parking Vigilante
Hello I'm a CPV and I don't particularly like the way you're parked.
No as a volunteer I merely observe and report.
The word narc refers to an anti-narcotics officer, of whose numbers I would be proud to serve.
A snitch is someone who is involved with the perpertrator; my only involvement is patriotism.
Choose to use that type of language with me and you'll end up in a cell for a very long time.
I already know that the combined force of the PD and court system is on my side, same team.
I would not wear a body cam even if I were on payroll; it would infringe on my workplace privacy.
Yes I suppose that does have advantages for both sides; I mean either one of us could...
Shit no...!

They II
They relish the hope-to-die thrills of off-roading and extreme pain relief.
They'd rather burn down their city than see it usurped by other citizens.
They hold tradition in high value or contempt per their convenience.
They resonate with team sports, commercial mobbing.
They see entitlement in wealth, greed in poverty.
They're enraged by windfall and celebrate loss.
They foresee outcomes, not repercussions.
They favor the red ant/ black ant analogy.
They find merit in ends, not means.
They conflate truth and emotion.
They're sentimental about God.
They equate fortune to merit.
They equate merit to fortune.
They think they do God's work.
Their emotion is also their truth.
They see smoking to their own ends.
They reach out to color not lack of color.
Their caution gets trumped by brute force.
They are indignant at loss but not built to win.
They mine poverty and privilege alike for riches.
They cycle, golf, jog, for real or on machines, joylessly.
They trace precedent before each step but don't foresee a rest point.
They let the city burn itself by tearing down its walls and holding noses.
They might parachute, sea dive, or helicopter through the Grand Canyon.

Baby jesus in a ditch
the tiny arms hurt
seeing that, infant
civilization that
seeded, cashed out
between the rest
stops eighty sixed
full-of-piss peanut
butter jars adjacent
his tiny dick, white
glow in the culvert
your face is slapped
too clean to grift
just a comic waste

Temporary nature of art
years later they see the light
but only the largest quasars
one wrist so soft it lasts a life
quiet as the cattails where a
baby can float, be found, not,
become king or food for lions
lose touch with human bodies
that belong to who you know
abut and cooperate in pods of
nobodies, also talking into air
race of the elders, some ugly
these are my new spirits now?

Methane
it burns to speak or to be silent so speech is not the fulcrum but rather itself the burning. the burning is the enemy and the enemy must be burned. burn their speech their silence while watching silently.
watch them secretly, whispering their frailties; they will fail. Fail them openly as a sign that a limit has been breached, a singularity. H/she whose issue burns need not be burned if flammable but not fire.

War is taught
my communication is fraught
and bare naked of tv or drugs
this night wanking breathless
unto some cruel Jerusalem...
but back to you and pen me:
swarms of wasps couldn't be
more attentive to utterances
if they reeked of fresh muds;
through battle, war is taught

cathexas
what if you don't want everything to connect
you just want each contraption to work right
what happens as they age is consciousness is
an awareness that vision happens inside your
body, not out there; or that there's little to no
layer between out and in, and what you can
see includes throbs of blood bending sight
copied and pasted optical memories fading
it's a world of ghost images and representa-
tions of solid matter taking on the machin-
ery and personality of perception, turning
the self into a strange otherness of objects

Had it tough/ made it tough
relative to your culture
you may have had it
but you also made it
tough. that's why they
are after your hide, not
so much now for labor.
if everybody's tough it
means you'll have it
make it tough together,
on a ladder, as brothers
in survival, all striving
to get above the other.
when they make it
tough, they teach you
how to make it rough.
you make it tough but
then you know how to
be rough on others.

Clown
i get all sentimental for hard days
when the battle was out there but
in me too, those fierce hot interludes
can boxer and ring recede/ withdraw
simultaneously; have i just explicated
the next law of the universe and time
no it is only i who hesitates to resume
my sinking resolve is counterweight
to gloom when in company of the tired

Slave of the Chama
It's only 10:00, but I'm so tired, but if I go to bed she'll probably attack me and if I sleep in the other bed I may toss and turn, and she'll take it personally and feel lonely during the night.
In theory we are a sexually active couple but the boundaries are difficult for me to negotiate sharing a queen bed. What if I really want to take a non-euphemistic nap?
And it's not as if I'm a rock; it is in fact distressing to have only 4-6 hours to sleep before the alarm and trying not to get started into a drawn-out love act.
My doc, admittedly swish, says it's a weekly necessity at least-- or you could be risking any number of invasive/ interventionist consequences.
Yet I resist: that it be my discretion, my first strike option above the will of a frequent fertilizer, that the pleasure first is mine.

Epilogia
So far dying has been a dark quiet encounter;
heartfelt words you'd think might end it all:
beacons for liveliness oaths battle the blood.
Coming down the other side blends epilogia,
bittersweet memory, stun of what's this now
crane back from down the tram and tree lines
Once a fear and then another's made you say
goodbye, you see it all as practice for 1 event
All the times you've trained gymnast like at
each meet and fight, sickness, fail, emptiness
Makes moot the eyes any sense but common
jaded less betrayed by lies than to move along
to actually pick up and gone the humiliation
worse than the bothering worried cohabitation
close-knit breed, take me into your free land
where wind blows the goatees of noble faces

i'm trying something new
i'm trying something new
i'm telling them I believe
in their abilities but only
some maybe I should tell
them all I believe, that
you can tell the story right
you can use conventions
as a template for audiences
to understand effortlessly
is there no one in your life
with whom you speak in
this way, laying out your
argument and hammering
it home relentlessly hoping
to strike or gain or move?

Halves not had
They live half as long because they
live while they're sleeping with no
distinction between the conscious
states and therefore life is doubled.
And sometimes they awake or only
half so, while staying in both worlds
they straddle this line, fly and drive
with half a mind, and half that mine.

back when i was
legally responsible
for naming people
a glitch, a bulb of
cranial pressure
formed in my head
i could do it then
out of babies you
give up psychiatry
so i explore skies
away from all eyes
until i crack dawn
when it flows lives
perch on hot wires
while it subsides

Me, master
I've already trained the dogs not to go past the edge of the woods
so when we install the wire,
it'll be a violation of their conscience if they choose to go there
as well as a painful anti-bellweather peal and a vote for me, master
come future forks in the proverbial choice path:
one way, freedom-- the other way safety, comfort, structure

Spots
Raised on open-ended talk therapy, they began to want a face to want their feelings and so began to feel unimportant and uncomfortably swollen with emotive language as the sessions ebbed.
They began to wonder if they'd ever find the kind of begrudging rapt attention that a specialist, predisposed to listening and to caring, could give them; if they'd been genuinely interesting.
They noted at some level that it worked on one another but it felt a bit like incest, which it wasn't. The world out there was relevant while full of spots that wanted to defy them an existence.

Hard heart
if you were born with one side of your jaw fused together
it would feel like your face was breaking when you yawn
i want not to learn more but for learning to leave me alone
it gradually stops sinking in and you know enough to hide
when you came out of the coma it was on the awkward side
fate too I chose to leave as if it were as it was, accomplished

Self-loathing and hate, exasperation, fatigue
Mood was fine, then
bus driver aimed the door to stop way ahead
and even though it was a white person getting
off, I held it against her and didn't look her in
the eye as I put the money in the slot. Then I
couldn't get out and she said press the button
in the box, and a black woman behind me said
thank you to the driver and pressed the button
for me and I did hate everyone for a while as
I walked up the sidewalk. Then finally when I
went to check out with a protein shake, I asked
nicely for a couple of fives to take the bus and
the cashier said sure no problem and my whole
world became again a dreamer's paradise. Now
however, I recall the part I've blanked out: an
earnest prayer said just before through a storm
of self-loathing and hate, exasperation, fatigue

Choking Technocratic Layer
As regards your proprietary and/or franchise participating eggs
to step across guiding expecting evaluating eggs spouting their
instructions admonitions hundreds of modules packed with the
blood and sweat of someone in the bowels of the grift platform
who churns out help materials so offensively unhelpful that the
product makes more neediness for real help from sham helping

Deepest place
for a moment I saw my psyche as a piece of real estate,
the architecture of a tree house with many round shades;
and this it appears to me means it's an inhabited system
but also that the tyranny of civilization applies, even
in that deepest sleeping place you can go before a coma

It feels like the whole
human race: go round
thinking it's my party,
wreaking havoc, the
fame-to-shame swang;
night is not a reward
but a defeat; anger is
a way that I can exp-
ress my sexuality or
gender for all to see it.
It looks like I'm onto
getting an object done
getting on hard effect-
ting a one-thing-to-an
-other change, or just
really pumped up and
that works cosmetically
for me; my partners ev-
er play the victim, but
it perpetuates attraction.

You're calling back from the future but
it seems to me you call from the past
And you're calling me in the past but
I too am here in the future just not with
you. It's just that it didn't last, and then
we were friends and then your descent
your hostages your promises awakening
and then fool me twice and now you call
me here, lost in time, or rolled in the
torrents. I reach back not forward I find
what I know is true in those dioramas
down here at the bottom of the vortex
