hang me
up
on your wall
like something
cool.
like someone
 you cared to look
at for a minuet or two
like something
"you"
like someone you'd
want to hang
around.

There are thing is
Wish
Never happened but I don't have many example I could point to
So you say everything the way you see it
And you speak the truth for two an you see the world better than me
and you are slightly smarter even though I don't know nothing.

I rember
And I keep on
Remembering

To that club I am a member
Tha is all sometime the world doesn't resemble anything
on days like those you just
try to wear a nice shirt
and the girl who turns her head is never looking at you
But you don't mind cause you can pretend
and you havent seen family in the longest while
but that is allright because there's always
around
around when your drunk
around when your alone
around while your doing laundry or lying down
or tying your shoe
They know
And you still keep it all a secret.

live and die the same way baby.
Like a fucken rocket blown up or coming down one way or another.

All good
things  come to those who
waited,
and time never fly by.
I've tasted wine turned sour by
time.

like this town.
this place. This dump
It has expired
like an old suit
patched on the elbow and
torn at the knee.
comfortable
but no longer
of any use.
and
"opportunity knocks
this is
my last chance
to escape
this humdrum town
to another place

I said love,
I said forever
      I said the
       sweetest
words but
even honey
brings bees
with pointed
tails aimed
at me.

of
all the if and why's
i like to think about
teh sometimes and the then's and the slightly
are the things
i'll keep
in a scrapbook..
it keeps you young
and pretty
even if the pictures
they are only of
shoulders wrists and ankels
the sighs of relief
disbelief and
dissatisfaction
all make sense
but only rarely
and only at night

when there
is no sound
only then can you hear it clearly

Untitled 10

I.
New age
new day
and today is still a long way
from a New Year


II
all really
selfish things vanish because
they finally decide to vacation


III
I've called you many names
many times
the names have held worship
and many times hey have condemned
many times I've
called us many
different things
none of them proud to walk
the streets alone
many names for so many
different lives
but always  you have answered to
 these names


IV
I called in hope
that this at least might build character
but I usually am
wrong.
This time it just seems to go nowhere
The place where I met you and the place where you
left me.


IV
Death to the liars
the cheaters the selfish
and arrogant.
Death to them all except
for me.


V
Nine dollars is
what I need

I have all but Eight
and there are worse spots to be in.

Untitled 9

I was placed by random chance
in a place far far from
my own bed.
She too was placed
near.
down a hallway
down a way
down my way

and
how the words
fell out of my mouth.

It all went to his head.
Inflated.

(more than usual
and hart to ditinguish from
normal)

He began to become
what I think he has always
been:
a little man with 

untitled 7

The way i see it
everybody is a victim
Each tale
falls heavy with a sigh
and plea for
some great reward.

Suffering
like only they know how

untitled 6

I.

Alone and other 

 scary words 

II.

Her step louder 

than when she 

came in

III

The faster  you go ,

the faster you go.

untitled 5

She tells

me your moving

out of town

to somewhere

quite.

we were

talking

about how boring

it gets here on

the weekends

especially when you've

seen the matinee

twice already.

or how the old

tire swing by the creek is gone.

(decayed by time )

but that's ok because the creek isn't

safe to swim in anymore  anyways.

She told me you

were moving to

somewhere quite

after I mentioned

you were the

only one left

who was fun.

untitled 5

In the beginning

the hole

in the

ground

was empty

dry and

hopeless-

waiting for the rain

to whisper promises.

to drain-

through

My Ear is

a hole in my head.

untitled 4

I waited by the

Phone

(it rang but

someone I hated was on the other line

instead)

This however is not

the part that i will not find

  Amusing at the

final judgement

it is that

i am still

waiting

and

don't mind

too

much.

untitled 3

This girl was like a poem

at first the

words worked

well.

Pense

Gave
her
my six pensse
and piece
of mind.

I never said
There are  sometimes
no novel
way of convincing someone.

untitled 2

She called

my name once

in awhile

and then decided

to forget

the syllables

all the letters sounds

no longer making any sense

together

Untitled 1

it falls from the sky

      it always does

      that's the way

  god built it to do

if and when and if

    the astrological

answers are in that place

  that sky

         it is easier

  to train them to jump through

      hoops of fire than to

      teach please or thank you

      things go down

                from the sky

         straight down.

        the star will fall

from the sky because

the words in the night have all

       been edited

between then and now.
