			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="C" class="cap"><span>C</span></span>an you see them?<br />
There!<br />
Over there!<br />
Open your eyes Mother Fucker!<br />
<br /></br><br />
Yes<br />
They’re wraiths<br />
Specters<br />
Chimeras<br />
Light does not touch them<br />
Slides off em<br />
Like Teflon<br />
You walk through them<br />
Never around<br />
<br /></br><br />
At little Johnny’s soccer game<br />
You step on their heads and laugh<br />
You pull their arms and legs off<br />
Use em<br />
To push their dreams away<br />
<br /></br><br />
That much further from their grasp<br />
<br /></br><br />
Their tears harvested<br />
By your corporate catchers<br />
Who use them<br />
To grease diamond studded pussy<br />
<br /></br><br />
Tasha, 1989<br />
A real good year for pussy<br />
<br /></br><br />
Why?<br />
You don’t fuck<br />
You own<br />
Love will never<br />
Touch your soul<br />
<br /></br><br />
Oh yea<br />
The blind cunt with the scales<br />
Giggles<br />
And says<br />
“I can’t keep a straight face“<br />
“Surely they must know“<br />
“I’m not only blind“<br />
“I don’t even give a fuck“<br />
<br /></br><br />
Laugh<br />
Laugh<br />
Laugh<br />
<br /></br><br />
The Invisible<br />
Do not laugh<br />
They do not smile<br />
Do not enjoy<br />
Golden sun rises<br />
Nor<br />
Nature’s palette<br />
Such beauty is not<br />
For them<br />
They’re angry<br />
Percolating rage<br />
In<br />
Dollar store Haute couture<br />
Dreaming of disintegrating empires<br />
Of castles<br />
Torn apart by bloody hands<br />
Of a World in flames<br />
Of upside down crucifixes<br />
Shoved up God’s pretentious ass<br />
<br /></br><br />
They huddle<br />
In despair<br />
And<br />
They<br />
Plot<br />
<br /></br><br />
Revenge<br />
<br /></br><br />
Justice<br />
<br /></br><br />
<br /></br></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="A" class="cap"><span>A</span></span>s if the beats of my heart were unique.<br />
As if I were a star in a long dead constellation<br />
To be resurrected by sad eyes</p>
<p>Layers of false hope strew the stage<br />
Genetically predispositioned to save the gene<br />
I am more than that fuckers!</p>
<p>Climb they implore<br />
Can you not see the light?<br />
I can not be blinded by false hope</p>
<p>Their penciled stick figured God<br />
Would embrace me<br />
Like some chick’s cheap fuck toy</p>
<p>Would you cheapen insanity?<br />
Make it a crawling insect<br />
Searching for death?</p>
<p>I stare at the world<br />
In a ring made of cheap dreams<br />
It ain’t good enough</p>
<p>I go deeper into the maze<br />
The path is down<br />
Not up</p>
<p>I am the last magician<br />
But I ply no tricks<br />
I just dig </p>
<p>Deeper</p>
<p>Deeper</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>here are so many suffocating images<br />
On the second story<br />
That they jump for their lives<br />
Like glories on fire<br />
Flaming the sky<br />
With the backdrop clouds<br />
To liven the entertainment<br />
For eyes dry<br />
And clouded over by judgment<br />
And for the tries diminished<br />
At the wake of shrouds<br />
Revealed.<br />
<br /></br><br />
Images that witness their own death<br />
Forced stillbirths<br />
For the sake of held breath<br />
And the measuring of penis girth<br />
Of mere babes<br />
Sealed upon impact<br />
To be memories<br />
Held tight as momentary fact<br />
And glimmerings of what could have been<br />
Of what cannot defend itself<br />
As reality…<br />
Too late<br />
Just another casualty<br />
Of feeling blackened<br />
By the great pharaohs<br />
Elated<br />
Berated again.<br />
<br /></br><br />
They were<br />
But cannot be proven<br />
Again as uncertain<br />
Cremated for blurting the words<br />
Into the volcano of the sun…<br />
What was begun<br />
Was heard<br />
Then spun<br />
Into a thousand shattered webs<br />
Weeping<br />
And keeping tracking of each tear<br />
Sleeping on the edge of the pillow…<br />
Each creeping silhouette<br />
Dissolves<br />
Upon the light of day.<br />
<br /></br><br />
There’s nothing left wide open<br />
And nothing left<br />
With more to say or groom…<br />
The will cuts the<br />
Umbilical<br />
As death screams silence<br />
To echo<br />
Within the pyramid’s tomb<br />
As a bereft womb.<br />
<br /></br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child " style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span title="M" class="cap"><span>M</span></span>y brothers hear the crash and break the door down…  Absurdly, I mentally curse Home Depot and their cheap fucking doors.  So there I am with a belt around my neck and the entire drop ceiling strewed about the room.  I fucking hate failed suicide attempts.  I mean what can you say, “Whoops?”  It’s like getting caught by your future ex-wife with your sweat pants draped about your ankles waxing your carrot to the Fredrick’s of Hollywood web site.  That has happened to you, right? Please say yes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I briefly wonder how woman masturbate.  Probably with environmentally friendly solar powered dildos.  I hate Women.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So my older Bro says, “Dickweed, stick with drinking yourself to death, suits your style.”  Gotta love my Brother.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So I decide to go outside, which is a feat in itself because I haven’t left my room in about three months.  I find most people boring — I really hate rubbing elbows with the fuckers.  I leave the belt around my neck; I figure maybe I can pass it off as some kind of new sartorial style.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I see the mailman and I was going to tell him to stop delivering me mail, I don’t open the fuckers– what’s the point.  But, I figured he worked for the Post Office and therefore was in his own private hell.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So I make it to the overpass, beneath me is the New Jersey Turnpike.  I read somewhere; it was one of the most traveled roads in the US.  I watched the social insects whiz by.  I dig the sound.  The World is full of songs; you just have to know how to listen.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I notice the inward curving fence and it pisses me off.  (I’m always pissed)  I mean it’s not like I can’t get some C4 and blow a whole in the sucker.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I know they are trying to stop jumpers. Not because they care about human life, they don’t want you fucking with traffic. I once saw a jumper splattered like sea gull shit on the asphalt.  People were getting out of their cars and kicking the dead fucker saying shit like:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“I got a massage in 30 minutes I’m late because of you dead shit”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“I have a two hour window to cheat on my husband and fuck Ted the insurance man”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">And my personal favorite:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“Someone scrape this dead fucker off the road”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So I mosey down to the local Dot Head store.  What’s his name is at the counter. Cool dude but he has far too many consonants in his name.  Hence “What’s his name?”  Now, he has this pet Anaconda who he loves, so I ask him if he has any new pictures and his eyes light up and says: “I’ll be right back.”  He runs to the back room and I run to chest freezer whereupon I start stuffing frozen Ice cream sandwiches down by pants and in my pockets.  I love stealing shit and I love Ice cream sandwiches.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So he comes back and starts showing me the pictures of his pet snake and in the meantime my balls are freezing from the frozen Ice Cream sandwiches stuffed in there and let’s face it, who needs frozen balls.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I give him a fake smile and I split and start eating my plunder.  Oh yea, then I went home.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>creams</p>
<p>Demonic</p>
<p>Drowning out heavenly choir.</p>
<p>Cherubs</p>
<p>Laughing</p>
<p>Creatures of despair</p>
<p>Singing<br />
<br /></br><br />
Armed only with smirk and pain.</p>
<p>I sit and wait</p>
<p>I already know my fate</p>
<p>My guardian whispers in terrified pleading</p>
<p>“It’s not too late”<br />
<br /></br><br />
Seeking comfort</p>
<p>I comfort.</p>
<p>Wanting relief</p>
<p>I relieve</p>
<p>Needing someone to catch my tears</p>
<p>I find I can no longer cry.</p>
<p>“Go! And salvage the salvageable”</p>
<p>Its screams sucked down by Newton’s insight<br />
<br /></br><br />
At the Crossroads</p>
<p>No color</p>
<p>Battleship grey</p>
<p>Tis a place</p>
<p>No one need be<br />
<br /></br><br />
I am no longer</p>
<p>A Man</p>
<p>But a coruscating semblance of</p>
<p>Forgotten dreams</p>
<p>Transparent</p>
<p>My essence</p>
<p>Displayed</p>
<p>Like a cheap dime store mannequin<br />
<br /></br><br />
One approaches</p>
<p>Glides</p>
<p>Not deigning to step</p>
<p>Another</p>
<p>Flutters down from angry heaven</p>
<p>Two creatures of absolute</p>
<p>Good</p>
<p>Evil</p>
<p>They Vie</p>
<p>“Take my path” they cry</p>
<p>Why?<br />
<br /></br><br />
Mozart and Wagner</p>
<p>Hess and</p>
<p>Cervantes</p>
<p>Approach</p>
<p>Enter</p>
<p>The debate</p>
<p>Cervantes speaks</p>
<p>“Take neither left nor right!”</p>
<p>“Heed Don Quixote’s quest”</p>
<p>“Fight the windmill.”</p>
<p>“There will you find”</p>
<p>“Heart and soul’s true test.”<br />
<br /></br><br />
I cannot</p>
<p>Smile</p>
<p>Wince is all</p>
<p>I can</p>
<p>Do</p>
<p>At the Crossroads</p>
<p>A myriad of paths</p>
<p>Good and Evil</p>
<p>Cry collective disbelief</p>
<p>As they merge and blend into</p>
<p>Logical inconsistency<br />
<br /></br><br />
Pock marked Mozart</p>
<p>Catches my sightless eye</p>
<p>“Only through music”</p>
<p>“Can”</p>
<p>“The heart be sung.”<br />
<br /></br><br />
I</p>
<p>Try</p>
<p>To dust off the pain</p>
<p>But it is alloyed</p>
<p>Fused with my heart</p>
<p>I stand</p>
<p>Knowing my last act</p>
<p>Will be</p>
<p>Defiance</p>
<p>But</p>
<p>One last song</p>
<p>I need to</p>
<p>sing</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>t was a rickety old thing…</p>
<p>The train that is…</p>
<p>Filled with busted dreams</p>
<p>And</p>
<p>Salty tears</p>
<p>And faceless people</p>
<p>Who no longer cared<br />
<br /></br><br />
There were not many there to see me off</p>
<p>Just a few…</p>
<p>They begged me not to leave</p>
<p>Where was I going</p>
<p>I had no idea</p>
<p>I was just going</p>
<p>Who can answer such questions</p>
<p>Their tears were touching</p>
<p>As If they knew</p>
<p>I was never coming back<br />
<br /></br><br />
Take directions</p>
<p>No point in that</p>
<p>I never follow them</p>
<p>Go right</p>
<p>I go left</p>
<p>Besides</p>
<p>No matter which way you go</p>
<p>You always arrive at your destination<br />
<br /></br><br />
Looking back</p>
<p>I wonder if I had a choice</p>
<p>If I could have changed anything</p>
<p>Might as well try to change</p>
<p>The color of your eyes</p>
<p>The way you laugh</p>
<p>Or</p>
<p>Will the rain away<br />
<br /></br><br />
I arrived</p>
<p>It was a cold place</p>
<p>The Sun seldom shone here</p>
<p>Twilight the best you could hope for</p>
<p>There were no flowers</p>
<p>Just twisted green things</p>
<p>Reaching out</p>
<p>Towards an invisible savior</p>
<p>In that struggle</p>
<p>They were beautiful<br />
<br /></br><br />
There is much beauty here</p>
<p>A daunting will to survive</p>
<p>Which permeates all life<br />
<br /></br><br />
A dour moon</p>
<p>Which paint all in glimmering ice crystals<br />
<br /></br><br />
An incessant breeze</p>
<p>That orchestrates</p>
<p>A heartrending dance<br />
<br /></br><br />
A Landscape</p>
<p>Hewed from Earth’s tired bones</p>
<p>Stabs out at the night</p>
<p>Proclaiming In painful epitaph</p>
<p>“I am Alive“<br />
<br /></br><br />
But here…</p>
<p>There be Demons</p>

<p>AM I MORE THAN THE SUM OF MY PARTS?<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM ENERGY’S SWIRLING DANCE OF ELECTRONS</p>
<p>I AM THE SCIENTIST’S CONFUSION</p>
<p>TO UNDERSTAND</p>
<p>THE UNDEFINABLE</p>
<p>WHAT CONTAINS ME?<br />
<br /></br><br />
MY EMOTIONS SEETHE.</p>
<p>A MAELSTROM OF NEVER FORGOTTEN DESPAIR</p>
<p>ROOTED LIKE CORAL</p>
<p>SURROUNDED BY TURQUOISE MEMORY</p>
<p>TRAILING TO AND FRO TOWARDS MYSTERIOUS LOVE</p>
<p>DESIRE’S MISTRESS, COLD HEARTED AND FAIR</p>
<p>ALABASTER</p>
<p>STONE</p>
<p>TASTELESS<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM KINDLING</p>
<p>MATCHLESS,</p>
<p>CONSPIRING DRY</p>
<p>READY TO ERUPT INTO MAJESTIC DANCING TONGUES OF FLAME<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM THE BLANK SLATE.</p>
<p>AN ARTISTS HUMBLING YEARNING TO BECOME<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM DEVOTION TO RITUAL</p>
<p>I PLAY OUT IN ENDLESS SCREAMS OF FRUSTRATED CONSTRUCTS<br />
<br /></br><br />
DEATH WHO DO YOU SEEK?</p>
<p>IF NOT ME<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM THE VAGABOND</p>
<p>HOMELESS</p>
<p>BEREFT OF KINSHIP</p>
<p>WHAT I EAT OTHERS HAVE NO NEED FOR</p>
<p>NO CHARITY</p>
<p>SIMPLE EXCESS<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM THE BLADE OF GRASS</p>
<p>THE LENGTH OF MY LIFE</p>
<p>DETERMINED BY THE TILT OF THE EARTH</p>
<p>AND THE PARCHNESS OF THE SOIL<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM THE MISFIT</p>
<p>NO DESTINY</p>
<p>NO FATE</p>
<p>MERELY A CONFLUENCE OF UNRELATED EVENTS</p>
<p>A MUTATED STRAND OF DNA</p>
<p>REPLICATING</p>
<p>BECOMING</p>
<p>ME<br />
<br /></br><br />
DEATH SMILES AND OPENS IT’S ARMS</p>
<p>HE SMILES PLEASANTLY</p>
<p>OLD FRIEND</p>
<p>WE SHALL MEET SOON</p>
<p>I GOT NOTHING BUT TIME</p>
<p>I DO NOT FEAR THEE, REAPER</p>
<p>AM I DIFFERENT THEN THE FALLEN LEAVES THAT FEEDS THE TREE?</p>
<p>OR THE CARCASS THAT THE LION DEVOURS?</p>
<p>SUCH A SMALL PRICE<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM ILLUSION. YOU CAN NOT SEE ME</p>
<p>I AM THE CHILD READING HESS, CAMUS, FREUD AND DOSTOEVSKY</p>
<p>SEEKING TRUTH</p>
<p>NEVER FINDING<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM ODIN’S THUNDERBOLT, HERCULES STRENGTH, THOR’S HAMMER AND DIONYSUS LAMENT</p>
<p>I AM THE CASTRO’S BALLS</p>
<p>ROLLING…</p>
<p>TOWARDS CHANGE AND REVOLUTION<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM THE FORGOTTEN POEMS OF LOVE</p>
<p>I AM BEAUTY NO ONE WILL SEE OR HEAR</p>
<p>LONELIER IS THE WORLD WITHOUT ME<br />
<br /></br><br />
HOPELESS REFRAIN</p>
<p>FEEL WHAT I FEEL</p>
<p>SUCH HURT</p>
<p>SUCH PAIN<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM A MISTRESS’S BEAUTY</p>
<p>LUST SO PURE</p>
<p>LEAVING HEART’S BROKEN</p>
<p>TEARS</p>
<p>AND PAIN<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM THE ONE EYED JANUS</p>
<p>I SEE THE PAST</p>
<p>NO FUTURE</p>
<p>NOTHING</p>
<p>BUT DARKNESS<br />
<br /></br><br />
I SEEK MY SOUL</p>
<p>THERE MUST BE MORE TO THIS…</p>
<p>AM I BUT WORM FOOD?</p>
<p>OR A WEAVE IN THE UNIVERSAL CLOTH.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I AM INFINITELY FINITE</p>
<p>I AM LOVE’S LAMENT</p>
<p>I AM GUTS AND BLOOD</p>
<p>COVERED BY SKIN</p>
<p>STRETCHED SO TAUNT.</p>

<p>AM I FOREVER CONSIGNED TO PARADISE LOST AND ORIGINAL SIN…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span> slithered out of the Chrysalis<br />
The all knowing Raven chuckled<br />
“You have not yet devolved.”<br />
“You will be back”<br />
thought briefly I should snap its neck<br />
But he was stronger than I could ever be.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I parted the veil<br />
And entered the night<br />
Darkness is a gift<br />
To be treasured.<br />
A blanket of false deceit<br />
Truth’s revelation.<br />
The light lies<br />
Darkness knows all<br />
<br /></br><br />
The cold air<br />
Washes over me<br />
A brief stilling of molecular motion.<br />
The caress of an icy hand<br />
Tells me<br />
“Warmth makes you sleep”<br />
“She is the false touch”<br />
<br /></br><br />
The Cold is Dark’s friend<br />
Not so secret lovers<br />
Eternally conspiring<br />
<br /></br><br />
I knew I was trespassing<br />
Treading paths not meant for me<br />
Yet I felt the need<br />
To see<br />
To feel<br />
This abandoned Playground<br />
<br /></br><br />
Sleeping Mannequins<br />
Being recharged<br />
Reprogrammed<br />
New dialogue being written by wraiths<br />
Their toothless smiles planning new heartaches<br />
A child will be raped on this stage<br />
A human heart will stop beating<br />
I could not stop it<br />
Tears froze<br />
<br /></br><br />
I slithered back into the Chrysalis<br />
The all knowing Raven chuckled<br />
“I knew you would be back”<br />
“You have not yet devolved”<br />
I wanted to snap its neck<br />
But he was stronger than I could ever be</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span> suddenly became aware I was<br />
Distinct<br />
Separate<br />
Alive<br />
Covered in blood<br />
Wondering<br />
What it was<br />
This<br />
Thing<br />
Called life<br />
I heard the cries of aborted fetuses<br />
Seeking repentance<br />
Seeking absolution<br />
For imagined crimes.<br />
Their sin<br />
Inconvenience<br />
There wails drowned<br />
Muted and masked<br />
By heavy machinery<br />
Operated by manic thought police<br />
Dressed as sailors<br />
Carrying hypodermics<br />
Filled with mind fuck</p>
<p>I was to be the trained seal<br />
In the circus of garbage<br />
They didn’t know<br />
I was broken, incomplete<br />
I escaped to<br />
The nightmare of the real</p>
<p>It was not really reality</p>
<p>Nor was it Lies<br />
It was a halcyon era of apple scented madness<br />
Laced with truss rods of greased despair</p>
<p>Blindfolded visions of genetically altered circus midgets<br />
Playing mime to blind audiences</p>
<p>Painted virgins with jism stained dollar bills<br />
Rolled, shaken<br />
And stirred<br />
Inserted Into for sale orifices</p>
<p>The screams of severed heads pleading for body complete</p>
<p>Mutated Pheasants armed with automatics<br />
Butt fucking hunters who scream why?</p>
<p>The dead become annoyed<br />
Seeking eternal rest<br />
Screeching alarm clocks<br />
Awaken them<br />
As the sadistic Gods laugh</p>
<p>Pissed off Zombies crying “Brains”<br />
Can’t find any</p>
<p>Bankers molesting children</p>
<p>Lawyers blowing bankers</p>
<p>Politicians laugh a creaking rusty hinged sound</p>
<p>Sightless lovers seeking fulfillment<br />
Feeling only whores and lies</p>
<p>Mirrors offer no comfort<br />
That swirling mist of promised magic<br />
Merely confirmed who we are not</p>
<p>Truth that cheap FILTHY WHORE</p>
<p>Screams orgasmic shouts and moans<br />
Body quivering<br />
Pretending<br />
She is not a willing sacrifice at the altar of convenience<br />
The victim of lie’s serpent tongued promises?</p>
<p>Engulfed in an ill-fitted black robe of the lonely heart</p>
<p>They are all out of solace</p>
<p>Tears always pave the path to surrender</p>
<p>Emotions seethe and boil</p>
<p>Critical mass reached.</p>
<p>I no longer sleep in a bed.<br />
Beds are for faggots</p>
<p>There can be no comfort here</p>
<p>I roll on the floor<br />
At home with roaches and the denizens of the night</p>
<p>Leathery wings Play serrated whip saw sounds</p>
<p>Only I can hear</p>
<p>The sounds of bare survival</p>
<p>They laugh at joy</p>
<p>Chittering knowing words</p>
<p>They speak<br />
Whispering</p>
<p>“You do not belong<br />
You never did”</p>
<p>Yet they call me back<br />
“YOU WILL JOIN US!”</p>
<p>The sound of cocked pistols<br />
And lawyer lies<br />
Congealed like Hyenas<br />
Barking on an asphalt parking lot</p>
<p>Baby’s heads greasing the treads of wheeled deceit</p>
<p>Yet their vampire smiles<br />
No longer frighten me</p>
<p>“YOU WILL JOIN US!”<br />
The Zombie choir sings<br />
Feigning Mozart</p>
<p>They do not suffer alienation<br />
The law of lies and madness will prevail<br />
No sanctification<br />
No absolution<br />
I ignore them all<br />
Mere tuneless wind chimes<br />
Playing discordant existential sounds of phony despair</p>
<p>Death knocks at my door<br />
He claims us all as his own<br />
He drips drool like Pavlov’s dog</p>
<p>I smile<br />
I have been seeking you Death<br />
Your lies stink<br />
How can you claim one<br />
Who has never lived?</p>
<p>His steps falter<br />
His sickle<br />
Becomes<br />
A broom<br />
And I charge him to sweep the pain from this World</p>
<p>The though police<br />
Captured me<br />
Finally</p>
<p>Kafka was the judge and jury<br />
I was convicted<br />
Of seeking meaning in the meaningless</p>
<p>“Don’t you know?” he laughed<br />
“Life is just a halcyon era of apple scented madness”</p>
