			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he hole is getting emptier<br />
As the faces fade<br />
Into the shadows of the walls.<br />
The faces never smiled anyway…<br />
Just stared inward<br />
With vacant eyes<br />
Collecting data.</p>
<p>Invisible tentacles<br />
Push away the sky<br />
Demonic hoards work gravity machines<br />
And archaic machinery<br />
Fueled by lust and burning souls<br />
Faces replaced by black hearts<br />
Not deigning to beat<br />
Flying Iridescent insects wingless<br />
Fall<br />
Deeper Into the chasm</p>
<p>The insatiable void<br />
Devours screams into silence<br />
Just below the slow lurching rhythm<br />
Of organic cogs pleading<br />
For release…<br />
Pleading to the supreme muscle<br />
That will never cease.</p>
<p>The mechanisms of the hole<br />
Have all become visible.<br />
Each mask of flesh<br />
And tissue has dissolved…<br />
The pretense of all human issues<br />
Has been resolved<br />
With the clarity of a single glance<br />
Inward–<br />
Into the eye of raw primordial reality.</p>
<p>Eerie calm<br />
Amidst the howling silence<br />
Essence distilled<br />
Granulated<br />
Awaiting deployment<br />
Shape Shifting shadows<br />
With wands made of clouds<br />
And abandoned bones<br />
Prepare incantations<br />
Ectoplasmic scripts float upward<br />
Nucleotides seeking union amidst the pulsating mass<br />
The Hole prepares for birth</p>
<p>All possible data<br />
Has been collected<br />
The embryo<br />
Weathered by caustic evil<br />
Intentionally unprotected<br />
Emits a siren’s blaring cry<br />
Of living…<br />
Of living…<br />
The initial sign<br />
Of human life unforgiving.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="F" class="cap"><span>F</span></span>loundering…</p>
<p>Like a dead fish.</p>
<p>Gazing at deep magic</p>
<p>Inside….Out.</p>
<p>Pillars of lust</p>
<p>Smothered</p>
<p>Wrapped in cellophane.</p>
<p>Locked to immoral paths.</p>
<p>Visions in black and white</p>
<p>Against prescribed standards of efficiency.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I peered out of my window</p>
<p>That TV screen whose channel never changes.</p>
<p>And I SEE!</p>
<p>Androids filled with pretended purpose.</p>
<p>Running to and fro toward mock destiny.</p>
<p>I see them harnessed like cattle and led to troughs of offal where they feed.</p>
<p>Smiles fill there vapid faces.<br />
<br /></br><br />
For this was Life!</p>
<p>I see them walk pass fake trees and counterfeit sunlight.</p>
<p>Night nothing more than an unplugged lamp.</p>
<p>They flash their vampire smiles</p>
<p>Teeth gnashing</p>
<p>Hunger’s need temporarily lending false passion to nothingness.</p>
<p>They see me and wave, “join us, and become one of us!”<br />
<br /></br><br />
I am the Last man alive.</p>
<p>I will never let them stick that straw of death into my head</p>
<p>And suck out my passion, love and being.</p>
<p>I will never leave this place</p>
<p>I shall be content to gaze out my window</p>
<p>That TV screen whose channel I can never change.<br />
<br /></br><br />
Tears fill eyes</p>
<p>Pity fills my souls</p>
<p>I am the last soul alive</p>
<p>And I shall never leave my place.</p>
<p>For I will never become one of them.</p>

<p>“To be or not to be” Any of you dudes out here truly know what question the Bard asks?<br />
Well, not many people think about mortality. Don’t blame them.<br />
Back to “The Bard” six words that defines the nature or essence of our existence.</p>
<p class="first-child "> <span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span> am the only jerk off, I think, who will call God a Dickweed! Just did it, not smited yet, (guess that comes later) </p>
<p>Anyway, I go to Heaven, and there is God, drooling and snoring on his recliner, remote on the floor, a Hustler mag on his lap. </p>
<p>So I wake the fucker up. </p>
<p>“God, wake the fuck up, your “Creation” is in dire need of your omnipotent services.” </p>
<p>Well, the fuck snores away, well on the 7th day he rested. I did not take that to mean a fucking permanent vacation. I am forced to slap his fucking noggin! </p>
<p>Well, I did and he finally wakes up, thunder, lightning the whole show! </p>
<p>The Archangels have blades drawn on my throat and even those faggot Cherubs are biting my ass. Cause I pissed him off. </p>
<p>“Poet”, he says, as he wipes the droll from his lips, “did I not kill you? Or, at the very least, it has to be on my things to do list.” </p>
<p>Well, that did not give me a warm and fuzzy.</p>
<p>“God, Ultimate Dude of Dudes, A little help is needed on earth.” </p>
<p>“Poet! Asshole, The only reason you exist is because you are a funny fuck!<br />
Don’t push it BABE!” “And, being omnipotent, I bequeathed, free will upon ye. Which, ultimately means…You’re on your own.” </p>
<p>“God! Alpha and Omega, hear me out Dude. I understand the free will concept; but, maybe some guidance, a miracle here and there.”</p>
<p>“It’s a miracle you are still alive!”</p>
<p> “I know God, Emperor of all Creation, I am an asshole, freely given. But how bout some miracles! Maybe cure every child suffering from cancer under… say 12?” </p>
<p>Must have struck a chord, because I could see his Divinity thinking.</p>
<p>I took the time to surreptitiously kick one of those faggot biting Cherubs in the groin. I swear if God was not there I would have kicked all those little fuck’s asses </p>
<p>“Poet, I see your point. But I hesitate to interfere with Humanity. Free Will I have ordained”</p>
<p>“I dig it, Big Chief of the Universe, But Satan’s running rampant on earth, war, disease, famine and Republicans have been running the show!” </p>
<p>“REPUBLICANS!!!!!!” I could see the big guy was upset; however, he continued.</p>
<p> “I see your plight Poet, but free will rules the day. I can not interfere and that is final!” </p>
<p>“God, head honcho, think I can get in to see JC?” </p>
<p>“Poet, you are very close to being dead! get out of here. You are not coming here anyway!” “Nor can you expect an invitation in the future.” </p>
<p>Seeing that I was outnumbered, and the fact that he was right.…and.…. God did not give a fuck. I was ushered, not too kindly, I might add, from Heaven, And Poof I am here. </p>
<p>Gee, aren’t you lucky. Well, thinking of a way I can crucify myself. Got the wood, know I can nail my left hand to the cross, the problem is having, said, left hand nailed, I am unable to nail my right hand to the cross! Which requires me to plea for help! </p>
<p>Ring.….….. </p>
<p>“Hello” “Ehhh.….Don, I need a hand.“<br />
“Poet…watts up, Dude!”<br />
“Don, I need a hand.” </p>
<p>“What?“<br />
“I am trying to crucify myself and I need a hand.” </p>
<p>“Christ, Poet are you into one of your to be or not to be moods?” “Fuck you!” Click.….</p>
<p>dial tone… </p>
<p>Well.…That IS the question</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>
