			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>he laughed and spread her legs and said “Fuck Me”<br />
<br /></br><br />
I ran out of the building<br />
Made of counterfeit promises<br />
And of stripe clad designer shit<br />
<br /></br><br />
She was everywhere<br />
<br /></br><br />
The breeze<br />
The wind<br />
The manic song of birds.<br />
<br /></br><br />
I rambled down the street bleeding gut shot<br />
<br /></br></p>
<p>She was the Mailman’s fake smile<br />
The school children’s skipping steps<br />
The knowing smile of false traffic<br />
<br /></br><br />
She was the hum of summer lawn mowers<br />
The incandescent laugh of young lovers<br />
The foolish pride of suit wearing wannabes<br />
<br /></br><br />
She howled at my weakness<br />
Assaulted me with Hollywood smiles<br />
And soul eating love words<br />
<br /></br><br />
Holiday picnics played and measured my creeping steps<br />
Balloons painted the phony sky<br />
Fireworks snapped and crackled<br />
Me<br />
To the ground<br />
<br /></br><br />
I crawled up yesterday’s steps<br />
<br /></br><br />
The world<br />
Regarded me<br />
Like decayed vermin<br />
<br /></br><br />
A mouse better off dead<br />
In the trap<br />
<br /></br><br />
I slammed the door-less room shut<br />
Bleeding sweat<br />
<br /></br><br />
Sanctuary sounding Renfield giggles<br />
In madmen harmony</p>
<p></br><br />
She appeared before me with condescending laughter<br />
<br /></br><br />
I tried to screamed<br />
<br /></br><br />
But I had no mouth<br />
<br /></br></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="H" class="cap"><span>H</span></span>er blood screamed contrast to the polished white porcelain<br />
Begging for meaning<br />
As it swirled and sloshed<br />
And descended down to where?<br />
If that all that is left to me?<br />
Diluted blood on some incomprehensible journey<br />
with the faint pique of Lifebuoy stinging my senses</p>
<p>They killed her<br />
Stabbed her with lying knifes<br />
Shot her dead with scented candles<br />
Fried her brain in love potions<br />
Flayed her skin with flagrant promises<br />
Buried her in maggots and puke larvae</p>
<p>They believe they know me</p>
<p>Can you know the stopped heart?<br />
I have no need for power ties<br />
Nor is my smile painted<br />
Like a performance piece for a 3% wage increase<br />
I have no use for laughter<br />
I am the shadow that disquiets their dreams</p>
<p>They can never comprehend<br />
That I DON’T NEED</p>
<p>I am invisible in the light<br />
Yet blaze like painted pain in moonlight’s caress</p>
<p>I will fuck their God<br />
And bring down heaven<br />
I will blot the Sun<br />
And rape angels with the devil’s cock</p>
<p>I am madness<br />
And I’m coming…</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="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>he had the sweetest smile<br />
But eyes that seen too many dark places<br />
And when she decided to play with the world<br />
Her mind was sharp<br />
Like a glistening razor<br />
Pulled out of Richard Speck’s pocket<br />
Blood stained and thirsty<br />
Screaming for vengeance<br />
Always at that mill<br />
Grinding<br />
Honing<br />
whetting<br />
Her hatred for this world</p>
<p>But it was the broken clock she carried<br />
Around her neck which<br />
Hunched her back<br />
Like Quasimodo<br />
Like Atlas shouldering the burden of this world<br />
It sprouted springs and gears<br />
The tousled hair of some deranged Medusa<br />
Wavering in mad rhythm to her tortured steps</p>
<p>But the wood was cared for<br />
Polished and shone<br />
Not giving reflection<br />
But absorbing all<br />
A black hole<br />
Where only night lived</p>
<p>She would smile and touch it constantly<br />
it’s hands frozen<br />
In rictus<br />
The stiffened reach of a long dead God<br />
The clock was perpetually 9:47<br />
It was when her love left the world<br />
When her life creased to be<br />
She said<br />
Love would come back<br />
And it would start ticking again<br />
Others would laugh at her<br />
And roll their eyes to the sky<br />
Not I</p>
<p>She was far too young<br />
To push a shopping cart<br />
Filled with the tattered refuse<br />
Of other people’s lives<br />
of her own</p>
<p>Yet day in and day out<br />
She rolled wearing<br />
treads in the streets<br />
Like a Roman legion off to some<br />
Distant conquest.<br />
Only she knew that destination</p>
<p>I do not see her anymore<br />
No one ever cares<br />
A paltry few<br />
Really care…<br />
Perchance<br />
She found a new land<br />
Where her eyes match her smile<br />
Where life does not assault her so…</p>
<p>And<br />
I hope<br />
That clock starts ticking<br />
Again…</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="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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="B" class="cap"><span>B</span></span>lind lightning snakes invisible against the coal black night<br />
Macabre laughter drowns out the pleas of the Poets<br />
The death rattle of innocence masks the Bard’s song<br />
The empty stomachs of the hungry<br />
Roared in thunderous accusation</p>
<p>The universe was engulfed in shadows<br />
The Moon doused its radiance<br />
Light died painfully<br />
Its screams sucked down<br />
At the point of singularity</p>
<p>Hungry animals devour the strong<br />
While the meek became chaff for the scythe<br />
The preacher man wrung his hands<br />
And cursed God<br />
Love became rape<br />
Cannibalism replaced altruism</p>
<p>The Few<br />
Huddled in the cold sheen of despair<br />
And listened to the dying screams which haunted their darkness<br />
They heard the approach of vicious evil<br />
.And clutched each other<br />
Cursing the skin that separated their essence</p>
<p>On This day<br />
When the Light Died<br />
And Darkness prevailed</p>
<p>They prepared to Die</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>
