knowledge is gossip
there is nothing
to know really
except for the cigarette
smoke curling past yr eye
& how it vanishes
all else is small talk
bullshit
forget knowledge
forget wisdom
smoke is the supreme sage
the distinguished lecturer
in every language

unzippered
one day
the mortician
will zipper
yr lips
shut
& all yr
unsaid words
will be swarming
up yr
dark throat
like mad
fucking ants
suffocating
at the mute
closed-off
mouth-hole
that once
offered
a freedom
you never
had the balls
to grab
hold of...

when will we make another list?
i've been
pretty sick
of that
shitty list
of thou shall not's
for a long, long
time, now
what a way
to exist
to go by
a list
of things
not to
do
this planet
seems like
just one
giant
over-populated
open air
prison
we so called
free
creatures
filled
w/red blood cells
each in the shape
of a microscopic
'no'

my soul is a broken down valise
i was born
w/my angel
split open
like a worn
rubber sole
i was born
w/my angel
dangling
like a busted
wristwatch band
i was born
w/my angel
slumped down
by my feet
like a muddy
broken down

This blog is updated irregularly and has nothing to do with the poet's output. The poet is actually disturbingly prolific. He writes about 5 poems per day. The pages are everywhere, even stacked in the bathtub.
