fancyfull20something

Fancy glasses missy
how much do Ray Bands go for these day?
Fancy pants mister
how much does labor cost these days?
I'm fasted lifestyle
I don't eat, I barley drink
I'm fasted lifestyle
how do I look today?
This fade?
it's natural
This tee?
it's silk
This belt?
it's pure gold
This wasted life?
it's all mine

stars and stripes
I can't sleep at night

sleep walking in the daytime
conversation becomes short

close the door
turn on the fan

light switch down
whir of spin

eye lids close and I begin to dream
but I'm not rested, not sleeping

my skin is damp and my breathing is broken
I am disjointed

I started with a jolt and an "Oh God"
looking around for the source of a voice

I heard words
I heard whispers

I know you're in here
I swear you're female

I stare at the gray blue wall
waiting

I shine my light around
no one is here

then I feel you press close
only you're not real, not yet

I can't tell if I'm seeing the future
I can't tell if you're seeing the past

are we both here?
Can you feel this too?

I get up with a shot
out onto the porch

I purge you out
not yet, not now

I'm left alone
no one but me and the warm wind

Heat

The heat arrived today,
I don't remember it knocking
Suddenly it was in my bedroom
as I woke
My bathroom,
as I showered
My kitchen,
as I searched aimlessly
My living room,
as I slipped on my blue shoes
My garage,
as I stretched for the soon coming ride
My streets,
as I rode in and out of cars
My streets
My breath
My sweat
My heat

Monday Morning 06/15/09


I'd much rather be outside today,
tossed in thunder and wet
I'd much rather be sleeping in this storm then sit and
stare and
stare and
stare
Until the sun comes out

Canoe


Canoe
over and,
over and,
over
float
away
Until you come to a water fall
Then you simply float away into the sky
You can fly or swim in blue
You decide which you do

People 06/13/09


There's a man with shoes on shoes
he walks tall, others walk small
There's another man who won't listen,
can't listen,
doesn't want to listen to a word I've said

Ivy hair, only grey
once green with pretty pretty flowers
Now, she cries

Eating outpost, MSG, fried goods,
salt and sauce
Unruly and discontented teenage girl won't have this

Interrup-


Boxes,
brown
Labels,
white
Inked identification,
tell me where you go

You are the unnecessary overflow
Bringing about this headache
POUNDING!

Boxes,
open
Labels,
pealed
Cut about, strewn about, talked about

Interruption

Untitled 6/10/09


She has "TRUTH" written across her chest,
worn,
bled with pride.
The truth is black and absolute,
void from the false, leaving no room
for the UnMan
Only the righteous walk through

Red and black painted white by her smile

Struggle about
this "T" will swallow you whole,
drowned son

She has TRUTH
