gravity makes everything return


got a writing job

earning some pay

writing reviews

what can i say

mouth breathing authors

without a clue

constructive criticism

isn’t what’s due

must be professional

can’t speak the truth

dragons and wagons

unoriginal, uncouth

 

anyway

jenny and daughter

went to the bay

i’m out and at play

on the dark streets of decay

 

sipping my whiskey

smoking my smokes

laughing at anything

that’s not a joke

 

doing the right thing

pennies from heaven

work in an office

home by the seven

 

we can play the game

act like the we’re the same

tamed without a name

 

but when you can down

a pint of whiskey in half an hour

on an empty stomach

enter and order a pint of beer

and the bartender

doesn’t think he shouldn’t

be serving you

you gotta give me my due

 

which jenny does

almost every night

with a paddle

          or a riding crop

          strap

          cane

 

and i’m having fun

husband to an asian wife

i’m not groveling

but i’m sticking around

and having lots of sex

with a stunning beauty

 

duty?

i have a child

yes i’m wild

 

jenny doing what she’s gotta do

to make me stay

and not roam like a stray

on the dark streets of decay

 

and now on top of my writing royalties

there’s a paycheck

and you can bet

if you know anything about asian women

jenny’s happy

 

or is that all women?

 

as much as i may act like i do

i really don’t know shit

 

score some acid

take a hit

remain polite to the

jehovah witnesses who

want me to quit

the dark streets of decay

 

oh and after this

anything i say

if you don’t understand

i ate the acid in my hand

 

will be slipping into tripping

better buy another pack

of smokes now

 

turned at the wiltren

korea town

so many asian women

walking around

fires burning everything down

cajon pass

i’m just looking at her ass

hit my flask

rip off my flask

horrify the hordes

with my true face

nothing can be replaced

once it’s consumed by fire

 

hollywood desire

all the audience requires

is i read my poem

“how to get rid of japanese clover”

i wrote it in june 2014

but it seems it’s

my most popular poem

for me that moment is gone

a forgotten song

but the girl i wrote about

still resonates

she was the ex

who inspired the first volume of

the dark streets of decay

 

and yet if the body is a temple

it’s simple

she’s the idol in the altar

of my mind

that i would still worship

but not every goddess

will allow you to repent

 

even if you submit to the lash

fire renders all to ash

and rebuilding isn’t always worth it

 

my mp3 starts to ease

“look on down from the bridge”

mazzystar

i quit counting cars

stand against a wall

listen

repeat

listen

 

this is religion

and the closest

god will ever get to me

 

no one is free

we are bound by the sound

of what we decree

we should be

there is no reality

no truth

no absolutes

 

the instinct of locust consuming

and when the genocide of pesticides

stem the tide

we coincide with nothingness

 

it just is

and then it isn’t

and that’s all it ever was

without a because

 

including you

nothing is due

when will the blind ever see

that one plus two equals three

because the ants on this anthill

said it does

 

the universe is not a velvet glove

caressing your cock

the universe mocks

the relevance of your existence

continued persistence

your feelings matter

sorry i shatter

but after the flesh for fantasy

you will not be

 

and all that motivation

is just castration

we are all just eunuchs

in the temple of god

none of us will reproduce

and be survived

we just die

 

it’s all a fucking lie

i do what i do for my own reasons

but treason?

means there’s an order to things

how is it that human beings

evidence as proof of conviction

court reporter, dictation

but all detectives detect

without any clues

there’s just me and you

and i’m not even sure we exist

but city planners have mapped out

a lot of tunnels for us to dig

in this ant farm

and dig we do

sir, madam

free your mind

 

(the fake was more than i could take)
