diamonds within
July 6, 2017
i gaze into
encrusted skies
above
half moon
pond.
diamonds
within
the water
is what i see.
how could i know
beyond?
this sky feels
like home
the air
like life
long ago.
armageddon oops
July 6, 2017
What if it all explodes,
the universe inside
pushed through
its fragile shell
overwhelming
all that exists
above the big hole.
What if bricks fly
as leaves in a firestorm,
cellos burn like straw,
fingers napalm
lips paper.
Will you hail the second coming?
Buddy knows first
July 5, 2017
He leaps
from the couch
and growls at the sky.
Then looks back at me
to say goodbye.
Soon come the winds
straight from hell
all we can do
is bark and yell.
The Earth is an ember
our spirits release,
another failed planet
another failed peace.
Render freedom irrelevant
July 4, 2017
Keep the masses
occupied –
celebrity
focused.
Feed them
must see
must hear
must play
must have
content.
Imply jobs
are supposed
to suck.
Escape!
Consume!
Normalize
EXCESS,
call it
life’s GOAL.
Believe it
uncool
unpatriotic
to think
otherwise.
