f*ck you too

to anyone who thinks they can just
pick up a pen and
personify meaning
like its simplicity's brother...

f*ck you,

those who think a mic is made
to deliver a blank package...

f*ck you too.

don't even excuse my French
cause we've been speakin this
foreign language since day 6
after us came it
like words from our rib


we've pierced mental
then bled
in attempt to speak it
and write it
we become it
so that what we've shed
is dialect and definition...

never a small price paid in half
or overdue

so f*ck you
... and your paper-cut English too.

paying the sheet addict

they called her a deep fiend
a noted fanatic a sheet addict,
with her face in pillows
automatic static was a habit,
electric measures of endeavors
left notes musically classic,
range worth 5 times more than
his bread could basket,
and her body could modulate
in every sense: scales elastic,
no piece
could pass it
up,
and down,
she would sway and syncopate
indicate and accent-uate,
each rhythmical coin that hit the floor,
'til the beat was off then she'd ask for more,
'til her rent was paid and bills were sure,
or until her chords where resolved
and her mind deemed free:
when each harmonious moan
could live vicariously.

the hypocritical feministic type

Just because we've advanced
pushed our rights
pulled our stereotypes
birthed you and
established matriarchal standards
of standards you may
never believe...
doesn't mean
I'm gonna go
out of my way
to be the man in this,
know that
I'm a natural born feminist
(with a problematic male interest)

prove yourself
halfway meet me
then back up what you
mean...
cause i'm pretty clean
and many guys have liked what they've seen

used

you felt used
though circumstances
permitted me
to be so

the carelessness
of your
carelessness
is begging me to
care less nes-
ted are those thoughts
of me
bound and well rested,
and I know you slept
on them too...

maybe sleeping is all
you wanted to do

what does a
50 yr. old man do if
he can't compose an email
after falling
3 years short
of college?
