Black linen
Black linen
Flowers in the garden
I’m planning another party
Wisteria treetops
Dripping down the branches
You tell stories and
Take chances
Will we ever know what romance
Is again
I count on things
Not people like you
Diamond rings
Don’t tell the truth
Run run baby
Times ticking on you
I know it’s 7pm
The free DC protesters gather
On the corner of fourth and M
Every night at this time
Didn’t waiver it’s something in them
The resistance is now
The realist shit isn’t televised
I don’t mean to alarm you
But believe everything’s not all right
Bet tomorrow it’s raining
But don’t wager all your savings
Even if it’s gloomy out
Life’s still amazing

The Summer of Edward

It’s an old saying: “80% of being a professional is dressing like one. ”The first time I heard it was right after highschool and I remember being surprised at the ‘real world’s’ phoniness. Ten years later, I still despise business wear but have accepted the importance of image as absolute truth. A blazer/suit is the universal symbol for “I’ve got my life together” and signifies a trustworthy, focused individual.
It’s a big, fake world, and every used car salesman, lawyer, and pyramid scam recruiter dresses accordingly.

Have a Baffling New Year
*a poem from Jan 2020
20/20
No choice but to listen
to the silence of what you say
BRIDES & GROOMS
occupied empty rooms,
lonely in the hallway
uncaged birds sing to them
when we said forever
we meant maybe
and it’s 3 AM.
You’re feeling shaky
what’s done is done.
Happy new year baby
I saw you standing there,
caught in a silent storm,
floating restlessly in your truest form. You’re just flirting with it
the fix is no solution
The fix in the substances
save your New Year’s resolution
you look for the door
Seen you at your worst
even then it works
today you’re the same
January 1st
the clock resets
try your best?
tell them where it hurts.
These waves are are unrelenting
if you swim against them
so stay above the surface
of this three ring circus
hindsight can you see
is 20/20
you arrived
showed up
running off of fumes
because when the world says NO,
you hear MAYBE
I think that you’re a lot
to love
happy new year baby
ran on empty.
Don’t go all alone
the world will give you plenty.
The ground is shaky
bring me where it takes me.
The world is a question and
we’re all trainees,
following secondhand directions
Up in the trees
The roads are rough
And the maps aren’t cheap
Life gets harder
when you wear that armor
because you can’t get stronger
on your own.

If you’re far away
This may just work
I am in love
With the distance -
See?
Somewhere in the Middle
how much of me
is made of machine?
unfeeling
still feeling
something
while time runs away
somewhere in the middle
part of me
blurs
I stay
hanging in there
still wondering
what it is that’s missing
soon as I wake up
I decide to shut down the day
i wish I could choose
the fragments so scattered
to let goor lose
cause it’s hard
to play life by life’s own rules
and impossible to win
cheating at solitaire
cant marinate anymore
depressions so boring
rage and pain an infection
no cure yet
self medicate like Neosporin
try to find the right balance
a pendulum swings like clockwork
time moves
I want to move with time
turn pages
Gone like the Past
change minds
Soften the unresolved feeling
from hard core to Cinemax

A fairytale ending
When will you catch up?
I gave up on you, and it felt so good
to be free again
Don’t believe I didn’t feel your pain
your pure longing
your desperation
I captured it all
kept it inside of me
like a live photograph
I understood every human bone inside
that kept your black cold heart beating
that kept your calculating mind
alive
but never well enough
at least when it came
to me
if there is anything left
a spot of integrity perhaps
I hope you find it
because there is nothing left
of us
I gave you up like chocolate during lent uncomfortable at first forgettable at last
and when I rise again
the habit will be dead
