I would say I fear suspicion but you know the old backward adage guilt before innocence I think I slept wrong stop listening to the television I might just rewire these barbs pack up my shit & keep my distance I really can’t stand a rabid human yet here I am bleeding out for your sustenance suspended in bad habits I must confess I hate any miniscule form of control however they happen that is my admission feeling out my new pathogen I have to say if karma is a bitch I envy her style• classic not too hazardous so much room for fulfillment you’d think I’m proud of it

Month: April 2023
for scientific purposes only
I found myself saying goodnight
to the love of my life
& throwing up in porcelain
the same night & I don’t miss it
there is really no explanation
take offense; I’ll wear you like Kevlar
knowing the only thing standing between
me & Jacob Seed is the music box
Elon’s Starship blew up and I can’t be
happier, neither can he, don’t be naive like me
a round of applause it seems
for this was truly a success ________

your call is important to us
in a process of project decapitation all within a moments notice I swear I’m not scared they said those birds were dead how unreal
now they’re drones piloted by the government I’m all for a change of address old name new documents thumbing this constitutional hit list I’m feeling shambolic home is my favorite four letter word beside free give me a second to confirm what I actually mean
PLEASE HOLD . . .

I am the hardest peg to shape
I know, I irritate me too
quite literally, you may reflect my kindness
& in those terrible seconds we become this typical human preset
unspoken mode
comedians
target so well
I love
we hate
humanity knows me so less
–LM
So,
I am the prototype of my own life trying to bring something new something nostalgic – futuristic I try to type& my mind spins I spin oh Vertigo where have you been all of my life I think my path split I think youtube shorts are advertisements Lite & smoke them in two minute segments it’s not a problem it’s repetitive sure but it’s not an addiction
is it a white elephant I’m avoiding or a loaded gun why aren’t I screaming where’s my voice why did it go missing where are we now where have we all went wrong
where are we going
–LM
I am missing. Poetry cannot save me.
I want prince charming to infuse
movie experience & make me cry
out of where where where have you
been please please please reduce
me
or macro-me I love I live to be
important important next to you
several heartbeats in,
LM
your pulse when you’re close
You know you’re with me when it’s dark &
every sound bleeds out it
drains from my open window
into my room into the floor
I am struggling with claustrophobia trying hard for sophistication the satin pillow over my face is poisoned
why must age reek of musk & heavy perfume
how could death become seductive even once
I think it’s argument won over several many
I keep convincing myself life is ____, though

a girl is laughing in her sleep
I won’t tell you God has a fucked up sense of humor hownownow I’m getting ahead(ache)
she said “I don’t know about April”,
somehow I was praying that was her name when she sends it by mail
I’m still clouding my judgment & until there’s no way to tell I’m totally absent
I’m gonna need a roll call somebody else hold my place | I need to be on stage I’ve got to dance the white swan
somebody say April Fools b/c
I’m laughing
