the Playstation showcase was a disappointment
        a lot of color not enough substance

Had I known you were looking for the ethereal I would’ve sent you the eye and been on my way
      turns out even God has a conspiracy against you
        [just an inside joke]

people have a vain habit
     of making my work about themselves
   that’s my fault I know you’re onto me you’ve got to be I know you’re reading stop butchering my pitch its the bottom of the ninth and I’m a conspiracy favorite maybe right now is too soon
                  for all things to sink
                                    in but

         you’ve got to know I call first dibs
   on your acceptance to the academy
        it was a fine showing
                   under your concrete
        I’m that seed with
                  blossoms no one but me could water properly
         I thought we were one but two
     is always the better
                                  ending    

          Now listen here

the missing adrenaline

Tina Turner is dead
              pass the satellite phone Senator

I’ve got a message: I’ve never been more covetous of anything other than Jo Cameron’s genetics
     & speaking of surviving another armageddon
lest we forget the sixty thousand pounds of explosives that’re bound to show @ the next false flag event I’m
         heartbroken face like a wet weekend all I’m left singing is what’s love got to do with it?

what was left of Lucy

sometimes the tiniest sound makes me jump out of my skin they say I’m not focused hard enough muting my emotions
    though I’m not good at it like a bad business slogan the more you play with it the harder it gets
          call me a regular Mrs. Lovett I’ll take a dive for Benjamin Barker there’s no way he’d throw me in the oven is it loneliness or desperation they already call me a mad woman for being a pincushion
         she said I think I’m not too shabby a 10 just sick in the head and she never
                                          fucking  sleeps

Cheers to you for a job well done!
   No one can compare to your creativity

           you overcame so many obstacles
    to achieve this win
          & your perseverance is an inspiration
   to everyone
         you
           me__

Here’s where I draw lines of success in pen somebody give me a dollar amount
      I’ve got less than a month to figure this out something stripped me for parts then sold me to a junkyard don’t ask me how I am how I was or where I’m going I won’t know the know-how
              I lost my way a few miles back but we’ve met along this path I’m low on iridium I think it’s poisonous I’m halving the dosage

I hope you’re as happy as we are! I can’t wait to celebrate you winning this award____

say it with your full chest

& maybe poetry isn’t a thing you devote your life to

   I always knew love was fleeting
      I just never expected the real thing
to jump out of my closet

       suddenly my heart burst wide open
   I’m still battering hatches
   reaching for my staple gun

I am sickened of the dictation
                 I’m a terrible criminal just like the woman in the Bible nO oNe eLsE contributed I realize now I was always on this island alone

           I choose to believe
             in humanity
             because I am
       brave I chose
             to be courageous

                that’s more than I can say any day
         for you

the beginning is always the hardest

  is it so difficult to imagine
        we shopped around in the menu
   for experiences we knew
               would strengthen our soul
     the way we could shape our bodies

                        & under the guise
      of accidental circumstance we reunite
             the programmer has the final say
        of when
            and how

                        [  we always knew why  ]

& all along
        we are so loved

suspicious sign in prevented.

Here lies the long throw
         between fear and indifference
the last thing I’d be afraid of is you in fact

      to be my own eulogist
   guzzling unsound narratives

from all sides

        I don’t have the energy for martyrdom
I can only say I understand past tense
           [I’ll never be heard from again]

             I am not some dark type Pokémon
    I’ve learned enough before we met
        here’s to attempting to do anything right
                    the first time

screenshot the stereo

you don’t experience yourself
    so you do rely on outward opinion
        whether you disappear like Clint Eastwood or blame the CIA for your own character assassination
              we’ve got mail!
        & dreams
           pretty slimy fucked up dreams
                          icky icky “comfort” food

the wee smirk has become the big cheese
              how dare I prefer it p(l]easant
        give a KitKat break to the liar
          there’s so much wrong with the world
     I’d rather not add to it
