deflated all over when I read Robin Williams was diagnosed
with dementia
three months before he died
so glad you understand
& sorry I’ve been tongue tied
I’ve been sick
to be honest I can’t pinpoint the source
it took me out all by itself
like a boy’s first date
unfortunately I think it ended the same
Trojan horse I failed to saddle

it seems fatal heart attacks are more common on blue Mondays
suffice to say its not hard to get away with murder just ask the 45 bags of human body parts found in Mexico & it doesn’t always take a weapon to dismember a person if you aim for their ego
I would know I’ve never been a fan of fragile but reading my best friends email just means I mean I mean that personally I do honestly admire trust the way I admire faith & I’m really taking a risk but maybe peace isn’t just a filter
[do not bend
do not stack
do not crush]

on the contrary I think I’ll be okay without the black flag waving in the water I can ignore it from the harbor I don’t have many people I let in there are more I shut out & I’m not a fan of being taken for a fool so
I’ve finally decided to worry about me because nobody is saving me except me
& don’t I love playing easy difficulty all blood & honey & laughter
you’d think I was missing the s in slaughter but red is not my color who has time for mind games anymore the issue dealing with moonshine [and I’m talking about the satellite] is it’s always there regardless of what the sun thinks of it
annoying fact innit

I am charging my battery with a sp li t cord looking for the brighter side of no surprise brows wrinkling over dentists’ warnings & how you shouldn’t wet your toothbrush before adding toothpaste I’m thinking as if that’ll change any time soon
shaking my head over jaded accusations exhaling for five seconds just need a little meditation maybe some mediation I’m absorbing information taking in presidential bids & AI clones feeling troubled for the new generation scrolling around facing your about-face maybe rearranging my poker face too as Anne Sexton put it & I couldn’t have said it better it is June and I am tired of being brave

I knew
mistakes were inconsequential
I just wanted the last thing
I said to be true

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

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?
–LM
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
–LM
Cheers to you for a job well done!
No one can compare to your creativity
& passion
it’s no surprise you’ve been so successful
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____
–LM
& 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
–LM
