deep dreem

hey,

I'm
seeing spiders &
shadows & lights again &
there comes a point
in your life when
you realize
it's all this forced speech
about how
the weather is fine &
no one has died
that shouldn't have.

it's like sitting
in an unfamiliar bathtub
til the water goes cold,
knowingly just floating
in frosty clouds of your own filth,
that sick type of epiphany
that we're all just sad little
feeder fishes painted gold
that live to eat s**t f**k float
get old go blind become senile
then hopefully die
before anything too terrible happens.
happy ends.

unlikely.

high noon &
the horse flies are biting,
for the life of me.
if you find yourself dead
or alive.
they'll pay you for perfect timing.

so smile sunshine
the drain hasn't
swallowed you yet.

no problem no sweat.

jesus f**k ! i don't even have words to describe the way that made me feel . Amazingly written , totally speechless .

[terry smith]

you are the lyrical version of a baddass!!! love it!!

[Devons]

This has an influential characteristic coolness, like some kind of skip-stepping, gum-chewing gun-slinger stalking abandoned streets shooting at twitching tumbleweed. The smart cynical wisdom of the language is like coking a snook at life and all its vagaries, almost dismissively but at the same time offering up intelligence mixed with a hinted background of world-weariness.
All these things come to mind on reading.
A unique and stylish production, written with depth and substance; and a jaunty posture of meaning.

u flatter me darling

[Devons]

I try not to flatter people, but I do concentrate on the positive elements of writing. If there was something technically off though I would say. I keep genuine flattery for my love life ;)

[Jerusalem Cricket]

yup. apprehension.

[The Twin Arenas]

That's fucked up. I'll never think of other bathtubs the same way again. Or, I will, but you put it all together.
