dance puppets
i’ve taken up voyeurism lately
my roomate has an old pair
of binoculars. plastic strap
goes on my neck. it’s bovinely
simple. edge the knob till you
can see. a girl with curly hair
runs from a fat, relentles bee.
i must not know what love is.

to be incapable of appreciating
the true beauty of the female
form when it presents itself, you
either have to be another beautiful
girl or a man in love.

My feet ache from so much walking. My
footsteps pound the pavement hard as I try to
find my way back. Back home. Back to something
familiar, something comforting. But I once get
there, wherever that is, I recognize nothing.
I feel like a stranger in my own home, in my
own life.
Everything moves around me and yet somehow I
feel like im the only one standing still. I am
an enzyme. I make things happen; for everyone
else. New connections form due to my presence.
Impossible connections. And yet at the end of
the day I remain unchanged. Unmoved. Unphased.
Fundamentally the same entity as I was
initially.
I see the big picture of everything except my
own life. The paint is forever wet, it never
dries. On a whim I can change it with ease, if
only I’d still care to. What’s the point
anymore? Maybe I was never meant to have a
purpose. I am just a macroscopic catalyst. A
character from a greek tragedy cursed with the
ability to see the future of all things,
except those which affect his own life. They
always end up poking their eyes out; chained
to heavy objects. Or maybe vultures offer them
this courtesy.

long term memory formation is simply not an
option right now. i know this. my brain knows
this. my fingers dont know this because they
just do what theyre told. but its basically
common knowledge. i smell burnt rubber and i
dont know where its coming from. it smells
good. comestible. i hate using adverbs.
"na na na na naaaaa na na na nnaaaaaa hey
jude. "
this girl texted me tonight. i may see her
tomorrow. my life is a roller-coaster of total
emotional upheavals. i don’t try things. i
dont do things. i am things. im so fucking
drunk. dont let me down. dana fuchs… if you
dont know who she is i feel sorry for you. her
vocal chords make my blood vessels enlarge.
think about the absurdity of human
interaction. think about the girl. the girl.
and adverbs. whatever.

All good writing borders on philosophy but if
it pushes the boundaries too much it becomes
trash; too little and youve got yourself a
best seller. Its a fine line to walk, and so
few have.

men, when they reach
a certain age, turn to art,
when they are done with sex
without realizing that sex,
done right,
is art.

vanity and silverfish
silverfish slither across my poems
and drunken ramblings and all i care
for is that they don’t get too close
to the cocaine because god forbid
i have to snort a fucking silverfish!
i’ve never written this much while
wired before. i feel euphoric to the
point that i don't want to write;
i want to writhe and dance and
jerk off while giving a presentation
in front of prospective investors
for a company I am CEO of, i want
to dive off cliffs and snowboard
down mountains with little to no
snow. i want to eat pizas by the
diameter, to share my bed with
scores of women: fertile, menopausal,
slutty, religious, alcoholic, stupid,
scientologist, unshaven, on the rag,
but please hold the fucking models -
there’s nothing I hate more than fucking
models, the vanity; the vanity!
i cant stand that shit, you can
be a nine or ten or whatever but
vanity is my least favorite thing to
fuck, "get over yourselves" i want
to say, but why would a sailor stop
sailing? be in "the here", and now
baby! lets reset the past together,
I didn't know ice has negative calories,
nor did i care. want to eat this silver-
fish? you think they taste good?
look how thin they look! eat it, eat
it for me, yeah, it's kinda hot!

sometimes I listen to a song
and I'm taken back to a small room
in a small apartment; I'm entering into
that building, climbing those those stairs,
and the world is beautiful once again,
if only for a moment, even if just because
I forget that it isn't.

the best poem in the world
yesterday i wrote the
best poem in the world.
words flowed smoothly,
elegantly, fell in just the right place,
at the right time, with perfect
count of syllables and sweet mellifluous
diction.
the prose was crisp like fresh picked
lettuce and heavy cucumber slices
with just a bit of salt. reading it began
with clear water from the filter
poured into a never used glass.
It chills it slightly.
condensation forms on the glass
and you pick it up with your coarse
hand from chopping wood and
artificially inseminating horses
and you spread your thin bird lips
and gulp it down, your throat
gaping open like the wide-cut canals
of new york city.
it's so refreshing your whole
body shudders in ecstasy
your bladder voids
your colon erupts
tears sublimate
spontaneously
your heart palpitates so unmercifully
it stops. and as time slows down
demoralized, anesthetized,
you simply
die.

hopeless or otherwise
romantics are sad creatures.
never be with a romantic
you will never be enough
and even if you are
you won’t;
they cling to 'what ifs'
they fall in love with moments
and ideas
and moods
and sunsets
with paradoxes
and all things beautiful
and all things fleeting

the bars
lead us not into the bars
lead us not into the nice bars
the dingy bars
the rooftop bars
the familiar bars
the new york bars
the seedy hook-up bars
the basic bitch bars
the hidden bars with the entrance in the shitter
the open mic bars
the karaoke bars
the gay bars on polished cobblestoned streets
the underwhelming beer bars
the bars with a cover
the patio bars
the bars with three dollar shots
the bars where they pretend life is good
the bars where you're blacklisted because
you smashed a glass and fought the bouncer
but it's okay because they distill their
vodka with cat piss
the bars with the tits and good coke bathrooms
the red red wine bars where your friend works
and the drinks are on the friend
the day drinking bars
the birthday bars
the bars of sweet salvation
lead us not into the bars so
we can have a good night's sleep
a healthy liver
a solid morning’s dump
and not much else.

sweet bird
my student took it at both ends
we raw-dogged her all night;
at light she leaves and says, “oh friends
you have my number, right?”

A girl walks in
in jeans and tall leather boots;
a goddess, with green eyes and short straight
blonde hair. I want to weep for humanity
such moments are like
witnessing God himself.
she floats with grace
and smiles too often
and tears out my heart a year later,
in the gym, of all places.
sure, I smile because it happened.
i'll smile. i'll smile.
i'll smile.

a solid five
her mouth always
seemed full even
though she wasn’t eating.
on the standard frat scale she was a solid 5,
at best a side-chick,
a lazy Sunday, downtrodden fuck
reachable at every three
am.
what a scene,
big milky tits, long awkward legs
that have never seen a treadmill,
always stoned,
always wet,
gets off from vaginal alone,
and never wants to spend the night because I
didn’t never had any weed.
we always fucked like
rabid dogs and
as soon as i saw her walk to the bathroom
i wanted her gone. it worked out well
that way.
she really was a solid five.
but tonight she’s in california, and
tonight... she’s an eight.
