this is a love story
written in lines we don't cross
in damage deflected
a code of conduct
a social contract of caged impulses
and shared priorities ( demons )
A little me inside of you that says HEY
every time you make a decision
every time you consider the future
Love is a future
Spare the truth
spoil the man
tell the truth
ruin your relationship
Young love is a chemical
( a compulsion )
old love is an institution
I bet myself who we would become
made an investment
put some of my happiness on a reserve price
banked and traded our time
Love is not a battlefield
it's a merger
it's a bear hug
a hostile takeover
Because something in the brain
wants to breed
bloodlines and trend lines
( population decline )
it’s all going down

stand on the shoulders of the dead
step on the necks
of the living
Sink your teeth in
to the skin
bite off more
than you can chew
Let the juice drip
from the corner of your lips
it’s high fructose fantasy
Burn the midnight candle
from both ends
who cares what
the shadows say
Stare directly into that sun
nothing can hide in 4k

god why did you make me dumb
too stupid to not eat from the tree
of knowledge I didn't want
Smart enough to know I wanted something better
not smart enough to know what that is
( to know I had it all along )
Shame is the sun
around it we revolve
doubt is my resolve
I am full of cortisol
The fruits of my labors are bitter
like the lumps I made in my bed
I must be a fucking princess
because these peas are killing me
God is dead
guilt is dead
be all you can eat

they say time is an arrow
but it is a snake
a spiral of DNA
( shackles and chains )
Can we escape our nature
fast enough to break the atmosphere
or long enough to mend it ?
What does it mean
if particles can go back
but we can only go forth ?
And The Science Man Cometh

at midnight we play war
the other ball drops
to a ten second countdown
that’s a wrap on that
Whatever happened before
that’s over now
New year, new you
new reasons to yell
I will scream at you with my thumbs
How dare you type that where I could read it

it occurs to me
as I stand in my living room on a Wednesday morning
licking the leftovers off the biohazard tangerine back cover of
How To Live Safely in a Sciencfictional Universe
as the methyl-octane-trigger-crisp sting
trips my taste buds
like the switchback on a circuit overclocking
immediately
too alive and already dying
burning like heat off another body
a tingling sensation in naked space :
I may have a problem.
You feel
powerful ( capable )
like you could manifest anything
but what you want is sex
The tactile, to fall apart
and into someone else
Because their slick skin,
their beating heart,
their fingers in your hair,
on your neck ( in your mouth )
still taste like candy
Because the weight of them on top of you is finite
because the shapes we wriggle ourselves into
in the presence of other people
because of the holes we need to fill
the stars in your eyes
like the scars on your body
an ochre handprint on the walls of Chauvet
they mean something
That you were here and
lived
thought
ate
slept
fucked
felt
even if it was only ever that electric numb

i am the king baby
crying for his crown
an emperor in new clothes
the gentle weight of gravity
pulling us to the ground
Don’t open that door
don't look down
the well ( the rabbit hole )
you'll fall faster
like it knows something we don't
Like a coyote off a cliff
the hangman on a rope
there’s an iceberg waiting below
Am I humpty or his men?
The answer is always both
I want things I don't deserve
I envy people I cannot be
I am lost in a jealous sea
Move on
Move up
Swipe to the next screen

hollow
fucking ache of mine
Do you stretch them before you
alone at night
( like I do )
Do you hold them up to the light
the holes in your self
Unfold your façade like a damask
lies as thin as lace
Do you gaze deep at the abyss
does it ever look back
And who are you
if not the monster in that dark
if not the little boy in those wells ?

i love this poem
these words
this nam shub
this fucking cringe
I have written here
The sad fat fiat fuck cunt cuck
no coin shill
led around by her dick
inside us all
He ($he) dances here
in atrazine and inflammation
sugar and Suge Knight
fountains of eternal youth
september forever
These suitcases of meaning
mirages ( mirrors )
into which we carefully stuff
so we can still carry on
so we can understand our identiology
Heavy as bricks
throw them thru glass houses
of AI Blockchain transparency
and brick by bit we build
the rockets of Babylon
Snatch my purse
of debts and regrets
grab me by my shibboleths
the albatross around my neck
an icy hot wallet of guilt
an anchor in an open sea
an io.u
It only weighs me down
I will fly to Mars on hope and hot air
The children of earth will wish on satellites
Starlight, Starlink
help me not to pol think
