9:34 pm - YOU GOT LOOKS THAT KILL BUT YOU ALSO GOT GILLS
|
theinternet
|
Standing by the punch bowl.
Drinking full cups, spiked.
Chewing on a mass of Fruit Stripes gum.
You smile, I put a tattoo on your
tongue.
Her dress is beautiful,
The dance is amazing,
We're doing our own
boogey,
getting down,
doing all that totally rad shit.
The only problem,
I just made every thing up.
Instead, reality is a bitter place.
There's no punch bowl,
and if there was some punch,
It'd best be laid upon my face.

3:03 pm - HOSTILE BLURTY TAKEOVER
|
theinternet
|
Don't retreat boy,
you're acting like a silly little bitch.
Your stomach is a mess, the festive
sickness leads with blistering quickness.
You aren't sure, you aren't sure. You'll
never know, an empty home. Because you
cannot stand to live alone.
And perhaps the distance was a blessing,
but you love your love in ziplock bags
to save the freshness, but ultimately
altering the taste. In the end this is
a lesson in lessening. A vision of division,
can't hold water if you're not treading
on some toes.
But loneliness is a noose.
And it's binding.
And so we struggle, and we compromise,
and that's why our insecurities are hanging loose.
And I guess, that's why people do this all their lives,
not everyone can have clarity.
not everyone can survive.
I thought I could bring you old with me.
Another late night, night lit, sunday drive.

she's such a mystery she must've majored
in incognito, but let's not shake knees
until the days glow. the morning shakes
with an inebriated light, and I do the
do until the do don't fight. but we're
such fucking monkeys the way we gather
and call. The morning after afternoon
headache, spitting out sentences we
don't recall. Split back like scissor kicking
sisters taking sinister sides. The splitting
of the lines, into a critical divide.
This is what it is it is us versus you.
Don't be so stale. My friend,
Don't be so victimized.
And it won't be so much pressure
to allow the engagers to
atomize.
he's such a leper you'd think his hands
would keep to themselves, wrapped in
ribbon cloths, can't touch another woman
even if the victims sought. spit spaced
sentences as if the lines were bought
he lies in lanes catching the balls
trying to fall to the gutter that
don't want to be caught. He doesn't
love anyone and certainly doesn't love
himself, the we say that he lays just to
gather his thoughts. But its a leap of
faith to gather the fields that've been razed
the children whose minds have been raped
the futile, fetal patterns that have been
totally, and ethereally ingrained.
Had a very pleasant childhood, and still hate
absolutely everything about self.
Don't be so stale. My boy,
You have so much to live for,
But lets engage all types of irritators
to allow these kids to
Go here forth.

10:55 am - ME AND JOEY A ALWAYS BE SWEATIN THE FLYEST HONEYS
|
theinternet
|
If these are our happy days,
then call me Richie Cunningham's older
brother.
Call it college, call it writers block,
but I start the flame, then flicker
into the background from
whence I came.
And it is a glory less job.
This is vicious the quickness in which
things change, and its liquid the
motions that we swim in. The fishes
that we hook and live with. The emptiness
embodied in all our kitchens.
But none more empty than here.
But none more vacuous and filled with
self-deprecating sorrow.
None with dreams of dual magnums on Zanzibar,
right to the bottom of his jaw. None with
more debilitating, crushing, empty streams
of thought. Take an eternity of bad luck
to never have to see a mirror or a photo
again.
This means war, and war means war means
more and more of mortars and more than
you intended to see dead. But war
claims victims and victims with their
diction on death and death brings sorrow
but im sorry that the candor of tomorrow
is strung out like the california condor
and I want nothing more than to be happy
where I stand.

1:54 am - DOES THE WAY I SMELL REMIND YOU OF YOU?
|
theinternet

I swore the eye sore she swore she was
was nothing but a figment of her
imagination.
but she swore like we warred like I took
her self-confidence and hung it out to dry
the day before.
--but now she's all grown up,
and I can't keep up.
They're some tough rocks, bub.
I'll hit the bricks, kid.
Before I get creamed.
She swears that she cares what she wears
-- she wants her
little droopy drawers.
and I stare, and imagine I was there trying to
shed the very being that is
me.
The more she sweats the more she lets herself
feel alive.
And the more she feels alive, the less
I want to be.

theinternet

well, we could call it bad luck
or maybe we can call it bad timing
still the questions festering of
unenviable pestering is why someone
thought it was fine to turn a city
street into a firing line.
a knucklehead, pill popping, inconspicuous
leads to ridiculous arguments leads
to a full clip spent leads to three injured
and one near dead.
We'll hold a prayer vigil at the church
dear lord let the insides that are mangled
start to function, let the ricochet be undone
and our deliverance delayed because our souls bunching.
Let's pretend a bat-signal esque stream of prayers
were to reach the sky,
would that be enough to repair the internal damage
to prevent a pour soul from his right to die?
Well, it's remarkable how these
streets become so stark cold,
how some judgment is so off the keel
that it allows such arrogance.
Did you really think, really think
there would be no consequences for this?
For all of you jackasses who seem intent to
shoot to kill over a woman.
I hope to god their vagina's secrete dollar bills.
You're going to need it.
Or they're just not worth it.

You say you want to change my mind,
So we sit in coffee shops in our free time.
You drink your coffee and I sit by your side safely-
You smile my way and you’ve already begun to change me.
I sip your coffee every now and again,
But it’s not yet to my liking.
You say you want to change my mind
So we drive in your truck just to sit side by side.
You smile my way, and it’s just the beginning of this.
Give me that latte and sit by my side-
You’re changing my mind one sip at a time.

all this and nothing all this and once
maybe for all.
we can get the dirt devil and do something
about this dust cloud in my head,
a black and decker with a past that's
checkered.
what do you feel about the decor of these rooms?
the tornado swings by and busts the doors off their
hinges.
the window pane rattles as the shutters shudder when
the feel me cringing.
this isnt a house,
it certainly isnt a home
and none of us want to live here anymore.
its a wash. its a cracked windshield
the way this mind works I cant explain
high wire hard ware with a hay wire hard stare
a total block in the front of my brain
focus focus focus focus focus focus
focus on the pain.
focus on a paragraph, sentence structure
creativity
and I'm to blame.
my weaknesses all exposed
half way there like knee high panty hose.
and its inexplicable how the details
now are on the internet for download.
this isn't a house,
it certainly isn't a home
and you know what they say about doing what you do when in rome.

the bumps in the road feel like
hand grenades going off underneath
the dodge.
so I guess this is how it feels to
be car bombed.
bombarded and car bombed its jameson
and baileys to barely break and
then sparks some.
everything happens for a reason?
is that the cureall excuse
we're still using?
it starts with a spark and a door
unlocked, and there goes the
TVs the VCRs and the Analog Clocks.
Welcome to the 90s,
where a soul will rest in a bed
unkept trying to figure out
memories that make no sense.
the grind of the day slugs
at my face.
a team by team basis on hide
and go sneak.
the tabacco on my breath makes me
cringe, I can just feel the stink.
and you'd look stunning if we
could rewind said analog clocks.

We walked through the park
down by Red Bug's Lake
Broke a little sweat
dragging out these things
All we're carrying
we never found it's place
Or the way to make a space
to settle down and live
We spread out that day
spread out on a bench
Got ourselves a tan
Now our hands are red
The closer we get
the sooner I forget
Most things come along as this
when your not ready yet
Now I can't work straight
can't cross off a thing
couldn't make a single call
your name's not on the list
Want this shift to end
cause you are coming in
waiting for your strawberry hair
to swing right past at four
Now I'm getting home
sprawled out on my bed
Got a few more scabs to peel
A few skin cells to mend
Wished sooner could I see
how bad you were for me
But I am set to self destruct
I've been programmed for this

woke up this morning,
nothing tasted good.
The pizza and the soda,
although not the most nutritious
were unbelievably hard to
eat.
guilt trips et cetera
just want to escape all of this.
writing letters of apology
to all who care.
then trying real hard to get the hell out
of here.
no acts of symbolism
no embedded metaphors
just a sign draped over my
shoulders
says:
help me, help me please.

2:47 pm - THE JOE FORTUNA BASEBALL LEAGUE ALL-STARS
|
theinternet

It's been a wacky year,
she says as she's grooming her hair.
short sighted -- a Cyclops
cut up time like a stop watch,
swilling on mixed drinks and beer.
No, It's been a wacky life,
I say without looking up twice
consistency’s lack of--
and disproportionate man love
drinking completely for spite.
It's been long since the last
check point I saved
A collage of fading memories
Every segment labeled -- "My Salad Days"
A baseball player becomes a mother, A dancer
falls in love with another dancer, There's
no love in Ohio, A surfer too
becomes a mother, Two sluts remain sluts,
Basketballs turn into beer pong balls, And some
are too smart for themselves.
Meanwhile, some of us grow up. And others have
much left to do. Some of us find lovers,
others are misguided youth.
And I swear, That's how we ended up here.

if these night terrors dont stop soon
the nightmares might take their hands
and rub out all warning labels for
those who are running their hardest
to make a plan b escape plan.
this is a city where the day goes
bright and the day glo might be
rubbed off the barrel of an airsoft
heckler and kotch. and the bullets
sprayed will create an absent page
in the two-thousand and eight
class yearbook frame.
what have we done,
heres my hello kitty ak-47
brapp brapp brapp
onomatopoeia.
these prose and pages won't stand a look
for a M-16 with a hologram
George W. Bush.
killadelphia,
how does your garden grow.
an airbrushed nightmare
with some character
from Nintendo 64.

My life is spiralling downward
Into a black abyss
But the worse thing is that no one seems to notice
I scream and scream and scream
But no one hears me screaming
No one sees that I'm hurt
No one knows I'm dying
I'm slowly withering away
Turning into a mindless wraith
Not knowing, not caring that the world moves on
Because I'm stuck in a dark bubble
A bubble created to protect me
From a world that I want to be a part of

shrinking shrunken spent.
drinking way too much,
forgot to pay the rent.
counting sheep with a shotgun
the recoil is so vicious
somewhere along the line
this stopped being fun.
And It's restless, this
distress the kids will
kill. It's fun, they say
life is a video game.
It's fun I think, maybe
for a minute until the cops
come.
drinking drunken dent.
thinking way too much
forgot to pay respects.
dying to feel hardly,
the recoil is so vicious
somewhere along the line
I forgot about being alive.
Here comes the mistress, her t-shirt's
wetness will spill.
It's fun I think, till I count
my inhibitions.
It's fun maybe for a minute
until the cloud of confidence
turns into a bubble
and crushes everything in it.

octofetus

Effortlessly one fell
Quietly slipping into the madness
The familiarity of my own diseased being
Don't underestimate the flawless design of the hole
The brilliant engineering you can always be swallowed up by
No matter how much you've dragged yourself out
That ineffectual way your fingers sink into all that you hate so much because it's such a big part of you
Overwhelmed as everything crumbles
Hands pressed against the cracks
Too little, too late
Watching it all splinter
Mourning it all
Questioning it all
Why am I struggling to repeat all of this

on some witch doctor shit
his knee bone connected to his leg bone
his head bone connected to his dick bone
don't say no.
don't ever say no.
she is so fucked up,
speaking in jibberish languages.
push pin skin, a voodoo doll face
cushion for such release.
don't give up, just keep trying.
just this once won't hurt.
don't say no.
don't ever say no.
he feels so fleeting this way,
his emotions insulting different area codes,
his emotions jet lagging in foreign time zones.
she is so fucked up,
eyes rolled back and chest so bare,
this is a bad movie, or a teenage
mockumentary.
cushion your head for this release.
we're not sorry.

She: "Am I beautifull? "
He: "No, you're not."
She: "Will you always stay by my side? "
He: "No, I will not."
She: "Will you miss me when you go? "
He: "No, I will not."
She: "Will you love me with your heart?"
He: "No, I will not."
[He takes her hand and says]
"You aren't beautiful, you are luscious."
"I will not stay forever by your side, I'll stay forever more."
"I will not miss you when I go, I will die."
"I will not love you with my heart, I'll love you with all I have."

You have got to be kidding me.
I rolled bladed all the way back to
1992 just to see you.
You're going to tell me this is all for nothing?
Brace a smile and say, get on with your life?
You'd pat me on the head, and bounce me on your knee.
You'd bat your cane against the steps to help
teach me.
Look through your glossy, broken eyes,
tell me life’s worth living.
Now I've on my laser lemon shoe laces and cherry car red
skates and made my way back totally aware,
and you're going to tell me.
Kid, when you die, you're not going anywhere.
You said something different,
Trying to see me through
Kaleidoscope vision.
The last few brain aneurysms have really changed you,
and I'm not sure I know what to say.
You fought the good fight,
for all of those years,
and you don't know why.
I looked at the battle with
contempt.
I guess I was the blind one.

Her whole life was raining down
but her smile was sunshine through the clouds,
and I knew never harder would I fall.
Even if somehow she couldn't stay
and all the clouds had blown away,
I knew I was lucky they had rolled in at all.
