the Tyranny

look in
from out
you'll find
no doubt
that hope
is lost
the river's
crossed
we've drowned
the crown
on heads
of killers sits
and
the people
cheer
"my god!
we're saved!"
and not
one person is there
brave
enough
to say
"you fools!
you're all
but slaves.
already dead,
you are."

a bizarre on boats

they saved
the best
for last
but will you make it?
how long
can you
hold on
how long
will you
hold on
no vistory's
been won
without
a war
be careful
open your mind
lose yourself
blood river
flowing
gently
rowing
down
and out
and nude
and wet
from
blood
its sinking
you
are sinking
drinking
blood
and drowning
you
didnt hold
on long
enough

now or ever to come

dark waters
calm -- the
scariest kind of scary
ice, sweet tea, and lemonade
most tired but a treat
awaits me
string of pearls
neckalce
illuminating
walkways
friends, there are no friends
my god
there is
no god
the fountain is
a spider
long watery legs
the bubbling center body
a sticky dampness on my neck
life as you know it will end
when grace gets here
the timing
most unfortunate
regrettable
a pain
in toes that creeps
upward. to
my heart
heavy
like the news
of death
to children
---
billions of dollars
of fakeness
of beauty
of couples
hanging breathlessly on iron
the promise of
forever for
a second.
reach out and touch Faith
for a price
she's a hooker
no satisfaction
in
the rush
of blood
to parts
already bloody,
spilling
a grayness
in the face
and soul
but freshly darkened hair
to fool the world
already fooled
by fools
my only friend
a tricep
a token
---
in heat
expansion
my mind is a wonderfully
miserable place
stop to see the roses
smell
the roses
treat all interactions
as if they were with
an autistic
a volcano
erupts nightly
a ship sinks to my right
the palace of Caesar shines brightly
an Italian parade passes by
A bride and her groom every hour
the while gown and the corsage
the beauty you think you are seeing
is really only the Mirage
