The Blues

Waking up
where
you don't
want to be;
slice it
as you like
baby,
sounds like
prison
to me.

Grammar Lesson

Those
who think
in the
passive voice
have no
souls
and yet
they run
the world.

Just An Eigenstate

Fuck old age:
who cares?

For decades
the world
has crushed
your shoulders,
but is no longer
a burden.

Revolutions,
pestilence,
family squabbles
prove nothing
but that life
goes on and
not everybody
has freed himself
yet.

No need
to fear death:
it won't help.

Life is inevitable;
there are no escapes.

Breathe while you can.

A Simple Fact

If you leave me,
my heart will break
and the crash
of crystal on brick
will resonate
to the end
of the universe.
  ~ mce

Longing

So many mornings
he wakes up
craving just a taste
of amber Kentucky
anesthetic.
The heart says yes,
but the liver says no.
How sad the things
that fall away.
