no vonneguts, no glory

(and there is no surprise)
a slight a mount
ex citement (quick)
re treating back to
the oldest ha bits of
letting every thing
get to you (or at least your kind of people)

drop-deading wanting and
bike-skid-suicide-mission-back-pack-full-of-glass
down-the-snowiest-hill-at-top-speed-too-late-at-night

there has been a lot of talk recently about who, he
cannot be trusted is mistaken or what isn't ours.
a fool in doubting is just a boy helping his mother
bring groceries inside from an suv's backseat:
touching serene fingers wet and running along empty
handed times new irrational fears.

not hearing a word

self
a b
sor(e) bed
or eyebrows
smiler-really-no-end-sight-and-jaw-widened-ever-so-slightly
or somebody else's seconds should-have-been already
winding up our own soul coughs all night
and hasn't slept in days

my other half is 2xdoubled me or squared
no lips split from exclusive mouth breathing
no contagiousness or "wake up!" no more glasses, EVER

guilt or knit projecting always
feeling like it's the end of ending it all minding
your own knees, grinding
or knocked
or are my shoulders a too moderate climate for your taste?

i'll clap when i'm impressed



"love and kindness, two things you've read about but have no idea what they really mean."
-at work, to me.

messy, isn't it?


when i was maybe 18, 17, something.
i smoked 'bad weed.'
i convinced myself i was dead/dying/etc.
i filmed myself for six hours for no reason.
i found the tape and it's pretty funny.
most of you, if you're my real life friend, have heard this story before.

i just want yr extra time

diy tattoos or walking home at three in the morning from king and bathurst, one or the other.

it is different


If I am like everybody else, if I have no feelings or thoughts that make me different, if I conform in custom, dress, ideas, to the pattern of the group, I am saved; saved from the frightening experience of aloneness.
-Fromm

what the ghost of someone's day says

laissez-faire
2 clouds kissing
and capitalists

a very
thickly laid binding
or where do you keep me?

on or on or living
with shoulders to
subway readers

i am not so
shrugging often
with you

real or not i
am truthful with you how
can i not?

rich to be stayed
or deal trist for
twelve-times sucession

a greater
kiss your nose
graphically laid out explanation.

vanishing act

test roll with the 19-35. it's almost difficult to use because it's so wide. i hate that it's pretty slow though (3.5). oh well, right? you can't always get what you want.
