the child, cut in two



not the dying man

but his reasons

 

his hands

which are grabbing

 

which are empty and so

what would you

fill them with?

 

the bones of his children

is an obvious answer

so look past it

 

reinvent the circle

if you have to

 

build a better bomb

 

we have been in this desert

too long now and eating

nothing but the dreams

of the starving

 

we have been bleeding

for as long as we can

remember but

listen

 

every day brings us

closer to a darker age

 

every war is the one

that cannot be lost

 

this is what we tell the

widows as

we undress them

smoke



this man found hanging in the

house of truths

and that you know him

 

that every lie is remembered

 

every act of brutality

repeated without end

 

stone to blade to automatic weapon

and it's never really HOW

a man was killed but HOW MANY

 

it's never WHY but TO WHAT END

 

and there are reasons found wanting

and there are those that i applaud

and there is this man found hanging

and then cut down in time

 

there is hatred in any direction

you can aim it

 

there is whoever it hits

 

now is never the time for mercy

ACTUALLY, IT'S STILL PRETTY FUNNY



Especially when it involves a delusional cockwad who runs for President and says "I Could Stand In the Middle Of Fifth Avenue And Shoot Somebody And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters".


She's holding a pretty hefty amount of
fertilizer there.....

sleepless




don't give me the gift
of jesus christ

don't tell me that faith
carries the same weight
as anger

who would you kill
without regret?

silence is one lie
denial another

at some point
every age becomes the
age of gold

we are all worth more
or less
than someone else

we are never enough

and maybe you recognize this as
the root of all wars

maybe you believe in
blind absolutes like good and evil

a young boy left in a
department store
by his mother's boyfriend

the mother dead and
her body hidden
and what happens next is that
the world moves on

the boy pushes beyond the
edge of the poem

grows up
or possibly doesn't
like others i've known

billy drunk and unconscious
in a burning car

linda devoured by cancer

always the phone at two a.m.
and the faint smile in
the voice on the other end

this girl at the door who says
she just needs
a place to spend the night

says she'll fuck you
but that needs a ride to
her cousin's house in the morning

says her prescription ran out
two weeks ago
and she can't afford any more

asks for a beer

a cigarette

says she hasn't slept in
three days and in the
morning she won't look at you

doesn't want to hear about
pollock or picasso and when you
get back home you
notice that the money's gone
from your wallet

you consider all of the lies
your father ever told you

all of the reasons you have
for hating them
and the way that all it makes you

is tired
the way his friends
disappeared after picking
the corpse clean and now
here i am seven years later with
my wife and children

with nothing in the bank
and the mortgage due

with this anger which can
feed me for
another hundred years but which
burns the skin from my
family's bones

which makes me as hateful a
god as any of yours

my hands moving always
without regret

I ASSUME IT WAS A CRACK HEAD OR A TRUMP SUPPORTER.....



Stupid fuck down the street couldn't wait for the 4th, 
decided to use fireworks
to burn his house down on the 2nd.

and no one cares about your precious pain



writes me a letter,

tells his girlfriend she has to leave

 

tangled up in blue on the car radio,

says he never liked dylan

 

says he never liked the stones

 

steps onto the railing then out into the

open air above the

river but the story gets confused here

 

says he needs to tell it right

 

shows me his wrists but

they have no scars

 

sits on the bed in a foreclosed

room and pulls the trigger

 

girlfriend too stoned to move and

the kids watching tv and

that these are the last great days

 

the songs of angels written

across filthy walls

 

gotta eat gotta fuck gotta

pray but honey’s too wired to sleep

 

paces the halls of this cardboard

house and all it does is rain

 

no apologies

 

no saviors

 

stabbing in the parking lot of the

mini-mart on the first

day of the season of ascension, he

lies there bleeding, asks me

if i’ve got a light, if i’ve got a smoke,

and i tell him i just want to

get back home

 

ask him if this is the

right story and he just smiles

 

sound of sirens approaching as

i push my way through the

wolves and the vultures,

and i think about sunlight

 

i think about my

grandfather’s suicide

 

how blind hatred drags each of

us in all directions at once
