Regency

Faded

She hands me

The peers,

A dragon.

Bent time,

Feeling the pulse of the crowd.

The heat of the skid fire,

The cracks of the fire crackers,

Scared I hold him.

His sweater thick and warm

My tears hot and strong.

She sits,

The queen of the party.

In the trucks fog lights

Illuminated,

Her king not too far

Rolling joints for the townspeople.

A dragon.

Her grace is in the beanie slouching off her head,

Her beauty is in her combat boots,

Her rein will be long and prosperous

Over the smoke infested nation.

Pixel

 

Each time I drive I see pedestrians that are not there,

They seem so real,

But as soon as I approach they disappear.

Like the damp road has swallowed them whole.

When I focus on the road, the tops of the trees seem to swirl.

Like some sort of cursed entities,

Without the focus of my gaze their atoms may swirl and deform all they want. 

It’s as if I am the glue that holds this universe together.

That my consciousness creates sense from utter nonsense.

Some times I just watch the road form in front of my eyes;

If you look hard enough it almost seems to be unfolding from nothing.

Pixel by pixel,

The road seems to say all we are doing is floating in a dark abyss. 

It’s all just smoke and mirrors.

We are being deceived…

Well at least I am.

Simplicity


My favourite words consist of loaf, agave, grotto, and fuck. 

The favouritism stems from their versitality.

You can have a loaf of agave,

You can be in a grotto of fuck,

And how fucking nice does a Agave Grotto sound.

I’d swim there, I’d eat a loaf of bread there, I’d tattoo ‘Agave Grotto’ right across my chest, and show everyone with fucking pride.  

I don’t give a loaf what anyone thinks about my favourite fucking words. 

I’m sorry they are not words like eloquence, or opulent, or silhouette. 

I guess you can have a eloquent silhouette. 

And maybe the opulent shine of her eyes matched her eloquent nature. 

But are these words really practical ? 

No. 

In real life it’s not like poetry, if you tell someone their silhouette is eloquent, all you will get is a confused look in their eyes rather than an opulent shine. 

If you say ‘You look fucking nice today’ they will understand. 

Life is simple. 

Only if you make it simple. 

Agave. 


Short


Basted 

If my hands were udders 

And my fingers teats

Would you milk me every day ? 
Eastbound 

Instant microwave eggs 

Not what I wanted for my sweet sixteen

Category loaves 

Infinity scarf 

Doesn’t mean you’ll live forever 

Dollar store eyeshadow  
Small Town Effect 

Rolling hills and drug deals 

Mark my words 

The back of a stop sign is no longer innocent

He smokes?
Out of all the times I’ve laid eyes on him as he shovels the steps of that concrete
Never once with a cigarette
Surprise, surprise
I cut another car off

7 o’clock, he’s shovelling the snow from last night
12 o’clock, he’s trying to keep up with the falling snow
2 o’clock, smoking and shovelling
4 o’clock, still shovelling
At 6, he gives up
Calls it a day
Goals complete
His daily race against the weather

Does his entire life consist of shovelling, smoking, and over pricing goods?
It must be…
