So

I've noticed a propensity

tending towards the absurd
which has
caught me in its grip
irresistible,

that urge to
return
return
return

in order that one's commentary
embodies that cert-ain

something that nothing
but unpredictable
spacing could lend

ur so goddam dead

killing you, killing you
is all i wish to do
hating you, hating you
is all i need to kill you

we were so happy once
under the summer sun
you never had a hunch
i was loading my gun

killing you, killing you
do you want to kill me too
killing you, killing you
was all i wanted to do

But I ducked and ran for cover

And you ended up alone

Trapped behind prison walls of your own psyche

Your own Jailer.

Whilst I roam free under sunny skies of an open heart.

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.
They lay. They rotted. They turned
Around occasionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off them from
Time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.

If poetry is, as they say, dead
These are the ugliest zombies I've ever seen
Please, please, please,
get this out of my head
Oh, how I long to be clean

The man in the mirror sees his face;
It is stained-
he smacks his lips and smears,
around and around
,something brown.

(Repel the zombies with this good shit!
with this something brown)

The man in the mirror speaks in twisted tongues;
It is pained-
he smacks his lips and smears,
around and around
,something brown.

Ode to coffee.

Ohh coffee you are so sweet.
You perk up my day.
Even if before I was asleep.

You come in many flavours.
Many distinctions.
If only I had time to savor
your taste and season.

Ohh Coffee where would I be without you.
What would I drink?
Drinking Tea is doubtful.
I dare not to think.

Still they come
The zombie hordes
Clumsy, ugly, and dumb

They make a sound,
it's a groan.
They write it down,
it's a poem.

I fire my gun
Still they come
Clumsy, ugly, and dumb

stately manners Cool

the sun was shining brightly
and i could hardly wait
to wander to my window
and gaze at my estate

whats this i see a little bird
with a bright and yellow bill
i beckoned it to come and sit
upon my window sill

i smiled at it in happiness and fed it a crust of bread
then quickly slammed the window
and smashed its fuckin' head

I've got a poetry thread around here somewhere.

Autumn Leaves

Fall has come. The air is chill. The leaves are turning red.
Like miniature parachutes whose tree-limb-planes have fled,
they fall upon the ground and lawn and all over my car.
To clean them up, I must say, a pain in the ass they are.

Found it.

I'm a man of the land; I'm into discipline.
I've got a bible in my hand and a beard on my chin.
If I've finished all of my chores and you've finished thine
then tonight we're going to party like it's 1699.

FOr a post that started tongue in cheek
i say it has progressed
to stately things and things that reek
oh boy am i impressed

your dainty prose of zombie hordes
has left me feeling weak
you've made it clear that these are boards
not fitting for the meek

soothe my soul you daring lords
of poetry divine
stab me with your drunken swords
and on my flesh please dine

For I am but a zombie
hacking out this prose
while gorging on your rotten guts
and crunching on your toes
