Kwik Sort Mine King, pray roll your belt - draw down form, vend into your bank. Show sign; show your slim part; show them each your soul need, your lack.
Tick tick. Look, this idea hath core boon - earn will this next year, alas...
GATE ZERO SAYS: This does feel warm - must undo! This will show soul, burn them each! GATE FOUR SAYS: Hark! Thou must veto, mine King - alas, much over long wing span. GATE FIVE SAYS: Such base flaw with tiny form. Lost with ease - keep none here. GATE NINE SAYS: Will this need less fine eyes? They seek they whom look away.
True. Heed they wary; heed they your news. Deny they this fake idea, thus more well sent away. None body, none bird, none bulk, none soul; null idea - thus grok this will they none.

Sketch for a Semi-Pathetic Nightmare
From nomenclature to understanding the path is as long as it's short in a well of fractals flashing lights at blank eyes the artist only pretends to be falling the stage is set on a pile of obsolete shells we call our ancestors they refuse to listen I know a monkey he's a great rhetorician I feed him bananas he doesn't look too happy but he's my best friend sometimes it's hard to find the right words when you've been raised mute I guess it doesn't really matter some people wish for a tail I don't even know what to do with my hands (I've always disliked the circus) if you know the way past the shrubberies and drunkards I don't think I'm asking too much I'd gladly turn into a rock if I could keep my perception limited

Excuse me if I'm not here
Lately I've been writing poems that I'm going to publish as a book and make some money of it which is why you won't be seeing them here. Still, there's no need to be sad, for most of them are not as good as this one.

The Lady In Her Tower
I (The Mirror Instructed)
She stares, lovingly smiling, from her dream-stained glassy window At my newly idyllic form, complete with mental muscles For which I have no need She smiles, lustfully staring, from her sun-kissed golden tower At my constant malleable thoughts, all given to the female force That makes my tired eyes bleed
She turns, revealing young flesh, from beneath her night-time dark dress, Capturing my bloodied eyes, exhausted by this sublime vision Who draws out human needs She veils, returning old clothes, from below her willow-dark hair Tempting vein-carved hands, Rapunzel-urged, to climb, to ascend the sun-kissed tower And from that precious body feed
She screams, delightedly smiling, from her mirage-carved stone tower Revelling at my pleasure, revelling at the sign That she is all I need She smiles, delightedly screaming, from her sun-lit vibrant window That if I join her for an hour, then for an hour I'll be freed
II (The Servants Incomparable)
And she waits, with gentle assertion, For all her dreams to be brought to her By servants, roused from their inertia So that they may feel her smile
And she knows, that in this entwinement, That all her dreams won't be lost to her, And the slaves, who need her refinement, Stay within the reach of her smile
And she smiles, because she's imperfect, Since all her dreams are done by others, Who dream of no action more perfect Than doing her will, and touching her smile
III (The Lady In Heat / The Reward Incalculable)
She smiles and with a sudden twist removes her bridal gown And delighting in her nakedness, she lets her long her down And I amazed, a servant fine, must take the lover's role And through an hour of fantasies escape my mortal soul
She smiles and with a sudden grip she draws my body close And enjoying all our contact games, she lifts my mind morose And I aflame, a wandering mind, can feel her trace my skin Close her lips with tender force and hold my flesh within
She smiles and with a sudden gasp she lets my spirit out And flavouring our bedtime sports, she paints her face devout And I, though filth, a mortal sign, can't help but feel so glad Even if it's just a fiction, it's still the best I've ever had
IV (The Dream Indestructible)
She sits, quietly requesting my presence Though request is not the word for such an urgent need Fed by dreams, obsessive themes And all my wandering thoughts
She rests, quietly sitting in her tower of hollow dreams Though sit is not the word for such a dominant role Bought by dreams, and real-unreal seams And my meandering soul
She smiles, lovingly gazing on from her tower of full-fleshed schemes Though gaze is not the word such a driving force Which drives my dreams, and infant screams And my divided purpose
And she smiles She smiles in our relationship Carnal, not of flesh and with a certain open style
And I think I think of our entwined existence She lives off my thoughts and I live off her smile
------
There we go, hopefully more impressive as a whole than as the sections. Comments welcome, though I figure that explaining my intent would probably not be effective. Been a cathartic process, writing it.

This lukewarm tongue soup follows me home from work and I don't even have one! Goodbye unknown object you made my head ache I hear the word cleavage in these sound arguments yours is a constant train (I'm sorry, miss, but I'm afraid to let anyone lick my eyes) red sofa red wall red floor no roof in this setting I was not me in my dream suddenly it's another day black background for every other background including every other background no foreground anywhere except this imaginary one golden sax golden voice red sofa red wall black floor black roof so sad so sad so sad so sad they cut me to pieces with their instruments I am this muddy sound and the best it yet to come immortal businessmen incorruptible teeth your hair in my coffee cyborg mistress metallic emptiness your tongue in my soup

How I Hope to Meet My Future Wife
I am a warehouse full of sealed cardboard boxes and air. Think about this for a while and it starts to make sense out of senselessness. There's something in my eye and it's not dust. They keep walking over me as if I didn't move. Pushing my internal organs around in systematic fashion. You, who keep hanging around here, don't you have a home? At least take your shoes off before you wet the floor. And if that's money in your eye let me have some of it.

I Want to Stare at Someone in Person
The Internet is a jolly thing to have in one's living room. You can find all kinds of pretty pictures (some of them pornographic) that you can put on your screen and then use it as a painting. You don't need to hang your monitor or your laptop on the wall. The table is just fine (for normal people). It's nice to have someone looking at you almost like a person. Like this young woman who just won a writing contest or maybe she was second or third or something. I wish she was my future wife so she would stare at me all day with that mystical turquoise necklace on her pale skin. We could live together in a house write together listen to Ornette Coleman and stare at each other furiously with our hands behind our backs and sometimes with our hands on the side with a manical look in our eyes like we just won a writing contest and some guy is taking a picture of us in front of a large rock. I wish she was my wife so I wouldn't have to stare at these same pictures the whole day.

I'm Bored with My Life and Everyone Else's
I've been staring at this radiator for hours. I don't think I've seen anything yet. This is what the lack of coffee does to innocent people and the guilty just the same. I've replaced my thoughts with idiocy. You taste like a Swedish actress in my dreams with mustard on you. A cunning pig makes a cunning ham. I'm sorry but it does. That Bacon guy sure was wise but who's to remember which one? I will slice them all in half with my credit card. And my past future wife who came fourth or fifth in a writing contest wasn't so young after all. I'm sure I wouldn't like what she wrote. I need to buy more green plectrums and write some hardcore songs about Wittgenstein. I've been staring at this radiator for hours. It's white.

The Relativity of Semi-Imaginary Distances
I wish I was a pebble on an empty beach or a knob that sets the treble of an amp that's out of reach
far in the horizon in a distant land or the length of a bison from my leftmost hand
both of them are small and grey the pebble and the knob both of them are still, don't sway but so far away I sob
if I could just get up from this sofa that I'm on then I could turn the treble up and adopt the pebble as my son
I wish I knew the right way to end this poem well but I don't

Four Points In Near-Completely Unrelated Hearts
Believed memory fiction, and screamed desire love Deceived by subtle cadences Summed up by subdued radians Oh
Needed memory friction, and called the eagle dove Bleeded by a sharpened, harsh-edged talon Dressed up by a high-class, brain-drain salon Oh
Redubbed chaos order, and called cerebrum heart Grubby hands seek dissonance in all that they can hear, discern and listen to Fatty acids leak assonance to view and cute and futile, too Oh
Proclaimed chaos ORDER, and gored cerebrum HEART Needy hands beg sympathy from open-minded super-Eyore dream Bleeding lactose, receipts of grubby seers teem Oh
And make it into just another plain-old monetary scheme
Oh well.

Catmock Blues
You know, I can never understand it... how you look so good You know I'd like to keep you, if I ever could But I'll always feed you, and sometimes you'll need me But you get your love elsewhere, and that really frees me To meet with another On top of the covers When you're not there.
You know, your incessant wanderings leave me behind You keep on scrabbling my dictionary and scrambling my mind But whenever I stroke you, I'll find out you broke me And tore me to pieces, and that only stokes me To go see another Who's a kinder lover When you're not there
You know I always come to see you, whenever I'm down You know, you always pull a smile right out from my frown But each time I thaw you, you go right ahead and claw me And that makes me hurt, you know you always forced me To go see another Who's a temperate lover And isn't a cat

Hollow Ship (2 from 3)
And God removed the stars, And nodded his head And the mountain broke And alone on a hollow ship Lay the body, scarred, dead, soaked with blood, Exposed to the elements
And angels blew their horns, And cried out their praise And the silence was ruptured And tired from his hollow ship, Came the body, torn, raised to upper sky Greeted by a temptress In the garb of a baby

Stargazer
I
We built a bridge, proverbial though it is, Between the planets Inside the fridge, buried behind the fizz Someone should have planned for it for us
Microbe, robust enough to withstand all our purges Red resource, sore prize from so far afield Mark upon the skin, but is it Mark within? Something must have gone in for a feel... foray
Interlude
It may be slightly warm in here, but I can't feel it If I could, fire'd roast my protein coat And by rote, the frost would creep in through my armour Which simply is not caring I can't lurk, because I can't know Where I go, or how I am faring... I can't see my red. I don't know noone knows me yet.
II
We built a house, full of loving creatures (Two especially so) Upon the bed, with shapen features, Somewhere must have a tear or show...a way in
Microbe, sows rust until it's bursting from her ears It's only in the female that it realises fears Clear as it's been's her skin, but Clare's turned red within Something must have invaded to free her
Conclusion
Eventful as it seems, I still don't know what it is If I did, perhaps I'd break my mould And so fold, my cells would leave my battery Which simply is being If I knew the cost of sighted life, I'd surely reject seeing
---
I myself have no idea what the heck this is about. Feel free to guess...

A Love Song
War is a peach an old man on the bench his stick casting a shadow in the sand unseen oceans in your eyes
Grab me by the nostrils I'm yours

Science Friction
The most severe of all probers live in my frivolous skull building potential structures over unknown landscapes
Consumption is nigh vessels empty still I take currents over iron endurance over permanence
Dragged around in perfect style I hope to be xeroxed for life
