New ones by me:
(translated from italian)
Stratosphere
Every time you open your mouth
Infinite spaces acquire a new name
Darkness, Dawn And Closure
We were born in this corner of bare grass
not a metre from here
We learnt every rhyme they wanted us to
We memorized the name of every artificial colour
We said everything we had to
We waited for our limbs to become human
We searched, moving shadowy angular objects to see
if something really hid behind.
We began to worry that our burden
could disappear in a cold morning of spider webs
leaving us in an empty motel room
smelling of grey lime
on whose doorbell "Freedom" was written.
We stood still in the green submarine dawn
when the seabirds glided in the watery vault below us
We raised the head towards the sky
and drowned with water in the nostrils.
Avenue Psalm
And like the wolf in the shiny jacket
explains to us in detail
each frame of the garden beyond
Your candied faces
show us the way
and make us understand with broad gestures
how wrong it would be to reject this special salvation offer.
I Watch The Policemen
(For Robyn Hitchcock)
I watch the policemen
in front of the pastry shop
with their black pointed top-hats
that shift the hives on the trees
They go to prostitutes as well
to eat a snack
and the prostitutes wait for them
playing Monopoly between themselves
Don't annoy them
they might play a trick on you
they might scare you with their black masks
screaming cuckoo from behind a bush...
I watch the policemen
down in the street a bit sad
dancing a still valzer with the prostitutes
they shake the yellow leaves that fall on them...
In The Garden Of The Junk Dealer
It didn't seem fair to me
that's it.
Half thought is born, crooked
lame truncated
It waggles rambles staggers
then falls down
legs on the air and remains still.

I really loved your 2nd poem, it gives the world this dystopian feel

Then it must be a coincidence, since I don't know what "dystopian" means

I tried to eat canned beans today. I did heat them, but they tasted so horrible that I just had to add some salt. so I added some salt, and then some more salt, and then some more salt, and then some more salt, and then, when I had done the best I could, I threw them away.

Finally, a Vision, Yes?
It's very confusing how sometimes the lamplight curtains or not you know what I mean.
The proud asphalt surface still wet today speaks to me the ancient something.
Like I would watch sometimes but yet not yet correct?

Got myself dressed and ready
put some gas in my car...
gonna pick up pretty Jackie
we'll follow the Northern Star
When the Saints come rollin' in
I'll be by the riverside
when all is said and done
feelings are better left inside
The Wild wood is on the horizon
Wild wood will soon pass by
the moonlight on this country road
makes our spirits high
Say hello to Aunt Cissy
give my regards to mrs. Tice
such a black night up ahead
can't you feel it in your eyes
Turn the page just keep going
the maps are left behind
taste of a milkshake moon
is all we care to find

could someone please fix my right-hand shoe?
sometimes I wake up and mistake myself for someone else than who I think I am.
at such an occasion it's usually past noon
and the children squealing could be birds but I wouldn't bet on it.

A Premature(?) Nocturne
Hark! The Lark, on this morning so dark, resembles the bark of a dog. Make no mistake, mark the width of the lake, and the park, and the trees, and the fog.
In bible black water in crimson red dress lies the body of sweet Emmie Drey. And a trout swimming by mourns the woe in her eye with a shriek of a horrid decay.
(And may I point out that the trout that did shout in a language so fishy and moist couldn't bring my love back in a worn iron rack but my heart from its depths did it hoist.)

Great
I have a melody in my head and I tried to sing it with this poem as lyrics... it turned out pretty good actually
Shame that I don't have a microphone

Winona Ryder, how I wish I could ride her horse, but I don't even know if she has one. And even if she did, she'd probably keep it hid in case someone tried to get it on vid and then sell the tape to her fans along with some stainless steel pans that she used to cook food on before they got mysteriously stolen from the kitchen where the ink in the sink is not nearly as pink as one might think.

Don't you just hate it when all those raw vegetables follow you home from work when you don't even have one? and when they sit on your coffee table, all red and orange and green perhaps wave (but only a little) and say: what have you done today? (nothing.) and when you try to leave your apartment but can't because they're blocking the way and that's when they begin to get closer and closer and closer. all red and green and orange.

They Tore Down The Lighthouse (Robert? Can You See Me?)
Sand is quite metastable
when put inside a blender
and put inside the sunlight.
The dark, dark sunlight.
Sunlight can not fill
and empty bathtub full of eels
wriggling to find a habitat.
The dark, dark sunlight
sucks the pain out of plants
and water out of man made apricots.
Tasty, tasty apricots.
The giant aquatic peaches
smother me. Crushing me.
Suffocate me. Bother me slightly.
The dark, dark sunlight
is filled with rage
waiting for a hapless sole
that needs a soul
to sale on monday nights
for vegetables and breakfasts.
The dark, dark sunlight
smells of dankness and blackberries
that have been submerged
in electrical wiring that has melted
from the cold.
The dark, dark sunlight
tastes of poison.
Like a cancer, or a blowfish,
living only on the dead
before the living can cascade
into oblivion.
The dark, dark sunlight
feels cold, yet warm,
fuzzy, yet stark
smooth, yet rocky
holey, yet demonic.
It shakes too violently to test it
conclusively.
The dark, dark sunlight
sounds like the night
full of emptiness, dispear
fog, erroneous headlights of cars that drive themselves nowhere,
fear, hatred,
and a gentle whine.
The dark, dark sunlight
appears to be a spirit, a specter
an apparition, that casts its white
shadow down
into the cavities of humanity
carefully guiding its hands
to your errongenous zones
ready to fulfill your need for pleasure.
We're all ghosts.
We're all ghosts.
We're all ghosts.
In the dark, dark sunlight
We're all ghosts.
We're all ghosts.
We're all ghosts.

Untitled By Anonymous
People walking by me
as I sing a song
a song to open wounds
and visions to the past.
So many people
walking by
leaving imprints in the concrete.
Faceprints imagined, fallen laughter
Graceful and refined
Taller and taller
Greater and greater.
They look, tilt their hands,
perhaps pose a query
of why you don't have hands.
You answer:
Soapbox reform a sock left to rot in a pile of decomposing remains
of a different time, a different day
But a stain now,
But a stain now.
A blemish left to mar
and distract from another
time or place or fancy or gravity
and yet the perverse pleasure recieved
for deed undone but in imagination
time reflects casulties
For time is a liquid,
formed akin to plasma,
that isn't tangible
that isn't imperishable
that isn't meant for me.
Shaded glen hold me for eternity
until the ground permits me
to give back to the world a more sustainable solution
masterly and mastering the essence of a condition unstated
unsealed and unmotioned
The price is falling.
The sky is falling.
But no one really needs the sky, its a placeholder.
So many people
like so many seconds
drifting by, drifting by, drifting by.
Not for me.
Not for me.

everybody knows about the peas I bought so instead I'm going to tell you about the girl who sold me those peas. it was a bright summer's day and the people were walking in numerous quantities on the pedestrian street because isn't that where people are supposed to walk when there is one and in this case there was one and the people were walking on it and I was walking on it too. what happened next was one of those young red-haired girls with paper and stuff, collecting money for the Amnesty or the Greenpeas or something like that, began to approach me, but I know their tricks, I know how they do the ambush, so I circled around the parked bicycles and stayed close to the wall and picked up some speed so they wouldn't get me. yes, I got away in time, but then I saw the peas in the stand and they were very cheap peas and there was a girl behind the stand selling those peas, but she didn't look like the kind of girl who would sell were cheap peas, in fact she was very pretty and looked like she usually sold very expensive peas (but obviously not too expensive but worth the price, high-quality peas just like the girl who sold them), so naturally I thought that there was nothing wrong with the peas but they were so cheap because they had so many of them and tried to get rid of them while they were still fresh, so I bought four litres of them, and I think the girl actually gave me five, and she smiled to me when she actually gave me five, and I paid and left and went home and ate some of those peas and they were very large peas, overgrown peas, and there were quite a few worms there with them and some of the peas had already been eaten by the worms and perhaps the girl who sold them didn't know what kind of low-quality peas they were, but I really think she did, but then again, she was very young and she only worked there so I suppose it's fine because now that I think about it I guess she really didn't smile that much after all and even if she did she had probably been told to do that because customers are very happy customers when they are smiled to by a young and quite charming girl even if the peas she sells are barely worth the price.

Holy sh*t, that's one of the most incredible things I've read in all my life
Loved the way you recorded on paper (well, in digital form) very twisty and tortured streams of consciousness, especially those parts where you repeat certain words and concepts as the narrator thinks.
How do you write things like these?
Do you ever published one?
Do you have a job?

Substance
We were all born
With a splash of sperm
We'll all die
With a splash of blood
Weird, I am happy at the moment, but something like this, so nihilist and gloomy, came through my head
