And now a word from our sponsor

And now a word from our sponsor!  Who makes the rules
about who we are
if we will be happy, rich, poor
die all alone in the dark
or live with value and promise.
big or small, happy or sad.
Who makes the rules

Is it a big crap shoot, or just the way it is.
one
life
my mistake
or cosmic chance.

Is loneliness really true freedom

or the first and last stage of despair.
I am living just to die
one breath at a time
inch by inch
step by step
frame by frame
in your own analysis.


this world owes me nothing,
and i struggle for all that i have
and in the small hours
Nothing matters as long as I believe it doesn’t
And how can i believe in such a worth
when all i have is trapped in my dirty memory tank.

Dirty from misuse
warped from abuse
tied off
looking for the sweet spot
relief is just a squeeze away

steady..
steady..

one more ride.
who makes rules
and can i get $20 worth???

The Eyeball Muse

Eyeball Muse ever watching us fumble towards nothing! Don’t watch me as i again fumble towards nothing

Seems i’ll only do it again.

I didn’t sign up for this war

but i’ll keep fighting your war

without equality

without real freedom

in the dark places you don’t let your children play

but i am forced to live,

without support

or good doctors

enough money to pay my bills or food for my children.

what you lack in meeting my needs you make up with drugs

pills

booze

plaster my mind with limitless cool alcohol ads on TV

that make me look cool when i get fucked up.

Feed my need for escape with politically bourn drugs

and lies

and taxes

Tell me how you’re there for me and mine

it’s isn’t my war, but i am fighting

just to stay a few steps ahead of the axe.

Keep whispering in my ear that i am good enough

as you slip it in from behind again…..

It stopped hurting years ago.

Skin


Skin, peel is all back and what do you have?  Reaching out
out to no one.
late at night seems
the best time to be vulnerable.

No one to see the cosmic rejection
to laugh
there will be no gossiping in my head
while my sheets
are drenched with my oneness.

Caffeine and Nicotine are my comforters
words fumbling, meanings lost
almost all the same
only the names are changed.

I resign to the alarm clock
who’s warning signals the start or
end of another day.
who’s really counting though

I pull the blankets around me to ward off
the inevitable
somewhere in my neither sleep i call her name
and she speaks to me.
warm and promising.

in fever pitch i hold her
squeezing her tight against me
my words flowing to her
she hears my confession
but i am again fooled.

I arise to the dank reality
of my alarm clock once more
and darkened by the reality
that no matter how tight i hold her
my bedding will never reciprocate.

China Closet


In the China Closet   Just one more time…….
I swear.

Fumbling for the works
excitement builds
my stomach is starting to feel better
I haven’t got any money,
haven’t eaten in days,
but right now i don’t care.

cotton, need a cotton
I am ready to take this ride.
Ecstasy races as i take it all home
the little voice deep inside asks me why,
fuck you i mutter
as my nourishment begins to do it’s job.

warmth and chemical peace invade me
it really isn’t as bad as it seems
i whisper to my little voice,
tomorrow it’ll be different,
i will stop tomorrow.

I swear

Too many yesterdays and only one tomorrow,
I haven’t seen tommorw so far,
but i only care when i am sick.

right now my little voice
isn’t talking to me.
so i light my last cigarette,
and get my works out.

I’m not gonna think about it right now
tomorrow will be different
just one more time
i will stop tomorrow………………….

I swear

Fast Forward To Nowhere

Fast Forward to Nowhere, hard grip and here we go!  Fast forward to nowhere

No one really knows who I am
most times i try not to care,
except late at night or after i catch a glimpse
of a fleeting moment from my past.

Fast forward to nowhere

Wake me up when we get there
I don’t want to spend too much time
in any one place,
I may get used to it,
and leaving is always harder.

Fast forward to nowhere

I don’t want to see another face smiling at me
it’s too hard to trust a stranger.
The sagging feeling that keeps me
going is all i really need.

Don’t tell me how you feel
if you knew how i felt you wouldn’t
talk to me anyhow.
Can’t we just use each other
to get what we need then go to sleep?

Fast forward to nowhere

what you see isn’t always
what you get,
and who you know don’t mean shit
at 4 O’Clock in the morning
when there’s a time bomb ticking in your head.

I’ll take the low road
if you’ll just forget the rest,
everybody’s got to be somewhere,
so i’ll be moving on..

Fast forward to nowhere
