hop on and we’re off/humbling to have
tensions expressed, axis wobble
gears translate the force yet the knees
torque, something spine twitching impulse realign repeat
90 180 rhythm of the street
wheels whir a trail of rubber we leave
curb jumping, crack swerving, a pass with death
steel and plastic flash punch tunnels predetermined
but bikes go where they please
time to strengthen improve […]

detonate apocalypse
How does it come 2gather, breath pushing
Nerves abuzz, hauled 2 the top of this hill
A heap/our fears and expectations/jumbled bones
And these masks we contort afraid 2 look self in the I
Pressing in against each other, friction 2 heat
Smoldering and the pinnacle catches a breeze
Lights ablaze, juice sucked out, dance of flame
Gravity does the rest
making love
Not fucking
Not about sticking this inside of you
To substitute these acts
To prop up and sustain notions about
Who I am, not a failing masculinity that
Needs and proves relentless unsatisfied
Rub dick raw, useless detached paradox
Simple orgasm beat off
A preoccupation with this predicated upon
The untenable and flawed nature of such an approach
Brings us back to repeat the same […]
back on my own again
Safe to say/things have changed
No one cares where I’ve been
The spiral turns/my loss
Slips out/gets tossed
And you would leave me standing here?
My worst expectation and fear
Lay me low again
Break it down again
Let’s just shatter and explode
Into nothing/Into everything
Throw chance to the wind
light as a feather
mystery recede revolve come round corner to curve melting gravity arc matter 2 energy 2 matter
inputs and outbursts, braid this fray/dig it up/cut it out
a little change won’t hurt
a little change won’t do
2 strange 2 say 2 stay 2 discover away passing through 2 morrow
hollow marrow parroting parody due borrow, beg
break a leg, drink it […]
awash in probability collapse
possibility, positive feedback
wry the worm turns snake tongues burn flicker dart
words fail, worlds recede, the tide pulls hissing sea foam
hurled ragged upon the rocky shore.
breath forced out, this gasping for air is a broken form
faint memory and scars linger
teach reach and finger
stars proceed looming quasar snap
broken cages, same old trap
scales shed iridescent
a torn hollow skin […]
your so-called civilization
Doesn’t impress me much
Mad nightmare toxic holocaust
Fostering rage and confusion
Invader power fetish, conquer control
This land soaked with blood
These streets steeped in misery
We are the left behind, the don’t fit-ins
And it’s our dreams that won’t fit
Your wage slave service economy
Seems to have leapt beyond
Reason and self-survey
How you refuse to see
The commonality, that this experience
Is a shared […]
convergence collide disrupt
Static notions bleed out
Percussive memory shift this
Ancestral longing for justice
In the market of unfulfilled needs
My children go begging, stained with grease
Subsisting on trash how it horrifies
Open eyes, festering lies are open wounds
Closed too soon, the pus pours
Fly festooned, maybe you’d rather
Ignore first ask father, hurry on
I prefer to linger, fist melt to fingers
Breath frost frozen […]
the ghosts remember
The ghosts
Remember freshly their slaughter
The empire of torture
Arrived armed on boats, iron girded
They came to take to conquer
To disrupt, break apart and destroy
They say we didn’t understand back then
How the whole world is connected
Had to turn it all to shit b4 we could see it
Maybe the natives knew
But who can understand their gibberish?
Learn to speak […]
last time
last time I saw you standing there
wanna run my fingers through your hair
last time I saw you standing there
wanna run my fingers through your hair
rain coming down
sheets all around
it was cold and wet
awash in grey
I didn’t care
I turned around
And walked away
think about it until this day
It’s the last time
Left you standing there
The last time
open mind
look at how my hands have wrought
never exactly what you thought – that’s adaptation
a certain consternation
perplexes and perplexing
impurities self reflecting
caught up, we’re all caught up
the modern madness passivity sadness
cumulative cyclical enough enough
i’ve had more than I can stand
gone beyond go between go further now
open mind
open mind

collapse to primitivism: jumping scale
Against this austere backdrop we find pockets of humanity thriving, itching and experimenting into balance. Awash in media haze it’s few who break through mental conditioning self-doubt fear and insanity to discard the tired tools of repression. Many are the casualties, incalculable the social deficit — we find ourselves between betwixt hesitating transfixed […]
stranger, prodigal son
He walks the street of another dead city. Body still ringing, charge building dissipates/slow steady pace constant, the wheels revolve rolling, devouring miles and dreams shift, illusions drift windmill tilt, tattered threads the sunshines through. Familiar recession sprawl, savage disinvestment campaign, monopoly enforced scarcity polarizes and concentrates, leaves behind cheap track housing […]
I get it baby, I’m freaked out too.
Things can’t go on like this. A reality of pain and fear, an age of crisis accumulated, product of shattered minds the fuel bodies the raw material. This flawed I know and experience. Maybe it’s small, change…insignificant parts encompassed. But we all ride time through space and in reviewing the legacy […]
