Whiter upon the mirror face,
While rubbed upon, bitter taste,
Why, are you so irritated?
You will never see them as I see them,
Dull, sullen and grey.

Wool, spun into braid.
What else should I say?
I envy everything you have,
Even if you gave it away.

Writer, upon feeling erase,
Like graphite filled veins,
I have everything to give,
And I can give it away.

White, upon the fearing caste,
While rubbed upon, bitter taste,
Why? The fear of being placated,
Like rubber farms treat waste.

Spittle, gnash and remorse, 
Little passion for chords, 
Online sporadic posts, 
Of course, dog bites come,
And I beg them for more.

I did, did I?
No, it is opposition,
Competition that wishes to destroy,
And if it does so be it,
I'm willing to play the foil.

Distinctions and awards,
Suspicion of words,
Position as hero:
Division on discord.

I did, did I?
I guess you would know,
My life, and palindrome.

Where did the first seed grow?
Plus, who owns it?
Monsanto needs to know... for the lawsuit, 
Above the Earth, also below,
Orchards grow.

What you reap is what you sow, 
But, who owns it?
You, or someone you don't know?
Whose wish is to have your wish,
And everything else you covet.

Orchard, apples never fall far from,
So, they know where to find you,
And everything else you love...

Orchard, to the Italian restaurant
Sold to you at whatever cost, 
Like internet does to things you love,
Nostalgia wears off like a bitter rust.

Orchard, what have we done?
Orchard, where have you gone?
Orchards, and we moved on,
Into the distance, back to god.

What you reap is what you sow,
But, who owns it? 
Like Cleopatra said to Rome:
Above the Earth, so below.
Above them both, Orchards grow.

Little bug:
Little pigs, Little frogs, Little slug.
Finger work beneath civil tongue:
Fish supper, friction with drums.

A little brother, too big for hugs,
A little bit of dust, bits of rough:
Personality, but's and cynical plots,
Digital work beneath a given tongue.

What would you say to me honestly?
That you wish I was crushed?
Well, I'm not.
I lived never thinking of you much.

Where is your response?
Little love for little bugs, 
Simple things, inner calm, bigger cause...
More concern for grudges,
Than writing another song.

Give a little time, you give it up...
A little pain, a little age, little fun:
Singing about doors that are shut,
Invisible cuts that the makeup covers,
For a while, until the stage goes dark,
Then begins your performance,
Entertainment to little bugs.

Full and clear:
What should I have been?
I hear the rage of a starter pistol.

Good acting, Looksmaxxing, 
Should practice. Looking back
I just didn't have it in me.

Full and clear, 
What should I have done?
I fear the stage of starting interest.

Good learner, misunderstood, 
Bits of salmon under lemon curd,
A bit too sweet to handle her.

Full and clear, I could have been, 
And still could be, still could live,
But I hear you far surpassed me,
Too good for coming last place.

Rather, you practice trot and gate,
Failing that you simply walk away,
Down the hill, then left on blake.

Round mouth shouts,
War cry, smoke to sky,
Really? I'm quite surprised,
You changed with the times,
Now, you find the fight?

You are cold, white, 
Like an old jazz style, 
How do you stay warm at night?

I am bound down: stakes, ropes, ties...
Beneath the giant lies. 
A man with giant lies about him,
A giant in a human size.

I am found down, shivering upon the tiles,
Beneath the skin a person lies,
A man with giant lies about him,
As a spider consumes the flies,
Pious continual, polite about it.

Does that make it right?
Well, let me fly around a bit,
And with delight I get to live again.

Give no lead, monster,
It's a leash that draws me to you, 
Not drives me onward.

Furtive, so be honest,
What brought summer to autumn?
You have no real problems,
Dollars, and little conscience.
So, be honest, give no heed,
What is it, that changed your august,
To a bitter, doubting Thomas?
What is it that makes the sun set?

Am I a zero, or a one to them?
When the computer sees me,
What does it feel? Overwhelmed?
Breath short of air?

Alas, keyboard, come to rest,
Like Gabrielle says to Rodrigo,
I need a bit, this is done to death,
Everything deserves an end.

Dismantle the economic system,
The high hat rings in the distance,
Cocaine, racism and molestation,
Hit that high hat, bitch,
Like you hit children,
Like you hit women,
Pipes and pitches.

Your last visit, I extinguished,
Languished. Burns still existed,
So did the fighting and killing,
But this time I resisted.

It's in the difference, 
Flams and rolls,
I got what I want, I'm gonna go...

Its in the doorways,
You shout insults,
You got it bud, you gotta go...

It's in the drunkenness,
You find me boring,
Tell me I'm the wall,
Leave me, sad emoji.

It's for the best, beggars low,
The wall stands tall,
In the end I need nothing more.

Thorough I write my kinship,
Kingship, flagship furlough,
Turmoil, searching for more.

Is it just lies, unknowns?
You seem to say so...
Though, you write by wishing,
Never anarchy and addiction,
The things that you know.

One more pint, by instinct,
Stitches, side bitches,
dislikes, sometimes singing.

Is it just lies, unknowns?
You seem to say so, 
Though, you live by it,
Unlike any lyrics you wrote.

Blonde moribund wonders in awe,
Are you not overcome with thoughts?
Dark corners of the mind overrun,
What is more wholesome, bit parts,
Or the dishcloth wrung out?

Mob, tortoiseshell guitar, 
Small, popular orchestra.
Long, golden, charmed,
Large parts of the audience hate who you are,
Hate your politics and hate your forms.

Meet under the golden arches,
Maybe as you see the darkness, 
You'll see nobody around and see you're wrong.
Where were your brothers while you were gone?

I guess to a sorcerer, blonde, it matters not,
People treated like common wristwatches,
Only useful to you when you wind them up.

Dramatically, he captures folk,
What does it mean? Who knows?
More grenadine with alchohol,
Sweetness in a leather coat, 
Bitterness in a paper cup.

Where does the red end?
Bench press, breath test,
Desk chair, ceiling fan:
You hope to get to live again.
Jump rope, feeling breasts,
Best friends, sleeping bags.

Then into the night, like assent...
That's a life you never lived.

Town by town, you lay a brick,
Build a house, inhale a bit. 
Where, from does cedar sprout?
Far away from shit like this.
How are you about playing music?

Cedar necks, hands tight around,
Beating skin, women. Beans again,
Upon a page then: demons, hell.

What is a stranger, to a friend?
Follower, liar, charlatan,
I would never knew, you were never there.

Hell is where bones conjoin.
Fell into boys, resin oil, foil...
Paranoid terror, disappointment.
What was worse, 
Your disease, or my point?

Multiple choice questions on the medical forms,
Your network connections on cellular phones.
Joint ventures, a voice credits feminine for,
But between the temples the evidence shows.

Goodbye are the days,
Yellow presence,
White, like breast or loin,
and yet, still like poinsettia,
Red on the inside.

Compare your sickness to mine,
Hell is where bones conjoin,
There to which the feathers fall,
Quality of life destroyed,
Vaporizer oil, foil, credit card,
Paranoid terror, disappointment.

The spider bites with sting of poison,
Whether on the page or from an arm.

Red, rabbit owner.
Filler of the holes, 
Horror, else.

Where do rabbits run?
Back to holes themselves...

Answers of importance
Over Hammond organs, 
Hare, over tortoise. 

Whether or not, 
She understood my poems.
Every time the rabbit runs, 
It ends between cardinal shoulders.

Blue, vampire bat,
I feel like that at times,
Lies about my fangs,
Silver metallic,
Azul and cyan,
Tired, of sky high tricks.

I guess that's why I am,
Grown men cry, surely,
But then grown men die,
Weapons about their side.

Head held high, my friend,
Surely, we will meet again,
No shame in dying to a man.

Right?
Azul and cyan,
In sake of blue, give me white.
Am I doomed, to be a beast?
Who bites?

Well, then why alongside them,
Question the carmine reds?
All I want is life, beyond that,
Perhaps azul and cyan.

If fights ensue,
It's not of me, delights, or truth,
So why stand beneath?
At least in my mind the blue is me.

What of peacocks in the spring?
What of cheese in the crumbles?
What of resolve and my shivering?
Certainly, I can feel these things.
It's not beneath me,
Like red sees croplands,
Like rubber and tarmac.

Like green sees the sea: blue. 
Ironically, foolish for free verse. 
Traverse the world, but ask me, 
Just remove lines, write peace.

Irish flute, life renews,
Fights needs two,
Then favour winning,
Like red says to greens. 

I wish inside, though, blue remains.
Enticing eyes, confusing wings,
Flying, seems a bit childish to me,
As does to peacocks in the spring.
