  trusting the lawyer

  Paradise, Taken by criteria- Performative and mutilated: Pure context.  Cadaver fashion classifies  Death  As Reward  And Life  As Rot.  Hindsight sequencing  Disturbs linear allegiance. “Mantra” “Ponderance” (mantra) (ponderance) ////////////////// Conscious plays  Truncate a blank stare, Doing so during  Menial tasks Like a vacuum running idle, Zoning out in mediation  As its motor drones in harmony  […]

  Birth guarantees the cost of living unto an infant, maturity a market value made for the executioner’s price. Tax dollars absolve the bill for a beheading. Again. An executioner’s wage! Which appointed authority inked a receipt for death? How were the expenses calculated? * Art contributes to executions, but lacks the finesse afflicting capital punishment.  […]

  fancy ashes

  A bull-hauler in transit, glutted with bovine, Incentives last seconds of life, But in the cold Awaiting slaughter…what dreams  May become?  Sighs made visual   From the cattle’s nostrils  Escape through air-holes, Strike! A neighboring windshield And challenge exhaust fumes For space. Gale forces beckon  An abandoned mattress  Crowded with Twix wrappers, Flayed like open wounds, […]

  Noises Like Shadows

  Adjustments in posture retain conversation, Abbreviations assemble among pouting lips. Cardboard expressions set an ocular presentation.  Afternoon breaks and the painter motions bristles to color quips. In the sawdust. In the sawdust sculptors presume form. An empty hallway stages the door swing, forehead forward marks wrinkles; While  laugh-lines rise like puppet-strings. COMPLIMENTS!  Mouse holes for […]

  Last Person to Know Her Name

  1. A stranger in a blue wig rolled on the floor, Her eyes rolled too  Until sclera hues matched wall paint  Matched Styrofoam. Loose change  Founds its marks along the carpet.  Police entered and embedded dead Presidents In the fabric.  “What’s her name?” Reasons to name corpses. Soft kicks to hips. Officer knelt for prayer  […]

  I Went to an Interview and all I got was this stupid Job.

  Personhood requires a self assessment, where one takes inventory of the habits and traits which define their character and contrasts them against the actions they’ve performed, analyzing if they intersect, or precede in parallel destinies.  Without this subjective judgement, one would be rendered blank and become vulnerable to a society which defines existence via plain […]

  Choose to Win

  A duck died, his body floated throughout the pond-water and on occasion collided with shoreline, but always returned back to drifting. When winter turned the water to ice, he was frozen from the neck down. At night, approaching headlights struck his dead eyes and they lit up like stars. During sunny days, his profile functioned […]

  …forgot to close the door

  “Don’t make this fake, Last second of life”-Sparta Goons are sacrificed, due diligence to spaces exposing bleed letting, Mirrors stationed as substitutes for ceiling tiles, documentation held to its occurrence, (the Devil is in the details). Fresh Proposal suggests Age defined by the length a person travels. Stay-put civilians would grope the inches at 200 […]

  Death to the Cash Cow

  Crucifix secured to string, dangled from Aseop’s neck, removed and left on his end table, next to his rocking chair and settling in to teeter, he placed a cold soda inside the string spiral. Aluminum can adjusted to different temperatures, perspired and left a ring of moisture behind as Aseop lifted the soda, took a […]
