Depend on
undependable things 
and on anyone 
packaged in with them
comes along 
for the ride 
that takes you down 
into the lonely with. 

Hate to admit 
you do not like
any of the what 
that someone chose 
to flesh into
the cosy corners 
you tried to defend 
from hostile takeovers. 

All that ever meant 
is special dislikes 
makes for friends 
to keep distance 
comfort zoned
table arranged 
at the rub elbows 
of the don't want. 

Erogenous drugs 
jacking off places 
in mind drift
sticky banter dances
making celebration
of dead subjects 
reconfigure being 
into placeholders. 

Wanting someone 
in the usual crowds 
of the not there
takes it all down 
arranged singular 
blasts of social
dismemberments
on the mind fields. 

Chatter boxed in 
to stuffed full
with not
having any 
that really feels 
like anything 
closer than over 
a sliver of Moon.

Killed it 
before the get up 
and the after 
of parting shot 
wipe outs  
in allegations
of the valleys 
of pelvis.

Nearly met 
beloveds 
in the scatter 
heaped 
of otherness 
pointless looks
for the unreal
of a real thing. 

No one 
was the only  
truly of sincere
around about it
all takes time
to dying out
without better
sorted options. 

Cut off dead 
line thin 
shorted ropes 
of strangle projects 
at stumble start 
turned cancel 
for a laugh 
culture. 

Don't know  
in the never will 
phase outs
of anticipations
past the blocked
off tragedies 
waste of the best
of times. 

Leaves at
trying to forget
being a discard 
wrap up 
to that maximum
of get 
breaking away 
the was not yet. 

A build up 
along borders 
of silence waved 
good bye 
sampled hostilities 
all gone intent 
ways and means
differences. 

It never grew 
from stunted 
scrubbed missions
tangle of no 
body really
left at far out 
shock wave
let downs.

Thought curdling 
silent scream
spikes the dulled 
out of context  
conditions pressed 
out seedy spurt 
ejection of catch  
culture subsistence
ventures of discourage.

Eat a heart crush 
out of hollow 
candy shelled
empty run on
records of searched
for the never found
and each starburst 
along the go to
in the never reached.

Incessant climb
crashed looks
life goes for 
take out 
shaped containers 
tempted sugar 
talk sweets
grind habit sorts
of fixes. 

All the teardrops 
in the world 
cried for no one 
in me love you 
statements of mind
filled up 
salt shaker full
white scratches 
of sprinkle. 

charcoal blacked
burnt crisp suffers
deactivated down 
distillate  to isolate
might have been
raw ingredient 
failed at don't
know what ever 
of really about. 

Psychology plea 
bargain of versions
revised modern
explanations why
we don't ever
and never could 
really get that 
way out of our
owned minds.

Time ticks on 
swallowed in
the don't know 
what and to do
about and around 
wander anything  
place taken 
spin rides
in make dizzy 
take downs 
confusion clog 
of that way 
and this way
to no way at all. 

The do you in 
to the only 
do you out 
of any  possible 
choose from 
bits of cancel 
cultured options 
snap rubber 
band plays 
its dead song 
deep sting 
broken rip see
sawed remnants 
of snap soul.

Little doll 
trapped pin 
sharp pain 
of no one 
in the nowhere 
cries the lone 
stuck at no way
going forward 
or going back
at gets nothing 
but a laugh 
on the run down
run over route 
of a two way.  
 
Taking damage 
both sides 
of cannot solve
the primal 
equation variables 
ends at factored  
out of it all 
clock ticking 
the dead line 
roster drop 
beat down 
into stale dated 
trash cornered 
dream bursts. 

They exploded 
the dreamt 
welcome sorts 
of any real
and wanted 
in the ever after 
writing out
of torment scenes 
at the left to fail 
attempted gone
jump off
point blank hit
of imagine free 
at no chance.

Woman's prerogative
catch glance of say
out of flash floods 
quickened humanity 
along rush overs 
routed detour void
brush aside winged 
death angels passing 
in hush conversation 
avoidance of any
alien contact. 

Wilt into invisible 
horror of soft touch 
picked at bone 
near the poison 
watering hole 
crowd slick
in the babble same 
pull string repeat 
limits of tonal range 
tongue depressed
coin slot phrased. 

Nothing to say 
through the cracks 
between interrupts 
so hold your tongue 
and stick it in 
your own pocket  
where it can play 
a death rattle 
wondering if 
you are wanted 
poster material. 

Heartless deck 
of poker face hands
shifty eyed gleams
at the scuttlebutt 
and boast wager 
brow damp rush 
felt distant scream 
losing streak 
at the take away 
turned bum's rush 
concrete terms.

For all the world 
looking like zombies 
at amusement parks 
doing struggle bump 
food line danced
carousel stomachs
headed roller coaster
Monday mornings. 

Candy floss sticky
red white blue 
flagged affairs 
paired show offs
with sugar lips 
midway rush 
into sex gland 
scream faces. 

Carousel ponies 
up and down ride 
the circle games 
grab toss arcade 
prize catch spins 
wheels of chance
dreaming crowns 
and anchors.

Writing it out
puts the screws to it 
ratcheting down 
a squealing apparatus 
to making a mark
impression against
the soft 
spread of lies. 

The distrust 
given to a writer 
gets its word count 
allegations 
of syllabic torture 
tying it all down 
to not trusted 
with anyone.

Outrages penned
up tight states 
of vagrant mind 
failed at concentration 
lacks any popular 
subject disciplines  
got expelled 
from bar stool college. 

Seems forever 
since meeting up
with anyone pretty 
and tongue feels torn  
out of reading 
at nowhere showing 
in the loss of touch 
with any crowd.

Patterns of corporate 
send downs 
tattoo their numbers 
on a prisoner face 
marking ignore 
on the outside 
of what was in 
the month before. 
 
The church mice
have all run away 
from the black cat 
letters formed 
stain impressions 
mar pure white 
with negative image 
printing out.  

Simon once said 
nothing is wanted 
and nothing comes 
but green light 
red light 
and lets play statues 
on the lawn.
