Minab (ميناب) ~ Friday, March 6, 2026

Nobel Peace Prize Winner / War Criminal With the memory of an elephant in an instant, I connect all the dots this universe, from beginning to end how awareness helps me to understand that decisions decide how an event how a catastrophe takes place, the thoughts empty-headed fools rush to comprehend miniscule amounts of the big picture empty-handed, nothing to offer, spent money, savings, equity, the whole lot objectivity, hard to find, to learn remember the past since the first onslaught yesterday, they killed my family, they earn only a pittance, if they read scripture foreign to illiterate fools, a book archaic, ancient tongues spoken, translate needlessly for empty-hearted spokesmen energetic thugs, endgame, king and rook leave it to the billionaires not to care elegant in their finery, too late phonies surround the graveyard, born-again horny goat weed tea drinkers, tusks in hand as if I could change the past, would I dare nothing but consequences, watch an a...

Full Moon Corona ~ Tuesday, March 3, 2026

Full Moon Corona From the gut, visceral, to expel from the bowels, the illness, the sickness unwittingly, people enjoy to share their pain and trauma with others lift my body with wings, wishful thinking, angel flies too close to the sun let me down easy, please, God bless you, if I sneeze, no sniffles, no weakness Mom plans to die, a trip to Cali, Little Bird, no fun to say goodbye over the moon with joy, I cannot remember the last time, she gathers old threads of pretty yarn, my girlfriend will not come, my brother is no fun no fun to be alone on a two-day train ride to say goodbye for good Cut the silver lining from around the dark clouds to weave into the sky objectively, my bad, accountability, so sad about the end remember the last time, I ran the marathon, Surf City, my hometown obsessive compulsive, losing my train of thought, Amtrak around the bend no fun to be alone, to travel the country, would I not rather drown ask me what I would miss, running until I die, t...

Language Reflects the Mind of the Speaker ~ Tuesday, March 3, 2026

Of course, I met the professor at work homeless, a former long-distance runner honor the doctor of philosophy except when he says too much, a dumb jerk yes, I reflect the mirror of language Monster beats drop from a former drummer absurd to observe karma, a trophy triumphantly displayed, grown child award try untoward, no shortage of garbage honor not intellectual rubbish only the mirror rears its ugly head why could I not see this coming, sluggish as a sloth, wishfully just as cute, dead ringer for a t-shirt, baseball scoreboard except to share too much information yet be absolutely clueless, speaker oh, hey Matt, how are you doing today understand all this, above my station deny the rubbish as my own, I groan only to witness my bad faith, weaker intellectual reflections decay not from brilliance but from opacity given language is the key, as a bone to pick a lock, the door opens, to talk or not to talk, as to communicate debate the meaning of life, take a wal...

Handkerchief Blues ~ Saturday, February 28, 2026

Handsome Demons Play Live on Tour How to learn to say goodbye and grieve loss after all that was said and done, the fun never needed to disappear, so sad despite suffering, no one gives a toss sorrow builds, to ignore the grief process obviously, to return to the sun move on, again and again, say my bad enough times to lose the meaning once felt Difficult to say, neglect an abscess enough times for trauma to multiply manifold to remove a jaw, neglect objective reality to apply nervously for Medicaid to detect syndromes manifest, blows below the belt Pretend nothing happened, fall to the ground laugh until overwhelmed by the pain, grimace angry, bargain with the devil, pass out yet, rise again to fight the demons found Lingering in denial and depression insolent, having to accept, to face virtual loss, the band, without a doubt enjoys the aggression, the audience on drugs, drunk, minds altered, a confession nobody, Isaiah, knows your sorrow Tragic how suicide de...

News Flash ~ Thursday, February 26, 2026

Forget-me-nots on the ears of a mouse lift up to hear a woman in death throes at the end of her rope as she commits suicide by hanging in her own house hold her lightly as she gave up the ghost Lift up her corpse in a box, so it goes anger, denial, stages, read the obits death notices, bargaining, depression yet, acceptance rarely comes to play host Elective affinities, reactions lift up spirits, glasses raised in a toast exit this world, beautiful distractions commit this life to cooking a pot roast tough to remember, my first impression Concentrate on sitting meditation on breathing, she took away from herself maybe this life is a game of marbles maybe this life is rigged, dedication insists on discipline, daily routine tragedy and trauma, on the bookshelf silent, quiet as a mouse, sound garbles Silence devours the impermanent soul understanding nothing, offer my spleen indifferent to consequences or pain cover her body with a shroud and pray ignorant of the truth, nothing to gain de...

La Petite Danseuse ~ Thursday, February 26, 2026

Landed the role as a singer to play underpaid server in a greasy spoon casting was too easy, a single part kiss the owner and make her cry, sashay your hips in the kitchen, a bear chases guided by GPS, then a baboon underneath the floorboards emerges, start your engines, the racetrack across the street you know giant penis syndrome races every new car on the lot with stick shift answer questions, the special of the day how should you know, ask Montgomery Clift nothing but the right profile, as they say only you are a star, with the card cheat taking your tips, what do you care, the role works out perfectly for wages, stages appear ordinary, a real diner visions of the big lights, life on the dole in London, not much fun, but on the strip not Hollywood but Las Vegas, wages grind gamblers into bits, nothing finer bits and pieces, what happens in Vegas understood, the rumor mill, get a grip telephone operator places calls despite smart phones, what with the hotel ...

In Their Defense ~ Wednesday, February 25, 2026

About my family, what I could not tell you takes place behind closed doors behind the sheer curtains, the facade, the veneer, the appearance, the cult of personality, as denial embraces dysfunction as untrue underneath this disguise of normalcy, all good, is what nature abhors the void that is devoid of matter, what matters, emptiness, a vacuum maybe I imagine, she says, I think too much, is it really my fault yes, that is what she said, accountability, in a word, the sky blue feelings and emotions overwhelm my body, I cannot understand arguments that arise, ego gets in the way, just to stay in my room maybe if I were good, I could have been better, not acting out a role impossible, I know, they hold me to account, all my fault, I was bad little bird, the black sheep, as the prodigal son, I was out of control yes, it was all my fault, they would have been normal, whatever that means, sad welcome to my old age, mom says she is dying, how things get out of hand how differen...
