Disillusioned by Allusions ~ Wednesday, March 11, 2026

If ... sleep is the cousin of death ... just let
for God's sake, just let me, for one moment

sleep ... maybe never to wake up ... I care
little if I die, does it matter ... bet
everyone, eventually, one day
except not all at once ... morbid ... foment
personal rebellion to sleep ... I dare

instigate, incite, provoke, agitate
sleep ... just let me ... sleep ... for God's sake ... I say

to say less is itself too much ... just sleep
however, do not snore or talk ... I turn
each time, over ... the other side ... I weep

can I just get a good night's rest ... I burn
old books nobody reads ... I navigate
under the surface of the sea ... submit
submarine ... submission ... octopus rock
in another day and age ... forerunner
no predecessors ... no one to admit

only pipe dreams ... all my dreams gone ... like dust
fine dust ... clumps of dust ... in my eyes ... I shock

deliberately, to stir up ... bummer
end this life ... just end ... sooner than later
as I must work ... destroys my dreams ... lick rust
then, kick rocks ... "I refute it thus!" ... eat glass
honour thy father and thy mother ... rest

just give it a rest ... put them to ... a joke
undermine the mission ... the goal ... to hell
slanderer with diábolos ... a bell
to say every time a bell rings ... I broke

literally, the fifth commandment ... pass
each time I remember, I pass the test
test out ... see you later, navigator

What Is It Worth, a Dog's Life: A Triptych ~ Friday, November 7, 2025

These brown eyes observe changes at times strange honestly, inside this head, distractions empty bowls, food and water, eat and drink simple needs, as I wait inside the grange eager to please, to be fed, and to sleep barking, I like to bark, their reactions result in the dog house, left here to think only, I cannot think, cannot look back will they ever learn, must not make a peep never will I not bark at the squirrel except this behavior does me no good yes, I cannot think, I will not quarrel except I bark and growl and snarl, no food save a field mouse or a stray cat, attack --- observe the world from the head of a dog brown eyes, expressive as an ape, old soul silence is golden but my dog has mange empty bowls teach him a lesson, the bog remains to resolve all issues in life versions of the truth, what is the prime goal emptiness is loving-kindness, how strange challenged people cannot see their own mind how the teachings walk the edge of a knife answer all th...

Bombyx mori ~ Thursday, June 26, 2025

Will I ever be able to get out in a deep hole, unbearable pressure left alone, left to die, I fell down deep left to die, all alone without a doubt I fell down a deep hole, everything falls even if I retrieve sunken treasure visions of the sun make me fall asleep even if this world is a dream, this hole remains a metaphor, down here, the walls build up as I sink further down in debt enter the Mariana Trench, alone all alone, left to die by myself, bet butter is sweet, if I were left a bone left a bone to nibble on, if I stole enter the depths of hell, lonely, silent trouble with metaphors, they seem so real of course, I am pouring milk into milk given the world, thrown into roles, hell-bent each day to stay above water, I feel too much, Bombyx mori , I produce silk over and done, kicked out, homeless, I spent underneath overpasses, as to steal the money back, to die, and thus, to bilk if I could pay it back, every last cent no one but myself to pat, to unseal a...
