Minutes before work,
I count, stall, put it off... But,
Eh, it pays the bills.

Humanity's Roar

Humanity's roar
wakes, a mechanical whir
stirring my slumber.

Day draws to a close
Paperwork flutters behind
Forget the day's work

Drop Everything

...and listen to PSY's
"Daddy" right now. Lacks value.
Still entertaining.

Ode to the Emoticons: Just Saw my Parents Naked for the First Time

My eyes, my mind, my
body. All are frozen at
this moment, bleeding.

Charles Bukowski
Loved the dog track, and booze, and
Mostly, I think, legs.

Bukowski loved legs.
After reading, so did I.
Poetry changed me

The Quotebook

Locking memories
down, a cage of paper and
bars of ink. Wistful.

All the Same, All the Time

We are all alike
Peel back skin, undo my face
See our fragile meat

Meat that can be cooked
Meat that rots in the noon sun
Meat we asked not for

Bone below bears strength
But breaks before it would give
Unwise, not like meat

See how meat protects
Bone from its lack of wisdom
Weak though it may be

We are meat and bone
We have been this way, always
It is unchanging

So it is beneath
Our sun, and under some star's
Light still yet to come

The Days Like a Wagon Wheel Turn

My grandmother, she
Is an old, old woman now
Some may ask how old

When they ask, I say
"She was once run over by
A horse-drawn wagon"

Some don't believe me
But it knocked out her teeth, and
Pressed her in the mud

She is still going
Approaching thrice my age now
She's a tough old broad.

The Drunk Solo

I know it's a song
about drinking, but you still
should sing it sober.

Cheers

Shall we have a drink?
I'd like to make a toast, if
I may so indulge:

Here's to all my friends,
and to any good reason
To share a few drinks

Afraid of losing

Okay, so I looked up "advent calendar"...

...and it doesn't seem
to be about races. The
shopping part is, though.

Too Many

Counting the days I
missed, I find it's better to
use words: too many.

The Comeback

I will rise again
with wings forged of fire's kiss. Late
is fashionable.

The brink of letting
the day slip by without such
bliss, release...is nigh.

Last night, dirty bar
Dirty metal band playing
Dirty talk with friends

So yes, I failed
Occasionally I think
Failure is Freedom

Then I remember
"You had ONE job, man! ONE JOB!!"
Failure is Failure

;(

There are many who
think freedom means you can fail
and get up again.

But failure only
means something when some of us
can never be free.

At end of Ip Man
It says that Hirohito
Signs the surrender

Then goes on to say
Finally, the Chinese have
Beaten their great foes

Not exactly how
I remember it going
Nice narrative, guys

Procrastination:
It is a big ugly word.
Nothing like action.

Action is out there
Whereas procrastination
Still sits on the couch

The couch fits its ass
Like a trusty leather glove
That it can't throw out

It sits and scoffs, laughs
At those in action, suckers...
Not smart like myself

For why do today
What can wait until later?
If you aren't dead first.

Finals Week

It's a good excuse
to study hard and a bad

The Maine Wilderness

Fog sweeps up spirits
in the road. This seduction
leads me nowhere fast.

Home is Where I Am

The Northerners spoke
of this change. I still am one
of them, but less so.

I dedicate this one to the new installment in the Star war franchise. Here we go.

Return of dark side
The heroes awakening
return to big-screen

*Sips tea filled with gunpowder*
Good stuff
