Televised weekly.

October 5, 2007 at 6:46 am (Poetry) (, , )

Can I
Can we
Can I turn the wind, so your hair flows back over your memories,
As I watch them through the tv, as you televise the evening.
Can I live in a sitcom?
Our routines, comical in nature, mapped out ahead of time itself.
Every improvisation cut from perfection.
Every reel fine tuned, to cover up the mistakes.
Surely I would goof a line, just to have another take with you.
Would you do the same?
The directors are watching.
They are waiting on their cues, from the black box,
That only says one thing, whenever a road block is hit.
“Applause”, for we messed up, and said something humorous
In character.

During break, we go back to our trailers,
Sitting under the dozen or so light bulbs, placed
Right over our reflections, walking forward through it.
Shall we see them on the other-side?
Breaks over, and this scene we are in, displays us
Giving each other, a show of affection.
The camera centers on me, under the covers on the right side of the bed,
(audience facing us)
And you climbing over on top of me, from the left
(audience facing us)
It zooms on our faces, as I apologize for something I did wrong
(yet again)
Evidently honesty is your biggest turn-on
The camera zooms out a bit, as you mention something about,
Forgiveness and making some remark, about it turning you on
The remark about it turning you on, causes the lights to leave
And here we are again, at commercial break.
End credits after thirty minutes, every Sunday, right before desperate housewives
We sleep.
Seasons change, and ratings decline.
End of the series…

Are we finally going Indie?

“Tomorrow Never Dies”…

September 28, 2007 at 3:11 am (Uncategorized)

One moment at a time
Open door, close door
welcome in the night refrain
windows eclypse the drops, as fragmentations beat
the rain
the rain
Sunrise, solar winds, push gale force never-thought-fleeting moments
running towards, welcoming arms again
Practice makes perfect,
“Dust yourself off, and try again”
Sooner or later, you glide right in, with folded hands
no prayer found paging your names to the heavens
Breathless, as the best kiss,
blown by the knowledge that you will just leave again

Day undresses for us, another tomorrow.

September 25, 2007 at 7:07 am (Poetry)

Round robbin
Round robbin
ducks the goose, little nancy, perches from her branch
over the crystal lake, frozen in
winter stasis, chronological to last Sundays in the year

Winter sweater pulled tight over, the end of the day,
eve put on some new clothes, before the next year came

Dancing before sunset, under snowflakes,
we revolved around the angels, before they were covered by the storm

Danced under rain,
icicles,
the falling of leaves, (autumn was great for us)
the rays of the sun warmed our skin, as we danced
without suntan lotion, burning our chrysalides,  as we tangoed in the shade
the shade, our protection from inclement and harsh environments

Tomorrow undressed the sun, and watched it change into the moon

We watched moon, undress each other, as we changed into the sun.

Yet I did not know.

September 22, 2007 at 5:23 pm (Poetry)

Yet I did not know.
The cherry blossom, alive falling from the branch,
into your palm; it rested for an eternity, until it died.

Yet I did not know?
Tomorrow was evident in pupil’s.
Romanticizing of ever after, forward kinetic thought,
our linguistics fragmented our destinies; as if
Babylon was our bed.

Yet I did not know…
How was it that the rain fell without splashing
in the hand of the cloud; yours was beating silent thunder.
The lightning redirected the wind; easterly towards the sunrise,
west towards the noon day.

Yet know I did…
The last page I read, hoping to rewrite the chapter…

Black vs White? Rumble in the Crayon box!

September 20, 2007 at 10:19 pm (Life "Progression")

Time, time, and time again, I find myself looking through a history book, and then turning on the tv, to find that I’m actually looking at the same page I just read; only in motion. Sad state of events going on in Jena, Louisiana. Pent up frustration, turned to racially spurned judicial debauchery, to an after orgy of segregation, and the march towards a morning after pill. Such deep routed hatred towards a state of affairs, draws media grubbing whores to the scene, like moths to a flame. Such a shame, that the moths are usually the viewers.

I’ll be the first to admit that I just ran with hyperbole, breaking through the hydro-gating fuels, locked in by past experiences, in America’s deep south. I had to dig down to find out the true story, and, its even more screwed up than the media coverage. For a quick second, rationality escaped my head, and I thought that they were marching for the freedom of a bunch of juveniles. Some of them are, but, black isn’t representing the imprisonment of someone who broke the law. Black, is being worn, as a beacon to show how utterly screwed up the state of race is in this country. Will this work…well, time will tell. I’ll just say this, “I would love to be proven wrong.” heh

The boys were thrown to the wolves, and treated a bit harshly. I’m not the biggest fan of approaching things violently, and I utterly despise pussies who jump people. They deserve to be in prison, and so do the list of people that caused the whole incident. Granted Louisiana law seems to be a bit different than things here, and some of them couldn’t be charged, on a technicality—no law for something that is considered a hate crime elsewhere—…I really do think that at the very least, the shotgun toting badass, needs to get his ass locked in the state penn. If you or me, would walk up to someone and yell, “LOL Shotgun owns you!” like this was counter strike, or some shit, we would be hung out to dry. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.

I would be hopelessly floating in a bath of my own ignorance, if I were to think that race would slowly drip down the clogged drain, as I dried myself off with my own little utopia. Its never going to happen until we close our eyes, and never wake up again. I hope that one day, its hold on people will slowly lessen, and racism won’t be as strong as it once now. Right now Jim Crow is laughing in his casket, at both sides’ extremes. A man can dream though, no?

Check-mate slowly

September 19, 2007 at 7:02 pm (Poetry)

One chess piece forward
The pawn skips ahead two seconds
your turn
The clock is pressed

One rook moves forward, about five seconds
hand still on the piece,
to decide to place at moment,
or,
traverse back to start
do it all again
Hands lay
your turn
The clock is pressed

The queen moves forward to the edge of time
a pawn falls for her
she exchanges words with the king
A bishop declares their unity
entrapment
The king falls
A new game
The clock is pressed.

Do clothes not make the man?

September 17, 2007 at 7:39 pm (Life "Progression")

Looky here fellas. Us men, need to stick together! We shall not circum, to wearing scarves that match our shoes, and jeans that match our jackets, hairstyles, and “colours” of our shirts! No sir! As men, we shall continue to look like men, and not care about our appearances, because real men, don’t spend more than a single minute, looking in the mirror in the bathroom. So, while you have fake boys, running around playing dress-up, we will be the ones running America, and the rest of the world, in a timely fashion! Right! Right? Am I right….No.

Gender roles be damned. I like looking nice. I always have, and I always will. I couldn’t give a darn about spending more time in the mirror than most females do, because, I like looking, smelling, and tasting (yes sir/mam, I did just say that) nice. There is nothing wrong with it. I match more colors than kindergarteners during tests, and I keep my shoes cleaner than workers at car washes. My worst enemy is food, and dirt, and my arch rival is the girl who thinks she is sexier than any man, women, or child on Earth. I’ll go to the mall and spend umpteen hours, just perusing the store, leave, come back, and then buy like one thing. I’ll walk out of the mall with bags of random shit, because I care so much about my appearance, that I have to shame every female walking out of Macy’s with the sheer amount of superficial crap, I can carry without my carpal tunnel yelling, “fuck you”, as dollars signs fly out of my last paycheck, towards freedom of having frequent flyer miles in hands; credit cards be damned.

I’m a product of the deterioration and rewriting of manliness, and, a victim of feministic genetic narcissism, hard coded in my DNA. I blame the drug usage of the years during, and before the eighties. I’m about two seconds away from buying a purse, that I thought looked cute on some Asian lady I saw walking in the mall. I have a bracelets, and I’m about to buy more items that would have me pinned as being gay, and I honestly couldn’t give a damn if people cared for my new taste in fashion or not. That in itself is a lie though, because I wouldn’t be caught dead in a skirt, even if I thought I could pull it off.

I know that the few people reading this are probably thinking, “well damn. He’s a chick!”, or “he’s just like every other young person wasting money on superficial crap!” I’ll be sure to let you know how it feels to be on a period. I’ll call it, “That time of the month, from the eyes of a man once.” Really though maybe a bit of both, to be honest. I rarely shop, but, when I do, everything has to be perfect. I guess that stems from some emotional trauma I received from school, but, heh. That’s how I am. Funny thing that is though. Seeing man dress, become a bit more than what it once was. Times changing, or, Men wisening up to the faux rules of design, enforced by fashion police.

I’ll be sure to give up my man card, on the way out. *wink*

Getting off my ass to get things done.

September 17, 2007 at 3:13 am (Life "Progression")

You know. I once looked at the moon, hoping to catch a falling star, and hoping that my wish would come true. Then I realized that those stars, were often times satellites, and that I wasn’t really sure what an actual falling star looked like. That all of the hopes I threw up to the skies, were actually prayers tossed into the heavens, and then beamed back down to my television set, in the form of Dragon Ball Z, Batman, and Swat Kats. Sooner after that, I slowly began to forget what prayers were, and folded hands became some sort of ritual into acceptance.  After I broke that practice, I began to long for some sense of recognition in being a being, in the grand scheme of things. Of course, learning never ceases, and I began to understand that I wasn’t required to be here, amongst anyone. All of my studies with destiny, and fascination with her husband, whom sits at the end of the timeline waiting to set the final date in history, and publish the book nobody shall ever read, proved to be full of inaccuracies and blurred perception. My mind was as chaotic and ridiculously paced as that last sentence.

After a bit of time, questions became answered questions, that weren’t really answers to anything; just statements said with a tone of intrigue, and a question mark on the end. Funny thing though. Even though I have a broken compass and no northern star…I realized that I could in fact, get off of my ass, and follow the jaguar on the trees, to get to the center of the forest. That I could in fact, climb that tree sticking up through the sun. That I could in fact, make an effort to jump onto the jaguar’s back, as it flies off into the sunset, like some sort of out of place character based in a twisted reality; conjured up by someone’s quick glances in a history book, as he writes the storyline to his overly complicated mess of an anime. And as we glide through the turning night, I would jump off onto the highway, and land right next to the police officer with the radar gun; clocked in at a 10.0 landing, at 75 miles per hour. Right as the cop walks towards me with his pen and pad, and right before he asks for my license and registration, I would run off with his flashlight, as his gun lit up the night sky. He would lose me in the fog. I would lose me in the fog. I would lose we in the fog, but, my questions would have then been answered.

I really need to get off the computer, and find that damned jaguar…

My daily motion; wake up prologue for tomorrow.

September 15, 2007 at 9:59 pm (Poetry)

This is something I’m going to recite from now on, when I wake up in the morning. Motivation of sorts. I might even record it, and listen to it at some point in time.

In the vision of clouds, I break the sound barrier speeding,
to myself as I listen to the site of studies.
Not understanding the middle ground, or the life above me.
And times were plenty hard, enough to sink titanic,
but icebergs I burned through with a string of life-line;
almost flat, night time almost blackened me out,
on the daily as stars fell,
as satellites I watched the world from dark matter…
Heart shattered expansion, my energy tanked lower,
production of tomorrow seemed almost bleak, but…

I realized that without a clear guide, my compass pointed
to some blurred out secret. Halfway to photographic memory,
the inverse of a younger child colored small parts of the grey scale
I used to weigh my extremes.
My dreams were nothing but imagination, until I figured out
enough is enough.

Now, I see myself as the diamond that shines from
the neck of the actress whose legacy is cemented in history;
until earthquake breaks us apart. No scratch or turn of the recorded
passages of my aforementioned history, can dent my tune.
I’m the rainy day in the summer of June’s heat wave.
The September of leading to light brown, and cool strolls
through the woods.
I’m the eye drop that breaks the hour glass, in lew of the cyclops
The rolling of thunder that sees a storm ahead of the weatherman,
in broad day with rainbows announcing its passage.
I’m the stare between lovers, as they burn their favorite romance novels
in the fireplace, to keep each other warm.
I’m the dynasty with the ring, and yes, I’m going to disney land next.
I’m the black powder that powers the gun,
the exchange between hammer and press,
the newspaper boy that yells victory is won.
I’m the realization that change doesn’t need to come from
working nine to five, on the basis that happiness has to come from
stressed out schedule.
I’m the growth from a child to man,
the understanding that I’m not confounded by destiny,
and bonded to some shitty hand I’ve been dealt with.
I’m the past in the present,
the future unseen, but read from today.
I’m the green house gas that powers my own stove,
and the igniter is nothing but the rose petal
I held in my hand; withering away as I began to type this.

The battlefields need to shut-up.

September 15, 2007 at 3:26 am (Poetry)

Listen
Listen
listen
give yourself a moment of silence
the words collide with
tranquility
the mind’s design is, refreshing
the page, source of situations read
with binary afflictions
A discalcua effect,
on lips transpired,
ready to expire off of the collective desires
of syllables uttered without hesitation
a thought lasting seconds chance
the reckless hands in angered,
D.U.I the influence of silence in state
Cannibalizing the trumpet blower in the front lines,
unarmed as a front runner
for the general purpose of perpetuating
the idiotic two sided stance, taking turns,
taking turns taking shots
shots taking turns for taking turns
the shooter shot for taking turns, instead of taking out
the heart of the thought
retaliation with no battle plan…
aligned on axis within, detoxing off of the idea you shutting up…
I’m sick of this war, I’m about to go plan my escape
Awol into the console I power on first
My spaceship
