the red string

July 23, 2004

a red string
the wind blows
you go away
and I feel the tug
it flows
between our feet
up our calves
our thighs
crotch,
abdominals
and into my heart.
stringed through it
and tied with laces
like me
peering through the hole of the eye of a needle
looking for another in another reality.
we are linked
like homecoming pigeons
seeking a destination
their feet
bound together
so they can never be
grounded in mid-flight
like a [...]

Bus Ride – unfinished

July 23, 2004

Our close proximity distances us further
we sit swaying side to side
looking out instead of at each other
blankly in front
vague glass panels are all we dare to
reflect each other by.
its amazing how many flaws they dispense with
leaving only shadowed sketches
we communicate through
our personalized ring tones
obscurely cool, calm
we reach out collectively
collecting sms-es
thumbing through our new form of [...]

Last Parade

Last Parade
So let’s pretend
we are camouflaged action superheroes.
Their ample annual coverage
an advertisement for chiseled cheekbones
stony stares
same-styled bristled buzzcuts
body squared to the front

Plastic legs shoulder width apart.
A public display of their self assured, sizable manhood
Customer satisfaction guaranteed.
So we pretend
Her blanketed night sky is concealing
expressions of non expression.
Tensingly untensed facial muscles.
She aids us [...]

Like a cicada trapped within a fan

July 2, 2004

Like a cicada trapped within a fan
stupid morbid
cockroach bodied
fly headed
zoo exhibit
light chaser
don’t you ever learn?
irritating everyone
noticed by none.
kamakazi instincts only brings you closer
to the rotor blades of death
pretty fly,
how many times must your wings be clipped
before you realize escape is impossible?
and death is inevitable?
***
silenced forever
morning dewed sunray
rainbowed spectrums
refracting from those
motionless webbed wings.
sigh
if only
you had let
me [...]
