Negative Fidelity

Negative Fidelity

She's in my heart
she's of my soul
she's in my loins
she's of my  dreams

always in
my line of sight

her body I desire
those lips I crave

flip of her hair
twirled seductively
nervous laugh
I know she wants me 

she's always on my mind
always in my dreams


steamy sensuality
real life fantasy 

she's all I need
all I ever want

if only

we weren't
so damn
married

to different
people

if only

we weren't
so damn
moral

Disco Tracks

The Age of Self


Once upon a time
70's to be precise

girls were easy
liberated sexually

guys dressed fruity
masculine ambiguity
 
coke flowed freely
disco inferno

party nation
self gratification

gave birth
to the
Me Generation

Father Out

Father Out


Daddy dear
never here

road trip
mercenary

parenting
in absentia

just a voice
on the line

Novelty fades
over time

postcards
tossed aside

Saint Mom
preached
how much
he loved us

from the
hymn book of
economic necessity

We grew up
because we had to

Moved out

and started
our own
shattered families

Daddy's
home now

Died alone

in his
hotel bed

the maid
found him dead

Gonna bury
our ghost Dad today 

along with all
his lost
yesterdays

Spirit Drain

Spirit Drain

Foul talking
rough writer
Mr Edgy

rebel
rousing
revolutionary

fire starter

dangerous
character

years pass
as they 
always do

howl now
worse than
bite

edges get
rounded over
time
 
erosion 
of the 
spirit

Predator Tech

Predator Tech



Slicing
the tranquil night

with impassive
laser eyes

infrared tech
calibrates
infiltrates

the drone
seeks its
oblivious prey

target surveyed
contact made

impressive
fireball

chillingly
efficiently

killing done
21st Century way

Terra Mommy

Terra Mommy

Mother Earth

you provide
all we need

yet we treat you 
like dirt

not the soil
of soft flowers

but sludge 
of dark 
indifference

we take you
for granted

we even
abuse you

because you 
have always
been our
nurturing
Mom

will you 
always be 
there for us?

Micro Snot

Micro Snot

The sum of all
human knowledge

now stored
on a chip 
the size
of a sand
speck

centuries to
accumulate

so...

AWWW CHOO!!!!

...so easily lost

Epiphany Me

 
Epiphany Me

Call me simplistic
Call me naive

but I've finally
realized

after all these years
after all the tears

the key 
to happiness

is to NOT think 
so much

just live
just love

let life settle 
and fall into place

Solo Show

Solo Show

here we go...
here we go..

once and always

open the show 
with a
contradiction

close it with
hard core
conviction

along the way

make it up
as we go

improv 
without
a safety net

the moral 
of our story

only we know

Prison Break

Prison Break

The prisoner
existing 
in darkness

contemplates
his mistakes

how to proceed?

should he 
rehabilitate

or retaliate
against a society
which condemned
him?

Crassly Yours

Crassly Yours  


The barbarian
I know I be


uses wrong fork

drinks beer from
a can

bellow laughs
indelicately

my culture 
is MTV

such the creature
of illiteracy
be me

Gum chewing
ball scratching
Pygmalion
of the
21st Century

Shelf Wild Life

Shelf Wild Life 

Sultry transvestite
tightly wrapped
in black lamay

slides next to me
in the library

puts her perfectly
manicured hand
on my nervous 
knee  

we whisper
small talk

he asks if
I want to play

I run away

not playing
hard to get

just can't go
wild side
today

Goodie Two Sandals

Goodie Two Sandals

Descending down
into
temptation
underground

enter the erotic
fantasy playground

deep inside the 
Pleasure Palace

vices of every
persuasion
available for
a price

I can partake

shed my morality

or remain
true to my
own divine
devices

angels do not
forsake me!!

but if you could
look the other way

that would be OK ;) 

Stagnation Nation

Stagnation Nation

Limitations
insidious
growth inhibitors

link by link
these hardened
chains we forge

suffocating
caution casts
doubt

if we can't
break free

if we can't
believe

in the glorious
possibilities

dreams die

Faux Hunt

Faux Hunt

The battle won
slowly winding down
clean up the debris

in the rubble
of what was

dead man
running

pursued by
very demons
he created

trap 
succeeds

mock trial
mere formality

last victim
executed


Revolution
over

Seek Up

Seek Up

I'm here
but I'm not

sitting on
the periphery

barely meeting
minimum 
requirements

obligations I
don't want
don't need

keep your
damn
responsibilities!

gotta find 
myself

gotta 
untangle

before I 
expire

Pax Appeal

Pax Appeal

World on the brink
dogs of war howling 

Crimson sky
opens up

burning cross
descends from
heaven


flames of red
fiery plume
spiritual comet

all the weapons
of hatred
vaporized by the
heavenly force 

the power of peace
unleashed

then I woke up....

just a dream....
DAMN!

Armageddon Man

Armageddon Man

Armageddon man
from his bunker deep

stocking up
supplies
for the end of time

glued to the tube
looking for clues
of the end game

he foresees

the tragic inevitability
of mankind's demise

safe in his fortress
lonely

Death and Taxes

Death and Taxes

At the end
of us

our grand finale

we will leave
behind a 
patchwork quilt
of memories

remnants few
priceless

beyond value

though someday
someway
our life story

assessment will
be levied
intangible
intrinsic

departure tax

no hearing
no appeal

render unto Caesar
forever and always

Count Down

Count Down

Mortality

lurking
in shadows

deeply
repressed

buried beneath
daily life

til someone
we know goes
out 

someone our age
or younger

and the
specter of
death
emerges

to remind us
of our pending

mortality

Malice In Wonderland

Malice In Wonderland

Peering through
the looking glass

tap......tap.... tap.....


What the Hell?


made of 
PLASTIC!

this is
progress?

sometimes
technology
is

crap....crap....crap!!

Expiration Me

Expiration Me 


Living my life

one breath
at a time

Maybe
a little too hard
for a well worn man 
of my obvious limitations 

Sharp pain explosion

Numbness spreads

Better lay down
and clear
my suddenly
dizzy head

Screams
and commotion

Sirens blare

My express trip

To intensive care

Men in white
wheel me in

monitor my
life functions

beep beep beep

follow the bouncing

beep

High tech toys flash red

Tube goes
up my nose

Apprehension grows

Here we go

Close the show


Fade to black

Flat line melody 

Step into
the white light

and don't

look back

Line Dance

Line Dance


Crossing the line
one step at a time 

I tripped over it 
fell on my pride

should have known
now I am down

because I did not 
see

your ever
changing

boundaries

Deflections

Deflections

Pain and suffering
all around

suffocating
overwhelming

change the channel

block it out
seek distractions
 
find a comedy
comforting
absurdity

Tuck away
the misery 
for

another time
another place
another reality

The C Word

 

We are committed

to each other..

Completely connected..

Rolling on a forever timeline..

Me and you..

Through and through..

Fully meant to be..

Intertwined memorably..

Hand in hand

into the bright light

of eternity

Great Mistake

Great Mistake

Victorian Age
corset morality

Forbidden love
outside the bounds
of wedlock

Bastard babe
of shame
whisked away

Raised in darkness
whispers
clouded 
past

The mistake child
conceived in passion
born of guilt

Achieves greatness

changes the world

a beautiful sin

Prayfully Yours

Prayfully Yours

Bless me Father
for I have have sinned
many times
weekly
daily
right now actually

carnal crimes
cause your women
creation so sublime

flesh is weak
can't resist your temptations
(see above)

absolution I seek
forgiveness I beseech

just do not
condemn me
when I fall

You did create me
after all !!
