.
the bleakness
midnight black ink sketched carelessly across white pages,
toothless with the smooth manila grain.
single,
continuous curves,
filled with cross hatched light values and implied shadows that we were so keen to learn,
seduce lost souls into the vast,
stress induced,
scratches adorning the majority of what would be spiral in sound alone.
words fill in the spaces,
visible and unseen in their masochistic font,
draining from high-tech electronic devices resting upon my ears,
wrapping misheard angry lyrics around my impressionable,
drained,
sleep deprived brain mass.
scattered untraceable thoughts slip,
slide,
slink past neat letters with the exhaust of late nights,
coffee breaks,
cocaine overdoses and copy written music.
fake physics equations line the insides of fake moonlit mountains,
fake-ly recorded only by those privileged with the sharpest quill,
mistaken only in their simplest veil for those merciless viola gods.
simple,
childishly animated escapes come to mind,
remembering just what it was that nudged such a bleak vision into written completion.
disgust for humanity brightens on the velvety orange horizon,
over the darkened encompassing mistakes,
passed the thin silver blue stars,
over the elongated,
italicized,
arial letters,
proclaiming its deliciously disguised,
yet still existent appearance.
living in picture perfectly straight ratios to southeast corners,
the weather was never quite perfect.
heavy black lines hang more thickly than the smothering,
dank air surfacing from the pours of basement corners,
smothering onlookers innocent of any crime fit for such punishment in mothball musk,
the seasons newest sensation.
dawn;
eases to quick,
fast,
chicken scratch.
feeding the newborn hens puts everything into perspective.
the troll has put his foot down,
its time for overdue tolls to be paid.
ignore the solid lines,
timeless truths tell me we arent in kansas anymore.
editted for my being an idiot. it was late. give me a break, jeeesus.
