Self Control
To resist feeling
is to suffer
the consequence
of treatment
as without
feeling.

Unresponsive Reflex
my pupils
are swollen
still
though you
are bright
you hide yourself
to keep me
from harm
but I hunger
for blindness

Being Nobody
Nobody gives a fuck
about your feelings.
Nobody gives a fuck
about mine either.
are you Nobody?
i am

Eye Contact
How can you read my eyes?
They are a bottomless novel
written of no words
The only picture is
your reflection in them
but this changes
with the reader
I am not a book.
Please do not read me.
I live not in a library.
You need not have
a library card to
check me out.
I am not bound
except by my own boundaries.
I have no author.
There are too many dimensions
to record.
I cannot be catalogued
and I have no ISBN
though I am one of a kind
and fully copyrighted.

For the Insecure
though i irritate
your insecurity
you endure the discomfort
seeking tolerance
you take part in a civil war
rip yourself open
trap the fresh wounds
to keep from healing
you solicit scars
i see your struggle
i await your victory
of a battle only conquered
when lost
|
No Novocaine
it suits me not
to care
but yet
it is unavoidable
my heart has flung
its silk strings to you
you have direct access
to me
though i am left
with nothing
to dull
my sensitivity
|
Succumbing
I’ve been infected.
in which dream
did you submit
the poison?
so soft
your hand
your voice
painless kiss
all this time
unaware
while the serum
divided
to multiply
Now
the reproductions
are ripe
I will be overtaken
|
Trash Handling
I can’t
handle
this
mixed messages
strewn trash
stuck
mining compost
I can’t
see
but through
my own eyes
Tell me
Dumpster swimming
isn’t worth it.
