Blood on Canvas

Blood on Canvas 

threw everything I had 
against a wall 
few things I could catch 
the rest I let fall

carrying around on my back 
a lot of junk
few pieces I’ve got 
have become inseparable 

wad of papers in my pocket
note from a friend 
verses written on a paycheck
coins not thrown in a fountain

throwing everything I have 
against a wall
pieces shatter
into crystal 

salmon consents to be eaten
oak tree signs the waiver
carrot smiles as it’s bitten 
climate agrees to more changes

money luxuriates in its dirtiness 
a future’s written in cursive 
on a brick wall by an anarchist

with a pink gel pen

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
