<\/p>\n

middle aged dopamine dreams
\nmixed with lethargic artistry
\ncreating blackened schemes
\nand unmeasured extremes
\ngreat green goddess
\nhelp me silence
\nthese dampened screams
\nand balance these
\nuneven themes<\/p>\n

loneliness
\ntimeless chimera<\/p>\n

devout depression
\nmanifested as
\nempirical expression<\/p>\n

find it, fix it
\nfuck it and kill it
\ndrawing a dissident response
\nas the passive flow of infinity
\nfills me and follows
\nmy melancholic misdirection<\/p>\n

gripped in silent rhapsody
\ni can\u2019t remember
\nwhere i left the door
\nso with rhythmical subsidy
\ni struggle to
\nimplore the whore
\nand ignore
\nthis callous metaphor
\nbecause faith has fallen
\nmanically to the floor<\/p>\n

a dream of twins
\nand old endings set right
\neach day is a short story
\nand all the best scenes
\ntake place at night<\/p>\n

so many women
\nremembered and half served
\nbut only the finest know
\nthat i write best
\nwhen alone<\/p>\n

flowers from a forgotten age
\nblack wistful sage
\nguide me through this
\nturbulent night\u2019s rage<\/p>\n

madness romanticized
\nand grey hairs accessorized<\/p>\n

downgrade and release
\nquestion the exquisite question
\nwith sunglasses set to
\nsudden extermination
\ni\u2019m redefining imagination<\/p>\n

persistence
\nwholesale existence
\nhack into a mild form of resistance<\/p>\n

i\u2019ve given orders
\nto the soldiers of free love
\nto dismember
\nall the alarm clocks of the world
\nfor they serve the beast
\nand prevent the feast
\nof satirical saints in harmony<\/p>\n

change welcomes us all
\nbinding us to these
\nsacrificial city streets
\nand with playful heartbeats
\nthe old gods
\nknock erratically at our door
\nand toss fate upon the floor<\/p>\n
