Suddenly, as I looked up from my makeshift workspace, where I had been toiling away for hours at seemingly nothing—I realized the world was full of everything I'd ever wanted to fuck; something primal and ancient had been awakening within me and I was left in a dangerous volitile position, drifting somewhere between reckless promiscuity in a sexual escapade—and the pseudo-conservative now-only partially celibate maiden form of fantasy—there wasn't anything I could do but wait inside my tragic box for some unassuming old soul to finally open the gate—and allow whatever devious and fiending hedonistic godbeing —though never fully lying dormant, entrapped and imprisoned in a loveless and sexless prison.
You might recognize me.
You Know, I was one of the original Kings of comedy.
If I put my heart inside a box;
Maybe I'd forget how cold it was
Or how far you are
Or how much it hurts
There's no harm in God,
If there ever was one
Then, reality sets in:
God was my only friend
No armor on,
I'm at the end
Or a long, long walk
I'm off again
And on again
Nothing's impossible—
stop at the alter and scoff a bit
I left my coat on,
I left my heart on the rooftop,
A sacrifice, love
At the alter,
I wonder a song,
Or a sonnet
A song,
No, what's wrong?
Something off a bit
God, I woke up in a coffin once
Isn't that awful
The rest or the song wrote itself,
At the alter
No, I can't stop and talk
Got to get off,
Cause I've never been on
I've never belonged in the world
I'm breaking down, jim boy
Don't you know?
That this show blows my mind
But it's stuck in my head
Don't you know
That this show
Blows my mind
Like a firework
But it's still
Stuck in my
Head
The context is that I want you
From the mustache
Down to your tonsils
But I'm Locke inside of a box
Every day I feel poorer and poorer
The product says something is wrong to me
I'm supposed to just stop at the stop sign
And look both directions
Before crossing over to
Comic nights
At the salad bar
What a cosmic waste of time
And an epic waste of space
Am I in your internet history
I'm dead
You surely are in mine,
But I'm right behind you
I'd be lying for trying to say
I'm not binded
Clutch bag,
Nut-thins
Nailed to the cross
With the arches doubled over
The crossword
Above old Missouri
Missoula and Arkansas
All saw us run out of gas
But I probably should just get going
You're so drunk that I don't hope you sober up
Understand that our little talks
Were just buffered
By sunrise
Or sunset
And two more cocktails,
Shirley temples and
Surely none of this ever even happened
I only know you by the misery in my belly.
The heartache in my ribcage.
The cry I hold in silent
I only know you as
Remarkable I,
House of cards
Ace of wands
Down to one
Card of hades and
Spare me the spade
I'll be drifting in the outline and ink of it forever
It's the Fourth of July and I'm just waiting on an Amazon order for water
If that's not freedom I don't k me what is
The elevator music
Of my ascension
The attitude of attraction,
Gratitude, it's so unusual
Fight to lose,
In a room full of fools;
The fuse, and the matchbox—
Futile—amusing—
Tunes from a hatchback
Keys in the lockbox
What you want,
From the problem solver?
That's enough;
Now she's out of the box
In just socks,
And they laugh at her—
But also wonder
Where her shoes might have gone to
There's a lot of ways to get out of a big black duffel bag,
You just have to ask, actually
But there's only one
To get out of the coffin,
Or “Box” as they called it,
That she was locked up in
Futile—amusing—
Tunes from a hatchback
Keys in the lockbox
What you want,
From the problem solver?
That's enough;
Now she's out of the box
In just socks,
And they laugh at her—
But also wonder
Where her shoes might have gone to
I won't got no business in the business
I unplug the plug because I'm finish
Just because my skin they think I'm niggas
But that disrespect because I isn't
You disrespected me
Put the emphasis in neglect
Synthesis? Sympathies
Put some respect on my name
Before
I put some facts in these flames
Making me famous
But you don't play me
Picking up packages
Trying to play me
I am the president bitch
Not the lady
Okay
Scratch my back
With a metal spatula
Take a step back, this is not your world
Take a step back
While I skip forward
This is snitch territory;
You should be very aware of me
Beware
If that's didn't scare you
Just stay right there
I'm in weight class: BEAR
Flying first class air
with howling thunderous winds and much hacking, “TIMOTHY THE GIANT CAT” dislodges a
Omg dislodges a what?
I have no idea that's all that was there.
omg.
My mother must've known something about me I couldn't have;
My mother must have given me her monster
But this monster knows better.
Even just the profile is an irritant for now;
Unsure, meditterenian,
Overgrown pantheons turned to ruins
What happened was harder,
Turbulence
I've been good,
Golden even
But this computer wants me gone
And now,
Aggravated
Assault with a program
Who would have thought the forth world war would be fought
With our own thoughts?
No one.
Hm.
Even just a glimpse and imm angrier than I've ever been.
Still something creeps like the Harvard doctor
Or the burning fire
Or the flicker of just a thought
A meadowlark and still
Vines at the bottom of the spring
In the pantheon
Rhythms and rythms and
Now I remember why were blowing up the counterparts
Shut up,
And pay your taxes
Nothing to see here, bottoms up.
But it's only 9 and half a clock
Remember Sonny, would ya
Now we're all obscure in the shadowbox
Fix you up a seller
Shortly temple soda
Surely something lingers
Sure enough
The forest,
And the father
And the omen
And the harpist
And the seeker
And the shadow
And the wonder
And the alter
Therefore,
Who art thou
Therefore, who,
Arthur
What a wonderful tragedy, Mr. Lin
He said,
“I thought you'd though so”
I say,
“Prayers answered and nothing less
Than just in the nick of time,
For nickel backs
And Pennie's picked up,
Now in capsules
Who you are, I falter
But nevertheless
A songbird”
What a vow, God.
I try to keep my promises
But my face is still wilted
And awkward
I take those punches
Just about as well
As the bag I've become
Downstairs, embankments
And more shadow boxes
Gift, valentines
And then now
By Fourth of July
I should be quite the disappointment
To just about everyone
Who even had a thought about her
There are no more colors
Just wounds,
And salt shakers,
Garlic and
Slamming doors
Art throbs
And heart connesuiers
And curators
Existential crisis
And inward turmoil
Oil on canvas
Blood spills
Long before it ever boils
Cauldrons
Candle marks
Ought, with my eye out
Out, with the harpists!
I put my eye on,
Dose now,
Flicker flames,
Shadow box
Goodnight drunken soldier
Pity this,
I want to sleep, but wither
I want to weep, but am watched
I must be under some kind of…
Umbrella.
I bust me under some kind of
—
Possession.
I must be under surveillance
The Devil's in the neighbor
The proof is in the pudding
I want to punch the possum
Or wombat
Or what you would call a rodent
Dressed as some dumb girl
I'm sure she gets paid by the poem
To poke and prod
But I've written symphonies next door
While she plants the seeds of the devil's words
And still tries to force conformity
In a neighborhood riddled with disease
Of which includes her
Poor habits and lack of personality
No vibration after all
But I've hydrated perfectly
And circumstances permit,
Again,
I've written symphonies and never ending sagas in the bathtub
While you threaten to pull the plug
And put the light out
I beg you to watch me
Rip my veins apart with box cutters
And razorblades
Then again,
Probably with glee,
The whites would watch
Another black in agony
They seem to really like that
Then again
The blacks, the shadows
Cursed beats
Seem to rip each other into pieces
As if for entertainment or otherwise
Watch this
They seem to hate each other moredoes
Anybody else actually hate them also
And therefore
I watch pitifully and become
Respectfully disengaged
As I am sorted into
Creatures of the agony, abyss and wisdom old
A tale as old as time and still
Something forgotten,
Even still
It is a man's war,
And us as women are just
Objects,
Then whatever lurks next door is more
An empty body or a shell
Than ever more a woman was
That was my husband you stole from the office.
Fucking dumb whore.
Then again;
What never was owned
Then cannot be stolen
See golden brotherhood,
Crepes and popes,
Sacred pipes
Cerulean,
And keeping her out of our concepts
And gardens
Planting seeds of choking mongrels
And still here
We dance in the meadowlarks song
And the chosen fountain
The blue rays of sun,
And the wonder's bow and arrow
Again, I call?
Well, again I wake
As lover does not call
But yet I to answer with a song of words
And heart of such
A song of one to call for
But nothing lays more secret then
These eyes and filled with pains
A wound, salted
A bullet,
And gillotine
Ouch
Get out, God.
Listen, mister listen
A couple hours later
And my eyes are steady getting misty
Filled with sweat and bears
No blood yet
Stings my eyes
So you know I ain't been eating right
And eyes o. Irish
Hash and cabbage
Checks to cash
And slight advantage
God help us all
If the brim of the hat is dripping
And I'm gripping these quarts as I sleep
And thinking of Jimmy
Croissants fresher baked in the oven
Then somebody better love my son
Before I go and end the world
And pull the plug
I ain't got nothing left for em but diamonds!
I left forums unanswered
I started a lot of unfinished problems
But the thing is,
I'm almost sure they're already solved
Considering as alcoholism's a solvent
It cams hurt the hard boards
And mother drives
The tears are filled with sweat
And fountains
Somebody else should call it in
I'm in so much trouble with the network
Thanks a lot, you algorithm fucking
Cocksuck programmers
Now my heart hurts
And soul is vanished
How hard do I have to run
To go and catch her
I looked 15 years into the past
And found a wheeelbarrow and basket
I have got to get out of here
I have got to get out of here
Here the coroner comes for Debbie Cadaver
But I'm still her, huh
Aren't I?
Run!
You fucking Irish bastard
Perfectly tan and yet still, stark white
Perfectly golden and still,
I'm on numbers
Perfectly parished,
And still I went backwards
A wedding or funeral?
All catholic, no services
No difference at all
And still
Nothings worse than
Indifference
I'm in so much trouble with the network
Be king in the nexrophiliac
And still I left the golden metropolis
For nothing but a metro card and
Simple segregative diversity tactics
I wanted the heartland!
Still, Irish bastard
Wish hash and cabbage
I've got to get out of here
Pushing a basket
Abandonment
And
Fatal attraction
You can't sell me anything
If I can't buy it
Recovery day
But I don't feel like it
Muscles tired,
I'm elastic
Send them to the band camp
(White lion)
I'm elastic
Twists and turns and
I'm elastic
Double up,
Double up
I'm elastic
Twists and turns and
There's vampires
Don't feel like it
Double up double up
I'm elastic
Take a lesson
This is tragic
Double up double up
I promise, it is personal not business
It's professional, no promises now
On the radio tower
Spread it out
Or just hijinx it
I mix drinks with hindsight
I'm elastic
Lesson learned and
Twists and turns
Between the fireman and the super
Someone left a stench
And an energy marker in my room
That left me clawing at my
“Do not touch” money
And it hit below the belt.
It was all God's comedy,
But not in the least funny,
I knew I didn't like the super really for whatever reason
But even after he left to check the Fire defectors
His stench lingered over the smell of the forgotten smoke
And I woke up from a nightmare
As if I'd lost control
When normally,
I know imm dreaming with
Enough time to change things
Before they spiral out of control—
And the worst part,
I didn't remember the dream at all besides
Waking up, finally at the end
Realizing it was a dream and telling myself
It was okay, because now I could just wake up
But it wasn't okay, and I blamed the super
And whatever he brought with him
For lingering in my space
Which didn't really feel like mine anymore, anyways,
Because the neighbor was evil as they come
And they were always playing mind games in the building
And the motorcycles
And really I deserved better
But I couldn't afford it
And because I couldn't afford it
The demons were always lurking
Trying to penetrate my space
And they did, that day
And it was God's comedy
But it wasn't funny
And it lingered
And the nightmares
And the motorcycles was a years long nightmare indeed
And hey,
At least I got some new music.
I realized my show might be the only place my “remixes” might ever see the light of day or have ears other than mine; I couldn't afford the permissions and licenses for most of the music I wanted to remix— nor did I have the energy or the funds to secure the means to come across them. And so, it might have been a good idea to start working; I emptied my bank accounts with intention, with a kind of understanding that it didn't matter at all anyway. Kind of nothing mattered, because there was no real money involved— and I had, in fact stumbled upon the opportunity in a suicidal spiral of desperation, being somewhat hopelessly lost at random in what I thought was Williamsburg; it wasn't, I had apparently walked around Brooklyn in an extremely large loop for about an hour before I realized I might be going in the wrong direction because I couldn't see Manhattan anymore, I didn't care. It was probably 77 or something degrees but with the New York humidity it felt like 90, and I was wearing a head to toe full body sauna suit trying to recover from the end of the month's rations of beans, rice, and literally whatever the fuck I really wanted, because it was really also whatever the fuck I could afford without running out of food for the month before my card reloaded. Thinking I should just die, and in the same very moment stumbling across an opportunity that wasn't nessarily a job, but could easily lead to one— and so, after paying my internet bill, I plunged and poured nearly every last cent I had left over
Into what?
Idk it just ends there.
Goddamnit.
