Ow my god there’s cracks in the floor!
I need a paver
Smooth, smooth the indecency
She burnt the phone book
Screaming “Fuck the Parrot Act
Macaw is trying to wire tap my thoughts”
There pumping the wrong well
A dapper man for the twenty first century came up to me asking for my thoughts on recent telecast.
Oil has very little to do with foil, so I’m pretty sure I’ll survive
The streets are littered with Revlon trash. I want to smear their mask with dirty thrift store bed sheets.
I was walking through the mall the yesterday, an acne faced girl, working in the record store; stares like a starving puppy. She must be thinking the same way I am.
Love is,
One eye blind the other milky
Limp appendages and everyone knows crutches are for pussies
A sigh of relief when seeing period stained panties in the sink
Whisky in the free world
Imposed enthusiasm
Coffee and cigarettes at two a.m.
Unsafe sex
The pull out method
Selling until two
Posting on Sundays
Step lightly. The egg shell floor is cracked
Loose tobacco spills on to my page, resembling a Rorschach ink blot. I see a whooping crane making change for Moloch. A transaction is never fair unless you smile.
Dial information, just to see what has been called
Look deep into the core of the sun
Out of sight out of mind
My mind is a horror film rubix cube. Solve it if you like. It’s only meant to be colorful and piss you off.
Left
Right
Some sort of fucked diagonal
Up
Down
Tired hands
Broken finger nails
Those puzzles will get you
Riddles and tongue twisters
Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers
Vinegar on my lips
In my eye
I’ll burn that danm garden
Peter and his thumbs are to blame
Sirens from the concrete
Closet
Window
Shower curtains
Crawl space
Box spring
Escape routes are for firers
Light a cigarette. The neighbors and I both know that I’m the only one on the block with a government paid doorbell.
Knock!
Knock1
Break down the door you lazy fucks; you’re the ones who are late!
I put my cigarette out on the floor.

delightfully crazy. full of the unexpected, and the part about the parrot act and the macaw was delightful. and yeah, rubix cubes piss me off too
-
reminds me of Captain Beefheart without the music. the beginning seemed to be just random thoughts on blotter, but then it forms a semi cohesive train of thought of dark depth. The rubix bit was classic.
remember...."feed your head!"

haha i love how unpredictable and crazy your writing is! you get the reader lost in random abstractness and you sometimes make me wonder what the hell im reading, but its so worth it for the images and fun, fucked thoughts and concepts.
My mind is a horror film rubix cube. Solve it if you like. It’s only meant to be colorful and piss you off.

The content of this is overwhelming. It's certainly heavy going, but it keeps your attention enough that you actually want to get through it.
I liked the "horror film rubix cube" stanza a lot.
-
That is really good! I have read like a lot of poems like this. One was about cheez-its another one was about a door. So many abstract concepts!
Good Luck

I like this. It's definitely different which is nice to see. It's random but in a poetic way. I like the lines
"The streets are littered with Revlon trash. I want to smear their mask with dirty thrift store bed sheets."
and
"My mind is a horror film rubix cube. Solve it if you like. It’s only meant to be colorful and piss you off."
There are a few typos and spelling errors but I know they're not high up on the list of things you give a fuck about, so who cares.
Anyways, cool write.
