  • Paradox World
    2024/11/03
    Paradox World Sometimes at night I fall into soft shadows Because the way of the stray Is to shelter from harm Then the bread-truck is unloading While the birds are calling From perches above the boulevard It’s like an algorithm remembering your favorite song I’m ambivalent about sunlight Like when these gridlocked cars On narrow blocks sweat like battalions Led by someone terribly wrong And we’re in a paradox world Someone love me into submission A paradox world Someone guide my hand in composing This transmission A paradox world There’s always tomorrow until tomorrow Paradox World Time takes life, it doesn’t borrow Now the flakes fall at twilight With the streetlights turned on It looks like static in my vision Camouflages the crosswalk No one asks if I’m lonely They only stare like I don’t belong They might find I have old music inside If they ever wanted to talk Is it the scythe or the hood? Which they find so off-putting Sometimes they run, others just turn white As their outlines in chalk It’s a paradox world I have centuries of notes It’s a paradox world Full of promises and high hopes

  • Twilight of the Gods
    2024/11/01
    Twilight of the Gods It wasn’t about hope They just couldn’t take a joke But they let you run your mouth Because it gave them more rope You said they’d remember your name For all the honor in literary fame But you wound up crying outside your mother’s In the rain Twenty-five years to retire An indefinite date to expire Almost got fired over a pothole Dad never taught you how to change a tire Twilight of the gods Overcome by the odds Blasting out the bad thoughts With the music in our cars Twilight of the gods Fate shuffled all our cards Is the mud deep enough To plant a basketball hoop in the yard? And what of your friend’s silver dreams? All the pool parties, beers, rehearsed scenes You’ve got to be slapped by real life To comprehend what fantasy means You always had a soft spot for Angela Even when she yelled at ya The flower in her hair Was a yellow chrysanthemum And her soulmate Blaine’s persistent tinnitus Combined with his chronic right shoulder bursitis Compromised the showcase after those Fringe suits had hyped it Twilight of the gods Overcome by the odds Blasting out the bad thoughts With the music in our cars Twilight of the gods Fate shuffled all our cards Is the mud deep enough To plant a basketball hoop in the yard? To whom do you owe the pleasure? Of carrying on You don’t even need To fill out a form You just keep waking up Even when you’ve had enough To take your swing, shoot your shot
