Week 25, Day 173 – “One Year”

One Year

the year before last
i found the height
and fell
fell past the ground
fell past the chasm
into the still lake muck
where the bullheads
eat their fallen fellows

since then it’s been
one year and still not steady
on dry land baking
mud coat crusting off
unbound but not homeward

Week 25, Day 172 – “Out Running”

Out Running

Drive so fast
to out run death
it always seems to catch
the ones behind me

Week 25, Day 171 – “Wet Grass”

Wet Grass

got to water the grass
to grow in the desert
the only green around
for a perfect picnic
with sandwiches and punch
too bad the grass is wet

Week 25, Day 170 – “Minger”

Minger

minger, minger
dirty blues singer
ugly fuck
is better than
no fuck
unless the minger
wilts your dick off

Week 25, Day 169 – “Sick Day”

Sick Day

no morning caffeine
withdrawal headaches
and a sick day

time to go to bed
and start tomorrow

Week 24, Day 168 – “Ever”

Ever

ever?
forever?
for forever?
never.

Week 24, Day 167 – “Hello”

Hello

hello, is this thing on
step up to the mic and spit
rhyme your life’s troubles
until they go away

Week 24, Day 166 – “The Cruelty of Liars”

The Cruelty of Liars

falsehoods spoken
lead to anger
truths unspoken
lead to tears

Week 24, Day 165 – “Snow”

Snow

every different snowflake
does its part to cover up
the cruelty of the liars

Week 24, Day 164 – “Automatic”

Automatic

wake, toast and tv
a caffeinated cola
and I’m on my way
