She called. Monday, May 15 2023 

There are no heros

There are no villains

Just people

The ones that hold you up

& The ones that keep up at night

The Window In The Bathroom Thursday, Feb 23 2023 

Sitting nude next to an open window
on the 7th floor
& I have a joint in my fingers
I don’t normally drink gin
but it was purple
& I do love the color
I don’t know if I prefer to sway over the hot bath
or the cold street
I don’t know if I want someone to look up or if I wish to fall down
All I’m sure of
is that I shouldn’t be smoking this joint in the apartment.

I looked at my own photograph

& the girl I saw looked terrified

of herself

Insomnia on a cold night Monday, Jan 31 2022 

All the tea and twinkling stars
couldn’t put me down
so I lit a joint and took a walk
around my sleeping town
I wandered home slightly more cold
but still not ready for bed
so I laid down and rested my eyes
when I could not rest my head

Not much change Thursday, Jun 10 2021 

I used to watch you pass by at 17

Heart broken, jaded and mean,

I’m not much different now.

No, not much better now.

You shall welcome us. Wednesday, Feb 3 2021 

A bottle of wine in and who are you?

I A wise lover to be headed

Or an old man looking for obedience

I am not your dog

But I will u bite..

Down on the hand of uniformity

We are not your progeny

We are our very own creatures

And we wait in the dark

The dark to you gave us to render you blind

And though you do not see us

We shall rise

And you,

Faint of heart

Shall crumble

We are the now

And you shall

Welcome us

Or

Fear the progress

Do not fear me

I am you

And i will come for you.

Big brother Wednesday, Dec 9 2020 

When i was 12 you would order sandwichs for me cause subway was to loud.

Id save you a seat next to me in the basement and you always made me feel a part of things.

Like it was ok to be there and I was wanted. 

After you always walked me to the train or my dad.

You made sure I was safe and always included.

I hold that inside of me as memory of haveing a faimly and being loved.

You are my mental safe place,

so why now do you make feel like I need to slink away quietly and hide?

Why do I feel like spill that needs to be hidden from the adults?

You’ve always been there to clean me up and set things right,

so why do I feel like I live under the rug with the rest of the dust and crumbs of the past.

I know we change as we grow,

But have we changed that much?

You loved me once,

I called you brother.

Where is my brother now?

excerpt from the oyster Monday, Nov 30 2020 

science takes some of the wonder out of love 

We say we feel it in our hearts 

But really its in our brain 

Chemicals rising and falling

Making us love sick 

Love is a sickness

Home sickness 

For a home you’ve never known

How can you feel like your both flying high and drowning simultaneously 

In both scenarios your finding it hard to breath 

Then you remember your lucky to be breathing at all

It’s the adrenaline

You can feel it in your skin 

Digging in 

To your chagrin 

Cause you had no plans on letting love in to begin with 

Developing an attraction to someone 

Brings out the same fight or flight reaction

That walking down a dark alley might

Dopamine rush keeps you coming back for more

Making it impossible to ignore

And as your serotonin skyrockets 

And then plummets 

You feel well

Thats just it

You feel 

This is your brain on love 

You start seeing all of the silver linings

You spend half the day wondering in your imagination wondering what the first kiss will feel like

How they will hold you at night 

Ad what it will be like o not sleep alone anymore

What it will be like to not be alone anymore 

And in the very same thought you think of all the things you’ll never have together

A picnic in the grass

Getting caught in the rain 

The warmth of the sun 

Bringing him home to meet your parents

I tried to reason with it 

I try to resist 

But but then the access dopamine as we made eye contact  and he didn’t look away 

He didn’t look away 

My whole life I grasped to the ether looking for something 

Anything to connect me back to this world 

For something that felt a little bit like home 

When I looked into his eyes

That’s exactly how I felt 

Home 

I was finally home

Please forgive my treachery

Babys and toes. Thursday, Oct 1 2020 

I get it now

I understand

This is why when you discover your toes as a baby your become obsessed

What is that?

Its mine i think

Or its on me?

I can move it, kinda

Was that even me

I should shake it

I should pull it

I should put it my mouth

Lick is or bite it

Yeah its mine

Its weird

What is for

What can do with it

What are those little parts commong off

Are they the same or like whats the deal there

Yeah I should lick it

Maybe it works wet

I’m so confused

I’ll figure this out
