Poetry
A Killer And A Scholar
He had a spider web tattoo on his elbow,
a holograph of an eye on his lapel,
his complexion was smooth and uneven,
a killer and a scholar, you could tell.
Describe the ripples on a lake
First, disregard the word shimmer.
too rapidly it decays into simmer,
shunner, slimmer, suddenly slum
slam, slammer summer. It will not
stand, it dissolves upon reflection.
oh to be hated
to inspire such a feeling within someone
I must really get under your skin
to think about someone, a lot
whether to know what to do, or not
if anything special will be required
yesterday, I was no one, but today I‘m
someone, because I was chosen by you
The world is so poetic
Leaving the subway station,
the tile floor is bandaged
with hundreds of magazine covers
all featuring Britney Spears,
not enough glue
all the glue on earth
is not enough to hold
this broken heart together
all the brains on earth
are not enough to disprove
My life as snow
I wanted to be electricity,
but I became snow instead.
No medium of communication,
a medium of coruscation.
I lie bright, unblinking in the sun,
