Walk Away
After the rain wept
I could not even raise myself up
I could not stand
My entire body was shaking
My eyes looked down
Sad
Not knowing why
Questioning
The rain continued
Today it poured
Morning hours
A coolness swept over
Pushing the warmth away
Puzzled
And empty
I took to the streets
Walked alone
Questioning
My thoughts racing around
Constantly hungry
Trying to hold
The memory is past
My hands shiver with my breath
I can't believe it now
I don't want to go
You shut the door
And now I'm gone
The wet street beneath
Golden light reflects
A man at the door
Around the corner I turn
Questioning
Fog sets in
Surround my shivering body
My soul
My emptiness
My shadow you decline
Ignored
Forgot
Before the night falls to the sunrise
I go on walking
Away
With The Bible in hand

I Have A Gun
I have a gun
I’m going to shoot you
Shoot you up
Fuck you up
Shove it in
And shoot you down
I have a gun
I’ll make it memorable
I’ll make the news
And the newspaper headlines
I have a gun
I’ll be famous
I’ll be history
And the television will broadcast my portrait

If I see an apple on the street now
I’ll pick it up and drink its juices
I’ll be allowed to
It would be appropriate
There is nothing you can do
But Pray, I don’t punch you in the face
And remember those nights
When I called down the hallway
While you were paid
And now you are left in my memory bank
And there is nothing I can do
But hope and expand
But I warn you now
As I do every year
Pray I only punch you
Punch you back
And don’t kill you

Morning
The morning bird calls
My restless sleep ends
Only a few days to go
And you’ll be in my arms again
Elvis Presley & America plays
On the cold stereo
I’m wrapped up in blankets
Without you
I believe in you
That you make me warmer
And smile longer
And cherish life greater
It’s morning
I rise up out of bed
Scratching my head
Running my fingers through my hair
Making my way down
From my deep sleep
Looking in the mirror
At myself
I look deep in my blue eyes
And deep down inside
I see great beautiful
Brown eyes
You are always with me
Near or far
You are in my heart
Never forgotten
A few days will pass
And once again
Arm in arm
I’ll remember why
I’m with you

You Know You Are An Elephant
You know you are an elephant
But what am I?
But what am I?
Just a fan?
Of your marriage?
Your song?
The kitchen chair you sit upon?
You know you are an elephant
Big and grey
Wise
Scared of the little mouse
Sit on my lap,
I’ll tell you a goodnight story
You know you are an elephant
Big ears
Hearing round and round
From California bay side
To the New York harbor
To the early night in Cork
To the last night in Europe
You know you are an elephant
Listening to the closed door
Hearing those two on the other side
Listening for hints, sounds
Making mental notes
Spreading the news
You know you are an elephant
Sleeping around
An animal of sorts
A dead vegetable
Going to Yorkshire
From SOHO
Going to the art fair
From machine gun alley
You know you are an elephant
But what am I?
But what am I?
I’m a lonely clover
Sitting upon your shoulder
Looking and reading into your thoughts
Sniffing at your hair
I’ll leave you alone
If you scratch my back
Scratch my back

Geography Is Irrelevant To Sexual Ecstasy
I’m going to shoot it off
Be happy
Be a lover
Divide
Duck
Shoot
You make me want to be gay
A homosexual
A gay lover
A happy man
A happy face
You make me want to dance
Sweat
Shake the ground
Bite you
I’m going to dance
Give you a strip-tease
An art show toast
Create
Inspire
Revolt
You make me want to climb
A rockstar
A molded earth
A mountain
Higher
You make me want to smoke
Drink
Do the drugs
And feel my wet feet on concrete
You make me want to stutter
With rolling words
Of wisdom in the category of
Lions
Lust
Leave
Lonesome
Lie
Leap
Like
Learn
You make me
You turn me into an animal
Happy
So Happy
Happy Face
Bouncing around
Like a rainy-day masturbator
Happy
Now I’m cool
Cold
Feeling the cool breeze
No hot summer weather in my crotch
Tonight, I will sleep
Tonight, I will think of you
And Tomorrow
I will create art

Peeing & Peeking
She was peeing and peeking
Peeking while she was peeing
Peeing on the potty
Peeking around the corner
Pee-Pee she made
And peek she did
Peering out
About
Around the corner, she peeked
Peed she did
Not in the pool
Or on top of the stool
But in the potty
There she made pee-pee
Peeing & Peeking
Thats what she did
Looking around the corner
I see her peeking
Peeing and peeking
She peed a peeked
And peeked a pee
She peeked when she peed
And made a pee-pee
Peeing and Peeking
No peep or poo
Just a pee and peek
For me and you

I’ve Had Enough
I’m bored with today
I’ve had enough of passion and pain
I’ve had enough of guilt and grief
I’ve had enough of accessories
I’ve had enough of popularity contests
I’m longing for the future
I’ve had enough of building
I’ve had enough of unknown diseases

I’ve had enough of cellular communication devices
I’m longing for stroke treatment
I’ve had enough of making purchases

I’ve had enough of posing for the testing
I’ve had enough of losing the battle of the self
I’m longing for the gift
I’ve had enough of incomplete songs
I’ve had enough of wishing for dreams
I’ve had enough of fast food chains
I’ve had enough of tour accommodations
I’m longing for something new
I’ve had enough of fighting
I’ve had enough of believing in all
I’ve had enough of microwave ovens

I’m longing for the cry on my shoulder
I’ve had enough of people wasting their life
I’ve had enough of death defeating popstars
I’ve had enough of victims and taxes
I’ve had enough of mothers close to the art
I’m longing for survival
I’ve had enough of canned vegetables
I’ve had enough of sitar instruments in my head
I’ve had enough of white knobs of undergarments
I’ve had enough of dot memories and black bananas
I’m longing for a dozen
I’ve had enough of money stories
I’ve had enough of fire promises
I’ve had enough of dead cooking
I’ve had enough of feeling evil
I’m longing for you

Scent (Version #2)
I love it when
I can still smell your scent
On the bath towel you just used
On the pillow case you just slept on
On the shirt of mine you just borrowed
I love it when
I can smell your scent
When I’m up against your neck
Sleeping next to your shoulder
Or licking the curves of your back
I love it when
I can still smell your scent
On the sheets I wrap myself in
On the candle you just burned
On the soap you just used
I love it when
I can smell your scent
When I hold your hand
Remembering your eyes
Or kissing your lips
I love it when
I can still smell your scent
On the card you sent me
On the shoulder you cuddled upon
On the flowers you left behind
I love it when
I can smell your scent
When I’m hugging you goodbye and hello
Smiling with your heart
Or listening to your passion

Ache
Falling asleep
On my white sheets and feather pillows
My head in ache
I feel the warm trickle
First from my ears
On to my pillow
My ears bleeding
The red staining the white sheets
And tracing the curves of my ear
Then from my nose
The blood traveled down my lips
Hitting the sheets
I bled from the holes in my wrists
And the holes in my ankles
Like my soul bleeding
The red rivers flowing
Feeling like I’m no longer the significant person I used to be
Losing my soul, my thoughts
Seeing the flash before me
The images of all those brothers and sisters that I loved
The blood flowing from the holes
My wrists, my ankles, my ears, my nose
My eyes blue as the sky and ocean
My body getting cold, pale, rottenly forgotten
I’m no longer significant
I’m just a shadow caster now
On mountain tops
I’ll be reunion warmth
I’m no longer significant
I’m bleeding now
I’m nothing
I’m your love

Apt. #5
It was a hot summer night
My window was wide open
I heard the people fucking in the apartment above me
Apartment Number Five
I heard them panting
The bed moving and banging
I heard the woman moaning
Short and lengthy little silent screams
I heard the jolts and the pleasures
Through the New York City screen window
I heard him fuck her through the walls and ceilings
Hard pounding at times
I got so turned on
Hearing them fuck
I brought out my collection of porn magazines
I spread them all out
A territory, a shrine of porn
All around lace, leather, and naked nice
I still heard the fucking in Apt. #5
I stroked my own cock
As I heard them fuck
Matching the rhythm
Hearing their moans and penetrations
Wet and hard
Over and over
I penetrated my own clenched fist
And when she orgasmed with an “Ouch”
I came all over myself
My fingers
With hot, sticky, white, flowing cum

Love (Version #08)
Love is a lie
Invented by Webster
And make believe poets
And disease
When no longer you want
You take the train
To Never
And when Never arrives
That’s when you cry in
Your lasting sleep
And fade in to
Everyone’s lost
Memory
