Memoirs of a child

[serious8]

Finally, to forgo sex is to lick the needles of a cactus,
Is to let the wind purposely reshape my hair,
Is to repent my sin of adultery.
Is to anchor a boat on the highest tides,
Is to sit by the ocean and count every star,
Is to rampage through the parking lot just to be close to the door.
Not to have sex is to diminish.

To have sex is to be nestled
Like a pearl within the walls of an oyster.
To have sex is to control
Or to be controlled.
Is to understand when something detaches,
Like a leaf faltering from its branch.

To have sex is to know what I have lost,
Between innocence and the coming of age,
Is to feel pain just to know that I am alive.

To have sex is to find myself chained by barbwire in a labyrinth of feces,
Soiled sheets and beds that are as soft as concrete.

To find myself is to find what will help me connect
Like being hog-tied on a wooden fence and pistol whipped
To have an alternate sanctuary
Is to find comfort in something
Like writing poetry while nestled in a crowded coffee house

To diminish is to execute my mother with compassion,
And comprehend my need to love
Is to forget that I plunged the needle into my vein,
Is to sing off key and admire my talent

To have sex is to smell the burning of flesh
Peeling away the layers of skin
Come lick my wounds.

Howdy stranger
welcome to studio eight
this my second attemp at a reply


freud's breakfast
two over easy
passive sex a pain

for the thornes to pulsate
in my unsettled memories
i wait in the beds
with the brare rabbit
and wish for the sunlight
to open the doors
of Alice and her wonderlands
mystical time wharp.

I don't know which side of the Looking Glass I am on
anymore.
I see myself as I am now
but the room behind me that I see relfected
has not existed since 1952

Dodgson could do the math
I can't
I exist in a quantum cat state
where I spin in two directions at once
living counter clockwise
as the world spins towards tomorrow.

eternity waits for me
to catch up to myself
in the future will have been
I am was happy now

[jimboloco]

someday
i will be
a horney
juvenile
high on pot
with a viagra smile

which this piece is full of.
