A Study In Memory

i maynot be able
to

help you forget -- but,
i can help
you

replace:

mem-
ories dreams
love-
s hopes

just as youcannot help me
forget

but you have started
to helpme

Green and Emerald

if orangeries would only, but then again why wouldnot

they -- i heard
your fragrance whisp'r'd along
the un-blossom-d organdies and
decay'd cherrie blossomss
and just like that;
when has summer ever depriv-
d us of God? or Sex (for that matter[s])
?
one is as Lavender'd as the other.

i painted you all in an acrobatic blue, but i
knew the difference; after so many affairs

only i could. do you
see mypoint...
do you still faultme for having
offered you

greenandemerald
castles? it
was
innocent (i swear)

but the end is all one
as orangeries are,

but, honestly
why wouldnot they?

A Reflection on Passion

To contemplate the vibrations of waves hitting shore, I must pause
contemplat
-ing the first time I press'd
my fingers
     into your goosebump'd skin
and you held on;

you taught me how to take a deep breath
make
-ing it last
longer than a sum
mer sunset.
Do you hear the waves?
Do you hear the sirens?

They are gasping for oxygen they don't need, and yet
what is more coveted than
That which is not for us?
Not for me?

forgive us (for we have sinned)

the Glandular hypothesis
contains something of the ephemeral, of the rotund, of the obsolete

something of the fecund, the titanic,

something of the past, the present,

(It contains no trace nor shadow
        of the future)

the hypothetical Glandular hypothesis

was designed by the hand of God, by the hand of the Abyss, by the hand on the clock that

reminds us: we are already late;

by the sacr'd hand that holds us as we cross the street, cross our hearts,
cross out the names of the ones we once lov-d,

Chin up. and Steady on.

the Glandular Hypothesis will be proven wrong December the 32nd, approximately; and June 15th, exactly.

Chin up.

what testicular vanity has lead to the procedural involvement between Faith & Reason -- anything to secure our place on top.

No. 1

To know who you are,
Where you live,
Where you work,
Where you like to drink,
Where you like to eat,
the street on which your old apartment resides with all the living memories of the boy whom you used to love (and possibly still do),
the grocery store you were against because you understand how gentrification works but they had the best selection,
the restaurants you know because other men had taken you there and you appreciated each date because you now have new recipes to recreate at home,
the library near your house that you will visit when the day is slow and if i was near we would either go to together or go on a day trip to visit your parents your sister and your niece and nephew who would (hopefully) come to see me as their uncle not by blood but by a stronger bond: choice,

to know of your existence
to feel what i feel
to feel what you feel

to attempt to fight against time
and to only wear myself out because that is the only fight that cant be won;

to know all of this and for it to still not be enough:

this is the definition of injustice.

A Study in Competition

In the time it takes us to remember,

we have missed an opportunity to
make a new memory

A Study of Existence

Time is

a matter

Of minutes
And

Seconds;

Life is

for stories
and

memories.

A Study in Bullshit

"God doesnt make mistakes"

i heard that earlier tonight,
and i thought, bullshit.
