THE ANXIOUS LAKE

 

A rising tide

The mania ramping up
the biking every afternoon
the grass-cutting for 2 hours like its 2 minutes
talking at the boy –

Tangent thoughts: forks to internet age
pink ribbons to mindful awareness
Bob the Builder to sexual dysfunction
masturbation and priming to spend
kayak and tattoos
not back to sleep upon frequent waking
to do lists, check check check
and writing ... well there's that

that's fine
just keep personal
don't drink
apply to positive productivity
boundaries and borders
no mingling, not the time for that
no “S” on chest kind of shit

head down
keep busy

 

A vulture hit the windshield
I saw its eye

And I wonder,
who's next to die?



we only remember the good,

the good time, is all we remember.

The times that weren't we forget,

the second she walks out the door-

the second she walks out the door,

all the bad memories, go too.

She only takes the bad memories.

Behind she leaves only the good

And me wishing she wasn’t

The one that got (pushed) away

 

The other one, the one that got left

Probably sweating it out

At roller derby

 

Roller Derby:

where women

who lose their men 

to other women
go to beat up 

other women
before they go home
and now fuck
other

women

But I don’t dwell on these types of things

Cuz that won’t get me in the end

Rather maybe Al

Al?

Al Jazeera
Al Nasiriyah
Algebra
or alcohol
Iraq will be the death of me
One way or another or all

 

So, sing silly songs

And join dance alongs

 

Holy Roman crucifixion cross
Lasagna spicy marinara sauce
Dribble lay-up basket toss
Holy Roman crucifixion cross

 

The Anxious Lake is calling

The golden light shining
The water Glass-smooth
A southern howl in the distance
what Complaint for life
The lake is incomplete
Without the anxious rider whizzing past
Perfect.. too perfect it seems
The whole cosmos swirled

From a bang, 13 billion years of entropy

And evolution

All just for this moment, now
swirled perfectly for the peaceful lake
Swirled perfectly for the anxious rider

 

Because he’s a Postmodern Man

 

a postmodern man:
A man for the new Millennials
I'm updated now or in an hour or remind me tomorrow
I'm binary sex and binary code
I'm mobile uploaded and nomadically downloaded
I'm a Vanlifer with a tiny house
And I digitally work from my professional Esty platform
I hate neo-Nazis and 99’ers
I pledge dollars on Gofundme
And chill with Netflix to cum, see
I compost and dot com
And I construct to destruct
I volunteered at Water Aid
And Watered at Construction Aid
My mom's got cancer
my dad's got cancer
And eliminating GMOs is the only answer
I terraform and drone perform
And I have subscribers and patrons and my blogs erase cultural dividers
I have like and dislikes
And I help the planet when I ride my bikes
I use solar panels and wind and space shuttle enamels

and you can view all this on my YouTube channels
Plant powered, with family leave paid by the hour
and I use collected rainwater when I shower
