Rather than block up the board with lots of little 1-2 post threads, i'll show myself here. Input would be gratefully accepted.

Ahem.

when the young
so insecure
every emotional
there are no boundries
in love the first time
rejection depression
making that pivotal decision
the safety of a couch
i remember not remembering much

etheral images

plan your escape route
between the sheets
woman serves up her lover for dinner

~ ~ ~

old man
last roll
cast your memory back
breathlessly realise
the end of a persona

~ ~ ~

my anguish
sultry
inviting
mute
yet crisp
so engulfed
it's genetic
it's a problem with my diet

More.

a design to be built
narrative of dead ends
concealed spaces
forgettable portraits
we're not as different as we used to be

larger than life
it's sex
it's everywhere

~ ~ ~

a woman called
asked to audition
no plans
no dramas
no masks
no skeletons
she doesn't wait for my answer
whatever comes next

~ ~ ~

wet
eager
ready
starved for sex
loud and raunchy
return to decadence
'Tremendous Life Satisfaction'

Another WTC

the way we were
as safe as we thought
what are the chances
quite unprepared
search faces
notice behaviour
acutely aware
the actions of a few
condemn a nation

WTC

~ ~ ~

god is invoked
who will save us this time
judging from the aftermath
homeland security
civil libertarians suspicious
armed guards with grenades
soldiers on city streets
enlisting sentries
maintaining checkpoints
the kind of security we need
police line do not cross

there is no one here
none
no one

where
a place in time
of
state of us
status
us
alone
all of us
alone in the herd of the sheepeople
how to stand so
oh so
high
above
a god below god
we are all of what we are
the sum of us
of me
and you
and you
and her and him and her
all the people
him there
her here
here
wherever we all are

If a man could understand all the horror of the lives of ordinary people who are turning around in a circle of insignificant interests and insgnificant aims, if he could understand what they are losing, he would understand that there can only be one thing that is serious for him - to escape from the general life, to be free. - G.I. Gurdjieff

hiv-positive
threat ignored
death toll rising
we are carrying around what no one knew we had

anger normal
anguish cleansing
confessing angst and insecurities
promises promises
how obsessively

But I like the incovenience
But I don't want comfort
I want God
I want poetry
I want real danger
I want freedom
I want goodness
I want sin
I'm claiming the right to be unhappy

Aldous Huxley

I am, first and foremost, unequivocally, an individual.

[La Luna Unita]

actually, you might like e.e. cummings, too. Depending on what time period you get of his, there's some beautifully structured love poetry, a lot of what almost seems like stream of consciousness, and later on, a lot of political satire-type stuff.

"Shall I then weep? I cannot; I have no tears left within me.
I can only throw my body upon the indifferent ground
And let it mourn noiselessly." - Hecuba, from Euripides' Trojan Women
