-live life masked and your death shall elude you

(13" x 16")

-i laughed and i laughed

I laughed and I laughed
though the organization that runs the inner workings
of my sanity
is relatively understaffed
quick to anger and quick to plant roots
on unmanageable land
i am a master of my craft
and seismologists are masters of their craft
and this world runs on everybody elses Nystagmus
didn't we know that?
when do we learn
that some gifts are better left unwrapped?
(when I was a kid, my favorite writer was R.L. Stine
look how i turned out)

-brush your teeth once in a while

Bloody Gums:

-going to the beach

is it not enough, that i should spend my whole life tethered
a bird so sad, it managed to pluck out its own feathers
I wrote a letter
and fed it to my fan
and barely managed to keep my fingers unscathed

-i am so ashamed

the neanderthal's nonlinear plight, do the math
their skin and flesh
i am so ashamed
to have deviated from their path
my skin and flesh
our common baggage
our flesh and bone
they threw spears and stones
and me, i just throw fits and get stoned
