Testing My Thoughts

Blown out

We are meant to write down something beautiful
and stain the pages red.
But all I have is a white page
with scratches in blue pen.

The scratches won’t amount to anything;
They don’t mean a thing.
They won’t ever mean a thing.

I can’t write a poem in scratches;
They can’t make a sound.
I want to make a sound.
Just let me make a sound.

The woods

Leave the bed
Leave the apartment.
It’s out there
and you know it.

You no longer own a body
You no longer own a mind.

You are a tiny scream
in a hollowed out shell.

Don’t scream.
Don’t.

Let it out and you’ll go
Where all the screams go
Where all the tears go.

Don’t scream.

Don’t disappear.

it took me 8 hours. I wrote 7 poems today. But I got something out of it. I really like this last one.

Tesla and the likes

Let’s follow the crazies into oblivion.
The people
who can only stay in hotel rooms divisible by three.
They say crazy things
and then the sane listen.

We let mankind be run by the defective
and then wonder
why the world
is going to
shit.

Nirvana

Nail headphones to my skull,
and I’ll listen forever.
A good song sucks me in
and zombifies me.
There is nothing better
than not thinking.
It’s the greatest feeling in the world.
It’s Nirvana:
Someone should tell the monks
that the first time you listen to your favorite song
is the closest to God
                               You’ll
                                            E V E R

I’ll never talk to you

Being beautiful must be strange, girl.

You’re part of an alien race

That came here to be worshipped.

I want to idolize you.

Take it as a complement.

In a 10 second glance,

I created a God out of you.

You made my world brighter

for a whole day,

simply by existing.

an animal watching animals watch animals

I went to the zoo,

but not to see the cages.

I don’t feel bad for some of those animals.

The bear doesn’t care that humans are watching it.

Food magically appears,

Why care about anything else?

The monkeys even laugh at us;

They mock us

and then we give them food.

I’d be laughing too.

Put me in a cage,

and I’ll be your penguin.

I’ll dance around,

I’ll flip.

Just keep giving me fish.

take a lesson from the deer

If you ever watch a deer graze,

All it does

is eat grass.

It may look up at you for a second,

and if you get too close,

It will run away from your disease.

But otherwise it eats grass.

It doesn’t understand

why we think there is something more.

And it doesn’t try to understand.

All there is       is grass.
