The reason
to be embarassed
watching the white kid
play the black kid
is the reason to cringe
when your daughter
dreams of vampires
& the reason
you only put
the words of others
in your mouth
& spent your best years
chasing reflections
of reflections
which is the reason
that builds nations
of people not admitting
that not even
your best friend
or your own mother
or your very own partner
can hurt
where you hurt
how you hurt
& there isn’t
a damn thing
any of us can do
about that.

working man






“Divine Absolute!

Your shape
framed by angles
like prime numbers

Divisible only
by themselves
and the One

O Glorious Magnitude!

Anything less tangible
would lack
the gravity
to make our world
so deliciously flat

Judge! Jury! Executioner!!

Sculptor
of comfort zones

Architect
of paradigms
& status quo

The soft squishy world
of Meritocracy
shall be
our foundation

The only remaining distinction
being that
of 1 & 0

Their lives
will be like
those hardly noticeable
lines in the background
of a masterpiece

They will want
no more
than to accentuate.”

And so on. The others were careful to control their facial expressions as they watched the man kneeling on the asphalt give the dilapidated building an impressive erection.

A*a* would describe scenes like this to people on the street but no one believed him. “When’s the last time you saw the horizon?” No answer. Stockholm syndrome he called it when the dark places in your head become part of the landscape. But no one listens when they’re comfortable. He didn’t help telling them he had apotemnophilia.
“I am God’s little flower,” he said during his spot on Search for the Real. “He loves me. He loves me not.” **am was a working man after all.
