asylum rum the death of communication language seeps in to the soil with purulent snow spilled drink cola soggy cigarette filters reject mind candy the death of the individual individuality is pulled apart like a five winged butterfly in a child's fingers each day a new genius is exposed and turns into dusty and particles simply i desperately try to hide my small pot belly in my crooked man's bed frame from women i pass everyone must do some thing the dearth of religion like a child who outgrows the festooning borders of canterbury or grimm fairy tales the death of genuine emotion it has been replaced with medication the only two shades of man now (at least the latter mentioned) the unmedicated and the medicated the only battle to be fought now on america's gentle soul is the was of the cigarettes- how many are you smoking? war of the alcohol how much do you drink? war of the drugs was of popularity war of the genitals but the right kind of pill can fix all my nurse just changed my wristband art is dying, not evolving who cares less bullshit to muddle us smiling or upset sitting or laying down standing pacified in our rooms sober and wielding a chic acerbic abstemious warhol wit painfully mutilated into tongue in cheek bored pacifism i rebel only with indifference i've started medication or else they won't let me out of the can dying generations squeeze their eyes closed in dismay rather to be with memories than with false reality sugar drawn and dressed in the latest styles let them die our lives are devoid we are well groomed livestock set aside to dawdle and dwindle from windows watching sky pull smoke like the collective breath from thousands groaning silent white plaster walls style for men to get a shape removed from their skull in the shape of a puzzle piece like a tattoo they are then without personality they are blanched imitations of human beings do vaguely human things don't understand any of life still cups of water on the table voices murmur halls laughter behind doors that dries out the brain white tennis shoes linoleum white window polite hired souls to wipe rust and earwigs from the ripe brain stuck splinters wig under bush strictly a writer lost in the smokestack lift flex skies mouth walked ajar past bad soured wine and oil mixture rotten tooth smiles lips chewing bit of enamel crumble mixed saliva stain cloth paranoid mocking smiles kind to conceal gossip lust paranoid brain ugly wire silt to describe a wall with fervent emotion and cracker jack prizes when the food was eaten by mouths in the ground the savant became swollen with blood and walked into the famine where was speared open and his blood walk guzzled mouths dust to drop digging in the earth years in the same place to find plant watermelon send miles into salt water the ground peal lies open june peel stth leits open with a spoon a hateful war rages between two men trying to kill each other with ad to dseun san crumb it well to ekilchtohe r wesff collapse two men to trying is to kill each other vengefully with paper bags and become more ravenous with each failed attempt lay back small face in my throat mute scream digestive grunt incorrect punctuation sentence

remove do not add he was unfortunate i've seen beyond the alchemy and its impossible to put into words all things being change without warning and at any given time all things being are themselves in addiction to something else where there exists a shoe there exists a lightbulb a lip a torn leaf and words without spelling meaning or designation flow unravel like the leaves of a tree in oscillation every slightest sensation to each component comprising can be conducted into words and letters can be conducted into mosiacs lifes strange describing and let it go let it die like yourself, let it go despite incredibly vain simpleton harmless lunatic content for hours listening clock seconds beating inside dim lit ward room listening to mozart a few pills to the wind bad poetry celine proust started anti depressants and if i ever had words blood to be given they have dried out like leaves in autumn to perceive life as they request of you means that a chair is only a chair and the sun sanctioned wants passing molds as dead as they seem and your art is as bad as your afraid it might be head spins aria full fatigue triumphs over my sleeping body abd wgen i awake on the outside ill feed my medication to the birds and play with a stone in an alley with alfred jarry- far words drawn from impression they draw from the brain the drawing fish brain from the valley filled with rain tree grasp soon dark knits watch was hassled by his boss at work cry couldn't afford eyesight doctor never spoke but had an imagination like a tiny furnished kitchen innocent was the mindless slave of
