useless beside

Unlock the door and the words come pouring out
So very important and meaning little
Can we crush and control by allusion
The outcome we fear to desire

Notebooks full to drought and envy
Chains built in links unrolling in meters
Pretending to deceive a comfortable anger
Does the work of opening windows uncover

And put away the real hiding reveal

Casting shadows and echoes behind leaders
Following those that fell before in calm urgency
Sit across from the world changing impresario
Surprised to find the desire to fall forward

Perpetuation stronger than leaping except memory
Short term loss in the ignorance pattern design
Another page full of cheap juxtaposition
And nothing strutting signifying something

  2. Writing for the sake of writing. Placing words together which shouldn’t be together or thought together. The piece is meant to confound and persist.

  3. In terms of anger, I’m always angry about something. Angry with myself, angry with the world for disappointing, angry with myself for being disappointed, angry that there is disappointment. I bet there is a poem in there… at least lyrics to a adolescent angst filled tune.
