strangers
i want to be friends with my neighbors.
or-maybe
it's just
their empty glowing kitchen.
reminds me of someone you love
half awake in a hospital.
familiar and faraway
all at once.
wine glasses hang upside down.
a quiet army of clinking smiles and glassy eyes
waiting,
for me.
crowded photographs live on the fridge.
i squint through my reflection
trying not to see shadowed lines.
my cheeks
they seem to sag now.
close the curtains.
imagine my picture there.

sleeping dogs
i tiptoe around this lonely house of dogs breathing
i listen to them listening
watch a light on the wall
horizontal and blurry
some film still
about empty lives and lost love
i want to shake myself from this cliche
but my pee echoes into a strangers toilet
and i'm here.
next door sounds
like tumbling buckets
broken pipes,
swampy well.
it's too late for renovations
i think of bad things
men in masks
sticky puddles
empty buckets
rusted pipes
while dogs sleep
i listen to them listening
watch a light on the wall
horizontal and blurry
some film still
about empty lives and lost love

90027 LA, 2009"Life moves pretty fast.
You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
R.I.P. John Hughes
dwntwn LA, 2009
it's the inbetweenies,
the whats and thoses.
lost POWs in this desperate city
shopping carts are tanks
PBR cans vs. Charles Shaw
sound like
swords.
it hurts.
i just want to go home.
but home is full of traffic lights,
too loud
voices form words smothered in sentences
i choke.
underwater earsache,
i cling to
a girl washing dishes
in flat, white shoes.

When I was younger...
I was healthier,but I was
racked with insecurity.Now I'm older, my problems are deeper,
but I'm... more equipped to handle them.-Before Sunset

times are a-changin'
"Young people and members of minority groups were disproportionately unprepared, Nielsen said. While 2.2 percent of all homes were not ready as of Sunday, 4.6 percent of African-American homes and 3.6 percent of Hispanic homes were unready."

razor blades and dice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers,
thunder and lightning in his thighs"

You know what I need
Who doesnt lie?
You know what I mean
If Im never in
Without you
Like you dont know
I am so, angry
I am so, at ease
I feel just like
Some great big disease
I think you need
Ice water
But the only thing that
You really hate
Is all its emptiness
Ah, youll swim
And I will drink myself to
Death
If Im never in
Down with you
Like you dont know
Still in love

Does life only have meaning if I give it meaning? I am a small, insignificant organism who is alone in an absurd, arbitrary and capricious world where my life can have little impact, and then I die. Is this all there is?
