screaming baby

in the downstairs apartment

(the mother oversensitive

and once requesting

we don't flush the toilet

after 11:00 PM)


she has something else

to keep her up

night and day


ha how sweet


not that I rejoice in my enemy's troubles


but ha how sweet

I'll bet you're sorry

you treated me cheaply

my friend


but your uncompleted

film projects

were just the playing


of a dying man

trying to think he accomplished something

day grows darker

colder too

april 6

the missing spring

hides

in the bak

of trees

God must have loved at one time

someone must have treated Him

badly enough for Him to be driven

to the hardness that He shows His creation


no wonder no one likes Him

who needs to offer love and be treated like shit

only to be small enough to give it back


but then forgiveness was never His strong point

IMBECILES JUST THE WAY GOD LIKES THEM

everybody needs to be led by the hand

no one can think for themselves

(whatever they may think they are about)


why do I waste words on you?

you won't even listen to a wise loved one

preferring to moo in the moonlight


to the one who'll squeeze your teats

and leave them dry while you shout hosannas....

the fruit of action

is its own reward


enjoy your harvest

before the cold and dark


descends on your table

CONDUCT

wills

clean and empty

as machinery

tuned to their function

and heartless

beyond measure


and the noble lies

of cowards and syncophants

making allowance

for these moral-less

psychotics and presuming

to cover all of themselves in judgment


and that is exactly how

judgment destroys us all
