Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

Sequence for ailing and repetitious
No need for spoil, you are not made unclean by me -
I have not yet, and needs must not for everyone's sake,
returned to hustling;
I can only imagine how nauseating
is such necessity
to all for whose towers even gargoyling is no luxury-
---
I prefer burning stock
if I have to be in New York
never setting still
burgeoning sun or letting
you get to me
never knowing if I'm known-
---
I tell you this heart to heart
the best part of living is falling apart
---
Lover, love is an awful thing
if you wish it had never been
we might as well take the dive
before tomorrow passes by-you'll never know
I'll never feel: fantasy we wished
forged to real/coerced confession prance
regrets not worth remembering-
the whole is dank as an oil spill
lips' pitch blood as ink, so far gone
for good, forth steal
---
No need to wretch, straining towards revolver;
yu are not made unclean by this kiss, understanding, or dismissing:
I have not once-and needs must not for all man's weal-
woken to hustle of day, signified might; I can only imagine
how nauseating is such discrepancy
to those for whom going hungry is just another luxury-
I run
You are the answer
is it safe to question
temprature of tone as
omnipresent simplification respecting
your time that says
blase thievery, pinwheel buckle
trustworthless so so
begging for gracias
punctually driven to
master the wall
it's not you
it is you
I'm crying for
would you please
let me die
ask me for
a light and let me not
have a clue
how to breathe
into you life anew
but I try
Dancling
No one ever told you life wasn't going to be easy
so you thought you didn't have to work
or want to stay alive
everybody cows when dreams lead to disaster
recognition out from darkness is of growing laughter
fear of lie expected flaunted while liar slept, haunts;
who dares own our regret?
preempt looking into eyes, intentionally mystifying
coming stainlessly sheened in projectile self
hands on fist-worldy skin, brooked and part
dervish, crown scrounged from earth
adorned by percolators
Mutters absent/blindly
When lightning binds
fantasy in eyes
to the hope
we'll never die
wrap in rope
down periscope
throat's fantasy
punctures trope
afear'd that unrelenting
march to freedom tinged
vainly, dying of escape
from bountiful blessed, I singed
and strain to keep
lest love ever speak
desirously of what we're made
but that can never be
