a clear answer
How I learned to stop caring
How I learned to stop daring
How I learned to stop sharing
How I learned to stop baring
my soul
you stole my soul
you know
you know
you know
and you even said so
oh
so low
we go
when we know
whatever the
the next page
delivered around the splintering
barricade
lost in a charade
I played my dragon
kings and queens
sang a song of remorse
the weak fell
the strong survived
ghosts we were
ghosts in the graveyard
ghosts in the gridiron
ghosts on the playing field
a dozen roses around my neck
I fall into the woven sunset
at last
and again
how do i stop believin' in this?
Holy Revelations by WilliamSlatteryPhoto, literature
Literature
Holy Revelations
load
build that castle
explode
with sensation
cause a nation
to begin
spin with fashion
spoil with passion
a natural disaster
waiting for the rumination to layover
the play was over
and so were our ant hills
left for a mountain
above the wasteland
we were monarch butterflies
the pests return
and we become idols
of remorse
vintage
in the basin
in the spin cycle
of flowers and snakes
we took the good with the bad
the happy with the sad
another layover
was this how we would be living
for the half the week
the answer was not to be no
the answer was a profound yess
I guessed right
again
And the reward was like a tre4sured
moment caught in

THIS THYME, OH, THIS THYME
high wire act
was i ever
winding through the dome aloud
and alive
like never before
i was not one to soar
this high
and this quick
ly
this pickininy
reminded me of the hope i conce had
braving the storms
behind in the quarts bones
the minded gnomes
we roamed
we wailed
we found a pail
and a shovel
a small one, we worked with sand
we waited for the rainbows to go away
DECEIVERS
I
was more ready for a bright sunset
and a clouded satellite landed by my side
as the tide
collided
with my spine and mind
heart and soul
I had a goal
I had a reason
to carry him beyond the raging high wire act
the trap, as they sayed

turn. left at the next right light
read 'em all
become a slave to every sentence
sit and ponder
because few ellse will
deliver this
on time
and emptied of claories
broadcast to the nations
and the temptations
of another dagger
buried in my neck
for i was a train wreck
a misplaced apotrophe
a psychedelic catastrophe
a repeated portobello
a casual fella
oh, was he ever
a mistake
oh never
a rebel with a quarter-directed cuel
a collapsing litany
a city under a ocean
was this the lost phantom?
was this waht i herd about a year ago
was I bantering in the hall
was I out of smoggin' lkrons
inks and cartridges
carried me aplunder
I was thrown thru a playing loop
like a trombon

Literature
I ce CREAM dreamz
Anything for anything
this was our pledge
moving at a brisk pace
once again
won again
this game of sirloined swiggler alerts me
alerts be
in a spree
we fleed the scene
of dreams
the liquid generation
the spitfire saloon
I was arriving soon
er
than
I wasn't bvelieveing anything he said
I was a assualter
I was demonstrating
I was a protest
station
lost and tankin'
in this concrete jungle
like a bumble of dirty clothes
layingon the floor
in a pile
made me smile
but not with happiness
not with claims of vicktory
not with a price to be paids
and not without
so what do I say?
I shout
I shout
i shout
I embrace the glory
while accepting
the monsters

learn it all
know ii all
keep pressing that button
every 36 seconds
a minute later
or so it seemed
a bell rang out
a clock ticked
me off
what was new
and what did we know
we know it all
we know how to rhyme
when it is time
when we sat by the creek
we took leak
we took a peek
at the frogs
eating the goldfish
oh, we told you half the story
we told you half the pamphlet
the leaflet
the lord let go
holy smokes
we were a couple of wild ass blokes
we walked
we ran
we took a nap
catapaulted into the collection of cats
growls begin
and I see the answer
Halted spirit
speaks the word.
Not the word I wanted. NotATALL.

Literature
TOUCHEEEEE MY TARP LO MO
climbing the walk line
splintered in a spasm
lost in a catachlysm
boild and brawny
I was a seagull
I was a falling feather
I was a grain in that lobe
Live on the edge
be kind three times
like a liver wurst sandwich
ile a leper shooting a elk
loved by many
adored only in flaming gardens
drawbridge falls
emperor descends
and hits
my head with a log cabin log (the board game)
when we had our way
we lost our way!
it was a odd way of life
exploring the demoins
be what they want
someone has to lead this army
this army of disaster
this critter gnaws at my toes
and I say
TOUCHEEEEEEEEE
amen
halleluijah

i waded into the water
it was lukewarm
i was scared
i was frightened of the sharks
i had heard of them and i was frightened
and the snapping turtles
they would bite me
they would hate me
they woule irritate me
and they did
in my mind ]
this all happened in y mind
like a crime
a pscychological dilemma
a mystery unsettled
I grabbed a raft
I floated
I floated for days and days
or so it seemed
perhaps I was dead
maybe
in a way
but I felt good
everything felt so good
Could I be worse
could I be later
for this party
this awful music
these awful guests
this noise is intolerable
I sat in the corner
I stared at the moon
there was a window
and that window was my world for the evening
I balanced as I stood
but i couldn't actually move
I was asleep
I awoke
and there they were
the better people
the ones playing charades
a new game began
now I get it
now I'm happy
and proud
