oubliette blues [12.18.2012]

"this is winter for sure", Ol' Man Gutter says, squinting from the juxtaposition of hazy sunlight through leaveless and fir, kicking dust into my downcast visage.
there seems to always be something advancing from the darkness. something that cannot be stopped. and like ants scurrying futility from an enormous god-shaped shoe, we engage in our jittery primal dance of avoidance.
that shoe has a name, and that name is NATURE.

 

oubliette blues [12.7.2012]



….hell is this if this is hell if hell is hell….

even discerned by the ghosts in my cheap headphones. screeching, howling through the corners of my salt-encrusted mouth when the fucking sun tells my enflamed gut that it’s eggs&bacon fuck-you time. after sleeping in a frigid field littered with the desiccated remains of mustard beetles and out-dated porn. nostalgia, which is Greek for “you just don’t fucking get it, do ya?”

I once lived in a fear-cage. it was called exuent, which is Latin for “asshole that lives in a fear-cage.” I would take long walks along the college hipster sluiceway and peer existentially over Cache le fucking Poudre.

once, I heard an owl from across the street. a fucking owl, hooting like something out of a Hammer Film. I didn’t sleep for weeks.



…like a ripe fruit exploding in slow motion. like a Viking funeral on a lavish yaught. like a crime scene captured in brilliant pastels. like 7 jokers in a deck of 35. like a random function on a coffin. like an ellipsis in Braille. like a sunset viewed through night-vision goggles. like an all-expense paid vacation to Chernobel. like I give a sequential number of fucks where this is all going…



I feel it right in my fucking glands. the ones that tend to get cancerized. the ones that the predators enjoy the most. the softest ones.
