in these trying, hypernormalized times our subconscious needs a break sometimes. that's what lovely poetry you'd never share with anyone you actually know is for. angry about trump? prepping for nuclear war? sick of hypernormalization? just want to write lovely words? maybe a chunk of prose?

this is the thread for you!

here's my first garbage attempt. it was somewhat satisfying.




I wonder about their worlds. Each perspective, each different reality, each set of fundamental facts. Do they know the things I know? Cold they begin to imagine, by following my daily existence, the framework on which I operate? Could I divine theirs? And when our universes clash, what then? Triumph in objective victory - public acceptance of irrefutable defeat - private, grudging conviction of subjective righteousness.

"It's real to me" I weakly insist.
Privately, I harbor my suspicions.
Some fictions are hard to dispel.

We first noticed it when our cell phones stopped working.
A failed tweet was our canary in the coal mine.
"It's just a service outage - a temporary blip!"
We concluded - consciously ignorant of our different carriers.
When our internet was also down, speculation abounded.
Didn't we have redundant satellites? More deep sea cables?
Hundreds of ICANN servers?
The web was wound thick around our world.
Its warp and weave wound too thickly to unravel.
All it took was a woof.

The Devil walked into Linebaugh's on a rainy Nashville night
While the lost souls sat and sipped their soup in the sickly yellow neon light.
And the Devil, he looked around the room, then got down on his knees.
He says, "Is there one among you scum who'll roll the dice with me?"


Red, he just strums his guitar, pretending not to hear.
And Eddie, he just looks away and takes another sip of beer.
Vince, he says, "Not me, I'll pass. I've had my share of hell,"
And scribbling on a napkin, some song he was sure would sell.


Ronnie just kept whisperin' low to the snuff queen who clutched at his sleeve.
And somebody coughed -- and the Devil scoffed -- and turned on his heel to leave.
"Hold on", says a voice from the back of the room," 'fore you walk out that door.
If you're lookin' for some action, friend, well, I've rolled some dice before."


And there stood Billy Markham, he'd been on the scene for years,
Singin' all them raunchy songs that the town didn't want to hear.
He'd been cut and bled a thousand time, and his eyes were wise and sad,
And all his songs were the songs of the street, and all his luck was bad.


"I know you," says Billy Markham, "from many a dark and funky place,
But you always spoke in a different voice and wore a different face.
While me, I've gambled here on Music Row with hustlers and with whores,
And, hell, I ain't afraid to roll them devilish dice of yours."


"Well, then, get down," says the Devil, "just as if you was gonna pray,
And take these dice in your luckless hand and I'll tell you how this game is played.
You get one roll -- and you bet your soul -- and if you roll thirteen you win,
And all the joys of flesh and gold are yours to touch and spend.


But if that thirteen don't come up, then kiss your rear end goodbye
And will your useless bones to God, 'cause your goddam soul is mine!
"Thirteen?" says Billy Markham. "Hell, I've played in tougher games.
I've loved ambitious women and I've rode on wheel-less trains.


So gimme room, you stinkin' fiend, and let it all unwind.
Nobody's ever rolled a thirteen yet, but this just might be the time."
Then Billy Markham, he takes the dice, and the dice feel as heavy as stones.
"They should, they should," the Devil says, "'cause they're carved from Jesus' bones."


And Billy Markham turns the dice and the dice, they have no spots.
"I'm sorry," says the Devil, "but they're the only dice I got."
"Well, poo poo," says Billy Markham. "Now, I really don't mean to bitch,
But I never thought I'd stake my roll in a sucker's game like this."


"Well, then, walk off," says the Devil. "Nobody's tied you down."
"Walk off where?" says Billy Markham. "It's the only game in town.
But I just wanna say 'fore I make my play, that if I should chance to lose,
I will this guitar to some would-be star who'll play some honest blues,


Who ain't afraid to sing the words like drat or poo poo or gently caress
And who ain't afraid to put his rear end on the stage where he makes his bucks.
But if he plays this guitar safe, and sings some sugary lies,
I'll haunt him till we meet in hell -- now, gimme them fuckin' dice."


And Billy Markham shakes the dice and yells, "Come on, thirteen!"
And the dice, they roll -- and come up blank. "You lose!" the Devil screams.
"But I really must say 'fore we go our way that I really do like your style.
Of all the fools I've played and beat, you're the first one who lost with a smile."


"Well, I'll tell you somethin'," Billy Markham says. "Those odds weren't too drat bad.
In fourteen years on Music Row, that's the best drat chance I've had."
Then, arm in arm, Billy Markham and the Devil walk out through Linebaugh's door,
Leavin' Billy's old beat-up guitar there on the floor.


And if you go into Linebaugh's now, you can see it there today
Hangin' from a nail on that wall of peelin' gray
Billy Markham's old guitar...That nobody dares to play.

along this poo poo road, signs preach the come of the end;
corporations are people, in that they gently caress you, my friend.

life is medusa so keep your eyes off the snakes,
An IHOP which serves you fresh blueberry hot-Takes.

the feds nabbed the bundys, who can't get convicted,
no one got the prez anyone had predicted.

cuz the temperatures too high
driving way too fast
and i knew our lovin
was too hot to last

she's smooth
like ice, cold to the touch
and isnt very nice when you're left
alone, let her treat you bad
leave you hangin on the phone
take off, shove your loving on the wheels
put the pedal to the floor cause you're heading for the hills
gotta get away, cant take it no more
man you don't need this, leave her at the door

Don't worry son, it's just the Smilin' Mighty Jesus!

The most unnatural unknown detest.
Some stupid strange pathetic pointless dread,
That through this hopeless spiritual quest!
Whose words were never way too far ahead.

A while with wretched conscience contemplating,
No one would suffer from apocalyptic!
Who had confused existence slightly straining,
For fear as though not being optimistic.

Thought was wrong to possibly confide!
But there is something yet so very tragic,
A dreadful disappointment brushed aside!
How could these thoughtless thoughts become dramatic.

Blinded by a helpless hesitation,
The hopelessness of uncontrolled frustration.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Boss makes a dollar

That's why I poop
