Amnesia Sounds Inviting - 01-21-07

They should sell sadness
Like sidewalk salesmen
Rather than hustlers
Looking for a penny
But all I have for them is pity
And for the officers
On the street corner
Talking amongst eachother
Basking in their love
For the hierarchy
Maybe tonight I’ll rebel
And become their King
Wearing bruises like eye shadow
In a city so desperate for sleep
It’s like a sickness
The type that tickles my gag-reflex
Like the aspiring actress
In her first low-budget film
“If daddy used to touch me there,
then why can’t everyone else?”
Because we like to call ourselves stars
Rather than lay with our backs to the ground
connecting dots in the sky
Like the lovers we ought to be
And never again wake in a sweat
From this so-called “American dream”


"I'm a nihilist. I don't believe in anything. Not even nihilism."

Hmm. A satire, or commentary? Well either way, it fused together quite well. Angst, rebellion, and romance all in one!? Yes, those are my favorites. Perhaps, I am missing the message.

This is your resume for a poet: nonconformity meets hopeless romanticism. You are hired my friend. Share more please. Thank you for writing this and allowing everyone to read.

It's more of a commentary. It was inspired by a midnight bus stop in New York City. I began by writing about all the bums that kept bugging me for change, and the group of police officers just standing around talking... And then it sort of evolved into a commentary on power and how we've become somewhat disconnected... I don't know... hope that sheds a little light.

i liked it.

it starts out seeming to be something it is now, the ideas and lines are well connected and bring about a sense of....conclusion... of being fulsilled...

its also seemed to me to be allegorical...

That made absolutely no sense.


Homosexy?
