fringe selvedges

Speeding along
Destiny’s road
I find the answer
For a question
Strangely foretold.

San Francisco 2011

Senselees
And stupid
And wickedly unkind
Is the nature
Of living
In today’s jungle
Of mind.

Port Chester NY 2011

When danger
Looks
Around to
You
A calm
Demeanor
Can see you
Through.

Rye NY 2011

Intelligence dives
Deeply within
Dragging and screaming
Your negative
Twin.

East Rutherford NJ 2011

Painfully aware of
My presence
Of pain
I violently
Thrash away
All intelligence that
Remains.

Perfecting my
Patience
Unexpectedly pertains
To my violence
And hatred
Now ceremoniously
Deranged.

Manhattan 2011

Finding my past
Replayed
Like a game.

Developing my future
Restrained
By my name.

Understanding my present
Betrayed
By the same.

Figuring my now
Delayed
By my shame.

Las Vegas 2011

Train yourself
Not to
Stain yourself.

Remain yourself
Don’t just
Refrain yourself.

Gain yourself
By trying to
Change yourself.

Claim yourself
Never, ever
Blame yourself.

Courchevel
La Perrière, France 2011

Terrible dark thoughts
Drain into
My soul.

Incredibly hard fought
My soul’s essence
Its goal.

Painfully, they’re bought
With my innocence
Its toll.

Standing outside
The world below
Is the nature of learning
What God has bestowed.

Courchavel, FR 2011

good for you
good for bad
badness bends
thoughts
to you.

good for naught
bad has bought
evil thoughts
bending
from you.
