Will you be there
That’s all I need to know


Distracting a Ranger during a fight never went well for anyone


There’s awkward silence
Then there’s just silence
I wonder which is better


5.13.19

What’s worse
Trusting only
To one day
Be wronged
Or never
trusting
at all


See you in the stars.


We’ll talk and talk
and keep talking
even when it hurts
because if we stop
there’s no talk
or hurt left to
feel anything else
again


Combat tends to sort shit out for us.


Y’all are seeing the signs right?
Trying to provoke China
Or North Korea
or anyone else to hold on
to wartime powers
wear us down so that
we don’t think we can win
because we dont know
how to fight back

5.12.19

What’s in it for women
Who have no say
Over their bodies
Questioned for every
Horrible man’s action
Yet held responsible


How do you battle darkness itself


A dog at my hip
begging for rubs
Brothers and steak
The only one I need
Is on a beach
Still out of reach


All die. Lucky are we who choose when.


I’ll love you in this time
and in the next
Galaxy we reach for


Finally. I was born for this.

My last words were sad and quiet
I love you, be safe, bring your meds
Don’t do anything dumb, that’s my
job to worry, remember I’ll be here
waiting for you in seven days
I did say I love you right
goodnight


He will believe, but we’ll wish he hadn’t


we’ll enjoy these nights of the Grand Tour
and Game of Thrones
before we go our separate ways
and before I forget to say
thank you brother from
another mother
for keeping me upright
when the skies were gray


a full stomach can save a man from slaughter


I wonder if r/roastme
is an insidious plot
to catalog people
on the internet
to match identities
for black kinds of list
I wonder if Drumpf
tries to invalidate the
election or cheats
would he outright
refuse to ceed
would he try
to start a war
to keep away
from inevitable
prison sentences
when he loses
power
just how far
is a narcissist
willing to go
is that the
American
Experiment
just how far
would he go

Or will lacking
healthcare be
what dooms
this society


The anticipation is a part of joy


Asking for a friend
Should one ask
Do me a favor
Don’t beguile
Married couples


British Racing Green
Is a sexy color
Fight me on that


just daydreaming
while i write over here,
so ignore me if you want
but I just came up with
the best-case scenario
in the next ten years:
I wrote the a scene
where you and I could
have cameo rolls if
luck would have it
they ever turned
my story into a
video series doing
what we do best
how we met
just daydreaming
over here

Maybe kid, if you weren’t such an asshole to everyone
You’d be less miserable and less of a misery to be around
But this path will lead to pregnancy at sixteen
Or a short, squandered life of violence and addiction


Who I am fluctuates on what has yet to happen.  None of us are who we will be in the end


One day I’ll be able to explain that
it’s not a teacher shortage you see
but awful parents and feckless
administrators afraid to do what’s
right because it’s hard and
we leave burned and scarred
hopeless and looking for
any kind of meaning again


There’s science to you, we just don’t understand it yet.


You keep disappearing like it’s no big thing
I walk a shaking tightrope over
Sharp rocks upon which I’ll surely shatter
