SONGS
Nuclear waste in my front yard
Four million pounds of radioactivity
Sitting a stone's throw away
Pools holding back pillowing waves
Cranes cradling layered casks
Decommissioned, being demolished

Myth of Sisyphus
Absurdity is a state of mind I crawled into
But I still try looking for a preface by Camus
Thatll tell me I’m being illogical
By looking for a way out.

Protecting my Peace
I am boring. I protect too much of my peace
By never doing anything but drink,
Or stay home and sleep away my time alone.
What kind of person does that make me?
Boring.
I forgot how to be kind to strangers.
I forgot how to assume the best of their intentions.
I fear them and don't let them close.
No new friends. Isolation preservation.
Rude.

GAS! GAS! GAS!
Today I donned a gas mask.
I had to take my glasses off
For a closer fit.
I felt secure in the thick rubber
Behind the canisters
Even though one of mine had
A pacific blue patch
Indicating prior use.
In the chamber my eyes stung
And my throat dried.
Like it was shrinking
Sinking up into my
Quickly clearing nose.
The gas
Hurt and relieved
Simultaneously.
My face raw it glowed.

Consummation
She doesn’t bite
When she eats me.
She doesn’t chew
On my insides.
She eats me like
A snake considering
A round mouse,
Flicks of her tongue
Rest on me and
I try not to jump.

On Being On
I hardly have anything to say
It's not that I’m too shy
to share my mind
(Ok actually I am)
But it never gets to that point
Because I never have anything
In my head
In the first place
I sit and think but
my mind goes nowhere
And holds onto nothing
I sit blank in the nothing
In my room after work
On the couch facing the TV
That isn't turned on
I think me and the screen
Are the same
We ourselves hold nothing
of entertainment value
Unless filled with current
Electricity eccentricity
Connected to outside
I envy the TV
I can't seem to figure out
How to flip my switch
I'm not holding the remote
But sometimes
A few beers in
A backlight within me
Sprays polarised rays
Onto my tongue
And I have words to share
And I am on
