sometimes I feel like

sometimes I feel like

 

I was raised in the vast grassy valley

between two wor(l)ds:

Ethereal & Substantial

 

caught in a multidimensional crossfire

of

smoky dove whispers and gritty asphalt scrapes

angel trumpet solos and angry shotgun blasts

demonic goosebump tickles and kneejerk needle pokes

light seeping from a crack in clouds

and blood seeping from a puncture of skin

 

sometimes I feel like

the Earth is my splatter-painted egg,

and I’ve yet to be born into my true life;

shown in my true light

 

sometimes I feel like

a disease-carrying flea sucking on a mangy dog

whose bound to shake, scratch or nibble me

from its irritated skin eventually

 

sometimes I feel like

the gravity of my existence

will suck me in at the speed of light

and smash me against these brick wall thoughts

like a bug splats against a speeding car’s windshield

 

most times I feel like I don’t exist at all,

but I could if I’d just learn to

think less of me,

expect less of the experience,

stop being so self-consumed,

and fall happily

with the rest of the trash

dumped from the sky

 

sometimes I still feel like

I can’t change me or anything else

 

it just is

I just am

we just are

 

everybody else seems to be more concerned

about the weather

& the shifting costs of gas, milk and ammunition

You tap into the reality or the lack there of and take me on a ride every time I read your work... I feel serious with a crossed brow intently reading then a smile comes across my face with your raw seduction of the truth..the as is and how dumb can we be moments ... Your amazing and gifted and I love reading your work..xx

[Amy Bumpas]

You tap into a delusional reality of rant and raves...giving us a look
into the sane and insane...good read!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A tight and meandering worded scheme that leaves the reader begginf for more, dream like and saturated in imagery, well done, good read.

[Kenneth The Poet]
