  • I Want 

    I Want I want you to hold me inside of you   Like the night sky holds all moons.   I want you to crucify me   with bloody kisses  Like I was the king of the fucking Jews.  I want you to nail me to a cross   Made of the shadows   of my own psychosis.  I just…

    The Death Of Cool I propose that we initiate the death of cool  “The good that men do is oft interred with their bones.”  So let it be with cool.  Let cool go the way of neat-o,  far out, and groovy.  Let’s kill cool.

  • A Season in Heaven 

    A Season in Heaven I was not always who I am now  Once I existed entombed in a sarcophagus  Of rotting meat a malfunctioning synthetic heart of pathos  Sadness pushed sanguine rage through bloodless veins  Then one day I saw one of them  Walk into the room and sit amongst us  Dark haired and dark…
