Today I dreamt that I’d crapped my pants off. Yes, pants full of warm, steamy poo down around my ankles. The kind of poo that comes out of you like toothpaste from a tube.
Being an optimist, I googled what good things this could mean. Scrolling through dozens of sites revealed meanings from ‘Problems with money should be anticipated’ to ‘Your financial status will significantly improve in the near future’.
Naturally, none of these happened. I’m a performing circus chimp with clown pants. I don’t need money, just a nice big banana to provide that extra roughage my diet needs.

how much do you really know
is it enough to get by in life
is time the la peau de chagrin
upon which you can make your mark
they say this is the way
can a shrine replace the shrunken heart
how heavy is your dedication
do you wish to join the holy bores
or master self emdr
they say this is the way
it’s your choice to go or stay
have you never seen a kisser
kill off his darlings out of spite
is god the trauma in religion
are you the hearth that warms the home
it’s your choice to go or stay
tomorrow begins today

authenticity
gets killed by degree
behind each smile’s treachery
i wish my face wasn’t this
that you would see me
