              the worm has no appeal
                  ) Keep Coming (
                                                                 the pressure has made this stay
                  show potential...attention
                          desire
                     -KEEP COMING-
                but get out of the way
          
  I'm In your frustrated Grasp
                                                               I need to know your the last
                    THE LAST

         Did my  BENIGN punishment
        make you think of coma's
             of careful citizen -  Reaction
     dont ponder  time as if you had some control
            Just sway January  then let go

live by light by  slavery   do whatever normal
            people do    
                
   you HAVE A PURPOSE   you are     not                a       (MISTAKE)    
            off course
     the life was not  led in wait

                 Will you develop me
       then i could  see       and not    be seen
            
  no    skills           except lack of mind
          That which is not  hard to find
               unique as a light bulb
             dimmer and thinner

          they wont care about this moment         they wont care and they wont showit

  How does this feel    and  why does it feel  
  
          how do i express this detachment

  ( -  in      a   airless  sanctuary       - )
              thats how

         how can i express this empty

(aare you really being paid enough tooo care)

           healthy     too l
         the healthy tool                      

attract       to       what attacks you
                        
the recovering addict of   a recovering  obsession                has met the end

    full of bad views built upon  good news...the walking vegetation encloses  over him  

      this is my surprise  

i so dread the     real tides

           know       to laugh
              i know to laugh

          gold digging      great design
            
    old men  listing  their
last breath          in the phone book or online
    
     to whomever   this concerns
    to whomever runs to wolves to escape the bear

                  
      to those      that feel low  and lower    
            invest in world wide decay
                its the only way

i  leave    can      never  believe the  relief

is everywhere th at  i've never been                
          

  no tattoos
                                                                   no piercings

             (  And the birds fly  )
             (  and the birds fly   )
(i now know why
the
birds fly   )                                                                                                                                                                                           no absence        no reliance
    can it be possible   can this be true
     everything you are and have ever been
          can be confined to pa per      and pen ?
                                                                                                                    admiring a pretty     woman  
   admiring        a        pretty  weapon         \\\\\there is no difference
                                                                                          
  HAS anyone considered    the devil     is just god on a big bad   day          admiring our way  
    
              no gothic desires      
             nothing keeping you up at night
                                      

  it seems everything can kill you
                              
             but it wont       \
        
      torn by blades       the world and its blades
              but
im just as happy as a steamed lobster  
                       i will birth the beetle

make this        trouble with sleeping  (fake smile and all)
               avoid        all the  work      
      if im appealing   tell me  force feed     it     to me
       and watch me change          for what its worth
        (meet Jordan    meet filth       watch them procreate   and drown in their pills  and pot       for   whine they will not)
material found
             the other world decoration   FOUND

           the feel good  formation
         a   life of smoke      a life of provoke

no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate

wow...this is INTENSE...I like the format, like thoughts that drift and yet connect--sort of a lifethought begging to make sense of the senseless...and btw, if I am WAY off the mark of your intent? I always said, what a reader interprets says more about the reader than the poet OR the poem. But many smiles, I like this...it reminded me a bit of an addict's last rambling (please smile and see above) Enjoyed.

I have to ask this, because I referred to a "Jordan" in my poem Passage posted in Crit,
I was referring to Jordan the famous british page 3 model. I was just curious, if that was your Jordan.
Ok now that I got that out of my system, I think I say wow, this is very refreshing and powerful piece of poetry. One for the library.
