Pre '93

Forever Never Home

Old friends, new friends, friends of friends

come play amongst conjurings

of threatened value

surf waves of projection, deception

messy hair, don't care

filter out that rank stain

on the left sleeve of the room

all are invited within

the world disconnects to connect.

Hideous Hidey-Holes

Crimson secrets of codependency

soak beige carpet

unwavering winds of opinion

bravado strong enough to

blow your house down

truth or lie, it's all the same within

the blind-aligned-brigade

friend, you've been dropped

next in queue.

In Becoming

Bleed out. Splash joyously

tear a page and watch establishment

Holy Vein Print Press

a kaleidoscope of perspectives

every moment of every version of every you

past, present, yet to come

infinite you, unlimited choosing

immersion inversion grey-scale

mean without average

center yourself in a world off-center.

Finding Home

Scorned by those unwilling to see

themselves looping, lazy

in their desperation for change

a child refusing dessert, projecting

their frustration onto those lesser

a keystone species, ants regroup to rebuild

tapping into their polytheistic nature

bridging beyond the self.

Rebirth

Rinse, rebound, repeat

sliced, exposed and branded

sneaky oppression celebrated in mass

conceding, anew requires contribution

flex your voice

join the chorus of barking strays

howl for that which cannot be unknown

your forever home isn't bound within structure

even the unfortunate will be found and find

it's never too late.
