Neurodivergent here. All the disgusting things I do or think on display. Wail away.
You don’t like it. I get it. Be truthful. Be honest with yourself.

I had to be.

And this is fair, make more rules to punish/negate rather than acknowledge/celebrate because fences, around obstacles surround trees climbing cliffs to secret clubs amid whispered oaths…with fingerpaint, koolaid and cellophane sammies in dad-built, small houses.

Good with it and a 1,000,000 more reasons to yet whip out that sheathed numbered plastic after x years in negation. Good. I said good.

Like Nostra-dumbass, written by my dim light. Some of you? No?? Nevermind. You have…enlightenment and couldn’t be more wrong to cast shadows.


If you are put out with me, maybe, one day, I can offer a note from my doctor(s). This is semi-(im)pertinence.

I make poor choices. Get regrets. But, as I age, the less I’ll care. Make…these words…you provoked…with a simple bullet…’if you don’t like it…’ The hole that passes through my soul you feel, adjust for, again and again.

That’s why safe is not a good choice (for me), anymore. Risks with words, with a measure of aim, seek reward. Not here. No, never. I’ll apply myself, listen for their confusion…why…again…(not) him? Why do we do this?

Are we good yet?
How ‘bout now?

Now, right?

Yeah, you say we’re good…

People like me can waste a lot of time cutting through the b.s. How can I know what you mean, if you won’t say what you mean?

Observant, not sexist to say, it’s mostly women. Guys just trash talk, smear. Each is passive-aggressive in their own way.

Sooo….


Short termers are feeding into what the long termers structure for short gain, while robbing our own privileges of promised freedoms...
and you just believed them?! *Laugh* let me think about that. *Cry*
modern day counter culture turning back the clock with no hour hands, as society sent to an acidic bath of primordial ooze.

workshopping that.

I believe I was in the process of contributing to the ghost towns.

Static item deletions begin when I return to uploading on my google DocX.

— just so you don’t expend too much energy on my account.

You don’t give me enough credit. Ironic.

Should have kept me in the loop. I’m loyal to a fault, but require one thing: full disclosure to what I sign up for.

I see your skin caught in the game’s machination. Cringe. Sorry.

Again, talk to me. Either that or block me. I’m a human not your appliance. *Screwdriver*

4.28.24

My words are neither defense nor offense; merely, informed thought that can apply to others. And, don’t want to upset the little ones.


Even after death, a strong echo could be heard. Imagine if I believed I was alive? Shhh, it’s alright. As you lay me down.

The Inhumanity Of Response

Help me turn my brain off.
Go bother someone else.
Will you help me turn my brain off?
Find someone else to bug.
Help, my brain…please turn off.
As if.
Help me. I can’t turn my brain off.
I could hit you. That would make me feel better.
Help. Brain. Won’t turn off.
Help. Moron. Won’t leave us alone.
Help, I can’t turn off my bra-ain.
Oh, you poor, ignorant thing. Nope. Tried. Sorry.
Help me; my brain won’t stop.
And how does that make you feel? Try drugs.
Help, my brain just keeps going.
Uh-huh. Oh, you’re still here? I’ll move.
Help me
turn off
my brain.

Help me? Hello?
This is your conscience. No.
Someone know how to shut off my brain?
I can get ammo…oh, never mind.
My brain keeps running.
Have you tried rebooting? Call tech support.
My brain is in an eternal loop sequence with never ending…
You’ve got the wrong number. *click*
Help me? Brain. Thing. No stop.
Don’t…be…a…baby?
Help me. My brain won’t turn off.
What a bother. Do you believe this guy?
I’m going to lay waste to the earth!
Did somebody hear something?
My brain won’t defuse; particle accelerator is real.
You’ve seen that movie, too? Oh, you?? Not awesome.
Help me; my brain won’t shut off.
Who invited the giant creep? Please leave.
Help my brain still computing. Need help.
What do you expect me to do?
Infernal-loop-brain restructuring me into AI-informed killing machine.
I had that problem once. It goes away.
Help, brain trapped like a refrigerator with its door open.
You need to close it? Duh.
I can’t control brain…it…oh, quiet.
Wait…for…ittttt….

My brain keeps repeating and re-computating. Please help?
Nah. I’m good.
Help me? My brain. That thing keeps happening.
Are you taking your meds? Tried mindfulness?
No one will help me with my brain. Help?
You again. Where’s a hot drink when you need it? Scram!
My brain won’t stop. Help me shut it off.
How much money you got? No? How ‘bout a wood bat?
My brain hurts from overthinking. How do I stop?
You just do. Duh, again.

My brain won’t stop and no one will help.
You’re a big guy.
How’s that help?
No one likes a complainer, then?
Nothing compels to help my addled brain.
Sucks to be you. Bye.
Can you soothe my aching mind? I need a break.
Why didn’t you ask?
I did. Like a thousand times.
Hmm, what? Shh, my show’s on.

Kids. Will you kill me?
Mom said not to. Oh, but not just yet.
Can someone massage…never mind.
What’s on tv? I’ll stream.
Dumb down to one-cell amoeba.
I’ll be one of you. How long was that?
Can someone please tell me…
NO!!!
(Go bother someone else. Shut the door. He’s bumming me out. Why is he so dense? Doesn’t listen to my advice. We have more important things… Just ignore him. Yeah, but it doesn’t work.)
*looks* *hears dialogue*

Persistence versus resistance wins…negativity.
Hard to stay quiet long enough to be noticed.
Can’t utter fake, hollow phrases…
how-ww areee youu-uuh?!

Actually, doesn’t care about anything but purpose for roaming mind, sending scattered, unassembled images into the universe, constantly repeating, reforming, eternal, until brain…just…stops…
But no…not even a little pleasant diversion because…too intense…stoopid…pathetic…bothersome…uninteresting…inhuman….the inhumanity of response.

Fingers tire long before the skull. Then what?!

Can someone do something about the audio? My newsfeed voice isn’t reaching the world.

Right to future revision…can do better…my brain certainly isn’t going to stop…but has all kinds of sideways in every direction…not so much circuitous or boomerang but bouncing from every corner, whack-a-mole style.

Honoring the dead
Honouring ourselves
reincarnate, never die
white angels hover above me
watch me dreaming, scheming
in slow suffication, no choice
but to become one with you,
harpooned, flop-deck-fish-hauled
reel me, reel me,
harder, harder from that depth
like a man who harvests souls
collects the essence, shucks
the husk of a simpleton with no clothes

you say slippery, hard to hold

when i'm dead, when i'm dead
what worth, what worth
after i'm gone?


9.24.23

just off the cuff

hate me BECAUSE i'm beautiful
you can't have my SOUL
not for you, ps
I'm better than they made me
I just don't know it yet.

So, here's your chains back.
I believe I have a deposit? No?

No. What worth am I?

What if truth was a coin and you only had to pick one side?
Do you know your heads from your tales?

let’s play around
with the truth



you don’t know me

         you know
                   things
                             about me

                                       selectively

                                                 only what you want to learn

                                                           BUT, ignore

                                                                     what doesn’t fit
                                                                               in your frame

now I’m over here
who moved me
into the corner?


how do I get
here?
I’ll let you inspect
what is circumspect


you might not like
the answers
I call truth

perspective
not part of your narrative
sits on my side of the table

is that gum under here?



5.27.23

big, Big, BIG conspiracy theorist
for chasing after truth
head-bagged, hauled out
of its home
in the middle of the night

the children always wondered
if dad had run out on them,
a betrayer, or
was mom the enemy?

and other psycho babble

let’s discredit ourself
by being self-deprecating
because we know what lies therein
from the absence of truth

puzzles are more easily
deconstructed
see the picture on the box

constructing word puzzles in the middle of the night

Kidney Shots

Bullies need kidney shots
Be ready to run

But I know
This is not done

I hide
Bide my time
Aware of friendly
Strangers

Aware where it’s safe
Out in the open

Who fights dirty?
Amid new friends
Not at my back
When I see my tormentor

I was brought to you
Unholy. No mercy

Once bled
Never again

Bullies need groin kicks
You get one shot
Don’t hover that heap
Friends aren’t far away

Since the first schoolyard day
Until the last sunset
Aware I’m alone
Aware what body blows do

Having experienced
Since the first bully

Is it Me?
Let’s see, shall we?



5.14.23



Plucksome mood, gravitating higher. With or without, I’m with my tormentor always, thankful for being driven to aimless heights, pointless outcomes, to get through life with purpose like a Truth vigilante. Not meaning to expose the bullies but my right to co-exist…fairly. It’s your failure when the world dehumanizes to give bullies justification for actions and reactions. It’s about: plausible deniability.

Me: it’s all about plausible deniability, am I right?
Bully: what’s that?
Me: exactly.

Does that make me smug? So be it. Not my first rodeo, not the first narrative I couldn’t control.

Having Swooped

I fly into your fan
fly into your fan
into your fan
I fly
toward your fan.

I fly toward you
a swoon, swoop
after I flew
breathing
still inhale

swoop, swoon
in a fragrant redness
in tender tulips
arrival
I re-arrived

by flying to your fan
to your fan
into the window fan
swoop from limb
to feeder

swoop, swoon
swallow
in red clumps
hit the glass
fell, survive

you ask
why won’t I die?

I fly…



5.14.23

Coda: a rehash with perspective

you ask for more
I comply
Fail
Retry
Rest
Not dead, yet…?
Who’s the fool?
99 times, me?

Math is not subjective
does not yield to external factors
unless outcomes are fixed
like clear glass

truth
subjectively hides
on your side



5.14.23

further yet:
you can point to a still breathing bird amid returning flowers in red mulch and question.
it’s a projection of ignorance, delusion and undeniable result
when a plucky bird regroups once it lifts to that limb on the tree outside your home.
Cue a thousand of us: Hitchcock film.

Once bitten,
thirty-two times chewed.

Easily digestible.

No time.
I’ll drink my lunch.

Now I’m not shy,
but bit.

I can easily quit,

view their spectacle
at the trough.

Another poem not fully realized…lifecabd stuff, you know?

In the past 15 seconds
my brain has deceived me,
it leads me, denies me
full access to its process that I
can’t fully retrace footprints of a stained brain
where I store thoughts, like memories
in a short frame,
few store in that microprocessor,
the visual instability, continuously bombarded
in a stable realm, home,
but to the excruciating excitement of the long ride,
to park, walk from lots to airport, tickets, luggage, scan and scan and scan and wand —
jog terminals, scan, plane, cram, overhead and cram,
and squirm and cram and plop.
smells and cries and starvation before the steel cart cuts a swath,
crush hard biscuits’ flavor crammed in the jutted crevices,
suck and suck, sip and savor a soda nursed,
juggle waste and waste time, finally collected

from ascent, distorted mechanical dialogue,
to descent, clutch, hold, hang on, then
wiggle and wobble, tow and toddle and
un-tuna-can, pained legs abide, to the spun luggage,
head spins the spun carousel, until identified,
snatch and grab and haul a lot in a human jam,
to rental lot, vehicle, choose, but route map
to destined vacay rental, turn key, blow hair back,

where brain and me truly get lost,

navigate highway, dull scenery, 15 times infinity in a spin,
when red rock towers, cactus flowers, cicadas hum,
windows down in small town and stop
at a dry river bed, lug and roll behind the cottage.
Luggage contents in strategic locations
and place my lot by the sink, night stand.
we eat, drink wine, I feign relax and to bed strange,
mattress a strange world in stranger fabric not cotton.

How many divisions of 15 endured,
15 more, 15 more, 15 more. Count goes night long.
I hold on. String it together, retrace steps.
But, will I remember where I am, who I am,
the warm woman lying next to me by morn.

15 seconds is a lot from here to there. Despair.
I set a foot forward, toward a nook, turn back.
Look at her form, wonder if I can ask. What got me here?
My motivation? How divest an anxious soul
on sweet vacation. And not spoil this for her,
mated travel companion, so near a hopeful canyon.
The chasm inside a space just like synapses in a slow brain,
breaking speed records without trace. Snapshots.
Pose and point and look back on it. 15 seconds,
one year later, I frown at the sight of it. Every moment
dust brain speed to that red vortex and never reappeared.

Theorems of a mind in deficit

Dear Professor,

a beautiful thing
asymmetry accepted, but rivaled
and unequal to
your grandeur of utopian visions fed

Yet bits of encrypted data that leaks these lips, dull
replies for your patented affirmations of ‘perfect’

what ideals i ideate i create
on the fly
not from my ass but brain simmering
about to boil messier than any pot
atop a staining stove

bake this in your conventional oven
I’ll wait
did I get the recipe right? Chef?
Dinner for one, again

I know
it wasn’t cake I tried to make
A tender flake
with love created I’ll savor

Signed,
Your Professor

Edit later?
What the…??
