Gilmer

That is why I block
SR during the daytime--
Get some schoolwork done.

if you want to learn
to hate people just open
a bed and breakfast

Solarion

use enough water
joins thought the seasoning blends
after and so on

transfer to the fire
still maintains ebullition
put in the noodles

Carpathia

The power's back on
yet I glare furiously
at the calm blue sky

Carpathia

My Costco eggs, gone
No frittatas with those eggs
What are frittatas?

Carpathia

Save me from myself
A drinker without a drink
Face turned from music

Carpathia

morning sunlight streams
onto sodden backyard stew
messy is this day

Carpathia

she leaned on her cane
speaking of naps and rest rooms
but I knew her past

brilliant and crazy
she told me what it was like
crawling through her fire

Elseware

Love this, Carpathia. Reminds me of me.

Gilmer

I feel so uncool.
There are two opposing sides
I'm on neither one.

Morning was so great--
Then a dose of afternoon
Kicked me in the teeth.

I should go to bed
But it's only 6:00
Cut my losses now.

zerothehero

mom died suddenly
i never apologized
for running away

she said i lived a
charmed life but little did she
know my suffering

nor did i want her
to know that she was all too
often a main source

she died suddenly
but had been dead many years
mom was a zombie

if i got too close
i feared she would eat my brain
or rather my heart

not with teeth but with
tears and dysfunction like blood
red stains on her cheeks

eyes always swimming
in pools overflowing with
drowned grief and regret

pupils like ink dots
from years of painkillers and
hiding from the world

she was a good mom
or she tried to be and i
still love her for it

Gilmer

It is 7 now.
I am off to bed this time.
Sleep the blah away.

Carpathia

Thank you and farewell--
a zombie's resurrection:
kiss the past goodbye.

Elseware

100 degrees
And the sun's a burning orb
The sky? Well, sky blue

Yes, perfect weather
For a freakin' fire
4th of July comes

Elseware

The tremors have ceased
I may go back to the dark
Stopped my meds you see

Hold my hands. I'm scared
Depression causes great pain
Don't want to feel that

zerothehero

Ask Siri this: "What
is zero divided by
zero?" for a laugh.

Carpathia

humility is
johnny cash, eating his cake
while crouched in a bush

see johnny cash eat
eat johnny cash eat the cake
why's he in a bush?

You wouldn't find me
crouched in a bush eating cake
I'm far too clever

I think you don't know
what I do not to feel pain
but the joke's on me

zerothehero

johnny cash is on
the train and he ain't never
coming back 'round heres

zerothehero

elsie went to the
dark side but i'm trying to
pull her to the light

Elseware

I cannot think straight
I drank a glass of bourbon
Cousin killed herself

Did the bourbon help
No. Vicki is still dead
F***, I can't stand it

Yes, she overdosed
In this family it's par
All of us the same

Want to hurt myself
To make it all go away
Gut shot, I suffer
