Let Me Rest After the Screen Is Blasted
I wish I could tell you all,
and fill this tiny screen, say
everything, leave it right here
on this screen, say it all, and then
never come back, sit on my porch,
strumming a broken guitar,
blowing on a wilted clarinet,
smoking a cheap pipe, never
coming back to your world,
telling you about all there is
on this screen, maybe fill the
screen, but tell you everything
and never come back, walk into
the front of a cement truck doing
seventy, never coming back,
fulfilled that all has been told,
knowing there is nothing left
inside me so I can go meet
that Mac, go away quickly
without a peep of noise, being
empty, never to come back.
Take away the severity
of despair, fill my tank
with the end, shut me down
forever. Let me rest, let
me loose from this agony.

I’m a Sick Little Child, and Why Do I Lie about it?
When I get angry, I pause
in the tension,
just a baby,
no reason to be angry,
but I’m bubbling angry,
so I hate myself
for that.
I hate the child in
me who will never grow
up, never be cured.
I’ll tell you I don’t get angry.
I get sad, I get depressed,
I get relieved when
lucky, but I lie and say
I don’t get angry
because I don’t want to be
a little child nor a scary
monster, so when
I get angry, I hate
myself and remember
that I was poorly designed
for this world.
