Every girl deserves to pee like a boy.

Work. Wirk? Wurk.

Pork

Work.

Really?

The Buyer in the Pyre

The Seller in the Cellar

A wine becomes better with age,
But once it's gone it's just the same
As a cheap, deficient case.
Drink a bottle, throw your checks
Under tables. Sometimes the effect
Is worth much more than the taste.

You won't be wasting your time
On me.
The bottle is empty
Cleverly matching the climb.
Falling.

You're too scared to show
You're too scared to know
What you really were,
What you really are.
Yes, you're scared to show
You're too scared to know
Who you really were,
Who you really are.
Your reflection looks consistent
Either way.

The Body in the Fire 

Time is money. You spend what's left
Of your earnings on a quicker death.
Shorter days, smaller checks.
Smoking burns the demons down,
But while killing them you kill yourself.
Better days, shorter breaths.

You won't be hasty
When smoke is creating those lines
Around your cheeks.
Your sight is hazy.
You tell yourself that everything is fine.
Learn to smile without the crease.

You're too scared to show
You're too scared to know
What you really were,
What you really are.
Yes, you're scared to show
You're too scared to know
Who you really were,
Who you really are.
Your reflection looks consistent
Either way.

The Buyer in the Pyre

Drink away everything.
Drown your demons.
Smoke away everything.
Burn your demons.
Wash away everything.
Cleaning the mirror
Won't make the vision clearer.
Your reflection looks consistent
Either way.

The Alex Show - Episode 52

____: Sleep, why can't I find you?!

ALEX: Stop looking, and it will find you.

____: Sleep never finds you, Alex. You never sleep!

ALEX: ____, you know I don't believe in it.

____: Then how can you speak for something you do not believe in?

ALEX: Fine, fine. I do believe in it. I've always been a pro at hide-n-seek. Maybe that's why sleep cannot find me - I don't want it to.

____: Whoa. A pro at hide-n-seek? I didn't know one could go pro.

ALEX: Depends on what you're hiding from.

____: What else do you hide from, Alex?

ALEX: Whatever chases me.

____: What if whatever is chasing you is awesome, and you just don't know it because you're too busy hiding?

its coffin

there is nothing alluring

beneath the surface

yet there is this sentence

there is its existence

there is yours

and every so often

it awakes from its coffin

and sneaks into mine

it just lies there

same as it did in its own

but lonely loves (my) company

so here we lie

in comfortable silence

irony at its finest

killing you with kindness

silent

so silent

without a license i still drive you

to the cliff

you've reached it before

all on your own

but then you held the wheel

you could grip it and feel

the motions

then you were grounded

now uprooted 

like a tree

dead

on its side

until the outside

moved your wooden hide

and carved you into mine

i lie in it often

your body

the coffin

its existence

gone in an instant

yet there is this sentence

the surface is endless

who needs the contents?
