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?

FLASH FLASH FLASH SPIN SPIN SPIN

I've know the answer for far too long now.

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?
