Thoughts as blunt as cheetah claws, Words as sharp as their cleat-like paws; He preys on the weak, with mach-speed speech And purrs sweet nothings as they bleed. But the cheetah is not a king. Just one more cog in our machine; Where he's forced to feed on others, Coerced to smother, lest he suffer The metallic grip on his scruff; To be snuffed and laid out as a rug. » Continue Reading

From the stairwell, a man taller t... » Continue Reading

Is this everything you'd hoped for? 'Cuz your friends are less than impressed, And fiends are breathing on your door. You realize something horrible: Not here 'cuz you're adorable; Your heart's a cherry ... » Continue Reading

Beside the sea, painted in blacks Squats tan building by cliffs edge Fluorescent lights shine through small cracks Brackish winds assaulting the ledge Chain link fencing surrounds the grounds Moon's silver spotlight beaming Cricket's songs are the only sounds Besides water's deep breathing Three men exit a hangar door I spy those guys as I hide They carry clay pots to the shore And br » Continue Reading
The hand in the hydraulic press Held more hope than words can express; Now, behold the leaky mesh - Sticky, messy, compressed flesh. A child of twenty-two, The hotshot on the crew. But dreams that come true, Come to an end, too. » Continue Reading
