learning to whip my butt

[8-29-08 / 109pm]


it was on into kindergarten
that my parents were still
having to whip my
ass

i can remember having my
butt whiped two times
once in preschool
i was on the toliet
had finished and
didnt know what to do
b/c i couldnt whip my own
ass

so i asked another student
an older student
to go and get the teacher
she came and whipped my
ass

the other time i remember
was the last time someone
has had to whip my ass
for me

i was in kindergarten
not preschool.
i called my dad in to do it
for me

he finished and said
youre going to have to start doing this yourself.

a piece of the statue

[8-11-08 / 434p]


why do i feel better
after i write a poem

because i'm contributing
to my body of work

why do i feel better
after i contribute to
my body of work

because i'm making a
monument to myself
a statue
for the future

to show that i
existed
to show that i
lived
and that that
existence and life
was
important.

Nights full of passion are near

[8-08-08 / 551pm]


When your wife is angry with your bad potence.
Get a Rich Beautiful Lawn
Time to be a MAN.
123
Britney and Paris having fun together.
Back to school sale
Try now...
Gain the monstrous dimensions
Celebrate your life-long achievements
Still looking?
Tablet of happiness
populace flatworm tirade weaponry introvert
Greetings from...?
Nights will be longer than they should be.
Need no words
Your order is executed
brilliant time
Vanish illnesses and pain from your life.

vis-ions of the singularity

[8-8-08 / 550pm]


heady whiffs
of the coming singularity

come and go
while
making copies at work
a wiff a brief glimpse of the coming
enormity
the bliss
the order
the peace
the love

come and go
while
coloring a work of art
entitled: it feels good to feel good
with a blue sharpie

the female coworker said
time is weird
after discussing her experience
at her 20 year high school
re-union.

the singularity
the re-union

every now and then
i am begining to since it

one about the start of the weekend

[8-8-08 / 542pm]

figured id write
one about the
start of the weekend.

the cure said it best
in that song
about being in love w/ friday
over all other days.

they were right.
at 530 on friday
right after work

one expereinces pure freedom
this is not experienced on
any other day.

on friday afternoon
the horizon looks
limitless.

and that feels good
to the working man
