These arms are getting tired of crucifying myself. I used to think poetry could save people the same way Jesus brought the blind back to see That by sharing my struggle, pain, scriptured heartache that I could heal myself and help anybody else experiencing the same. But lately, I don’t know whether this is healthy or therapeutic or just a masochistic hobby of taking a microphone for a...

Churning itself in reverse
ticking time bomb eager to collapse caves of allegory ready to escape
Funny, how I’m constantly...

I want to break with tradition of how the men in my family pop and lock with bottles.

Dear Oakland,
If seeing you meant catching 2 buses, 1 train, and walking 7 blocks in 40degress of bay area fog

The bartender asks you whats wrong. This is how you know its one of those days. When the bartender asks you whats wrong. Tell him its been a long morning. Ask for a coke.

The second computer...
