Little girl…
I saw your pain again.
Where others only look, I see.
You have special kind.
Some wear it on the shoulder,
sympathy from the world.
While for others its only skin deep,
waiting for the scab to break.
Yours is deep and hidden well, but you
don’t see, that I see.
It cost me my love, but I’ve found
peace with myself.
When your ready
swallow your fear and I’ll help.
I’m something of an expert
you see

Demon hunters at a department store
big dogs come into town
big dragon dudes with human companions
they’re killing everyone
when they get to me, tingle…
Hey where’s your vest?
I found the placenta!
Regular socks, digital socks,
roommate working at dept store.
I always felt weird on the hunt,
one night ended up following a vet.
This happened. Car, book, wallet,
convenience store ice cream clouds.

just about any vampire

On the one hand,
like just about any vampire^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
pasty computer guy,
I tend to avoid the sun.

On the other, the sun that reaches
the ground today reminds me of the long-awaited end to a schoolyear and
impending vacation.
Not only is the end of a schoolyear not coming
(I just checked, and it’s still
only February),
but even if it were, there would be no break
(stupid employment).

Also, lunch was half
a sandwich because the other half
was moldy, and me
with no lunch
money.

So nice.

in this dystopian future where social classes
are constructed so that society keeps working
to support a secret corporation that runs everything
the lowest class is heavily controlled, and
petty crimes that increase their welfare
(stealing bread, being lent money by the upper class) are heavily enforced
their savior is a young man who calls himself
“Guardian Angel”

he is obsessively pursued by the corporation’s top enforcer Saul.
Guardian Angel never reveals his identity, and
appears to have come from no where. He only
ever speaks in Latin, quoting the Bible, or singing traditional hymns.
finally
Saul confronts him, he wants to know why he does it, why disrupt a system, though corrupt, that is keeping humanity successful?
The boy refuses to answer,
Saul uncovers his plot to destroy the corporations headquarters, disrupting the system permanently
the two have a final confrontation
Saul is repentant, but begs the boy not go through with what he is doing

he simply activates the bomb
it begins counting down
Saul shoots the boy with his weapon,
a gun used by all enforcers
the first 3 shots are just stun wires of varying power,
because usually the suspect should be apprehended without killing.
the rest are bullet rounds, and Saul warns him
but the boy just keeps walking towards him
singing the Ave Maris Stella
several rounds go through before he begins to collapse,
Saul gently cradles him to the floor, but he is still singing

his last breath on the verse,
“Felix caeli porta.”

nude I will be

-Have 2/3 of my wardrobe stolen
because of an impatient waif who took
my clean clothing out of the dryer and into
the lost and found (I, the “loser”
and some lucky, soon-to-be
scalpless individual the “finder”)
on Wednesday.

-Receive listener hoodie in the mail Thursday.
Fair trade, says I.
If I must needs be naked, nude I will be
while propagating talk music.

Bootleg

Duffy was another amazing
guy from Ecorse.

When they moved to the UP
of Michigan he was running
whiskey to the UP
for his dad.

Almost got caught one time
on the ferry going across the straits of Mackinac.
One of the tins on whiskey
had a leak and was spilling it.
There was a motorclye cop on the ferry so
Duffy was in his car and got
off the ferry
in a hurry.

They said you could smell the booze.
