Robert Colpitts

One would
if one could
stretch

But an elephant
is knocking
not a good time
to relax

Someone
call the
zoo

Crack, pop
Perfectly timed
||No distract
Avoid annoy||

Slippery socks
Shopping bags
||Down down
Bout time
god Damn||

Your life is art
And it has to be
||Motherfucking red
Face I’ll talk it out
Damn what||

To cope
To live
To balance
||You know
I know
so there||

The ocean of death
in your gut
||What
What’d you say||

Prometheus
Wa’nt a tale
||click snap
#2
cooling off||

You are dying
||fuck it all||
Faster than
||Who cares?||
Your father

My God!
Give that writer a secret!
Tell him to keep it close!
Tell him to stop saying everything!
Every word, every voice, every note!

“There;
Joy,” you say,
“Since you
see what
I struggle to see.”

Yes,
I see my amateur
Emancipation;
You think I’m King.

I’d bring you home,
But since I see,
As you say,
I’d see the farce
Of you and ME.

In the normal yoo hoo
Of my life I start to jump
Outside for 3 seconds
And then I see my shadow
Reflected in the yoo hoo
Of the where were you
And I know where I’ve been
Before and end it there

I don’t care

Y is S

What’s that?
Nothing smart to say?
No!
Well, to hell with you!
Yes!  I think it will be sunny there!

I never thought
I’d be doing this
Writing this
Saying that
Up this late

What makes surprise
Is when you surprise
You

Fear like
fingernail polish
About getting on a bus
When never yet have I done
That
Is not what I speak of
This fear
When I wake up
Is the disappearance
Of the organs
That previously
Resided in my chest
and a mind
tearing its soul away
From the nightmare
Of lost love
And words
That attack my vulnerabilities
Leaving my ensemble
Screaming for help!
That’s a fear
Like I don’t want to live
And can I please not live
And why can’t I just die?

It’s real
But after a banana
And some tea
And some cereal
And thank goodness sunlight
And the victory of intention
One more day
I shall flex

Raisins
Earlier
Settled
Now party
I eat
8 at once
yuck

Mention me
To your friend
And say I’m cool
So I can
Be a fool
Dance my dance
And say hello
To your friend
Much later
Who then
Won’t pretend
To shiver
When we meet

YOU CAN’T
YOU KNOW ME!

Sometimes you have to write
When you only have a phone
Now I can vent and vent
When I’m waiting waiting
All alone!

You wait
Because
I’ll do it
Sometime
And because
It’s scary
And because
You don’t want to

But the problem
With your
Method
Is that
Anytime
I want
I can just
Not do it

Easy ways
To teach
Lessons
When you
Are nice
And patient

Ok, probably not as easy
As just taking out the trash
But I need REVENGE!

I suppose an homage is in order
Memory fades, but I’ll bow to the positive
You were at once silly
Um….I cannot really remember past that
You read one of my texts
Um….Not a word past that
I said sorry
And you lived not a week past that
What you are now
I hope brings you
Joy
Clarity
Passion
Happiness
And calm
Maybe next year
More memory will fade
And I will, like the jester you were
Forget everything I’ve done and thought and said

Breathe
And there
Pressed is
It

But later
My face
Is all
I feel

Why?

Whistle a tune so soft
It flutters bitterly
And patiently ignores
The angry words

Send a silent prayer home
Have a restful sleep
Let sadness dream

You and I embrace
One last time
Before one
endless farewell
