Words from a gonzoesque life in an oh so gonzoless world

    Welcome to Poem O’Clock! I’m really glad you’re here.

    In this Poetry Podcast Series each week, I’ll read 1 to 3 original poems and talk a little about where they come from, exploring the evolution of voice, experiences, and creative journey one poem at a time. We’ll move chronologically through my work, starting from my earliest poems and continuing forward through the ages.

    Denouement

    This piece will be in the upcoming collection Photographic Memories: Nein – available here soon

    Denouement

    What a massive cunt you are
    What a piece of work
    If I thought I wouldn’t get stuck
    I’d drag you through the dirt

    What a massive succubus
    Gaslighting ‘til the end
    Using words that you don’t know
    like “I love you” and “friend”

    What a giant piece of shit
    attracting all those flies
    Just trying to stay relevant
    with bullshit wrapped in lies

    What an egomaniac
    All judgmental and snide
    Your true colors are so bright
    they’re getting hard to hide

    What a massive disappointment
    What a fool I was
    All the remains of Chernobyl
    are less toxic than your love

    What a broken heart I have
    I’ve got none left to give
    You’ve finally taken everything
    What an end this is.

    No Change for a Dollar

    This piece will be in the upcoming collection Photographic Memories: Nein – available here soon

    No Change for a Dollar

    I wish I had back every cent that I spent on you
    I wish I had back every second that you led me through
    I wish I had back every time I wondered what to do
    And I wish I had back every ounce of me I spent on you

    I wish I had back all the pieces of my heart you took
    You broke them off without buying just like a common crook
    I wish I hadn’t served myself up like an open book
    And I wish I could undo the way I fell with just one look

    If I had a monkey’s paw I’d wish you all away
    If I had a genie’s lamp I’d wish for better days
    If I had a four leaf clover I’d wish luck my way
    But all I got’s a Bible and I don’t know what to pray

    So, if you ever think of me I just wish that you wouldn’t
    And if you’re somehow missin’ me I really think you shouldn’t
    ‘Cause if you ever come back I’m real sorry I just couldn’t
    ‘Cause I know now your coin’s double-headed and your nickel’s wooden

    I wish I had back every cent that I spent on you
    I wish I had back every second that you led me through
    I wish I had back every time I wondered what to do
    And I wish I had back every ounce of me I spent on you

  • Still You

    Still You

    This piece will be in the upcoming collection Photographic Memories: Nein – available here soon

    Still You

    The silence echoes through the house and you’re still on my mind
    Another humid night goes by and you’re my only kind
    I try to walk my mind away from everything that’s you
    But all my wheels just spin in place and make a muddy stew

    I try to move along but everything just moves right back
    I try to runaway but thoughts of you won first in track
    The quiet in this house just echoes all around my ears
    But somehow never seeing you’s the loudest of my fears

    I don’t know you and don’t know why I feel this soul connection
    It makes no sense to me that you’re my version of perfection
    But now I think I should give up and just ask God for mercy
    I wish I could but I’d do anything to let you hurt me

    The silence echoes through the house and you’re still on my mind
    Another humid night went by and you’re my only kind
    I try to run my mind away and make it like it’s new
    But I just don’t want nothin’ else if I can’t have you
