Click here to go to the graphicly endowed story of loss and redemption, startlingly entitled 'The Piano'

And below are some of my exquisite poems, lovingly rendered in a table that will probly make them appear incorrectly formatted. Such is the life of a debutante.

 
Amnkopo
Sorrow of the Damned

It slips from my fingers
gossamer strands stretching
between my splayed fingers
and its flawless crystalline surface.

So precious
even as it falls
routing stars
across my walls.

My eyes lock onto the path
it follows, spiraling down
across the great divide
of now and the past.

I swim backwards against
the flow of time and life
to days when I was free
and my heart felt no strife;

when everything seemed to be
wonderful and Destiny
shone brightly on my forehead
with a smile and a kiss.

But now, I stand still.
My mind laments
what my soul has done
to bring it to these days.

There's nothing anyone can do
since it has shattered
and the fragments are everywhere
and time is rotting.

Tenacity?
Existence?
Meaningless.
Victims of a bitter token
because, as of today,
my favorite bowl is broken.
       
Hobbies

Whenever the world gets me down
I go out into that world
covered with bittersweet jam.
The citizens of my fair city
walk up, carrying their briefcases,
and lick the jam off my ears.
Now, I think to my ownself,
I can hear what I need to hear
like the car about to run me down.
We should celebrate something
with a day where we wear jam
and let others lick us freely.
I don't advocate this activity
unless you are open-minded and
people want to lick you anyway.
Otherwise, they won't and you
will probably feel bad because no
one wants to put their tongue on you.
This is why I look for places where
people are drunk and therefore
they behave open-mindedly.
You will also meet some police.
Running with Leo

Missing my lunch
Wasting my ammo
I saw a minstrel serenade a mime

I stood on S. Ave D
And I thought I saw myself
Drinking out of the milk carton

So I went home and ripped
My magazines into strips
And made a pretty dress from them

I burned the dress but only because
My social calendar is empty

If I only had a big bucket
Then what you have only means
I... forgot. Sorry.

Some poetic homeless man rears up
And asks for a quarter
And asks for a turkey sandwich

I pretend to not speak English - I'm broke anyway
Shelling out the bucks for novelty shrunken heads

Flying monkeys decorate my walls
Plastered there with thick tape
Screeching and gibbering to be freed

Pretty smelly, they throw food at me
I dive for shelter
But they are really good aimers

I can't choose which McDonald's shirt
wearing the wrong one every day
But my manager would hate me anyway

Maybe I'll get fired
Forced to keep old grease vats at my house
Where they'll smell bad and kill my monkeys

Giant robot bugs ate my family
My rifle safely stowed in a safe
That I always seem to lose the stupid key to

Face buried in sand
Hiding from the giant robot bugs
I can't see them they see not me

Metallic feet clanging
Shattering kitchen tile
The bugs like to savor their meals

Would it be wrong to feed them ice cream?
So fatty -
A leading cause for various heart ailments

There's no people in the world now
Just giant robot bugs
Unhappy that they killed everyone.
  The Story of Brunch

Cisco rides an old horse
Across the brown plains
And his horse is brown
So it is like he floating

Floating
Drifting around
Like a spaceman
Lost in the space
Without space
What man
Would a spaceman be?

You need better speakers
Cisco
On your brown horse
Under a blood red moon
Even though it's more like orange
I think blood is bad
When it is out of my head
On the cottage cheese

Cisco! Shoot your rifle!
Kill the bandit!
But no! There is a new bandit.
He has a mask on.
Who is the bandit?
Cisco's brother Hoss!

Bounty on your head
Like an anvil on my hat
Weighing my mind
With bad demon thoughts
Check yourself
Before you wreck
Yourself!

What What!

Now the sky is darkening
And the ground is black
And Cisco rides
With his brother's corpse
Across his saddle
Like a bow tie.
Like your bow tie.
Like my bow tie.
Like our empty hearts.
Chunky Munkiness

Chunky Munkiness swam out of the darkness
And stuck her lips on mine.
Woah! Calm down Chunky!
I don't want any of that in here!
But Chunky won't listen.
I am unintelligible with her lips stuck to mine.
It's all very humorous until
Woah! Chunky Munkiness's tongue is in my mouth!
I don't want that in there!
What if Chunky finds my root canal?
I keep my ATM card there.
She could steal my money like she's stolen my heart.
Except she decided to skip the heart part
And stick her tongue in my mouth!
There's a report on television about plaque.
Pay attention, Chunky!
Plaque is dangerous!
Take your tongue out of my mouth!
I am not a tongue parking garage!
I am thinking about charging a fee
But I can't since Chunky is firmly entrenched.
Hey! Don't put your hand there!
Chunky distracts me with her teeth as she lunges again.
Collision! This makes the tongue seem tame!
I feel a jolt ride from the base of my tooth into my brain stem.
I forget where I am.
I think I swallowed some enamel.
I am gagging, and Chunky's not helping.
She thinks it is a sign of excitement
As my head goes fluffy and my eyes roll back
I pass out.
And when I awaken
I am a victim of Chunky Munkiness.
Like a phantom, it swooped down out of the shadows
Lips and tongue and indifferent desire
It wasn't my fault; I swear it.
I was just there
And Chunky wanted a ride
And who am I to say 'No'?
And my stomach is full of enamel.
My bowels could withstand an artillery bombardment.
  ALLCAPS

Before time
Is a beast
Gibber madly as you learn:
Born beneath the mountains
In the planet's bowels --
Leviathan!
Leviathan!
You will not eat squid, sir.
When civilization crumbles
Everyone feels bad
As cities burn down
Revoking parking permits.
Standing on the remnants
A single giant fish
Leviathan!
Order obliterated
Vermin validated
Evil exacerbated
Leviathan!
Yellow sun turned red.
Pretend that you're safe
In your open-air cage.
Never questioning
Knowing truth naught
Dreaming
Rationalizing
Every day
Slowly dying more
Stagnate
And what have you done?
Nature wasted
Dreams, hopes, aspirations
Squandered.
Leviathan!
Is swallowing your soul.
Prepare for a nap.
Lavender

Mr. Hawaiian Shirt
Sitting in the dirt
He likes to sit and play
All of the summer day!

Mrs. Red Dunebuggy
So sad when it's muggy
She scoots across the sand!
This land is our land.

Senor Old Asbestos
Abides his manifesto
Rickety old coughing
You're there for the offing.

And they all get together
and discuss the weather
They don't share a thing
But they bow to the King.

And the King? He is a broom.

  At Taco Bell

At Taco Bell
There is a man
Who has a taco
He is eating it

At Burger King
There is a man
Who has a burger
He is eating it

At Pizza Hut
There is a man
Who has a pizza
He is eating it

In my neighborhood
There is a man
Who has a pet dingo
It is eating him.
