First Draft
First draft, catch the idea, put it on the page. But its not all there yet? Doesn’t matter, you have a quota. Just get it on the page, and get it out there. Fuck editing, fuck censoring, it’s all out, all on the line. Tomorrow is a big day, in a bad way, maybe weContinue reading “First Draft”
Poetry or Politics, Wtf should I write!?
What is a writer to do when he wants to write everything!?
Writers Block, A Poem
No ideas, but all the motivation. All the reasons to do it yet no reason at all. Like a marathon, hitting a wall. Just spit it out, Put it on the page! Put it on the Page! Forget if it makes sense, forget the grammar and spell checks. Fuck making sense. Just put it onContinue reading “Writers Block, A Poem”
Three Napkins I Scribbled My Soul On
Recently as I was filing my chaotic pile of notes that clog my writing desk I came across three napkins with sporadic red sharpie on it. I remembered that last summer I was at a huge party to see a friend’s band. In a fit of something I have yet been able to describe withContinue reading “Three Napkins I Scribbled My Soul On”

Error in Judgement, Judgment and decay no more, but an ecstasy wind. What limited realm is the i.d. of our very realm itself? Does not your realm breathe of the ecstasy wind and of ecstasy’s wind. What Apollo gods rule this earth to maker her so cruel? Why Athena have you forsaken us? 6/9/14
The Burden of Empathy : Chapter 7
Chapter 7 I was so freaked out I couldn’t even get back to sleep. It was still dark, around 4:30am, but for some reason I felt like I had to get out of the hotel room, I felt suffocated and I couldn’t understand why. I knew I couldn’t go out the front door because I’dContinue reading “The Burden of Empathy : Chapter 7”
The Burden of Empathy : Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Then I had another dream. I was talking to her, telling her everything about myself. Confessing every single pathetic detail of my infatuation with her. But suddenly she changed. Suddenly I wasn’t taking to her, but the girl whom I struck whilst pummeling her boyfriend. But what I was saying wasn’t changingContinue reading “The Burden of Empathy : Chapter 6”
