Stammering for a foothold…Friday / November 7, 2014 #SchwervonPoetry

IMG_4326.JPG
What would you do
If you were stuck
Staring at the ass
of a truck All day?

Snot factory
Don’t forget
Life is filled with wonder and joy

Jerking off is only
Toxic when it’s in public

You told me if I drank this
I would remember my dreams
But you lied.

Stammering for a foothold

The world rewards those
who enter it

We are cars on the highway

All I ever wanted was
The best of both worlds

Twenty five years is a long time
For the reincarnation cycle of a fly

The problem with an open door
Is that you don’t get to pick
Your visitors

Twenty five years is
barely
Enough time
For a single breath to exhale

Everywhere you look
You can choose to see teeth
If that is what you need

I am okay with that

There are teeth in
In the wheels
There are teeth
In smiles.

Car monkey sandwich hats…Thursday / November 6, 2014 #SchwervonPoetry

Let’s hear it for the students 
The future is theirs 
The past is their’s 
They walk in green fields
They step on dogs 
And squeeze their shits out
They walk through it 

Let’s here it for the nut jobs
The present is theirs 
Never letting go 
Of the child inside
The happy sadness
The neck microphones
The plants and the hair

Lightening hits you in the face
It leaves a mark
I wake and kiss your teeth

Last night I dreamed
Everyone I spoke to 
Was trying to get me
To say the word: “Why?”
 I didn’t get it. 
I left feeling confused and embarrassed 

Wilst du tanzen? 
Warum? 
Warum nicht?

Take a look in the bathroom mirror. 
Will today be the last shave? 

It’s not hard to see why
People once thought
The clouds were heaven. 
 
It’s not hard to see the power 
In bears. 
But a duck is an extraordinary 
Thing 
Car monkey sandwich hats
Pillow socks with electric smiles 
Trees tha cry 
and the rocks who love them

All the impossible things 
we can imagine. 
Just before breakfast 

It’s beautiful 
You are beautiful.

I will always be here… Sunday / November 2, 2014 #SchwervonPoetry

I will alway be here 
Always always 
All ways 
For all times 
Everywhere 
Never ever ever 
Not never never 
Always and forever 
I will always be here 

With you 

Du isst Mitagessen 
Du isst Abendessen 
Du isst Frûhstuck. 

I am always there. 
Giving birth 
Dying
Opening bottles and cans 
Learning new languages
Finding new ways 
To scape the earth
To feel the dirt 
Between our fingers

We play the wet sand like a harp

Wa ask strangers for the way to go
We grow tired o
f ourselves
Look outward for reasons

We play games for meaning
We ring the bells 

We try different things 
We love different people
At different times

But I know what I need
I need more hugs
Every day
This I know is true
I need more hugs 
I need more hugs from you
