From the new book that isn't out yet:


Wake up –
Another day –
It’s a mess
And you’re a million miles away

Picture on the desk
Of another time
Another dimension –
Poster child for Hot Topic

Ripped away
Like a Band-Aid
Stuck on for oh so long
That the pieces of me
The pieces of you
Stuck on
So long
Like the ripping noise
The grimace
The muffled grunt
Of a sudden tug –
Pain
And free
But not free

And it goes on
Awake/asleep
No difference in the end
Except one is more angular
A harshness
Around the edges
Everything
Divided in halves
A.M. and P.M.
B.C. and A.D.
Hot and cold
Rain and shine
Black and white
Wet and dry


Before you and after you
“After you” –
Contradiction in terms


Wake up –


Another day –
No before
No after
Just the Eternally Recurring Band-Aid
Like Sisyphus and his stone
Over and over

The theory of ending –
Where does it end?
When does it end?
Does it end?

... My Lexicon!

Where does it begin ...

Very Nice write,Lex,,,and to be real..
WE never forget,,but we remember LESS,,,,
Time is our enemy,, yet our best Friend....


Heres to knowing WE shall strive for better and know the bad,,,but living and laughing, because we're ALL JUST A BIT MAD!

Great write, Lex, as usual.

~Before you and after you
“After you” –
Contradiction in terms~

wish i had thought of that, love it, and the entire write!!
