This is writing that doesn't fit into any particular category. It's not prose and it's not quite poetry. It's not quite sane but it's something healthy. Not all of us have it figured out. I sure as hell don't. It's a series of locutions on madness and locura.

Wicker Wire

I can't take the straps off this wire wicker casket where I live
No love forever, you know, I'm not who I want I wish I could be
Suspicious whispers asphyxiate the careful hissing, Missy
I left my fucking sense by the wayside

No my car did not get repossessed, not yet, quite yet
But I'm fighting them off with tin foil and silver blanks
I feel that when they find out the coordinates of my location
I'll have given up my fortress, buttressed by ten levels of deceit

We gave our brains to the park, to the needles, to the never-ending dark
I can't remember where I put my life and now for that I'll have to answer once again
That I can't break even one link in this goddamn chain does not portend well for my friends
For my friends whose names I've forgotten once again
For my friends whose names I've forgotten once again

The American Dream in Padlocks
A wicker wire casket once again
