Hand-Eye 01:23
HAND-EYE peeping tom with splintered hands eyes wide- a fantasy sees only what he doesn't feel too concerned with what he can't have to embrace any shimmer within his grasp time for bed shakes his head again his eyes just aren't red enough yet a fixated jerk-off junkie an incessant dependency id-ridden ego obesity no passion no intimacy strike him blind tear out his fucking eyes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Godiva#Peeping_Tom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6GzRfpqbM8

Cold Wind 01:55
***I am not blaming the youth for the issues presented in these words. I feel for them and our future. The fault lies in the rules in the systems that parents, coaches, teachers, and other guiding figures are made to implement and follow. At the risk of sounding like one of those posters with the scenic pictures and "inspirational" quotes...It's okay to fail and lose. Play your games, offer your trophies, but foster understanding. It will be a challenge. Entitlement may be the root of all evil but we're all entitled to learn, grow and understand to our utmost capacities. It's easy to complain; it's much more difficult to take responsibility for and redefine our roles in the "big picture." That's what this one's about.*** COLD WIND shelf of shiny trophies breeding entitlement built upon defaulted recompense and all the confidence of a hollowed wreck force-fed kids shit empty bottled cliches as important lessons whither away a game of shadow tag on the play ground musical chairs where no one gets out round and round as the cold wind blows... and what are we teaching the kids when we manipulate experience? and what are we teaching the kids when the loser wins? no more underdogs and no more heroes just fragile skinned delusional zeroes if these kids are the future we're fucked and that's on us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Cold_Wind_Blows_(game)

Adrift 01:33
ADRIFT describe myself in just 3 words? unfulfilled, tired and bored knocked off kilter in a familiar place saturated filters: contaminate, infiltrate, litter and waste. a frantic need a need to please adrift a conscious stream a frantic need a need to please a watered down version of me i think, re-think i think again i think and rethink i think again I think and rethink again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-nO0WCGJE

The Absentee 02:03
THE ABSENTEE distractions speak louder than words i'm never really where i am anymore it's go go go and never slow cruise controlled down a dead end road and does the end justify the means if i neglect the shimmer in between? untarnished beauty I fail to see the roadside blurry as I focus on on me me me a sympathy card from the absentee- another fucking futile apology with solemn muted dialogue resounding over grieving songs: a beautiful communion at the funeral reunion a morning routine catastrophe can't identify the body let out a sorry sigh of lost grief a brief moment for the deceased forge on drenched in utter disregard live in the moment when we absolutely have no choice filling holes/revealing voids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6-0kYhqoRo

Diorama 02:54
DIORAMA lost...in a haze of glory days "remember when?" and "it was so much better then" caught...in the trap of a town plagued by ghostly remains of the simple days deadpan faces being chipped away on weathered statues firmly set in place barely surviving through stagnant years as water drips through cracks like tears dormant display of desolate decay the cadaver oath proudly proclaims: "i'll never leave. i'll never change in rust we trust trap me yeah tame me please domesticate me lock me up safely on dormant display" well you can visit come in, please, stay yes, yes the exhibit's plans have been long laid and i'll see to it- that your bed is made deadpan faces and ghostly remains trap you and tame you mold and domesticate you lock you up safely on dormant display
