Destroy and Make Joy

let me situate myself. get my bearings of the day
grass grows
steel bends
memories dip
uteruses explode
friends sneeze 6 times a minute
flavors good
mood set
i write on my phone waiting for my therapist to return from taking a SHIT
me and my very best friend want to be disney kids. star in a pretty disney sitcom, where were both rich and always happy, everyones always pretty, where were always at the center of everything, going on wacky rich kid adventures together. my friend you could say a highly admirable detached pixar kid who has secretly read all of deleuze & guattari and nick land and understands all of what they're all saying in the screenwriting for each show. im just really emo, really fucked up, really messy. we think were the perfect duo. a few of our friends think so too. made for stardom. made for exploitative merchandise. made to be mickey mice. i think about the one musical show with the zombies. you know, the ones where the zombies are just normal disney kids, except with green skin? i hypothesize that i could recieve this treatment. the dream is real. so is our audition.
my friend is tangibly interesting, i probably am too, on a scale of not at all to quite a lot more than my friend, but with no real solid pinned down place. i come shuffling into the disney lot in broken shoes, a greasy face left over from my previous meal, and the same clothes ive worn since 2018. my friend comes in fresh as fuck. like a living ice cream cone. i dont say a word. my friend presents themselves as easily able to fit in to other stereotypical disney kids, and then breaking away to make sure my character recieves positive attention. my only action ever is a hug. im otherwise motionless, statuesque, grimly and staticly destitute in the sunshine world of far too much money and pressure from behind the scenes grooming and abuse. not even dan schnieder would fuck with me.
were both pretty adamant that were both the next big thing. our dream is real. so is your eventual answer of yes, we will develop this. well pay anything. i can read like a book the mind of one executive. i suggest sardonically the series title that hes just thought of, what feels like a fairly obvious winner: _When Hitler Met Sally_. this is received in a way. this is most loudly recieved in a way by the man who concieved it, like i had just caught him urinating directly into the drain on the bathroom floor, his most favorite fantasy. all of them look like theyve seen a ghost, and they have. but more specifically, they look like they saw the first poor kid theyve ever seen in their life.
Her name is Bethyl Hammer. She’s tired.
our visions dont match. their obvious loss. our obvious future gain. forced back underground but lucky in a sense. everyone knows this is where vulnerabilities live.
the roots of their bearings of jewels from shells of murdered gasping fruit
the pipes to their pieces
the wires to their sun
the treacle to their ink marrow
which now trickles out
as threads of a sweater
blinds of a curtain
the blood of apocalypse
the unveiling of secrets
a wound that keeps pumping
tearing an inch further open
each pulse the ink paints
washes clean an old painting
a synesthetic Beardsley with the cum of Wain
and nurturing warmth of georgiana houghton
here is where you collapsed me inside my bed
and whispered the assignment that would define a new regency
where we get led right to the beating hearts of lonely aching needy sources
to Destroy.....and make......joy.

peace weavin
scary lookin
always buildin
out of view
everywhere
sensible home stitch
slice of a sickle
birth of a hammer
tale of a cammer
home intrusions
of the fearful
the stealth of ages
crusade of the sage brush
take them over
vanishing oldward
a web connector
wonder earth
take them over
out of sight
out of sight
uh uh uh uh
a giant trampoline to live on
a giant snare for the sprawl of the armed
whom we shall consume
and nurture ourselves upon
i cope a little better
i breathe a little wider
i switch a little softer
see peace as a spider
vampire infants
learning to suck their own blood
know how they taste
know their very best flavors

I'm Testing You
05:38
|
|||
youve been a very bad girl
im launching a full scale assault
you havent been what the oracles have promised you to be
let me put into perspective
your trajectory
youve been a very bad girl
youre gonna feel a lotta shit inside you
that feels very not good
you wont be able to sleep even though you know you should
you can scream if you can still breathe deep enough
i like how you think you were already tough
im testing you
you got to learn to take care of yourself
nobody else for now
im forcing you
to have to do it just in order to survive
just know im testing you
you got to learn to take care of yourself
nobody else for now
where did those frequencies go?
guess youll have to go and look and find them
you can see yourself
staring right into gods asshole
gonna get sucked right in
theres just a pit that groans
right under the ribs
you try to feed it and it screams for blood
and you convulse in the night
and you freeze to a crisp
you think youre going and perpetually
not quite there
a human bodys just another walking horror story
a human body’s just another fucking horror story
a human body’s just a
BIG
FUCKING
MESS
AAAHH
it wants to break and we can’t let it break
it wants to shut down
wants to have a system failure
but we can’t
but we can’t
but we can’t
its never good, much less ever what we’d even ask for
it wants to break and the blood tastes like steak
it wants to shut down
wants to have a system failure
but we can’t
but we can’t
but we can’t

I Don't End

crick crack
guess whos back
lets spasm out
a lick-quick smack
its hammers free
its pounders wave
the curse on set
of Meet Dave
here come the boots to reprimand
here comes the new queen of nightmare land
the fibro fairy the scoli skeeter
muff the magic dragon eater
punks all think im too extreme
goths all think i get too dark
tiktok teens head for the trees
and chasers only see a swarm of killer
bees
a cis bitch cannot know
the things the transes never show
something just for me
kept in my steel gut dont try to cut me
i dont end
im just here
just try to melt
a stoney queer
if im meant to raise my doubled axe
then ill make a new split in your ass
i dont end
i just go
i start im off i cant desist
if im meant to rise then rise i must
and rise i have it was written in rust
i dont quit
never will
what you think fuzz is really quills
if im meant a gear in two
ill crack it in three and crush you
i had to become god to take you down
and isnt that a sign that you were too dangerous
i had to become lightening to take down yr
walnut tree so all the oak trees could live

I Put Up a Front
06:15
|
|||
every morning my mouth seals shut
i put up a front to absorb yr cut
it was always flimsy at best but i still put up a front to be yr secret smut
i just get by because a lil pig sty is
better than no sty at all
im just a square thing
no real rare thing
just a dumpster bitch rat
whats the matter
never get touched at all these days
but i put up a front cause i gotta be a nice gay
see if the energy feels right
but i put up a front because i might
be too forward
too needy
too horny
for you
be too forward
too needy
too horny
for you
why should u recieve affection
when you just cant behave
why should u recieve affection
when youre just so depraved
why should u receive love
when you toss out friendship for the lay
get some church pants on that ass
and ask the lord to get saved
i come flying up from over there
wearing my ex’s underwear
stomping on bel air and the valley
because the meek shall inherit cali
stomping in the roofs of men who
are jerkin off to my giant hen
exposing them and their great look of disgrace
when they skitter away
the noise we hear all day
until they crawl out from under their desk
and say wipe them out, leave no trace
and always with that reddish face
spinning on a pole
spread my ass for cameras
where i belong
elsewhere i get damned
ive seen the exploitation
i know what youll do if i
let out a peep from inside
i cant hold it in forever
before id raise some fuck to show you the power of our anger
to send a message we wont get fucked with again
but i put up my front
listen to you call me a cuntless cunt
cause i know at that time that if i tried
someone might go make sure that ive died
and id get harassed in the daytime never mind the night, get chased everywhere
hiding cameras inside my hair
what good is a taser if they only stare
ill just stay indoors and be nowhere
doesnt matter how long weve been around
doesnt matter what hirschfield ever put down
doesnt matter if we were in ancient rome or in ancient greece
doesnt matter if i even have titties
cause thats the way you mozey
if a spoiled cis white man says so
then thats the way you mozey
if it gets you paid if it gets you laid
then thats the way you mozey
or if it doesnt get you one or the other or both
then thats the way
uh huh uh huh
you mozey
im the ink marrow girl and i gotta spew
stuff nothing new but i still gotta hurl
spitting up ink
spitting it pink
spitting it blue like a fucking twink
if i spit it white then i got the flag
but why fuck with flags they just fuck us back
and stab through both tits
like a roasting spit
watch out! gonna rhyme this all with “shit”
i gotta poke where it hurts
ruffle up a rich white mans shirt
get erased from all walks of life and such
no shows no films the usual crutch
and they like to think thats its just a white thing
because the whites are the most alive
our black and brown siblings left in dust
we never reckon past memes and jokes
these are our siblings and we just leave them
when really we’ve got the means to protect them
some of us whites have got money somewhere
we could be using that to some good end we just dont care
we just dont care
we could be showing up but we just dont care
we just dont care
some of us try to care
but the ones with the pull and gold just glare
now i pull that gold from teeth and pocket
and smash the gold where theres planes and rockets
bitchzilla on rail skates,
skyscraper legs and powder kegs in her punch
on the hunt for conservative types
that throw a fit that were in their sight
run them over with their own car
that 69 jaguar
but once id just put up my front
cause im homeless and looking for a place to bunk
and if i meet the social criteria
the trans girl hosting me will do a query-a
have me join her trans polycule
where ill be called a good girl and fucked like a fool
oh shit, ASD is starting to show
they all have that look in their face like woah
i got big energy big obsessive
sometimes i can be big posessive
fidgety dissociative and spacy
and traumatized im fuckin crazy
the thing that scares them is this is no meme
the traits i exhibit are the real thing
i keep being left on the side of road
and i feel like theres no frog to my toad
ive left a long trail of folks that ive hurt
ive left beautiful faces down in the dirt
and ive been called every kind of word for it
cause thats the way they mozey
if a spoiled rich white man says so
then thats the way you mozey
if it gets you paid if it gets you laid
then thats the way you mozey
or if it doesnt get you one or the other or both
then thats the way
uh huh uh huh
you mozey
keep putting up that front
thats what everybody wants
in this town no ones blunt about it
just keep up that front
and go away

greasing my lightning to strike you smooth
95 horsepower in one tooth
grind me down to a single stick
gonna make myself be the fattest tick
wash this fusion through my necklace
through the doors with the draw of my cutlass
did i arouse five dudes or six
well to tell you the truth ive forgotten it
all of these punks feel lucky so
gonna leave them edging like a stove
into my one-horse open fuck you

don’t burn down my woods or ill
sink yr enchanted private desert isle
break your spirit and ill break your neck
cause the cards just tell me what the heck go do what you want
everythings direct
so there ain’t no forecast of regret
catch your villians in a time of neglect
show them who’s the real defect
my spontaneous conjuring
of a seismic shift in the bends of spring
my girl drug intake shooting through the gears of my one horse open fuck you

no it works this way
no it works this way
im sure its this way
life works this way
no it works this way
well which way the fuck is it

where we keep our peice of you
in boiling heat skin soaking wet

into my one-horse open fuck you
take your money and i take my cue
don’t burn down my woods or ill
sink yr enchanted private desert isle

of a seismic shift in the bends of spring
my girl drug intake shooting through the gears of my one horse open fuck you

Too Pure
04:19
|
|||
you know friend i dont think you know why i come off like i do
why the colors pop out and im never too rude
why i just want to spread some comfort we all need comfort
this is the style that i work in
always had the feeling that you hesitate
cause you talk with others in a different way
but around me your much more reserved
i can’t quite understand the codes you swerve to
~~~~~~~~~~~~
too pure
you say im so pure
you see me as only what i project
but you don’t know what ive seen what ive felt all the ghosts that i keep
in my head paying rent in dopemine
i seem to be too pure
pushing 25 but i guess i look 19
keep giving me advice that i took to heart twice
i do all this and still play nice
and i still tango with the demon with the crossed out eyes who speaks in the language of all i don’t say
xe cant kill me cause xe needs me
i can think of many who are just that way
~~~~~~~~~
i dont think you fully grasp the weight of me
maybe in sparkling i actually feel free
its everything i never was allowed to do cause it was not inspired by god i never took a cue
cause i wish to love for love’s sake
but i would never ever say gods fake
but the version they gave me never really swayed me
it was just their own narcissistic manifest destiny
this is my house
this is my shield
its not the only thing i am or feel
cause in this house i got many closets
that i hide in when ive just lost it
i’m draped in the CYMK rainbow
and i allow myself to glow
so the next time that you see me
in my fox cape hoodie
and my pj bottoms
know its whats good for me
its my armor cause ive melted inside
the deepest reaches of the thickest evil
i’ve seen what the darkness is made of
its red and pulsing and screaming
forming the shape of a giant bleeding opera house with twisted intensine lining the ceiling with millions of terrified eyes and sounding like the final movement of beethovens 9th
the scariest music of all time in mine
i feel all this and im doing fine

Ideal
04:00

trying to feel something
the way i feel i ought to
when i see those two
see those three
see that kiss in
that movie
trying hard
not to flail
and scream
i can witness but i can’t seem to do it right for real
cause i hit this wall
hit that wall
hit this wall
doors gone now
hit the ceiling
and floor
now it just hurts
and it burns
wanna feel something
but i never ever can
wanna feel something
but i never ever can
i cant bring myself to conclude
that what i want is not you
cause im pretty sure you
are my type
thats why i fell hard and high
when you took me by the arm
with the gentlest force
gave the most amazing hug i was floored
when i try to tap into it all feels too dry
well i know fucking you is
great and being
held by you is great
and everything about you is great
i feel bad i can only take so much
before i have to decompress
i wish i didnt always feel sore in my skin
heartburn
soulburn
nah thats too cheesy
life as a ropeburn
for 10 years, okay maybe
pentecostal permafrost
the personal freedom that i tried to protect, misused
corrupted by and lost in the storm of abuse
in some sort of many ways i have a bad habit of idealizing ppl i love based on traits they show me that are the closest to my soulmate dream
do i just dream of a shape in the clouds holding me
telling me its ok
i can rest i dont have to be big anymore
i dont have to be scared and alone anymore
i can pick you up
and show you your favorite foods
your desk for making music
the world needs to hear you
im very determined to make sure you live to bring beautiful sounds to the world that will listen
i need to hear you always the art that you bring gives me life
gives me happiness
and i love you for that
ill always be here cause i know that your gift needs so much nurturing and ill give u that support
ill teach you to finally play the piano like youve always wanted to learn
just rest now
rest now
tomorrows a bright sunny day
i love you so much youre so driven and motivated to do good
you deserve all that youve ever dreamed of
all that you ever dreamed of

Glitter Pritch
03:23

she sits down in the grass
cranks the faucet to turn the garden hose on
puts her thumb on the mouth
sprays a tidal wave of fresh water
up through her eyes
and her nose
no surprise
her friends start to worry
she slowly turns her head
shes wide eyed wide smiled
she still has her fountain
shooting her face up
says “you will never remember
the very strange things I do won’t you
im just a blot of yr time”
she sees what she wants
she grasps just soap bubbles
left there
frizzy hair
like a brown bear
xe was a glitter pritch
prancin paisley in a thimble thong thunder
witch hazel in a ping pong plunder
glitter pritch girly
with a pritch, get a prick
and a bitch, all in one
she makes you pray for her
she makes you do a holy dance in her honor
she makes you bathe in her holy ink laden mouth-born cleansing water

dont throw me away
pls pls pls dont throw me away
burn down the wheat
burn down the rice
burn down the straw
with my head in a vice
rip out the trees
and bat out the houses
stomp in the barns
leave cheese for the mouses
the rich are reading my thoughts
stealing my notes and my ideas
putting out songs and jokes and other things
claiming it as their own
the rich are stealing my strokes
putting my vagus nerve into jeopardy
everything operates under cloak
wearing down everywhere all invisible
the rich delete my dead friends
everything ive loved just vanishes
the rich is stealing the human spirit
we believe in nothing
nothing
worth believing in
nothing
worth dying for
i wonder
who will steal from me
i wonder
who will profit off of me
oh whats that
you wanted a future
well fuck you
you dont get one
we dont want you
we dont care
i wonder
who will steal from me
i wonder
who will profit off of me
oh whats that
you wanted a future
well fuck you
so long
bye
not nice knowing you
DIE
i wonder
who will pave over my shantyhouse
i wonder
who will burn up my pantyhoses
i wonder
who will steal from me
i wonder
who will make a million off of
my words
my scars
my healing
my relapses
my pitfalls
all the errors of my every way
all my footprints undoubted in a blast of blacklight
follow the trail
where they vanish at the train station
i wonder
who will steal from me
i wonder
who will go to space with all of me
except me

Even a Fruit
05:31

darling it could be everybody. it can be everybody, if you let them. every heart, the most broken, even the most loved, the most whole, can hold evil inside it. dumbass! fucking idiot! looks like you gotta be Reschooled in matter of the soul……
the most tender hand when it touches power
it kills the tree makes the fruit fall free
even a fruit like me
once we stand like master or parent
an elder with a face torn in three
even a fruit like me
bookshelf fly through screaming at midnight
vacuum cleaner lands to my right
even a fruit like me
we see them again now this cant be real
theyre wearing dark shades and hair dyed teal
even a fruit like me
wanting to hold a body close
but you feel your body go comatose
even a fruit like me
can leave that curse
even a fruit like me can rot from the core through the skin and the seed
even a light like me can die in the season it was meant to be ripe
even a fruit like me can wear the skin of softness and still bear its teeth
even a mind like me could be lyin
could be lyin
manifesting the tools of command
paranoid and brainsick the wrong feet land
even a fruit like me
the destination may appear to be the same
but the road you take is one that i must flee
even a fruit like me
some folks learn to live one way
and one way only for eternity
even a fruit like me
some folks never listen once
crash through wishing to make their own key
even a fruit like me
some folks were just always bad
and it took one witch for them to unleash
even a fruit like me
even a fruit like me can rise from a grave where it was meant to stay
even a soul like me could seek shelter and protection through harm and deceit
even a fruit like me can wear the skin of softness and still bear its teeth
even a mind like me could be lyin
could be lyin
even a fruit they say can let out ugly demons in an ugly way
even a fruit like me has a ghost of a chance
on a path split between
even a fruit like me can be a tool of government security
even a voice like me can do nothing but cloud truth from belief
even a fruit like me can see something to gain from people suffering
even a fruit would never bother tryin’
oh for fucks sake
for once in my life
let me be surprised
