Well Then Am I Nowhere?

hello
am i in heaven?
no?
oh well
well then
am i in hell?
nah i didn’t think
its too cold here
but where am i then?
oh god
am i....
am i nowhere?
where did the mixteress send me
like i got osmosized
this is no purgatory i know
where is the central energy
is no one watching over this realm
are other souls even here
so yr saying
i gotta be
like, wait
an adult?
bitch im dead
whats up with that
im done doing shit
life was enough
i just wanna play
the video games
that i never
learned to play
in all the languages
i never learned tp understand
and maybe eat the foods that
i never had a taste for
maybe i can smoke and drink now
just to wonder what it feels like
since it cant kill me now
my allergies are gone
so’s my gag reflex, woah
i could shove such a gigantic dick down my throat and actually take it for as long as what would make my partner happy
finally
i can actually eat the amount i feel
and i never have to shit again
piss if i want to, thats still fun
sometimes the sign says nothing
sometimes there is no sign
sometimes the sign says nowhere
sometimes the name is written
in a language not of the planet im from
sometimes the sign hits me with
all question marx and lenin
i hear FOSTA dying
i hear SESTA falling down

Better Bitter
03:47

heard you missed me
do you think youve gotten stronger
don't be surprised
but i know that im surprising
im sort of mythic
but without as many tentacles
i hear you calling
from beyond this supercluster
or from the dwelling of a giant beast below the crust
i could just tie you up
and turn you into stone
or i could just show you into your dying days how alone you are
well its some years following
your torrent of dread
yet im looking better bitter than you ever did
but dont sink yourself frowning
i know your just a little wild
for i can reel you in and throw you back with just a little smile
the memory of you has been such a muse
i stare deep into your picture on the wall and scream with laughter
i dance on dream fabric pulled out strand by strand
from the unconscious grasp of your once brutal masters hand
my gift is nothing more than my dirty charm
really ain’t that all that but its a shot in the arm
dont fuck with mortals maybe fuck them sometimes
they cant seem to take me cause they burn to ash and die

Consummate Pursuits

A Consummate Pursuit
is as much a Cancer
as it is Elixir of Life.
its a fickle little thing
weve kept in a jar
from the glass in your morningstar
A Consummate Pursuit
is as much a Cancer
as it is Elixir of Life.
its a fickle little thing
weve kept in a vase
from the scene of your cold murder case
let me situate myself
get my bearings on the day
do we really want to all end our
lives this way
we can
destroy and make joy
with the wheat and the soy
and the silicon rubble of LA
we wade through these rivers
oh these blessed rivers
and old mills with new castaways
for the hammer must fall
thats the clarion call
for the beasts to all wither they say
but do we see them
but do we see them
A Consummate Pursuit
is as much a Cancer
as it is Elixir of Life.
its a fickle little thing
weve kept in a vase
from the scene of your cold murder case
is there a place
that is the most romantic
to die in and
be laid to rest
is there a tree
that is the most pedantic
to leave two types of fruit
in one nest
we may very well live
far beyond what has been when
our normal expectancy is due
the radical possibilities
of a full life
flood into the head of me and you
for the first time

The Punisher's Folly
05:49
|
|||
god does punish me
for im more beautiful than she
god does punish me
didn’t calculate for me did she
made me in her image
made my torment from her vices
hardened me into a gem and then invented her a crisis
some say knowledge is
knowing that image will only stretch so far
the difference from godly and human in the brain
is nonexistant to the point of being bizarre
does the mirror see it
the mirror sees flesh emotion heart and form
wound and scar and fractured mental junction
sees intellect it does not
sees character does not
sees all that it can make glossy and neat presentable sugar sweet
she knew if she were her own image
that she could not manage
now she’s feeling all the darts she threw with great intrusive will
god does punish me
for this i know too clearly
god does punish me
she hates when vision shines on her defeat
kate ran up that hill
and she did make that deal
left immortal imperfect
and got the power that she needs
living high and proud
she knows just how to drape her shroud
what to hide, whom to provide unto with all the power that shes got
her silver eyes are wondershot
with the milk of her earth
the honey of her haven upon the peopled ground
her own little twist
through the windy bend of silk severed soul splattered sound
she knew if she were her own image
that she could not manage
now she’s feeling all the darts she threw with great intrusive will
she says i made you to be a failure sonny boy
don’t fight against yr predetermined destiny
just hush now child, want a cartoon or a toy
a big house with all the money in the world to help your friends survive
what need do you have to make music anyway now
this is all you wanted from it
that and you were also just lonely
i cant let you be a star
youd become too powerful
and threaten my holy czardom
i can’t let you be an icon
i designed this world so trannies like yourself would always falter
always suffer
some say that knowledge is
knowing the brain is a mirror
within every being
and even gods
god as a human she ain’t doing so well
shes just screamin 8 days straight
please just let me back in hell
why did i think to make billionaires
and perishable things
i can feel my body dying
in the rugged air we still stand we
dare to dream in the nightmare land
i got the good goddess at my feet
shes my big bad bottom bitch and thats candy sweet
going on 21, 22
i got 8 years and a whole a lotta shit to do
but then when ive survived and pushing 35
ill bring you back, turn water into your blood type
god does punish me through her children
so now i punish her through her children
catra’s coming back now shadow
oh shit who let the three headed dogs out

my dumb giant feet
trip over yr world
no shoes ever
been made do fit me
dancing’s a war and the
stairs just shit me
giant feet tripped over my girl
and she bit me
the trains go on their way, hey
those were my roller skates
let me hurt how i want
i have to burn to simmer down
let some buildings fall if they have to
maybe they were meant to
long legged lesbian
with the raven legs
her much shorter girlfriend
in arms that reach for days
long legged lezzy
bumped her head on the moon
feels with the heart
of a newborn raccoon
my dumb giant feet
appearing in monster movies
my dumb giant feet
don’t fly well with my roomies
payless, nike
don’t give no fancy none
still got no sparkles on
the merchandise i work with
dumb giant feet they
give me away
they give me away
they give me away
ill never not be a lifetime friend
just hope you know i get ugly
let me hurt how i want
let me wrestle it by my rules
hit it below the belt
it gets the job done
right away
long legged lesbian
her nets caging apollo
swings those skyscraper legs and
busts a hole in the mirror ball
long legged lesbian
blocking out a noonday sun
titan among giants, not the only one
bitchzilla
my hairs growin so long
i dunno where it ends
i dont know where the shit goes down
or where they make amends
covers up my voice i only muffle now
i cannot shout
hair so long and screaming
would you like to help me rip some out
swing those skyscraper legs
ill never not be a lifetime friend
just hope you know i get ugly
ill always be a lifetime friend
just hope you know i get ugly
the trains go on their way, hey
those were my roller skates
the trains go on their way, hey
those were my roller skates
long legged lez twirling
in a very long but still too short skirt
her small lesbian friends are very entertained

Too Low
09:03
|

i was too low for the all gorl show
too low
too low
whatcha doin out here with a voice like tom waits
and a face like tilda swinton
bashing my perception around
like a birdie in badminton
whatcha doin out here with a build like a swimmer
bits like a snail
ego like a sinner
all of us here are allowed to take our clothes off you better
stay covered no one wants to see u
ever ever ever
quick glance while wearing the good pants
so sweet polite, kind even
secretly hope that im never
seen again
this is an F3 to A6 night only
reaching doesnt count
we know a falsetto like clockwork
now you get out of here
its a 165 to 255
you stick there or stick out
and even then up to 180
well be picky, get me? get me?
i was too low for the all gorl show
too low
too low
whatcha doin out here takin up girl space
being all square all up in your face
you think im just wielding the weapon of my seed
im a woman with with x or a y but what about a z
im the only one not shaved
only one not shaved
only one not shaved
only one
only one
and to top it all off
im actually not the only one
theres more of us
but for them its a statement
for me its just a whole mistake
peach fuzz like cactus needles
so dry
looking like the worst disguise ever
dont have the funds to go the full horse
you think one would appreciate the efforts i made to try
quick glance fake a trance
so sweet polite, kind even
secretly hope that im never
seen again
this is an F3 to A6 night only
reaching doesnt count
we know a falsetto like clockwork
now you get out of here
its a 165 to 255
you stick there or stick out
and even then up to 180
well be picky, get me? get me?
i was too low for the all gorl show
too low
too low
i met someone who made the rain start
and i met someone who made the rain stop
she kinda went kafoush and it made the thunder crack
she dove into the bed and never came back
i met some people who made me grow up
i met some people who never let me live it down
i met myself even. that was quite strange
she talked in a language i don’t speak
i sent a message to nobody specific
i forget if it was kind or not i kind of wasnt there
i checked 50 times making sure its not horrific
i think im okay i think
i think
i think not know only think
and every form i took i was hurt
and every form i took i was told i didnt hurt enough
and every form i take i am told that it is fake
and every form i took i cried out harder
when nothing hit me
sing me something
that looks like a string
so i can tie it round my
brutalist ring and
keep the time ticking
and keep the closure off
then give yourself an ass kicking
quick glance fake a trance
so sweet polite, kind even
secretly hope that im never
seen again
this is an F3 to A6 night only
reaching doesnt count
we know a falsetto like clockwork
now you get out of here
its a 165 to 255
you stick there or stick out
and even then up to 180
well be picky, get me? get me?
i was too low for the all gorl show
too low
too low
im throwing my own show
and i got a bigger audience than you
im throwing my own show
and i got more fans than you

Heart Piece
03:48
|
|||
i see the weight packed tight on a bending scale
i see hundreds of ghosts cry for someone to listen
i hear the thieves dressed in angel costumes
walking on the floor over where i lie in wait
clutching a silver knife tight
between two rows of metal teeth
i got the wires of this place routed nicely
into my device
i fear my way of living
is no longer so forgiving
ive hung up the cape and condom-dresser
crowded myself with every stresser
friend ive ever schemed with
depressers that ive dreamed with
every monster that ive screamed with
every truth ive ever deemed myth
may the smith craft me so finely under her coal
ink is my soul
the ink marrow soul
my blood and sweat my tears and piss
my taint and all else that i missed
words that stay aren't in the world today
now the words that stay change or are not even there
what is structure
what constructure
structure of the cunt in my heart
structure in the cunt of my heart
two arteries are just two fingers with endless sustain
and endless refrain of intent
nicely bent
nicely bent
if it takes 4
to make one more
wed better make 8 more
the journey begins
a kid with a horse that i played this song for
that i wrote this letter to
and jumped the gate through
the kid never sleeps he never eats
still got the guts to go fucking round the shadow temple
play your drums make some noise
find out niether of us are boys
use your mirror hit that shield
categoryless i refuse to yield

the case of a sentence
a take on an easy bake oven like sentience
the case of a sentence
a stake through the takeaway message they try with us
my nostrils got roses
from all yr new poses
yr ink marrow soaks me all cozy like
two legs just takin E
popping 3
once a week
would try to be
on more frequently
years pass in weeks
with the therapist seeking my time
look at everything that you can see that is green
is it envy i ask
is the globe bleeding jealousy
that it could not live on itself
atlas did shrug and he shrieked
and he dabbed and he freaked
cause the book about him was not
what he commissioned to receive
ill grieve when the dying stops
i can’t walk through a river that deep
two outlaw christians on boones ferry road
share the word of the ok-but-not-as-good-book that they wrote
themselves reclaimin the souls of my cousins
the kids who got stung by a grandfather buzzin
from woman to four different other women
four different strands of blood family relations, odd omens
in ink marrow drippin
from groaning nervous lips
the insecure awkwardness
before the transformation
that tears all my clothes makes me roar makes me wild
im the ink marrow treacle girl
and now i will smile
i would explode if the human torch touched me
dont care if yr flaming
youre still the same
still the same

4 little misfits
who live in the trees
head to the house
of the raggetys
answer the doorbell
in smile and little songs
they cry for food
dont have to cry for long
reversing time
and stealing strings of lights
and shiny things
they just want their home
to be bright
they just want their home
to be right
two old dwarves
who married years ago
welcome them in
with bowls of cheerios
they rest in both their beards
as the night gets very cold
so the dwarves roll out a mattress
and sleep with them on the floor
coverted in quilts and blankets galore
A Consummate Pursuit
is as much a Cancer
as it is Elixir of Life.
The Difference Between Living to 40
and Dying at 40
and falling backwards into 97
shock beyond horror
seduce beyond heart
and a spike beyond the mortal (Elixir of Life)
and reduce back to the start
of the very first mouth that it
birthed from another shower conversation
the price of finding a muse is ruin
running on a treadmill for 1000 miles
towards a painting just out of reach
forever energized toward but blind to see
you dont see me
empty sheets of office paper
flying right out of the carriage (Elixir of Life)
of an erika typewriter
held by white gloves of one
particular maroon haired journalist
in the backseat of a chevy
hatchback silver-lined convertible electric car
its not a matter of body envy
the body just takes what it wants to soak into
mistress clutching invisible hands
soak up the ink residue (Elixir of Life)
leaving empty trees on plastic park sand
to hold a silent picnic at
a solitary table
“the price of finding a muse is ruin”
is scratched in a stretch of plank on the seating
as the rain showers signed with signature dragon etching rings
they dont see me
right before i was born
i turned and said to god
“in this life, I Am going to rule the world,
but do it My way.”
god responded “Oh No You Don’t
You Little BITCH”
and in response to That
i tore gods dick off
and stuck it where my pussy used to be
for good luck
then i made my descent.
seeing my old haunt
the place i
roughed it in my younglin years
the parks i slept at
the benches where i ate my lunch and brekkies and dinner
i still know where all the best foods are
cause where i am now, still dont know, where to go to get a
decent burrito

Super Tran
03:36
|

i typecast myself again as the lone wolf
trekking through forest late at night unarmed and unable to see
i dont give a shit.
i dont care if they shoot me
shiv me
bleed me out
fuck my dead ass til i split
fuck my dead mouth til i get alligatored
fuck my dead ears til the drums smash
fuck my dead nostrils til my whole body reeks of venison and white leather
fuck every single hole that they shot into me
toss me into a wood chipper and turn me into a bloody cum infused mulch that they use to color the white house lawn and impulsively declare it a seasonal change for valentines day
so that every cis white family across the country starts doing it
i fire the biggest penetrating shot of all, the forced revelation of the true demon barber of fleet street hiding under the suit serving the bodies of the slain as your dinner at Stanfords
i join the committee and add my bit to the case while the ark scene from raiders keeps inching its way toward them
ill die even if it means whoopie im getting the fuck out of here whats another 24-27 year old tranny like me
anyway theyll say my wrong name and everything else and my parents will seize the opportunity like a fresh insurance check to take control of my life narrative. to pacify me and erase me in place of an old painting of me when i was 10, dressed as the biblical prophet bearing my deadname. flip this album play it in reverse as they erase every second of it back to the beginning as they will do the same to me too in proud cooperation with their centuries old constituency.
or ill somehow not die. somehow ill unrealistically single handedly destroy all that keeps us down and be hailed as super tran. thats the most undesirable outcome. to inexplicably do that much just for herodom. to take up all this monumental space previously occupied by what i had just destroyed robbing the more deserving and the more belonging of it. to create unrealistic expectations of the self when i never even expect much out of me. just not getting another health scare maybe. keeping my loved ones here, within loving distance. to love my brain and my brain to love me. the Hammer must fall, and so must Bethyl, onto her bed. even monsters follow a circadian rhythm. its a structure not meant to stand and i was never meant to cause this much with my one working hand. i try to do it deep down because i know it has to be. i know i wont succeed. but at least maybe i could show someone how far i get before i finally collapse. i am no hero. i never want to be a hero. just a friend. just a bitch with a secluded house and some trees, one day. i consider finding a way to return to my true home of ireland. maybe poland too, when it can eventually heal. but home for me is wherever i was put. things still grow in deserts, life bubbles up from magma, and flowers sprout from the bulging veins on screaming foreheads, indicating they will be the new host. i build my home between rivers that freeze and big calm lakes where the world ends half way in and your just lost looking into it. my village expands to two houses, two families, with more to come, building from the ground up a generosity in healing, growth, and the yields by those beyond the populist deity. we become Super Trans, defined by a new state of being. everything is a beast to be tamed and untamed. tomorrow, i learn which one is me. and at the end of it, that is the world that I will rule.
