Disturbing


She told me that a friend
of hers at heard of me and
exclaimed
he's disturbing to read
now
i like that
disturbing
to read
like popping pills
or pushing the
plunger down
like big knives
and rusty razors
i'm
fucking
disturbing
let
me
disturb
you
too



Cuts, After


I'm not a Vietnam vet like some
but I have my own nightmares,
skulls of dreams that shatter me.
Some I even have while I'm
asleep.

I sharpen knives for fun. I used
to use them on me, but it's been
awhile and the scars have faded
quite a bit and now I sit back and
listen to Type O Negative and
Ministry, dreaming of the blood
that ran down my arms, leaving
rivers of life. Almost glowed
in the dark.



Parting Ways


They dragged me inside an
office and said we know you're
looking for other work (how the
hell did they find that out -
reading my email I guess), so
why don't we go ahead and
part ways now. That way
you'll have plenty of time to
look for another job. Nice
was of putting it. They
already had a resignation
letter prepared for me. When
I signed, I felt the sense of
freedom I hadn't felt since
I last slit my wrists.
