It doesn't have to rhyme!
Her arm against the chainsaw
A monstrous mechanical maw
The pain continues to persist
Therefore she refuses to resist
And thus the saw is turned on
An instant later the arm is gone
Seeing her arm at her side
The pain in her head subsides
Unsure of what to do next
Her phone blinks from a text
Who could be texting her, now
And not thinking this through, ow
As the shock begins to wear off
She suppresses regrets with a scoff
She’s feeling dizzy, sleepy and hurt
She dreams of her nomadic life, in a yurt
And one last thought for her friends
To the lot of whom she frequently lends
Her countless books in mint condition
Only to get them back through extradition
Of the books of hers they’d keep
And not one for one final, deep sleep
She vehemently refuses to die
Her phone she spots with her eye
She dials using her good arm
To lure paramedics with her charm
Even though that’s not necessary
Later she finds out one’s named Larry
He asks her all sorts of questions
Trying to protect her from infections
He quickly dresses her wound
But he fears that she is doomed
He finally asks what did this to her
The ambulance now going much faster
Never too fond of perjury
She says “self inflicted injury”

Bedroom legs at 5 a.m.
My domain is street fighter
Let me dazzle you
That's all I've ever wanted. Only a few have truly delivered. I revel in losing, it means I'm being challenged. It means I'm challenging myself to step up my game. Pun intended. That's about it, there's really not much more to it. I've been good at Street fighter for most of my life and will continue to do so until I die.
Maybe I won't die though. I am being a bit pessimistic, assuming I'll die. Maybe I'll transcend the boundaries of this life and live on in pixel form. I could come back as a Street Fighter arcade machine and live out my afterlife as two dimensional illustrations. But then how would I see? I would be flat and always facing my, also flat, opponent. That would be maddening. I would see nothing but a thin line that would get closer or further. I guess I would look that way to the computer anyway. So what does it matter.
Alas, that would suck. People who don't know how to play or play well, would play me. Pun intended. I would get sucked into fights I can't win. I would have to depend on his physical abilities. They pull me in promises of hardships. I receive little to nothing. One day I will find someone new. Coherency not necessary.

Jokes? I like jokes...
Do you not know what that is?
It's a gun , of course
So some funny stuff is coming your way. Do you have that anticipation? Like when you're at a concert, a comedy club, a sporting event. Just before it starts, you're brimming with anticipation. It's almost too much to bear, as the curtains part, the lights dim, the spotlight centres. Even if the show sucks, you still had that anticipation, and that was fun, however short it may have been.
So back to the funny stuff. Are you ready? Here it is. Black people choosing to sit on the back of the bus. Really, guys? This is what we're doing now? Alright... And then there are Jews sending their kids off to camp for the summer. Really, guys? This is what we're doing now? Alright... Finally there are the Armenians who eat Turkeys for Thanksgiving. Actually that last one is pretty awesome. If you don't get it then don't worry about it. But I'm sure the people who read this are knowledgeable enough to get it. Notice how I didn't say educated enough? I know you did. Good job.
So this is the third paragraph that I've started with the word so. But I'm sure you've caught on to that as well. Here's another pat on the back. Well, a voucher for one anyone, redeemable the next time you see me in person (must print this blog entry and provide at time of redemption).
So that's about it. I hope you found that funny. If you didn't then so what? So you think you're deserving of funny, like it's owed to you or something? You've got some nerve. Whatever, you can suck it.
So leave a comment, subscribe, join the RSS, whatever you have to do to get me to know you like me or hate me. Just don't be indifferent. I couldn't bear that.
There's always something coming
Better be prepared

Joy Division
I mean I knew it happened
There's a name for it
She waits for him to come
His stench most fearsome
And just as quickly he leaves
She patiently waits for the next one
Terrible can’t begin to describe
The thing she’s endured in life
Not one of her choosing
Rife with pain and strife
Now with her belly swelling
Her hate would know no quelling
An unwilling participant
Of the child’s father there would be no telling
Even then she knows no rest
Continually questioning God’s cruel test
A part of her dies
Every time they ask “who’s next?”
When finally she does give birth
All she has in abundance is dearth
No one’s left to mourn her passing
Merciful is her exit from Earth
At his birth there is no joy
Crueler still is the sex, a boy
Better a culprit than a victim
The future owner of another dejected toy
Worry not for there is a happy ending
And your view of reality requires no bending
For war is perpetual and man will not know peace
On any living creature
Except those who do

It's been a while
But only in the darkness
As if it matters
Know that I love you
Even though I don't know you
Hard as that may be

That doesn't make any sense!
That had burned out long ago
It takes eight minutes
The landing is a clean one; as clean a landing as any. The passengers evacuate their seats, carrying their trophy hams. Outside on the tarmac, the welcoming committee awaits. It consists mainly of refurbished Victorian furniture, with a few world war 2 veterans thrown in for good measure. As the passengers leave the massive, winged, SUV, using the provided slip 'n slide apparatus, something strange begins to occur. Rather than welcoming the returning guests home, the committee began shouting obscenities. Being one to take offense, I retaliate with automatic fire from my ar-15. The crowd disperses, the furniture doesn't stand a chance. I mow through rows of antique chairs, dressers, tables. Hours later, I would find out that the cheese did in fact, not belong to anyone. But I digress, I began to reload when I noticed that my goat guide had dipped into my reserve of avalanche honey. I became infuriated at once. It had taken me years to extract the honey from the pores of bears, vacationing in Vienna during the uncle celebrations. I turn my weapon of indiscriminate life giving onto my former friend and ally. The goat returns the favour in kind. A small red line appears under my Canadian spelling. The lacking of any paragraphical formatting also becomes evident to me, as does the use of a word not yet in existence. There we stand, an old Ethiopian stand off. By now the passengers are going through the shreds of fabric and wood that once was their welcoming party; their eyes filled with pastry custard as they grieve. Neither the goat nor I mind any pay to this matter. In fact, the only thing that matters, to the two of us, is the shape of the moon's fast approaching crescent from underneath the matte rug. He blinks. I fire. The act of self preservation, echoed a thousand times over in the splattering of brain matter across the ballroom floor. He has children. I am aware of this fact. The casing evaporates before it hits the ground. I smile and hold up a roll of Mentos to an unseen audience; breaking the fourth wall, only, there is no fourth wall. There is just me. And then there is not.
They smile uncontrollably
And they don't know why

God said, let there be _______
God decided to make man
After man made god
What if god had said, let there be jello. Would there really have been jello? Or would the universe utterly reject such a ridiculous demand and nullify his will. Would the universe bend to gods will if god was a woman? Why do humans think that a supreme being would have a sex? Why would something omnipotent have the need for a sex? Let's just say god has a sex. Let's say that sex is female. Would the universe do the bidding of a woman more readily than that of a man? What if, and this is a hypothetical if, god didn't care?
As I understand it, the god that most people believe in has many human flaws. So let's say god is real and did create man. He or she, decided to create this vast universe, then just focus on a small tiny part of it. In this tiny corner of the universe it created a planet that was capable of sustaining life. It did not create any other planets that were capable of such a miracle because it is lazy. Then one day it decides to create life on this one planet that it's focused on. On it, it creates all sorts of life. But like most humans, it loses interest very quickly. After about a couple of years, it just says to hell with it and moves on.
On to what, or where? Who knows, who cares? What if it came back, and told us all it was there, watching over us. Would we accept it with open arms or would we bemoan it's existence because of all the suffering that we must endure? Who even cares.
This is my life, and it's ending one blog entry at a time.
Living in a lonely world
Took the midnight train

One more for the road
The air around her crackled with anticipation of the coming thunder. She turned back to the forest, a large cloud was looming overhead. She took another drink, stared for a moment the river, that seemed to flow on endlessly, then headed back for the trees. This time she saw the lightning land somewhere among the trees. The thunder that followed didn't startle her though. It was only ever the first that would get her, she could and would adjust quickly.
In the forest she saw him sitting in a small clearing. She hadn't seen him in a very long time but she knew it was him. He didn't move to greet her, she was hesitant to approach him as well. All these years on her own, she'd forgotten what life with others was like. The rain had soaked him to the bone but he dared not move out of it. She refrained from entering the clearing but sat at the edge, still sheltered by the foliage above. They stared at one another. His head dipped but his gaze never left her.
The rain slowed to a drizzle, an acceptable level of wetness for her. She moved beside him and sat down. He lowered his head again, as if ashamed. She moved her face next to his, he smelled just like she remembered. Before they made contact, she woke up.
Huddled in a small corner of a burnt out building, in a nest of soggy cardboard and assorted plastic tarps. She got up, the pain in her joints had returned. Just outside the doorway that no longer housed a door, a grey pool of water was collecting. She took a drink on her way out. She paused in the middle of the street, the ash had started to cover her coat again. Nothing in sight ahead. Before she was able to turn back, a sudden force knocked her down.
A sharp burning sensation rushed through her chest. Blood oozed out of the small hole that had just been created seconds earlier. Numbness overtook her body, the pain in her joints disappeared. She closed her eyes one last time. Maybe she'd see him again.
