Here are some really bad poems that I wrote sometime in 1991, my senior year of high school.

Thoughts Upon Sitting in a Coffee Shop
Thinking too much
liquid creme fills

would i lie
down to sleep
pray, why?
where’s the stop
and
who’s the go
forsaken

stark raving
staining naked
strong imp-
ulses
sweating
pushing
neverending
meaty pounding
breathless pouring
sweltering heat
invigorating

Solidity
nothing’s solid
stone is water
and immediate
interviews
swallowing garbage
Bavarian Rum
nut coconut
how come
I swim
and think
about your
tasteless joy
of pain
pencils
paper
pen
near at hand
toys escaping
meandering
elephaunts
meandering
elephaunts
meandering
elephaunts

The selfish beach
entices
invites
excites
blue lagoon
shallow
pears
and
semi-conscious
drunken nights
without you
by my side

Time Alone
is time wasted
Thoughts unprovoked
churning Images
fierly flashes
embittered taunts
purple haunts
and lonely
Lonely nights
spent eating
wild dreams
unconscious driving
while spreading
vicious intoxication
throughout unmelodious
refugees
where do I
Begin?

choclaty smells
surrounding the bells
effervescent bears
crying alligator tears
blue yellow walls
and unrighteous calls
black watch
sticky clutch
rumoured bellowing
friends hello-ing
why’n’t
craydn’t
overflow
burnt paper
neatly rowed
spoons
of turquoise and green
opals begetting rubies
on the fringe

of the mind
you’re much too kind
really I couldn’t accept
of course
well
maybe
are you sure
you don’t have, too
many pardons
dangerous parents
stifling triggers
fingers crawling
crawling fingers
scrawled upon
the obtuse prison
the heart’s not
overly primed
because of my
reasonless
