Old Verse

I don't have as much to say to this thing as I did when I first got it, so I'm gonna start chucking in things I've written in the past. Old poetry, short stories, etc. Figure it'll give you guys a reason to keep reading and maybe I'll get some helpful comments for when I decide to start writing again. The first thing is a series of poems called "The Misanthrope Beat." Every one has a story and a person in mind. Comment comment comment, kids.

The Misanthrope Beat

I
“The Big Idea”

I try to think
well
of you

but you’re only human
and will
never be good enough

for me.

II
“Every Time”

I stay detached
but you follow

I shelter myself from you
but I can’t get away

You’re seeking me
and I try to get you off
but you can’t seem to get
the beautiful meaning
of “one-night stand”

Trust me, you don’t want me

We’re better off unknown
alone
far, far apart.

III
“Stop!”

This is it!
Let go,
Release me,
Set me free
from your wench ways.
If you do not end the constant
hugging
in the next three seconds,
I’m going to throw you off.
The warm look
on your face
pulled from some joy of touching me
will be terminated.
Let me go, or I will drop you.
Three, two…

IV
“Clockstopper”

I will watch
your clocks
like a bureaucrat
(me)
chasing
his dream
(you.)

I will stand
in
your yard
singing a song
that will make
you
love me.

Please, baby,
lift the restraining order.

V
“Internet Video”

There
are few worse
feelings
than
watching
a video
of a
bad decision
that you
don’t
remember
making.
