Unabashed
or even that funny most of the time
you know i'd be lying
if I said something nice
I take the time to notice
the subtle instances
ignoring
the pleasant and the absurd things I don't mean
so clearly you're clueless by thinking
that there's a spot for you here and you're missing
the baggage you brought is too much and now you can't fit

you can't fit

3.

you lock the door
to the bathroom at your
friends house
parties like this get so loud

in the shower
drinking a beer
you can't stand to see
your reflection in the vanity mirror

shutter to think i've been at it all wrong
no one likes you on the internet
starting to think i've been doing it wrong
can hardly understand javascript

you lock the door
to your bedroom
it's just so hard
going out is just so hard
you don't do it anymore

shutter to think i've been doing it wrong
no one likes you on the internet
starting to think i've been at it all wrong
can hardly understand javascript

javascript?

how you kept it temporary

It's getting easier to worry about my short term memory.
its hard to believe that despite every day feeling increasingly the same
you cling to the things that keep them interesting

 but i’m clocked out on the bad times
 reading pretty good advice
an editorial on how to smile through it

but then it sinks in
in 4D from behind and in front of me
its all already happened
and always happening
when the progress bar is buffering

talking about the hard times
waking up is never as nice
as in commercials for coffee

you gotta
own what it is you’re feeling
i take things so slowly
understandably
but inevitably something unexpected
comes undone

editorial on how to smile through it

43.
wish your friends the very best
and expect the same from them
an incredible amount of confidence

give thanks where it needed some
seize the day from the comfort of your home
seize the day from the comfort of your phone

feeling out what’s okay to say to my friends
screening my songs and conversations

i came across some old pictures from
Joe Roskopf's graduation
my heart is warm
my heart is full again

if you feel bad
it’s completely relatable



Pomp & Circumstance pt.II

44.

like the outline
of painted over graffiti
you’re the outline
of something seething
i can’t explain
the baby birds peaking out the facia
waiting for mom
i follow my demons
when i see them

call for submissions is coming up
and i
can’t write under pressure
and i
won’t be too sour
if i don’t make it in i swear!

call for submissions

45.

salt and pepper are friends by proximity
ya gotta think about the friends you think you need to  keep
and yet i’ll close the door on everyone indiscriminately
when you come over just to leave
i have little sympathy

fair-weather friends were never friends
it’s an over sight, an ugly one at that

it / that

47.

rustles from the ceiling
i heard you making love on the second floor
the writhing example of:
it’s all cyclical

am i equipped to judge? no

i shut  out the people  i love so easily
it sounds so night and day 
when you put it that way
out of context it all gets so strange
the jobs i refuse to leave but keep taking

it’s a familial habit
despite how estranged
i’m not equipped to judge even myself!

do you get what you want from your friends?
or are you just an unwitting participant.

social status says you did it to yourself,
oh yes you did

the dog just wants you to have fun

quick dog

ether

50.

monogamy is a type of wood
and i got a sliver
but you talked me through it

i got blood on the bathroom floor
makes me wonder how much blood 
has been there before

before

i dug it out
the hole gaping
i reached my whole hand in
and pulled out clumps of hair
i dug it out

these macabre thoughts return to me often

sliver

51.

the grass touching her knees
there was a sick feeling
in the fauna and the sunlight
a departure in each step, higher than the last
her legs are uncomfortable
in the broken tv screen
there's something familiar in the static

she opened her eyes
in brand new packaging
feeling alright

iota

just the boy trying to figure out his DAW.

as of Oct 13th 2015, I will write and produce a new song every week for a year.
