Pedestal

I am everywhere.
I stare down at you from the billboard heights
I watch you from the bus stop bench.
I watch you as you turn the pages of magazines.
As you mindlessly click browse the internet,
and as you exercise your right to surf channels.

I am in love you;
but not nearly as much.
As you
are in love
with me.

Gaze upon my flesh, my eyes, that I may feel exalted,
that you may absorb everything I am,
be empowered and destroyed
by our contrast
our similarity.



Get on your knees,
You pathetic, worthless lot.
Confess with your lips your desire to be made in my image,
That my work on earth may be done.

Clairaudrients

Am I destroying my brother?
Am I destroying myself?
Perhaps I have gone too far.
Crossed a line.
Awoken a beast that cannot sleep.
Can I shoot it?
It rustles in the reeds, it sounds like rolling thunder.

The steel melts in my sweaty grasp

I am so afraid of everything,
of everyone.
Will someone press pause?
I need time to think.

So many things can destroy me,
A herd of cancers in this concrete jungle
that trample me,
leave me immobile,
leave me crippled.
