Autoplay and the Ms. Presets

Autoplay and the Ms. Presets

Bang Bang Bang
Autoplay
The Ms. Presets play drums, bass, guitar.
Autoplay holds mic ,
licks the tip-
says it takes better moist.
Ms. Preset 1 says he licks too much
and takes off down off the stage.
Ms. Preset 2 says she can't believe she was 2 to 1
and takes off without a face.
And Ms. Preset 3 says he autoplays too much,
and grasps him by the mic before she leaves.
And Autoplay, to his dismay- don't care,
cause he's stuck in autoplay right now

Frank

Frank

The man was aptly named-
his bluntness rewarded him with a purse:
in the face.

So

So

conjuction
of ambiguity,
a word
of hopeful joining
or awkward departing;
having nothing to speak of more.

A Forced, Unpoetic, Teaching in Making

A Forced, Unpoetic, Teaching in Making

Know the end before the beginning,
See your beginning and make it as good as the end,
Fill in the rest mindlessly-
by guiding the journey with a light hand,
but when things get rough
crack the whip
and bloody the screen
and set things on course again.

Have your preparations ready.
Having more is better than bringing less-
even if you throw out most of it
the thought was noticed-
don't push
the subject it will come back around
when they ask for it later- proving:
don't throw it all out.

During the action,
don't worry about the past
it will only confuse the present
and consequently-
the future.
But don't forget it,
because just at the beginning must be as good as the end,
the end must match the beginning.

The Trouble of Losing Thoughts

The Trouble of Losing Thoughts

I just had this rather coherant moment,
but I think I lost a part of it;
That thing I had to say-
it was there...
on the tip...
of that that thing...
in my...
where...
how...
...

Hearts in Hearts

Hearts in Hearts

Break it
Break the thing in your chest
Break the thing that hides a face
Break the thing that keeps you back
Break the thing that holds another's heart

Tissue
Tissue
Rip
Tear
Torn

Release them
They'll help you repair
And you'll have hearts together
Pieced like jigsaws
And glued with mortar
A cardhouse for the ages

Bars and Tone -or- Insessant:Beginnings

Bars and Tone
-or-
Insessant:Beginnings

Limbo found us- you- I.
It is in the depths of night,
in libdo crushing, call girl commercials,
missed high school diploma advertizements,
and two hour drawn infomercials.
Watched the weather network till dawn,
they said it'd be sunny,
and there's the sun, peeking the horizon;
is this heaven?

Models Wanted

Models Wanted

Notice that girl-
especially that boy-

So pretty.
And there is something about them.

Something lasting- longing.
Eyes- unsparked.

That's it!
That's why I'm drawn!

Look: vacant.
It: I'll fill.

The Space Between Releases

The Space Between Releases

The space between releases
a dry one
void of epiphany
and ephemeral duality.

Water on two sides
what a shame
to be tied
tether.

A stretch
ache
choke
steel collar.

Throat bleeding
reaching
too ignorant to think
pull the spike.

-Matthew Koutzun

Scratch

Scratch

The beginning
of something new,
is an exciting venture,
a toilet hugging,
nerve tip ends cutting,
throat, heel, back of knee slitting,
that spurts out sheets of joy
and contrasted miraculous pain.

Bandage that
and you have the middle,
and the healing process,
the settling of sand,
the foundation of the blocks-set,
and this is moment,
in all truth,
is when things really have begun.

-Matthew Koutzun

Pretty Pony

Pretty Pony

Oh yeah, you must be really merry,
that look of maurading horror on your face,
from the pole driven through your chest,
protruding from your back up to the sky.

But at least you have the children.
They ride you pretty hard.
You'd think you were a "professional",
I just say that to remind you of the pole in you.

And don't worry about missing out on life-
your experiencing it quite appropriately,
sadly just like the rest of us,
spinning around violently, when we gonna puke?

After This big Orgasm

After This big Orgasm

A pivotal moment
to be had
be shared
exclusively by the right hand of God.
Brought down from unmentionables,
crucified onto bedposts,
bound and broken
slept in all day.
Catch my -------
in your mouth
and drink to the glory
of a Zeus in your midst.
Jehovah came
to view it
and sat on the recliner,
and had to have a smoke after.
It was all too much
and now it's gone,
and I sit at home
with these three.
Watching -down to the ground,
you people don't know,
how good you have it,
to relish in life that you live.

Sadism's Silence

Sadism's Silence

You're torturing me now
you know?
I kind of tortured you,
but that was an accident baby,
I didn't realized that I neglected your
three
attempts...
I had obligations,
but had forgot my obligations
to you.
But this is too much,
because you're doing it to me now.
And I'm whiny,
and desperate,
and weak,
and saying more than most should know.
Please.

-Matthew Koutzun

Interpretation

Interpretation

I have heard your call.
And now I answer.

You wondered if you truly
understood
the smoke signals;

are they sent in
cherakee,
or Iroquis.

But you know in each
the meaning is the same,

and no Mary of the valley,
will tell you any different,

(even if they are jealous)

because they are enamoured
in the romance that is
cast from flame in me
to flame in you.

-Matthew Koutzun

Give- no, receive.

Give- no, receive.

Must I say it?
I love you?
{insert realization here}
I love you.
Words: no-
please lord,
give me action.
