Some Poems

"Throw the switch!"
   And lightning flashed
   My assistants screams of excitement
   "It worked. My God it actually worked!"
   Infinately echoed as the vortex swallowed me
Fadeing in are the sounds of a new time
   Then the worm hole finally births me
   "What in tarnation?" sais a drunk laying in the gutter
   By the looks of it,
   I may have gone back too far.



Why can't they show "King of the Hill" all day?
   This would lead to a much happier world.
Why can't I quit my job and drop out of school?
   Stay home all day and watch "King of the Hill".
Live a life free from problems
Live a life free from responsibilities
Can I quit my life and just become a Hill?
Where even the realest of issues
Will never matter to the outside world.
Why can't I live a stress free life
And just stay home and watch "King of the Hill"?



Standing by himself
He is dirty, old and balding
Now reaching into a trash bag
Where he keeps all of his belongings

Out of the bag he pulls a capri-sun
Drinking it as fast as he can
The pouch is crushed by his hand
And in no time, the drink is gone

He throws his garbage on the ground
And walks away.



The sky turns black
   And silence engulfs the land
   The streets lay empty
   Quiet, dead
The blackness of the sky
   Swallows all of the light
   And all of the life
   In the desert town.
