Brutal Archive [Today's News Poem, April 19, 2010]
“Little Sofia was dead after being left alone for more than 14 hours, police said Monday.”
– Henry K. Lee, The San Francisco Chronicle, April 19, 2010

Though lost between the network links,
A hidden memory restores.
The sleeper stirs and starts to think:
“I know I've had that dream before...

A baby died within a car—
Where babes are both conceived and tried—
She cooked by sun and slept by stars.
I wept—for was that me inside?

She might have been my daughter, niece,
Or was that me, confined by strap
And tied to iron lungs by piece,
To atrophy inside a trap:

A book upon a shelf inside
A vault beneath the surface world—
Or simply bound to metal rides
That surfed the edge as vortex swirled?

My parents—did they work to death?
Or were they pruned and put within
An archive, paying dreams for breath:
Recalling times of hope and sin

To fund an internet machine that seems
To siphon-off their sparks of nightmare; dream?"

my brain got sore,
i spent 2 hours on my brain
#dontbeshocked if I haul off
and read your ass like a @ladygaga
newspaper, or worse.

If you're outta pocket, #dontbeshocked
Gun plus gun equals one full stomach
bang bang bang!
when I do something crazy just join in :)

yes, life has a way of bringing true colors out of peeps
good people are usually the ones who get fucked over
but If u keep looking in the same trash can
#dontbeshocked if u keep finding the same trash

my brain got sore
my brain got desperate
Omg I'm starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!
