We got Hope syndrome! One Hope for 1.00 dollar. Buy three Hopes for 75 cents! More is less.
As long as we, the humans, are buying hope or the idea of it, we are prone to let down our guard and chase endlessly the ideal on an artificial path, guided by the scent of a delusional reality. Like a schizophrenic, we are unable to distinguish between the imaginary, the existence of refuge, and the palpable, the survival through mundane.
Hope is the drug that every human being had overdosed on and is still growing in popularity. Hope, in any dose, transforms the ingurgitator into a gullible pursuant of one's own comfortability. read more »

A town close to nowhere
A town close to nowhere. From above everything seems close to nowhere. The steps, the dreams and hopes, the bus station or the bus itself seem to take us nowhere. The Globe itself seems to spin with a ferocious redundancy in a vicious cycle.

I know that I diminished considerably my chances to get your phone number, my beautiful stranger and drink companion, but maybe another drink would keep you glued to the stool as I slowly slip into an amorphous presence. I wish you were married, ugly, fat and a little bit more disgusting than I could ever describe so I could punish my impertinentcies by inviting you to a motel and kissing that repulsiveness over and over; and I would do that as a great lover, greater than Romeo and with more passion and loyalty than Don Juan was ever able to show; I’m very aware that the general concept about Don Juan is everything but loyalty. If our ephemeral encounter will permit, I shall develop further the Don Juan social hysteria. Anyway, once in a while I get masochistic and I tend to reprimand my antisocial behaviors with disgusting images; for balance’s sake. read more »

The Final-Final
The Final-Final
Everything has changed, the undistorted truth leaked
beyond the shadow of doubts
He was packing heat then pulled the trigger
hit by one stray bullet
antagonizing her sanity
The inquisition, her tongue spewing the last attemps at
reconciliation
gushing, "please take me back"
years of dismay forgotten
entrapment, extorted love
Juices of the gods inebriate only a fraction of her pain
the liability of future enterprise
position the bodies to be buried
telling headstones
I feel a queer relief, consulting my own pleasure
a conscience, once buried within the corners of gray matter, examines motives
wants or needs?
depraved homewrecker
Destination Unknown
BRILLIANT!
The Fog of 11/03/09
after work
family intercourse
the fog began to descend in the fall
the street was clear, the sky started to blur as a hope
the murkiness kept dripping until the wife beater across the street
turned into a sound
it came through my window into the kitchen
enveloped my immediate sight
I thought I could escape
the smoke I exhaled felt like home
on the stairwell was clear
I returned into the kitchen, into the unsight
I could've been spotted
the fog of my surroundings is not universal
the roundness is unflat
until then
I conceal the existance in my L.A. Kitcken
like the deathrow inmate hiding in the cell.
