Advancement forever,
Like standing to stomping,
Spying to friendship.

Beyond process: Beyond measure.
Behind me are the days of leisure,
Hot temper, involvement of parent,
But you, I see are still there.

Covet beyond edges,
White lattice fences.
Void, in contentment,
It can destroy forever.

You're right about nothing,
So spare me a lecture,
Our neighbours are different,
Mine don't talk in direction,
And they ask if I'm still here.

Softly shifting silver sands,
Solid to liquid,
Liquid to gas.

I just felt, if you never left,
None of that comes to pass.

Cocky glibness, middle class,
Christmas to windows,
Windows to glass.

I just sat aside, never asking,
What do you say to the fairer sex?

You're everything I've ever dreamt?
Well, I find there's just none left, 
Nothing but adventures, 
And acceptance tests. 

Coffee drinking, ginger snaps,
Trauma to forgiveness,
Forgiveness until collapse.

You're everything I ever dreamt,
I'd do anything to bring you back,
Like an eye that stares ahead,
Tears roll down my face again.

I'll never be the things I lack,
I'll never change, skin like that,
Only grows with age.

Salt to water,
Water evaporates.

Life spent, upon a boat,
If you ask him how it went:

'I couldn't have known, how the waves would throw me,
If I had the chance I would do it again. You never know.'

Although, he said heresies,
If you ask me, it was like God when we spoke.
I couldn't have known, how what he said affected me,
If I had the chance, I would do it again, You never know.

The point is the point, 
Boys will be boys, 
The noise: Serpentine, 
Like around me it coils. 

I ask my father, what he knows... 

His axe to grind is my axe to grind,
Consequence, why my ass is fine.
But who dies I'll never choose,
I'll never have the chance to try.

The noise, deafening, and wide.
Like it surrounds me,
And I planned to hide.

As the waves they overtake me,
I realize everyone has to die,
Grandfather's axe was never mine, 
And nothing comes after,
A modern dance to time.

Macho dancer, nacho boy,
Follower, borrowed language,
Patterned, upon another land.
They call you boy, not a man.

Hollow laughter from the distance,
Borrowed valor, from deep sadness.
Thirty seven candles later you visit, 
Sorrow, passion, anger, business,
All over a taco salad?
I thought you had charisma?

They say your life, not your plan...
Also talent, not what you had.

Abscence, between smashing.
Not pathetic and sad,
Crippled by lattice fences,
Under another mask.

Actually? They call me often, I'm in demand.

Another sunset and other bands,
People are as carbon is to plants,
Commerce is to banks,
Son is to a dad.

Like the sun goes away, 
You should be by again, 
Instead, darkness stays,
Things change forever. 

Color is what he liked,
Now, it's black and white, 
Weddings, wallflower,
Cocaine and dice. 

Like a sun, centre sky, 
No exit stage right,
Eyes upon you, finally, 
No escape from caskets,
Or tricks to mezmerize. 

I wish I could tell you why,
Like the eyes upon you,
I can't sell you a lie, like, 
Everything is wonderful. 

You lost your mind with narcotics,
You lost your magic along with it,
Like the sun goes away,
You should be back again,
Instead, darkness stays.
Color, is what you liked,
Now, it's black or white,
No weddings, wallflower,
Mostly cocaine and dice.

Acting, unsatisfied. Static, over time. 
Am I alright? Everyone expires, I reply. 
As a traffic light, I stop and bathe in red.

Still, I'm hanging tight,
Still, I lag behind, 
Final, panting sighs: 
Fine, then, pass me by.

I'd rather be alive than dead... 

Stand aside? 
I'll walk as you run one last mile, 
Even if it's by myself...

Why do dusty, static people seem to find me? 
Am I the twilight in which it shines?

Red, Satanic light. Active, social life,
Better inside architecture, or the mind.
But, then, Wherefore does magic lie? 

Somewhere before the asking price.

Wide use of incense,
Tight, in defence,
Armside, spiderwebs,
Tight looking threads,
Bride beside herself.

In a sense, I require less,
No accidental catch,
No incidental crash,
No occidental trash,
Private gestures, wider netting, 
Quiet letters for me, tellings, 
Over ornamental brass setting. 

Is that too much to ask?

Red coral, white bands, 
Windmill motions, 
Arms moving forward,
If you get in the way, 
I'm waiting for you.
Healing potions in both my hands.

Pink coral, line graph,
One day the ocean...
For now, whatever passes. 

Yakub like arrangements, 
Only I divide you in half,
Led Zeppelin she says,
Is her favourite band.

But she loves Taylor swift and Robert Plant.

Red coral, white bands,
White flags, white magic.

Let go of my hand, she says,
She needs a wise man,
Not one coveting red.

You'll get in the way, 
I'm moving forward, 
Text messages sent.

White Coral, White mask,
While to dress, only black.

And all the red is gone, I guess...

What do all men have in common? 
Red, rattling armor,
Ass and breasts in their dogma, 
Actions in concert.

I suppose it's my problem...
Like cinnabar bath water,
and fear of god.

What do all red have in common?
Whatever shade, inside they want. 
Blue reflects poorly upon, 
Such asks their goddess.

Chris Adler stamps his feet,
Sick, he begs for his bottles,
I suppose it's Travis Barker's problem...

If fights ensue,
It's not of me, delights, or truth,
So why stand beneath?
At least in my mind the blue is me.

What of peacocks in the spring?
What of cheese in the crumbles?
What of resolve and my shivering?
Certainly, I can feel these things.
It's not beneath me,
Like red sees croplands,
Like rubber and tarmac.

Like green sees the sea: blue. 
Ironically, foolish for free verse. 
Traverse the world, but ask me, 
Just remove lines, write peace.

Irish flute, life renews,
Fights needs two,
Then favour winning,
Like red says to greens. 

I wish inside, though, blue remains.
Enticing eyes, confusing wings,
Flying, seems a bit childish to me,
As does to peacocks in the spring.

Narrow perceptions,
Narrow affections,
Despite prayers, attention,
Yellow shell for protection.

State your objections,
Friends for protection. 
But in your profession, 
You need a director,
For help, or whatever, 
For the show you live in.

And they have their agenda,
Sex, successors, buzz levels,
Namely, making you famous. 

Yet, if you know contentment,
Can you ask god, 
Inside somewhere, is there yellow?
I feel life swallowed me whole,
Until I crack, cry and bellow,
Like whales beneath the waves.

There's no corset for age, 
Inevitably, masks degrade, 
What cannot be truly said, 
Like what is inside of a bank?

I think:
Narrow focus, quests for fame. 
Yellow, orange, redder grapes,
Yellow locusts, yellow cobras, 
Despite the sweetness, slaves,
Yellow, love, and disgust of stage.

It's the red that keeps you away.
It's the red that keeps you awake,
It's red that made me ashamed,
Less sweet and prearranged. 

There is no chorus of praise,
Inevitably, that's an act of faith.
Like no corset abound my waist,
Only orange, celibacy and rage.

However, It's yellow up for debate,
Yellow in me sees people change,
Yellow, to me sits out by the stage, 
Yells out in unison to the play.

Pastel crayon, divine me.
Quite a lot of yellow fears...
I see.

I asked where are they? 
Inside me? Behind?
Corn, cream or citrine?
Honey, they see white...

Gleaming, unsheathed knife,
Streelights, divine me.
What is fear like?
White with yellow?

I think I could but part ways,
Let the meat meet the knife,
See yellow inside their face,
Toenails and eyes.

Again, define me,
Against this chaos I fight.

In Her Dreams

Everyday she grew more cynical,
Forewarned in the way he spoke.
'What makes trees grow?
Speaking indignantly?
Lazy, form english is what bees know.
Maybe there is more, maybe not.
Leaves, and lace upon her form,
Leers and mistakes on a forum,
Leaves and paces about a home.
Lady Clare, is this what you wish for?

Mais oui, upon meeting, she says,
but may we not once she sees him again.
She begs, making peace, but, maybe not.
What is under the stars, outside of the bar,
Yet above us all? In her mind, her.
But, actually, God. 
And he sees her like I see her:
Alone by herself, just of her mom.

Lo, girl, grate your feet, arms to nothing,
Cognizant, you can see what's coming.
So, use a word to cut deeper, I mean, 
Maybe there is more, maybe not...
Say please, and release the lions...
If a cognate speaks of alm, as always,
Bet a fool falls, autumn again, as always,
Winter follows.

Bees, on their belly, in a playful sense.
Wallows about woods and streams.
Striped appearance, demeanor, feelings,
He exits the scene with grace and dignity.
Asking the same, but bees scream, race,
As always, it's just the way things be.

Swallow a mouth full of eggs, and honey,
Forward, fundamentally things are different.
Not just you and me, for everyone that sees us.
The courts just take up space, mostly useless,
And friends never show up to court you, bee,
They treat you differently.

You are less than me, because you are less than nothing,
She says, and places her hands to the sun.
Youth burning away at her bloodied stumps,
Speaking in fear of a beast that runs, jumps,
Eating the bunnies she dreams about...

Dieting, and sex, paying rent.
Isn't life grand? Just as they said.
Like a rack, stack or chip:
Being colloquial, bland, rich.
Is like a fantastic black ship,
Which sits in the harbour,
Hoping to be used, again...

Oh, and add two dots to the end,
Again, she just hopes for the best.

White like her dress, amen.
White like her skin, and intents,
Alight in her eyes, that intensity,
Dying, like her teeth and her hair...

Oh, and white like the porcelain, 
She sees when she retches.
White like the faces of relatives.

Aegean, sing fool-speak to the masses.
Queen, think, but don't deceive Ophelia,
A mask would only cover your features,
Despite your sweetness, we see the madness.

So scratch at your hands, the lion dances.

The wind whispers to my skin,
It's like it speaks with every breath.
As if it has been calling out for my presence,
Waiting to see the face behind this mask.
So far it has shown nothing but disdain,
And I wonder if I have anything left to give.

In darkness I wander,
With nothing but my memories
Falling, falling, falling.
Where once I saw light now lies only gloom,
And I know that it has gone.
For those who wish for rest, I have none
Though I'd give up what I have, for one more.
But it's too much now, I can't move my hands,
I just want to sleep...
(My memory, it fades)
In the dark, with nothing to grasp,
The memories that I hold so dear
Fall away from me like they were never there.
And I feel as though I will fall into madness,
Like the very world is crumbling beneath my feet,
That everything is crashing down,
I fear I cannot stand the weight.
(I'm fading)
I just want to sleep...
(My memory, it fades)
***
I'm afraid I've gone and made a fool out of myself again,
I knew you wouldn't understand my reason,
And now you're not talking to me at all,
You see I didn't mean to let your memory fade,
It's like I was being pulled away by another force,
Something I didn't mean, something I can't control,
I don't even know why I'm still here...
I don't know why I'm still here.
I should leave this place, I know it's wrong,
I shouldn't be here in your mind,
I can't help the way that I am,
I don't know why I'm Super Mundane,
I can't stop feeling so low,
I'm afraid it's already too late.

I didn't mean to let you slip away,
But the thought of losing you just doesn't sit right,
To keep you awake and alive,
I need you here, I'm not alone,
Without you here with me I can't go on,
I don't know why I'm Super Mundane,
I don't know why I'm still here.
I didn't mean to let you slip away,
I just can't shake this feeling,
That something inside of me is broken,
I don't know why I'm Super Mundane,
I don't know why I'm still here.

This poem is an Articial Intelligence re-interpretation of "Super Mundane" by TheSoftSophist

If a caperberry were a fish,
Would it still be in your dish,
What food do you eschew, fool?
Escargot, bear, fruit and goose?
Verily, ask yourself this:
Do you know all, what is good?
Like bitter roots, Like butter runs,
Desire, let me dissolve into the slime,
Like a newborn child who never sees the sun.
