the

thieves

the

thieves

the

many

whom

I

have

met

surrounding

until

they

choke

the

thieves

whom

burn

and

turn

and

then

the

thieves

whom

meet

the

thoughtful

blithe

and

a

deafening

silence

that

effortlessly

descended

and

grew

from

the

rocky

mountain

that

overlooked

deaths'

machines

the

thieves

whom

quickly

took

what

they

could

in

hopes

to

defend

themselves

and

the

thieves

whom

quickly

grew

weak

to

an

army

only

ever

described

as

the

question

the

thieves

whom

did

not

know

their

own

answer

the

thieves

whom

did

not

know

how

to

thieve

an

answer

and

the

thieves

whom

sit

so

silently

ready

to

learn

what

they

could

never

know

the

thieves

whom

sit

so

silently

eager

to

open

the

book

written

in

a

language

they

do

not

know

and

well

the language of love is said to not be capable of translation

the thieves, one by one, left behind in the dust

whatsoever

that

people

don't

understand

when

they

aren't

allowed

to

or

given

the opportunity

to

understand

they

are

then

forced

to

stand under

a

misconception

given

to them

that

they

then

see

as

their

own

understanding

or

thought

or

belief

we're

kind

of

talking

about

past

but

really

focusing

on

...

we

will

have

to

save

that

for

later

the

difference

of

growth

change

&

wanting

something

so

much

that

you

are

not

sure

how

much

you

really

want

it

anymore

as

a

term

be

simply

as

as

in my terms,

yo

let's

fucking

celebrate

because

there

are

so

many

great

things

happening

not

doing

this

for

you

doing

this

for

a

love

that

I

found

from

one

person

and

that

influence

that

happened

years

ago

and

ever

remains

still

yet

progressive

live on, parallels.

homosexual men

in

this

city

don't

understand

that

having muscles

and

looking

good

in

pictures

doesn't

make

you

attractive

attraction

is

much

more

than

physical

things

one

possesses

stop

being

such

stereotypical

whores

running

around

fucking

everyone

and

anyone

you

can

within

your

metropolitan

area

that

shit's

gross

a

bit

influenced

but

the things

that have

happened

they happened

because

of my

past

&

I

am

at

a

crossroads

now

of

past

&

future

where

things

aren't

quite clear

so

I

am

just

pushing

pushing

for

the

moments

of

beauty

pushing

for

what

I

have

found

pushing

for

what

really

can

be

&

that

is

fuck

ing

beautiful

in

a

way

that

exploits

my

mistaken

thought

&

exploits

why

I

am

alive

try

to

hate

me

for

that

&

I

will

show

you

what

is

really

up

bitches

they say

that

you

are

who

you

surround

yourself

with

the

people

that

surround

me

they don't

understand

me

they

don't

grasp

what

I'm saying

they

want

to

get it

yet

they

wont

I

know

they

wont

because

I'm

not

here

yet

because

I

haven't

found

the

they

that

get it

they

are

not

here

and

I

am

not

there

I

met

you

in

a

dream

&

promised

you

the world

show

me

where

you

come

from

&

how

you

got

here

here

to

these

streets

that

I

have

learned

so well

here

to

these

streets

that

don't

yet

know

my name

here

that

forever

changes

my

perception

here

where

I

chose

to

be

where can I go to get a BFA in "No Drama, but Thanks Anyways"

...

I will

elaborate

on that

last...

usually

usually

there is 

so much

heart

in

this

kind of

connection

but

with you

the

passion

feels

as though

it might

find

its

peak

only

through

physical

means

that's not

necessarily

a 

bad

thing

it's

just

a new

thing

how

strange

you're probably

one of

the

only

people

I

have ever

met

that

I

lust

only

lust

and

that

is so

strange

to

me

drinking free

Corona

Extra

is

a lot

like being

hit in

the

face

with

intoxication

happy

donations

also include

opportunities

also
on another note
having

doesn't
make you
more intelligent
it just

that

Shzschoppyze

everything

is

so

goddamn

beautiful

I just

can't

help

it

climbing over 

the mountains

the mountains 

that once contained me

the mountains 

that once kept me in one place

the mountains 

that once told me, "no"

fuck

them

hello

to moving

onward

&

hello

to seeing

their

beauty

as well

as my

own

excitement

anticipation

things of disgust/distaste/frustration

America removes

the element

of being 

human

in it's

laws

America forgets

that humans

are still

animals

just as much

as every

animal

we share

the earth

with

America idolizes

a flag of

stars and stripes

under the name
of a higher

power that

spoke against

idols

Why have

we forgotten

all of this

and built

an economy

to help

us forget

this

ever more?

last night I'm riding my bike to my friend's apartment

happened to have a bag of unknown contents on me 

that was supposed to make its way to this friend

I'm going through a park in Maryland that I've gone through before

no problem

when out of nowhere I hear someone yell at me

I stop, pull one headphone out

as I am approached by two police officers

they ask if I had my ID on me

I thought I left it at home so I simply said, "no"

they ask my age with a harsh tone

so I asked, "what does it matter?"

they then pull me off of my bike

and throw my face onto a recycling bin

they pull everything out of my pockets

very forcefully, mind you

and begin searching me

at one point they tell me to spread my legs

so I did

and then I get my right leg kicked to the side

VERY FORCEFULLY

I can barely hear the things they are saying

because I have a headphone in still

at this point

I ask the officer if I could remove it to hear him better

and he simply says

"no"

they find my ID in my wallet

and the insults begin

these are things that they said to me

word for word

"oh, you're from Virginia so you think you're better than everyone else, huh?"

"you smoke a lot of weed."

"you smoke a lot of weed on Cinco de Mayo."

"you look like you're going through withdraw"

"do you have a name for your bike? Mine's called Mary Jane."

"Have fun at art school.  That's not real school."

"What's your major?  Stupidity?"

"you smoke weed"

that's only the fucking beginning

however

I have a human rights sticker

clearly visible on my bike

and I have reason to believe that

is possibly the main cause of all of this

I can't believe that this is our police force

THAT IS NOT RIGHT

THAT IS NOT JUSTICE

THAT IS NOT THE WAY

I

AS A CITIZEN

DESERVE TO BE TREATED

Land of the not so free

Home to the power-abusive

going to start keeping the personal shit separate

from this blog

but first

just want to explain that my roommate is

very... ummm...

well he likes to get drunk and say really

annoying things

earlier this week it was some bullshit

kind of proving why there's a gap

in the trust that I think you're supposed

to have with someone you share a space with

but last night I'm not even really sure what it was

I had headphones in so I didn't have to listen to

half of it

I try to express the fact that there isn't anyone

at this school that is my type

and somehow that turns into him thinking

of himself

dude... no.

gross.

it's not all about you

selfish really knows itself

really well

I only write this because

creepy people do

creepy shit

as in

the snoop

sorry dude
but you
drink a little
too much and
you're
just not
my type

thanks anyways

want

being the

difference

of need

just

want

want&ask

disconnect

again

can't

help

but

think

what might

be

you

&

me

indecisive

but

always

remembering

what's wanted

waking up

not knowing

the

difference

between the

dream and

reality

same songs

on repeat

dancing while

I walk

would've thanked you

for your honesty

of opinion

but

as said

before

you've got

me all

wrong

&

I don't

need that

kind of

shit from

anybody

it's just

me

coffee

&

cigarettes

again

just like

before

don't get

too

caught up

in the

wrong

impressions

you might

miss

what's

right in

front of

you.

[you've got me all wrong]

me would

that

actually

does make

me

the thing
