things that didn’t happen

~ sparksthompson

a roll in the hay
temporarily perfect
in with the slow strings

every time you smile
it feels good to be alive
and heaven is real

fuck in the ballpit
you’ll always be my hero
photopoetry

learn to trust again
approaching infinity
“blow bubbles with me”

gothic cathedrals
wish you were here to see this
intersecting highs

limp through the wreckage
wearing a hawaiian shirt
velvet bazooka

unpaid vacation
sent to live with grandma
this isn’t goodbye

fall asleep alone
torn up like toilet tissue
free spirit beatdown

dawn of a new age
try but it isn’t the same
i can cry to this

reach into the strange
bite off more than I could chew
slam into the ground

“what are you wearing”
full coconut plate armor
get out of my way

counterfeit pussy
this wasn’t part of the plan
salad suicide

no gods, no masters
the highs cancel out the lows
wasted final days

red rover cheat codes
biological killswitch
botch the synthesis

soul pornography
4-dimensional priesthood
spacetime fanfiction

with her jacket on
I strain, but the memory
slips away again

anime ending
leave without saying goodbye
it’s better this way

fail to stay awake
holographic confusion
fail to fall asleep

failure in paris
wow, what the fuck was that shit
failure in berlin

fail to live a life
get pushed out of the gene pool
fail to kill myself

when you remember
things people say don’t matter
cheap landscape paintings

ski instructor pep talk

~ lemonfacer

listen up maggots
shape-shifting snowmen
they are among us

any one of you
could be trying to kill us
with your snow powers

that’s why we ski fast
to get away from the snow
that’s why skis are sharp

to cut the snow’s skin
how damn much can I say it?
just fucking ski fast

I wanna see ya
doing black diamonds backwards
swerve through the forest

grind the roof of the
big restaurant ski-lounge place
wearing a blindfold

then do maybe like
this HUGE ass jump into a
1080 mctwist

and then we go back
to the vending machine room
next to the bus stop

and I get you kids
whatever candy you want
except fig newtons

cause those aren’t candy
and they shouldn’t even be there
but anything else

I will buy for you
because I make the big bucks
and I like candy

and it’s the last day
yet no one can ski at all
because you all suck

your parents are rich
and they give you everything
so you won’t feel pain

but then real life hits
learning takes time and effort
and what do you know

you turn out like shit
just like your parents wanted
and it bums me out

my disappointment
can only be remedied
through binge consumption

so everybody
meet me down at the bottom
look for the red flag

oh and one last thing
let’s save us both the lecture
don’t tell your parents
