   Ursula, Ursula, counting in my head.  Six more days to go until I change up my meds!  the way i feel about you hasn’t changed  so this is real life—but does she know that I live with my parents—and I like it here?  she must know that if she’s telling me that the way she feels about me hasn’t changed.  but i know what you’re thinking: his old meds are wearing off—he’s gotten used to them, his brain has adapted.  there may have been some truth  to that, since I was developing an expensive soda habit—several a day, now.  I’m an addict, what can I say?  Everything is so expensive—don’t know how I ever thought i was going to get my life to work when I moved out in the first place—thinking, back then, that I should be close to a woman, getting sex whenever, but i was always wondering whether or not i could get an erection, so, in a way, it was torture.  Add that to the fact that I had this secret homosexual (30%) box that I lived in—that I had to keep secret, and, well, you might expect that i’d have problems even without the meds to take my impotence to a whole other level.

This offers a vivid, unfiltered stream of thought that moves through memory, desire, and reflection with a distinctive, poetic voice. Its imagery is striking and unconventional, drawing the reader into a deeply personal world shaped by moments of tension, curiosity, and emotional honesty.

There’s a quiet persistence beneath the surface—an urge to understand, to express, and to be heard. Thoughtful and imaginative, it speaks to readers who appreciate poetry that challenges, lingers, and resists simple explanation.

3.29.26: Poem Untitled 1 #12

This installment offers a provocative meditation on identity, devotion, and inner conflict, weaving together religious symbolism, personal introspection, and surreal narrative shifts. The speaker moves through images of judgment, desire, and transformation, confronting both external authority and internal fragmentation. Biblical undertones intersect with modern disillusionment, creating a tension between submission and self-assertion. The language is deliberately compressed and associative, inviting readers to navigate ambiguity and layered meaning rather than fixed interpretation. Themes of love—divine, self-directed, and relational—are continually reframed, suggesting both rupture and reconciliation. At once unsettling and reflective, the piece challenges conventional boundaries between sacred and profane, offering a psychologically rich exploration of conscience, power, and the struggle for coherence in a fractured inner world.

    Well, here we were: my mind was dominated by the anticipation of getting off a few things, getting my sexual health back, not being constipated, and losing ten pounds.  It was the main thing i could think of save how my new posts were doing on my social media accounts.  I heard a snippet, then, of my scotch uncle (my math uncle) but I don’t know what he said.  I’d been dealing with some Wi-Fi issues—nothing major but definitely annoying as i was clearly missing something—and so, once i got that settled, my routine had been disrupted, and I couldn’t focus well enough to apply myself to my math book.  I dedicated myself to my new book-length poem instead—shamelessly dense and prone to referencing various forms of literature that other people might not know anything about.  Those that did, however, I think, would appreciate it.  Maybe not any time soon, of course, but, I think, in the future, since, as a matter of fact, the future is where I live.

3.28.26: Poem Untitled 1 #11

This installment presents a layered, intellectually charged meditation on faith, desire, and renunciation. Blending literary allusions—from *The Scarlet Letter* to *Moby-Dick*—with biblical imagery, the poem traces a speaker caught between spiritual devotion and human impulse. Its language oscillates between the physical and the metaphysical, using dense, shifting imagery to mirror inner conflict. The voice feels both confessional and analytical, as if interrogating its own transformation in real time. Themes of sacrifice, identity, and moral realignment emerge through rhythmic tension and symbolic compression. At once intimate and expansive, the piece navigates ambiguity, questioning the cost of transcendence and the boundaries between salvation, self-denial, and the enduring pull of embodied experience.

3.27.26: 1 Album 11: The story of Jesús

The vocal line and guitar writing unfold in a tightly interwoven dialogue, each shaping the other’s expressive contour rather than occupying separate roles. The voice carries a lyrical, almost confessional arc, while the guitar provides a grounded yet responsive harmonic framework, often anticipating or echoing the vocal phrasing. This creates a sense of forward motion that feels both deliberate and emotionally immediate. Subtle rhythmic interplay allows the guitar to act as both anchor and counterpoint, reinforcing key moments while leaving space for vocal nuance. As suggested in *The story of Jesús* score , the interaction favors intimacy over density, yielding a texture where restraint heightens impact. The result is a cohesive, conversational sound world that balances structural clarity with expressive depth.

3.27.26: Poem Untitled 1 #10

A charged, introspective poem that navigates the fragile boundary between clarity and unraveling, this piece blends spiritual longing, psychological tension, and raw self-awareness. The speaker moves through cycles of anticipation, loss, and devotion, grappling with identity, medication, and the promise of transformation. Fragmented yet deliberate, the language mirrors a mind in flux—oscillating between control and surrender, conviction and vulnerability. Religious imagery and intimate address create a layered dialogue between self, other, and the divine. Moments of stark realism collide with surreal turns, producing a disorienting but compelling emotional landscape. Ultimately, the work captures the uneasy hope of reinvention, where love, faith, and instability converge in a voice that is both defiant and searching.

    The slightest disturbance can set me off; was that a confession? You don’t need me anymore; but I had to disagree.  It was possible, anyhow, that she wasn’t just trying to brush me off; she might’ve been feeling (fingers crossed) that she couldn’t make me happy.  Did she think, long term, that I would withdraw from the relationship?  Perhaps after having children around?  I always felt that my work was more important than anything, and, while that might be true if I was the only person around—I knew my work depended on the love I shared with others—and the ways that i expressed that love; communicating the love that we, as humans, feel for each other is how we not only get close to God—but it’s also how we communicate with him.

3.26.26: Poem Untitled 1 #9

This section of the poem presents a surreal, intellectually layered meditation that blends biblical allusion, intimate voice, and cosmic imagery. Figures such as Abraham, Pharaoh, and Ishmael appear not as fixed references but as shifting symbols within a dreamlike landscape, where authority, devotion, and identity are constantly reexamined. The poem moves fluidly between the personal and the mythic, pairing moments of humor and strangeness with a steady formal rhythm that anchors its unpredictability. Romantic fixation intertwines with philosophical tension, suggesting both resistance to and longing for higher order. By juxtaposing the sacred with the absurd, the work invites multiple interpretations while maintaining emotional coherence. It is designed for readers who value poetry that challenges linear meaning and rewards close, thoughtful engagement.
