Fuck the bulb
Fuck the watt

CNN holograms
when the youth forgets
they will
will you too say
fuck it

a white man dies by the clench of white hands
look at us guilty as sin you see
serious when it comes to business
more amazing than Guiness
people creating rhymes
can’t even finish
left out on the clothes line to dry
like women used
for one night
hair pulling women
chops busted
sent back 52 weeks
D.O.A. at the meat pack
spare ribs, all we got out of Adam
at birth, umbilical, at the end
a pen
cut off,
buried it
with the others
Breadwinner
Yeast rises once
blunt knife in the middle
comes out clean
always
if all is calm
if not
Damn.
King of Celio – 2011
What makes man king?
ask my dad
he might not tell you tonight, but, ask him.
He knows
from morning to the next night
things
that would dissolve
us one by one.
We should ask.
Kurt Cobain killed himself that week
With a green marker I wrote
KURT COBAIN
RxIxPx
on a white bath towel.
Teenage suicide- a few did it
resisted attempted tempted
carved his initals into arms
dyed hair flamingo pink
lit candles smoked weed got drunk
shot up snorted
Saturday morning and afternoon
my towel flew on the La Mirada Post Office flagpole.
The Worry Bone
The worry bone begins early enough
as a child.
Big enough
Sees through mini blinds
Parents’ arguments in the street
grinds down
through tough bones
just one break
strong enough to split me
in one direction.

No Doubt or bust: The Finale of OC’s Ska Waves.
Sadly, the notoriety of Orange County Ska will die with No Doubt’s next studio release. Yes, I believe that No Doubt’s next album (most likely their last) will be almost completely devoid of ska. And, no, ska guitar riffs, and occasional horns don’t count as a Ska album or even a ska influenced album.
I truly wish No Doubt proves me wrong…
In the meantime, here are the 3 best SKA bands from OC
(these are not my videos)
3rd Place
Nuckle Brothers
Of the many times seeing them, most awesome moment was seeing them in the middle of the day at a show in Huntington Beach…or it could have been Garbage Grove…all I know it was daylight and I was floating on the crowd of like 20 people. Small shows, the best.
2nd place
Suburban Rhythm.
NOT Suburban Legends, you faggy 4th wave fag
Was there a more awesome place in OC for ska shows than Old World in HB?
2nd place tie
I.E. but O.C.
Me and my friends drove to Riverside for shows several times, and my sister got her first ska pit stomping at their show at OLD WORLD IN HB in 93.
VOODOO GLOW SKULLS
1st Place
No Doubt
Any flag
Any flag
will make you color blind
small child
waving it
unknowing of its colors
til adult
zone in on it, hating,
wrong colors
one color should be the other
-eyes of the child
not colorblind-
they are not taunted
yet not capable to dispel
the
types
Under the grid
You don’t need to be
completely
under it
just be
getting against it
hating it
laughing at it
knowing the grid
is paycheck people
too many of us
for the grid to control.
